AL PHA EPAR TMEN IT
TO Connect Buck Lake Farming Dis
trict Win County Road

The township board OF Mastodon
township has decided to build about
half mile OF road TO connect the
Buck lake settlement road with the
new county road at point west OF
the village
AS at present laid out II is nee
essary for the farmers in the Buck
lake settlement. and there are % OF
them, to drive through the mine yards
at the Judson mine. II Is an ex-
tremely unhandy way 10 get TO town
and also dangerous way for there
is always more or less activity In the
mine yards with which the traveller
Is liable TO get tangled up. In order
TO do away with the danger occasion
ed by this old road the township will
hit directly north from Buck lake
road and join onto the Chicagon lake
road near the west village limits.
Work will be started on this road
just as soon as arrangements can be
made to put Il through. II is not an
expensive piece OF work and by its be-
Ing done the Buck Lake section will
be made much more accessible.

THEATRE BURNED
Old Dodero Building Totally Consum'
ed by Fire Last Week

The Alpha Theater, also known as
the "Dodero Building" located about
midway up the hill from the North
Western station, was burned TO the
ground one evening last week.
The building was not being used
AT the time It was destroyed but was
to have been put into commission next
week by man named Lawrence OF
Minneapolis.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Ii had gained such headway when
discovered that all hopes OF saving 1t
was vain and AZ burned like tinder.
1t is understood that there was no
insurance on the structure as II was
not occupied. II was owned by a
man in Minneapolis, who secured II
through mortgage sale something
over year ago.

MRS. SCHOONMAKER MAKES APPEAL
TO YOUNG WOMEN

Every effort that human ingenuity
backed by benefcent nature could de-
wise, was exerted to make the first
University Commencement a success.
That it was a success is enthusiastic
ally attested by the thousands who
thrilled to the spectacle of the largest
class in the history of Old Delaware;
to the sane, optimistic message of the
distinguished speaker; to the recital
of achievements during the past year;
to the vision of the large number of
young men equipped and willing to
accept commissions in the Reserve
Officers Training Corps. Even the
famous classes of '96 and '99 re-
Trained from the usual invidious COM
parisons, which is after all the final
word in support of the claim that the
first University Commencement was
one of which loyal sons and friends Of
Old Delaware may we'll be proud.
In the academic procession in addi-
tion to the faculty and the graduating
class, were President Walter Hullihen,
Dean Winifred J. Robinson, the
speaker, Governor William D. Denney
and his staff, Rev. Harvey Ewing of
the Class of '84 who gave the invoca-
ton, Rev. John MacMurray who pro-
nounced the benediction, President
Henry B. Thompson of the Board of
Trustees, and three members OF
former classes who received advanced
degrees.
/ A long, inspiring line, the procession
marched from Wolf Hall to the
campus of Old College and to music by
the University orchestra, took thei,
assigned places under the historic lin
dens and on the steps of Old College.
