lay down this pen which has for
the past year created my weekly

its Sweet side, for no longer must
I slave hours to put before the stu

citizens of Libby, articles worthy Of
the high principles and standards
which have come to portray the

proven satisfactory to you through
out the past year to younger editor

Commencement Address

The commencement address de-
hvered by DR.. Klemme, former
Montana educator and minister of
Montana for 20 years and now at
Carlton College in Minnesota, was
attentively enjoyed by the largest
crowd yet to attend a school COM
mencement at Lincoln High. DR..
Klemme called attention to the diff
ference in meaning and values OF
morals and mortality in individuals
and nations. He brought out the
sin of war and its effect upon the
morality Of a people. He also
pictured the utter futility of war
as exemplified by the World War
which was fought to make the world
safe for democracy and democracy
is the one thing that since then has
not been safe while this was war
to end war and there have been
wars continually since then. The
question of future wars are in the
hands OF the youth of today. The
past generation has failed. TO you

Secret OF Sponrc's Value

The secret OF the sponge's COM
mercial value is that its fibers grow
soft In water without losing their
toughness. More resilient than rub
Der, they withstand an unbelievable
amount of squeezing without losing
their shapes. The skeletons absorb
water by capillary attraction, or the
apparent attraction or repulsion be-
tween liquids and solids.

north, according to DR.. Jehle. Ger
titled home grown stock will be just
as healthy and resistant to disease
and will be of just as good quality
as that from other states and will, in
addition, be acclaimed to Maryland
conditions.
When late home grown Irish Cob
bier seed stock is to be used for plant
ing the early crop, it should be kept
at a temperature of approximately
forty degrees Fahrenheit until about
the middle of January and then kept
at a temperature of approximately
sixty degrees Fahrenheit until it is
planted. When Maryland late grown
certified Irish Cobbler seed potatoes
are treated in this way, they can be
expected to give just as satisfactory
results as any certified northern
grown seed stock on the market, it is
by DR.. Jehle.
