WE POINT WITH PRIDE

cessful aud satisfactory school years
in the history of the district, due
mainly to the efficient work of our
faculty aud the active and intelligent
cooperation of our school board. And
we are particularly proud of our splen-
did class graduates of this year.
Individually and collectively they VIII
rank with the best in the land, and
viii reflect honor and credit upon the
community which produced them.
To village council which feels the
responsibility of its position; has def
mite and practical ideas about the
government of our little city, and the
energy and ability to carry them out.
To the finest road grading ever seen
on the prairie now being done in the
Prairie Highway District by Matt
Schmidlkofer and his assistant. Matt
has delicate and artistic touch in
the manipulation eff the grader, and
when he completes a job it is not only
work of art and joy to the eve,
but a source of satisfaction and com
fort to the traveller, and of pride to
every resident of the district.
To our American Legion Band, an
organization of which any community
of this size might be proud. There Is
nothing so stimulating TO the spirit as
band music, and the boys are gener.
Gus in furnishing inspiration and en-
tertainment at our ball games and
other public gatherings.
To the fact that the High School
auditorium is soon to have a coat of
paint; nice, new, fresh, smelly paint.
There is no difference of opinion as
to the need of this improvement, and
the entire community viii feel CRATE
! full to those who are responsible for
! it.
To a Boy Scout organization, part
of the national body. The Boy Scout
organization is one of the finest insti-
tutions Of which this age can boast.
1t has but one object and that is the
building of better citizens II is a
movement that every individual
should encourage and support without
reserve, no matter what his national
ity, creed or politics.
Incidentally the local boys defeated
the King Tuts in one of the most spec
tacular ball games ever played short
time back. This victory is the more
remarkable when we consider that the
losing team had the advantage of over
three and half centuries of hnmaf
experience practically all deleted b.
censor) on its side. In addition u
brought to bat ton Of more OF less
animated beef, bone and??f II made
enough errors in five innings
to hopelessly submerge the best tear
in the National League. 1t has told
enough lies to its wives to reach y
Mars and back, and half way to the
depot, if laid end TO end. 1t had
enough sore muscles after the game e
reach to the top of the Woolworth
building, if piled one on top of the
other. 1t produced enough alibis, af'
ter the game, to free every banker IN
the state of Idaho, if properly present
ed to the court. Yet, Notwithstanding
the color and variety of its past, the
dignity and weight Of its present, and
the fulsome promise of its future, this
imposing aggregation of athletes went
down to defeat before the victorious
bats of youth triumphant in the per
son of the Boy Scout team This ex-
perience has proven to the Tuts that
time still fugits, and that the pinochle
muscle may be matter of pride IN
the parlor, but that it gathers nc
grapes on the baseball diamond
To the fine spirit in which our ap-
preaching Chautauqua has been re-
ceived. which insures its success in all
respects and is assurance to the Local
euarantors that their effort to bring
this splendid entertainment to the
community is appreciated and will be
suppored. This years program prom
ises to be the best we have had in foui
wears. The directors are making theii
! programs more entertaining and less
educational to meet the popular de
mand; fewer heavy lectures and less
classical music, and more of the kinc
of stuff everybody enjoys and appre'
ciates.
To an all-home base ball team thai
is making a 1000 per cent record, anc
is said by experts to be the best thi'
community has boasted in many years
A bunch of players who work with
their heads and hands, making scores
by hitting the ball often and hard
The exceedingly clever work of thu
battery of young timber Sehlader an'
Gertie, is niftily carried along by th'
in and out-field.
