EIGHT STUDENTS SEWARD SCHOOL
 GIVEN DIPLOMAS
VALEDICTORIAN, KATHERINE HORTON, DELIVERED A
 SPLENDID SPEECH

lIc ldISCSC OCWdAu 111SI1 OCIlOO1 graduating class and the second class to be graduated in the newly constructed William H. Seward School were the hieroglyphics re- corded in the Book of Time in Seward Thursday night in the Sew ard School Auditorium at the an- nual commencement exercises.
 A goodly representation of the people of Seward, friends, parents and schooln1ates of the eight graduates of the Senior class of 1891, were present.
 When the professional march, played by Mrs. Harold Sogn, on the piano, and Mir. John Hawkins, on the violin, was begun, the eight graduates followed by the mem bers of the school board and the principal speakers were escorted to the stage by Norman Nilsin, president of the Junior class.
 The stage was decorated in blue and white with an overhead arch bearing the number "31" in gold. The Rev. MT. c. T. Hatten gave the invocation, which was followed by a beautiful song number by Mary Ella Larson, one of the graduates. Mary Ella Larson was accompanied by Mrs. A. s. An- derson on the piano.
 To Katherine Horton was given the honor of being the Valedic- torian and in her valedictory ad- dress she spoke of the students life, that of moving closer to window. In high school the Fresh men are seated farthest from the window and as they advance in schooling they advance closer to the windows until when they are Seniors it seems that they are getting right next to them-they are getting closer to the windows as they get broader, more clear scope of life. However, at grad uation, Miss Horton said, the Win- dows are still far away and high and they will but get closer to them as they go on in life and learn to perceive things more clearly.
 All eight members of the grad uating class have learned of the spirit of cooperation, and the need of depending on the rest of hu- manity during the course of their education in the Seward schools through the sports, the bake sales, the school paper-the Folly, and many other things They have learned a part that responsibility and self-confidence has to play in life
 This, she said, is further demon strated to members of the grad uating class through outside in- fluences LII through the community of Seward-and during the course of their education the graduating class has seen the people in this city secure breakwater, an up-to- date school building, an airplane landing field, and many other things.
 In conclusion, sjeaking for the

BANKERS URGE
CUT IN WAGES
Missouri Session Has
Report on Wide Slash

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo, May
THE committee on Sterilization
q The Missouri Bankers Association
i session here today reported that
a movement looking toward the re-
uction of the hourly wages paid in
industry" is becoming widespread
md is justified because cit stands to
~eason that industry can not con-
tinue to pay the old scale of wages if
it cannot sell its products in volume
and at the old prices
The bankers never for moment
considered the possibility that the
owners of industry, including bank
ers, might take little less profit in
stead of trying to make workers
stand the whole burden of the crisis.
"Some appearance of justifica-
ton for the charge that bankers
are fostering the movement is
found in the expressions of several
leading bankers that wage reduc-
tons offer the only way out of the
present difficult situation" the re-
port states. "These expressed views,
however, are the personal views of
individuals"

TO CONSCRIPT
100000 IN
COMING WAR
Spend $3,OOO,OOO for
Air War Maneuvers
in Dayton, Ohio

WASHINGTON, May IA. - Plans
are completed for conscripting A.
100000 American workers for the next
war in the interest of Wall Street.
These facts were brought out in the
testimony of General Douglas Mac
Arthur, Chief of Staff, test:fying be-
fore the War Policies Commission
yesterday.
The War Policies Commission,
headed by Secretary Hurley, and COM
posed of cabinet members, senators
and congressman, is planning for the
coming imperiaist war under the pre-
text of studying the question of pro
fits in war"
General Macarthur outlined a plan
for immediate mobilization of l1.000,-
900 men out of which 1000 would
be put under arms for the imperial
lists and other millions would be driv-
EN- into the factories as slave labor
to produce munitions of war.
In making public this consumption
plan, General Macarthur said it had
heretofore been secret but since war
preparations are becoming a matter
of more Importance every day he
wanted the public confidence in
getting ready for the. coming war.
At the same time Hoover who Wells

penditures of $3,0o0,000 for an air

"Going To Help Ourselves"
Say Starving Harlan Miners

HARLAN. KY, May 14-"If we
can't get help from anyone we arc
goi gnto help ourselves" declared the
starving miners of Harlan County
yesterday, as they held meetings I'M
der the guns of the state militia and
the armed mine guards.
There are 10000 miners mere. Thou
sands are locke dout or striking be-
cause of the determination of the
mine operators to enforce the yellow
dog contract on them, to SPINDLE
them with short weight at the tipple
to allow them only two or three days
work week. and to cut wages and
speed up the men at work and to
lengthen the hours.
The explicit declaration that the
miners would refuse OF starve came
from William Hightower, president
OF the Evarts Local of the United
Mine Workers. The distdict officials
and Lewis office have done nothing
for the miners here. and district
officials agreed with Governor Samp-
son to send in troops, telling the
I'''~erT that the troops would dis
arm the mine company gunner,
with whom the miners have fought
pitched battles with a loss of five
lives during the last month.
Hightower, and other local officers
have to voice the resentment of the
men or they will be ousted.
Gov. Elem ID. Sampson has vio-
lated his promises In every respect,
the national guard has sided with
the operators in this fight and des-
titute men have received no aid
from the Rcd Cross" Higbtower
declared.

lilies starve." he said. we ioic our
wives and children just as much as
