JOLIET HI SCHOOL
Will GRADUATE
ELEVEN MAY 20

No truer sentiment ever fount
utterance from a true American
than that proclaimed by Lowell
when he said:
What made our Revolusion a
foregone conclusion was the act of
the General Court, passed in MAY,
l647, which established the system
of public schools"
Ii, then, our common school svs-
TEN is father of our liberty, what
more natural than that pride and
loyalty be entertained for it in the
hearts of our people? This senti-
ment finds occasional outward
manifestation, as on the celehra-
ton of Washington's and Lincoln $
birthdays, Arbor day and other
chosen special holidays during the
school year, but its chief interest
has come to be conferred around
Commencement" or the exercises
attending the closing week off tie
school year and the graduation Of
its senior class.
On this occasion may be noted
a demonstration equal to the depth
of feeling entertained in our
hearts for this, the greatest of
American institutions.
Following out that sentiment the
annual commencement
exercises of the Joliet High Sch
DOL will be held at the Christian
Church at that little city on We'd
nesday evening, May 10th. The
graduating class, which is one of
the best in the history of the
school, is composed this year of
the following young men and wo-
men: Clayton Smith, Marjorie |
yhristopherson, Berniece Kenyon,
Walter Embry, Hedio Hashisaki, |
Frank Christopherson, Virginia
Mackey, Fritz Christopherson, Ed
IA Grewell, Hugh Clements, and

That is sound, but to fight crime
you would have to fight the bootleg

cost more votes than it would
bring.

Com menting on his work the September issue of the Popular Science magazine which also shows one of his typed pictures, says:
 Making pictures with his type writer is the unusual hobby of Charles H. Young of Ketchikan. Alaska. His tool is a stock model of a machine with several fonts ol type, intended for technical writ ing. Young's work combines in genuity at using these characters with his skill as an artist Marine scenes are his favorites. A sea gull is represented by a pair of pa- rentheses and rows of periods make the portholes of a ship. The ac- ccmpanying picture shows the liner California entering harbor, and was typed by Young upon a piece of satin ribbon. For other designs he uses sheets of ordinary paper, up to eight by eleven inches. He makes no outlines to guide him, and each line in the picture is made with the typewriter.

Jekill Prospects
 Cassiar Lode Areas

Stanley Jekill, Van Fisk and Harry Evans returned Friday on the Hazel B No. from the Cassiar where they have spent the season with D. L. Wing in developing his placer properties on Quartz Creek.
 During the summer Jekill, who has had 12 years experience in prospecting and development work in the Iskut and Stikine areas, made several trips into the surrounding mountains of the Wing properties and brought out some very promis- ing specimens of gold bearing quartz for assay.
 Mining and prospecting from the head of Dease Lake, has been con fined to placer ground since the early '70's when a number of for tunes were taken out in placer. The ground was left practically idle up to a few years ago when hydraulic operations were started.
 This season has shown renewed interest in lode prospects and ac- cording to Jekill, it seems more than probable that future opera tions in that district will include lode development as we'll as placer.
