Highest Number of Points Given to j.
West Townsend. OF Traer, in the
OratOrical Class

The Iowa state high SchOOl deciama-
tory contest, held at the opera house
here on Friday evening, did not draw
as large crowd as had been expected,
probably due to the fact that the local
high school was not represented and
the ma iority of the other schools repre-
scented being so far removed that 1t was
out of the question for >them to send
DELEGATIONS here Those of our people
who attended feel well repaid for their
efforts and pronounce it one of the best
entertainments of it's kind ever given
here. 5
There were twelve contestants in the
three classes, OratOrical. dramatic ana
humorous, who were winners over S.Ooo
high school students of the state who
competed in the. various elimination
contests. The winners of the three
classes according to the decision OF the
Judges were: j. West Townsend, of
Traer, in the oratorical class, his sub,

guerite Sexton, of Waterloo, in the dra-l
matte class, her subject being '"fhe ALI
en-. and Dean Caldwell, of Clarinda. in
the humorous class, his subject being

1t was no easy task for Superinten-

1t is remarkable that all three of the
Judges did rank the three winners OF
each class the same, although their.
markings did differ on the remainder OF
the contestants.

which the Judges placed them:

MEETING HELD MONDAY
Stockholders of Oakland Cemetery AS
ISOLATION Met at Club Rooms Mon
\ day Eyeing-NO. Quorum Present

The regular annual meeting of the
Oakland Cemetery association was
scheduled to be held at the Carnegie
club rooms on last Monday evening at
8 o'clock, but as quorum was mot
present the meeting was adjourned
without transacting any business. Only
four stockholders were in attendance.
Z 1t is to be regretted that the stock.
holders in the cemetery association are
not taking anNactive interest in the at,
fairs of the cemetery. For the past
three years the annual meeting has
failed to attract enough of the stock
holders to permit their transacting any
business.
The Oakland cemetery is one OF the
.prettiest cemeteries in this section of
the state and the improvements made
during the past few years have been
due to the efforts of but a few OF the
members who show disposition to keep
the property improved.

At. the time of the recent state de-

much interest developed over the con.

Denison girl. Miss Florence Baker, Miss
Baker lived here, for many years. her
parents being well known. She went
from Denison to study OrHtory and re-,
turned to teach it here for time. Miss
Baker has been with the Waterloo
schools for over two years and has
scored a distinct success in having her
pupils carry off the state prize in the,
dramatic class. That called for an Inn

While going to his work in the
High School building Tuesday morn
ing about o'clock, W. c. Kirchho6
noticed an electric light wire burning
on the ground in front of the ". n.
Miller home on Main street. He
stopped an attempted to kick the
thing over against the parking, out
of the way, but no sooner had the
heel of his shoe come in contact with
the wire he found himself on his back
on the ground. He gathered himself
together and went on to the school
house where he put in call for the
city electrician who came shortly and
repaired the line. 1t is a miracle that
Mr.. Kirchhoff was not killed when he
kicked the wire of $500 volts and it
will probably be a miracle if he ever
kicks another. The proper thing to
do in cases of that kind is to walk
away around such wires and call the
electrician as soon as possible. It's
a mighty dangerous proposition to
fool with.-Russell Record.
