Valedictory by Josephine Caster
In quiet village in one OF the most
fertile regions of the world, lay the
valley of Mesopotamia. Against the
green velvet of the gown, which
clothed her hills glistened the silver
ribbon Of her streams, flashing in the
summer sun, and on her bosom
nestled sweet blossom, the peaceful
village of Yakima.
Thousands of miles from this
lovely valley, the streams across
poppy fields ran red with the blood of
heroes, and the air reverberated with
the clash Of steel on steel as Ar
rogance and Avarice contended for
the mastery of the world.
The Inhabitants Of the valley never
heard the sound Of the conflict, and
to them the enemy seemed very far
away. But. one day the sage Of the
village, he to whom they had long
looked for counsel, rose up and said:
'On Flanders field the foes Of man
kind would wrest the scepter from
liberty and trample her under their
feet. But there, only, is the fight
visible and spectacular. Lo! the.
same enemy stalks unchallenged at
the very door of your homes" And
they looked, and behold, it was even
as the sage had said. Ignorance and
laziness and stupidity.
walked brazenly abroad in the land.
their presence unrebuked.
When the people of the village
realized their danger, they became
thoroly aroused. "We have some
lighting equipment" they said: 1--WE
must have more and better and we
must issue call for volunteers"
And SO they chose six men of the.
village, men of known standing and
ability and to them they intrusted
the management Of the campaign.
In response to the call for yolun-
teers in the fall of 1917 COMPANY of
nearly 100 young men presented
themselves for examination. Some
u them failed to pass, for various
'easons, the principal one being
'hort-sightedness.

ment exercises when twenty-siz
seniors received their diplomas.
The principal address "The Second
Mile" was given by w. D. Vincent
formerly superintendent Of schools
in this city. The valedictory was
given by Josephine Caster and the
saluatory by Verl Bentley:
i The Second Mile
It was in ancient Phonicia that
land of sibilant music and languid
maidens, that land of blatant soldiers
and despised slaves, that land of high
estate and groveling serfdom, that
land where time moved on slothful
wings and common lives were meas
ured out like the grains of sand in
the hour glass of eternity, there
where common man was mere Incl
dent, but the immortal king was
supreme.
Will you glance with me upon a
gala day of this ancient people. Be-
hind us flows the sluggish, sand filled
waters Of small river, before us
towers the rugged walls of man.
made mountain carved and shaped by
the toling hands of hundreds of hui
man slaves. Broad Of base, tower
ing skyward, each huge ledge mar
rowing down by the half width of the
massive stones. Rocks that weighed
/, tons carved and smoothed, piled tier
above tier, until we see gigantic
pyramid rising like the steps Of a
\ stairs, but ever narrowing until at
I last we see the top which is fiat and
unfinished but today we are to see
the top of this pyramid put in place.
The scene is an inspiring one. Here
! stands the king with his ropal fol-
lowers. This monster pyramid is a
monument to his memor and is to
become his sacred sepuncher. All
about are the rabble, colorful and ex-
fpectant. The slaves stand apart
awaiting the command Of the hand
ened drivers. The final day has
come. We are to see the completion
of the task. The huge cap rock is to
be put in place, and in the presence
Of the king. All is ready. The
master workman has given his final
inspection and stands poised to give
the word which shall start the
monster MINDLESS and the many
levers, which shall lift the cap to its
dizzy height and there deposit it, the
wonder Of all peoples and all time.
The king is seen to stir, he arises.
BY nod he comes the master
BY nod he beckons the master me-
chanic to his side. In kingly tones
he speaks. "Is all prepared for the
hosting, my man, can there be no
failure?" my Lord and king, II
would stake my life upon the success
OF the success Of the enterprise"
Then thou shalt do more for your
kind commands that not only you,
but they only begotten son shall be
strapped hard to the cap, ere I give

the word for it's hosting" Amidst
the pleading of the retainers and the
gasps ,of the rabbIe the son rushes
forth and mounts the cap with pride
and courage, becoming the hesitant
father to a seat by his side. The word
is given, slowly amidst the hush of
the assembled thousands the cap
rises higher and still higher, until
it rests securely in its appointed
place.
Needless to harken to the cheer
ing, profitless to dwell upon the re-
joicing, but our human hearts go cut
to that father who staked all most
dear to him upon the success of his
devices. and in turn we feel thrill
for the son whose implicit confidence
rested in that father, his ability, his
honesty of work and his skill.
And as the cheering ceased the
master mechanic was heard to MUIR
muir in dream Of satisfaction, Thus
sayeth the prophet-An whosoever
shall COMPEL thee to 60 mile, go
with him twain, and here find my
subject for this short address, "And
whatsoever shall compel you to go a
mile with him 60 with him two."
In ancient Phonecia, in medieval
Rome, in feudal England, in revolu-
tionary France, in modern America,
1t is the second mile that counts. All
history is record of this truth, all
biography attests it, all business es-
tablishes it.
There is peculiar fact about bust
ness that can be readily expressed in
the seemingly senseless phrase Of
current coinage. 1t is: "a little too
much Is just enough"
Not long since a former pupil of
mine wrote me that his boss had
been fired. was sorry for the boss;

lighted with myself for the occurrence

Of his lot. He told me how his boss
was loafing on the job, leaving all
the work for my young friend to do.
He gets the big money and get the
hard work. He wound up with
gesture Of despair. what shall I
do?"
I told him to do more work
"But I am doing so much already
that I scarcely have time to Sleep"
he walled.
II know it, but do more. Do so
much that everybody in the office
will notice it and do it cheerfully and
then see what will happen"
Well, it happened. The boss was
fired and my young friend has the
job.
Men progress in efficiency only as
their love and loyalty for the concern
for which they work develops. The
man who is not interested in his job,
heart and soul, will never reach a
very high managerial position.

When you wake up with backache

acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed

sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheumat-
ic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full
