'Vp nie proud of the largest class
ever (traduntcd from tlio Mcilford
liijrh school and proud of its history,"
mid V. Meldo Ilillis, superintendent
(if schools, in presenting the diplom
as to the graduating class at the com
mencement exercises held in the
crowded Page theater last night.
The stage presented a pretty scene
with the graduates seated behind a low
hedge of beautiful flowers, the gifts in
white and holding bouquets, and the
hoys garbed in black; with potted
palms here and there, and above them
all the huge lloral figures '17. An
julded touch of beauty was the red
"ov over all from the footlights, and
the junior class colors of blue and
white draped from the theater boxes
The fact ult y members were seated to
one side of the stage.
Throughout the theater was that
enticing floral fragrance adding al
ways to the general, uudefinublc com
mencement charm.
The Sluilciils Applauded.
The able address of D. W. Morton,
dean of the school of commerce of the
university of Oregon, on the subject
of educational preparedness was
greeted with warm applause. Super
intendent Ilillis presented the diplom
as in the absence of Dr. T. R. Seely
president uf the board of education,
who was unexpectedly called away
oa an urgent case.
As each grnduutc passed across the
stage to get his or her diploma when
called, the audience applauded. The
loudest and longest applause was
given by the democratic audience to
Yutaka Yamnslnta, the young Jup
i'Kfese graduate.
K delightful feature of the exer
cises was the several selections by
the high school orchestra and the
vocal solo by Miss Adele Brnult. The
invocation was given by Hcv. A. J. J.
Hogg and the benediction by liev. J.
Lawrence Hill.
In his address Dean Morton took
the stand that educational prepared
ness wei t hand in hand with military
preparedness and was almost as im
portant to the future welfare of the
nation. ' lie pointed out that Ameri
can brains invented the submarine,
that a Yankee produced the flying
machine; that the great guns used in
the present world war arc the pro
ducts of American ingenuity. Ho as
sorted that American bruins would
offset the destruetiveness of the sub
marine. Oregon's Ibipid frogress.
in general Dean Morton showed
that the level of education in this
country was not as high as was gen
erally thought, particularly in com
nriMu with foreign countries. He
railed attention, however, to the fact
ifr't Oregon was one of the leading
states educationally, having more
students per capita in the schools
of higher education than any other
state but one, and yet only 15 years
(ifo Oregon had approximately but
Imlf a dozen good high schools out
side of Portland. Now the graduates
"f about 200 high schools of the state
this year number 2.")00.
The speaker quoted a report show
in? that 800,000 workers of the Unit
ed Slates bad not even a common
sohool education, and that there were
"I'poxiimilely 20 millions of chil
(lr'n in the elementary schools, 1,
:ili(i,llllll in hijrli schools, while
there were but 1100,000 in the high
er schools and colleges out of n
population of 100,000,000.
Mr. Morton argued from this that
the nation wns ns bad off ediieu'.ion-
" defensively.
Xo rinco for I'nflt.
Every calling called for a tested
If", la said, and there were no places
l'T the unfit. Testing of men for
illness is an indication of what may
' expected in the future, and the
MiikjIs must fit and prepare men
"nil women to occupy positions intel
hmy in all walks' of life.
The rate of tirocress of the ediK nt-
P' in qualifying for fitness, he fur
tliP
r nr-ued, would be much more
"M'id than Hint of the uneduected,
6,"1 the more educated we arc ns a
nation the grenter the nation will be.

11 TRY JONES
FOR ASSAULT TO
C'OPKXIIAOKK, June 1. Prom an
article in the Vossisehe Zeitung of
Berlin it appears that Germany has
reconciled herself to the loss of Riuo
('how, her former Chinese possession
and the South Sen island colonies,
which were captured by Japanese.
Commenting on rumors regarding dif
ferences between Japan and Russia,
the r.ew?nn:icr declares Cevmnnv un
doubtedly is ready lo cede the lease
oi Kiao-i now in direct negotiations
with Japiui in return for repayment
of the millions, spent in making it
a German base in the east, and also
is willing to discuss the future dis
position of the South Sea colonies.
LONDON, June 1. Great Britain's
losses in cereal ships has been only
six per cent, according to a statement
mnde to the Associated Press today
by Kennedy Jones, director of food
economy. The ministry of food, he
added, had made allowances for the
loss of 25 per cent of this kind of
shipping.
V.
This evening Prank Jones, the man
who knocked Private Adam Qnrrcn of
I C'ompnny from the railroad bridge
at Graves creek lust week, will be
taken from the city prison and turned
over to Captain Todd of I Company,
who will send bun to Grants Pass
under military guard, where in turn
he will be given into tbo custody of
the sheriff of Josephine county and
locked up on the charge of assault
with intent to kill.
This course of procedure was rec
ommended by Colonel J. L. May of the
Third Oregon infantry, in u telegram
which Captain Todd received this
moiT-ng. The colonel further recom
mended that Captain Todd, who had
written him asking for advice ni to
course of procedure in the case, con
sult with the prosecuting attorney of
Josephine county as to the charge
nnd evidence against the prisoner.
Still Further Mystery. '
Further nrystcry is added to the
case by the fact that Sheriff Jen
nings, who captured the much- wanted
man at Steiuuian station in the Sis
kiyous has been unable to locate the
roll of blankets Jones was known to
have carried just before reaching
Steinmnn.
The prisoner refuses to tell where
he concealed his blankets and Sheriff
Jennings, who has failed to find them
after n diligent search, believes that
in the blanket roll are things which
the man wants to conceal from the
authorities.
The prisoner last night finally con
suited to ttive his name and tell
something about himself, altho not
much credence is placed in his story.
He describes himself as Frank
Jones, US years old, of Omaha, Neb.,
where his father is in the shot and
harness business at 411 Thomas
street. He says further that he left
Omaha last May and has been tramp
ing ever since looking fur work. This
morning he changed his story und
said that he left Oiaalui about six
months ago.
Knocked from Bridge.
The correct story of the happening
at the Graves creek bridge is that
Private (larren while patrolling the
bridge halted Jones and turned him
back as he was about to cross over.
The military orders are that no civil
pedestrian can cross the bridge ex
cept under escort of a military guard.
Sonic time later Garren wns reliev
ed by another guard and seeing Jones
approach, and being off duty, volun
teered to escort him across the hi id.
As the two were walking along Jones
without n word of warning knocked
Garren from the bridge. Garren fell
ilil feet and sustained compound
fractures of both legs above the knee.
It happened so sudden that about
all Garren knew was that Jones hurl
ed him from the bridge, but from the
fact that his jaw has been very sore
ever since it is thought that Jones
knocked him from the structure by
striking him on the jaw.

How
a groom
made Biscuits
I had tried biscuits
before (when a Kan
sas farm cook quit)
and failed. But that
is another story.
The other day I
asked my wife to make
sour-milk biscuits.
But she didn't know
how. (She's a bride!)
Man-like, I said, "I'll
show you." I prom
ised her real biscuits
with a c risp crust.
I took the apron off
the cupboard hook
(Report No. ii) By himself
and started. My wife
looked on. (I knew
what she was hoping.)
The directions said, "Take
one-third less of Cottolene
than of butter." I did. I
found that Cottolene mixed
in with the flour very quickly.
When the dough was ready,
in my clumsy way, I rolled it,
part thick and part thin. For
my wife likes her biscuits
thick. I like mine thin with
a lot of crust and crisp! ,
The oven was hot. But
I shivered near it for 20 min
utes waiting. My reputa
tion hung on crisp crust.
I am still the head of the
family. Lucky for me, those
were real biscuits. The
crust was really crisp. The
inside was flaky.
The Cottolene advertising
said, "Cottolene makes li(;ht
biscuits with a crisp crust."
It did and made a repuia
. tion for me in the bargain.
