 The graduation exercises of Putnam High school were held Thursday evening in the Victory theatre, which was crowd ed to the doors by friends and relatives of the S7 members of the class of 1921 who received their diplomas from the hands of Superintendent of Schools William L. Macdonald.
 Members of the three under classes of the school occupied seats upon the plat form, which was banked with ferns and palms, and over which hung the motto of the graduating class: All Are Needed by Each One. On one side of the platform the flag of the state of Connecticut hung and on the other the American flag. The banner of the class of 1921, made of purple and gold silk, was in the center of the stage. The members of the graduat- ing class sat in chairs on the floor of the auditorium, and in receiving the diploma each member stepped to a raised plat form and there had it handed to him or her.
 Particular interest in the exercises centered in the award of the Eden Tatem Memorial prize. This award is made from a fund given in memory of Miss Eden Tatem by her mother and father MT. and Mrs. J. B. Tatem of Putnam and the income is to be used each year to buy a set of books to present at commence ment to the pupil of the senior class whc during the four years of school has made 1 the most progress in the study of Eng 1 fish. This year, the first since the fund was established, the award was made tC Miss Helen Thompson, daughter of MT

Among all the remedies offered for
the cure of our Industrial ills moth
ing has appeared so lacking in sound
business principles as the proposal OF
the Kansas Livestock association
that railroad rates be reduced to the
pre-war figures. 1t is we'll known that
the railroads, just preceding the war,
were on the verge of bankruptcy.
where they had been driven by the
interstate commerce commission and
the forty EIGHT state commissions and
legislatures. If they could make no
money at that time at the rate
charged. how could they continue
operation now on those rates, when
everything they must buy costs so
much more? Rails, for instance, even
alter recent reductions. are $12 ton
higher than they were before the war.
Besides, nobody believes for a minute
that wages of railway workers can be
forced down to pre-war figures.

and follow me-that was what he was
constantly teaching. His idea was
that a man must purge his heart Of all
selfiShnesS in order rightly to serve.
And service to Him was the supreme
task in life.
Only as we get this fine and SPLEEN
did idea into our. minds are we able
to appreciate the soundness of life's
great ideals.
I believe that the reason why we
find it so much easier to carry other
peoples burdens than our own is-that
We magnify our own to proportions
far beyond what they actually are.
We must constantly learn that we
must give up-that We must let pass
many of the things for which we so
much long When we first think this
over, it seems unfair and quite i'm
possible. But after we have put the
principle to the test and have let time
pull us to the right distance from our
decisions, we find our perspective
quite right
We must give up--in order that we
may giveI
Mothers understand what this
means. Builders of nations get it
clearly. Leaders in every great move
ment for the betterment of humanity
do not have to be taught this sublime
truth. Each knows it instinctively.
And SO they give up-that they may
gladly and happily give.
If you are unhappy and discour-
aged, the chances are that you are
concentrating too much on your own
ways and means
Don't try to get--but give upi
