"a GRADUATES
GIVEN DIPLOMAS ?
3 SIDNEY SCHOOLS

At the graduation exercises of the
Sidney public schools held last even
ing in the Sidney town hall diplomas
were conferred to IA graduates by
John Il. Tapley, superintendent OF
the Oakland and Sidney public
schools. Each senior spoke during
the evening and Mr.. Tapley gave the
commencement address.
In his address Mr.. Tapley mar
veled at the wonderful changes that
had taken place since he had left
the grammar school. He declared
that it did not come about through
any one man or group of men but
through the crystallization of knowl-
edge. He spoke of reading the
books such as Jules Verne's "Twen-
ty Thousand Leagues Under Sea"
which was fiction when written but
which is now reality through the
invention of the submarine. Among
the other wonderful inventions that
were predicted in the fiction of his
younger days is the flying machine.
the radio and telephone.
Then Mr.. Tapley told of some of
the disturbing elements that are
taking place at this time. He men,
toned the attitude of Governor
Smith of New York toward prohibit
ton, the telephone strike which he
said was not called for, and the law
that made the working hours for
women eight hours while the men
had to work nine hours.
In speaking to the class of 1923
he said he was proud of the town
of Sidney with a population of 900
to graduate such large class. And
better still he declared every men,
Der of the class but one is going to
High school.
His advice to the class of 1923
was to remember their duty to home,
to country and to God, quoting from
conversation between DIR. Chal-
mers and Theodore Roosevelt.
Prayer at the opening of the pro-
gram was offered by George Man.

PALOUSE Farmers LEADi
in AUTH ownership

More farmers own automobiles in
the Palouse district of Washington

district of the country. Farmers in
the Inland Empire wheat belt are SO
per cent owners of automobiles or
trucks, according to a recent study
by the department of agriculture. The
industrial bureau of the Spokane
chamber of commerce calls attention
to the results in the first of a Sc
ries of bulletins that are to go out
to it's membership, says the Spokes-
man-Review.
In the Pennsylvania district, So per
cent of the farmers had machines. In
portions of Kansas, South Dakota
and Colorado, 70 to 80 per cent of
the farmers reported owning automo-
biles.
sin the Palouse district of Wash
ington and Idaho, 86 per cent of the
farmers had cars" says the bulle-
tin. "The dry farming wheat dis
tricts are the only places where less
than half of the farmers owned auto
