Sin essence, the IVA is specific

"There are areas of activity in which
the full benefits can be achieved only
through the federal exploitation of

true in the development of such a

development of the Missouri and the
Ohio, the great Mississippi itself, and
other valleys east of the Alleghenies
and west of the Rockies. Achievement
of some of the major benefits, such
as provision of navigable channel
and control of destructive flood wa

private enterprise because these &C.

Assigned To District

State highway director Perry T.
Ford announced today assignment of
% new state highway patrolmen who
graduated from the first postwar
Highway Patrol school during brief
exercises at the school on u. S.

The state hopes to bring the Pat
rol to 400 patrolmen as quickly as
the new men can be trained.
Several returning veterans from
Noble county have expressed their
desire to join the State highway pat
rol but all of them have either
flunked their physical or failed to
pull through on the mental examin-
alton. The state patrol is tough as
signment and the requirements are
set up with this in mind.
The Cambridge district of which
Noble county is a part, will receive

Senior Class Play
Selected For Caldwell

"Your Town And Mine" is the
title an unusual three-act drama,
which will be produced by the Cald-
we'll High School Senior Glass in the
school auditorium on the evening of
May II, under the direction of By
ron Steen. The plot of "Your Town
And Nine concerns a beloved pas
tor, whose son is in love with the
daughter of the wealthiest woman
in the church-a woman who likes
to dominate every situation, and
disapproves of her daughters choice.
In order to try to get the minister's
son out of town, this woman de-
mands that the board ask for the
pastors resignation, forgetting that
the congregation may wish to keep
him.
The thing that maker "Your Town
And Mine" different from almost
every other modern play is the novel
last act, in which the people in the
audience become a definite part of
the proceedings.

Farmer Profits
From Strip Mining

Six hundred acres of reclaimed
land from strip coal mines are prov
ing a financial bonanza for Byron
Somers of Canton, Fulton county
farmer.
Somers received one of the high
est prices paid yesterday at the
stock yards for a load of top quality
Hereford steers which had grown
and fattened on the abandoned land.
The steers averaged 1900 pounds
each and brought $3.50 per hun
dredweight.
Somers purchased 600 acres of the
raw and torn land in 1888 and prom
pity seeded it in blue grass, clover,
alfalfa, and other pasture grasses.
He then bought feeder calves and
turned them out to pasture onto the
grasses which had flourished. The
steers he sold yesterday were bought
in September, 1914, averaged 515
pounds each, and were allowed to
roam the pastures until they had size
and good bone growth. Then they
were fed for three months on corn,
hay, and a supplement until they
reached the finish which brought
the high price yesterday.
Last year Somers sold $4,000
worth of cattle and hogs from his
reclaimed land. He paid in the be-
ginning, $500 an acre for the ground
and now claims that each acre is
giving him a yearly net profit of
$500 He plans to continue purchas-
ing land from the mines after the
coal has been exhausted.

Caldwell High School Will
Graduate % Seniors On May 2e
For Smallest Class I'm Years

One of the smallest senior classes
in the history of Caldwell high
school will do the honors Wednesday
evening, May %, when commence
ment exercises are held for 20 men,
bers. A list of prospective grad
yates was released today by super
intendent Dwain Dyer and principal
Gilbert Weekley.
Mr.. Weekley pointed out that the
list as given could not be considered
absolutely correct for there always
exists the possibility that some of
the seniors, borderline cases, will
not pull through. The present junior
class is also small but from there
on down through the grades, the
classes are numbering around 40 and
over.
The annual junior senior banquet
has been tentatively scheduled for
May 4, and the senior class play will
be presented on May IT. Baccalaur-
ate services will be held on Sunday
final examinations on May 27 and
the commencement exercise on May
20.
For the first time in the history
of the school, a veteran will be a.
mong the graduating class. Fred Fox
of the Fulda community will receive
his diploma with the 1916 gradual
ing class although he is now fur
thering his college education at Ohio
University, Athens. Fox attended
Fulda high school but did not have
the necessary credits to graduate,
needing one year of American his
tory and three years of English. AS
a matter of fact, every veteran must
have these requirements before he
can benefit under the G. |. Bill of
Rights. Through the efforts of the
local high school officials, Fox will
receive his diploma by proxy, which
enabled him to continue his course
of study at Ohio University.
The graduating class is composed
of the following prospective mem
bers:
Nancy Jane Farmhouse, 834 Wal
nut street, Caldwell; Roberta Fran
ces Bond, Caldwell, route 6; Janice
Marilyn Brown, 6O2 West street
Caldwell; Ruth Eloise Brown, Dex
