It described Ethel Harris as a writer, Mabel Manning as witty, Elsie Hobbs as musical, Grace Hodge as a deep thinker, Bessie Houck as studious and true, Mattie Patty as so ber, thoughtful and prudent, Ambia Daniels as tbe Iowa girl who argues well and holds out, Mollie Patty and Maud Hobbs as singers and jolly, Helen Weed and Mabel Neal as possessing application to books, Glen Henderson as a geologist, Paul Cooper as missed but proudly stand ing by tbe stars and stripes. It contained a tribute to the teachers and asked all friends to lend a helping hand. Helen E. Weed’s subject was “Read ing.” Readiug should be selected with regard to what and how. Some books are to he tasted, some swallowed and some chewed and digested. The public ys only a grown up child—all want to be told a story. Indiscriminate read ing is demoralizing and destroys tbe taste for that more helpful, and amusement should not be the only object in reading. Miss Weed got tbe biggest and grandest bouquet of the eveuiug as she sat down. She was also winner of the college schol arship by a grade of 93^. Eberhard was second, grading 90J^, and winning a gold medal, and Misses Maud Hobbs and Grace Hodge wore close after him. Mr. Griesen gave a violin solo, with that soulfulnees so characteristic of tbe Germans. A red rose was thrown at him at the close of his playing. "Fin the “Value of Time” Maud Hobbs said it was more than money—it is life. Only the sluggard lacks time to accom plish great works, and he does not live in the true seuse of the word. “Patriotism” was Mabel Neal’s subject. True patriotism characterizes all good citizens, and tbeir country’s history should be tbeir admiration. Men love tbeir homes for the same reasou that a wild animal loves his lair. The Spartans conquered or died. Tbe pages of history are filled with such examples. America brought forth a Dew patriotism in Wash ington, who became its great apostle Grant stood for a later era. Our inheri tance is a valuable one, and let us not al low this fair land to lie other than our forefathers intended it to be. On the subject of politeness Grace Hodge thought it was becoming one of the lost arts. Chesterfield said: "Oil your mind and manners for the world.” To be of value good manners must be from the heart. Tbe essence of courtesy consists in thinking of others instead of self. Ethel Harris prophesied for her class mates as follows: Grace Hodge became a mathematician ; Glen Henderson gained wealth in business; Elsie Hobbs toured France and Italy; Colon Eberhard be came an editor; likewise Bessie Houck; Ambia Daniels got married and made home her heart’s jewel; Mabel Manning became a missionary in Terra del Fuego; Helen Weed became a lecturer on woman’s rights; Mabel Neal succeeded Miss Willard in the W. C. T. U.; Maud Hobbs and Mollie Patty attained emi nence in music; Mattie Patty became the reigning belle of New York; Paul Cooper, a soldier brave and true, re turned home wearing a colonel’s uni form. The prophecy was greeted with loud applause. The class song was well sung. The place of the valedictory was made a touch ing memory of Paul B. Cooper. His va cant chair, in the center, draped in the national colors, was reverently faced by the class while the pianist played the “Star Spangled Banner.” Each gradu ate brought a bouquet for the absen1 classmate. Prof. J. H. Ackerman gave an address to the class, good enough in its makeup, but entirely too long in view of the hour, a very common error on such occasions. J. P. Irvine, as chairman of the school board, fairly excelled himself in present ing the diplomas, his friends not remem bering that he ever did so well before. Prof. Reynolds announced the award of the prizes, and Judge Magers represent ed the college in tbe matter of annually offering scholarships. The display of flowers was unusually beautiful, the arrangement into unique designs being more general this year than ever before. Under the sublime truism, “He has failed who has not striven,” the faithful students of the high school reached the first important goal in acquiring their education, last Wednesday evening, June 1st, and environed by floral offerings as tine as the world produces, each appeared and publicly presented a well prepared paper. The class marched to their places on tbe stage to the strains of music rendered by Miss Josie Gortner, pianist of the evening. Principal Reynolds offered a Ary sen sible and earnest invocation for divine favor. Miss Annie Nichol pleased the audience with a song. There were three especially commend able features : The program was followed without announcement; tbe essays were all short; the exercises began on time. Bessie L. Houck was salutatorian, and her subject was “Rely on Thyself.” She extended a hearty welcome on behalf of the class, describing the exercises as “old yet ever new.” Emerson had said “Trust thyself and accept the place divine prov idence has found for you.” Her advice was to build aud live from within. Christ and Columbus were misunderstood, and to be great is to be misunderstood. She urged the class to aim high, and even if disappointed, it should not be considered a failure. There is glory undimmed at at the top, Glen Henderson treated of "Physiog raphy” and frankly admitted be couldn’t tell all there was on tbe subject. He gave an outline of the effects of the forces of nature on tbe earth, and in it all saw the band of tbe master sculptor. Mabel M. Manning spoke of will power and strength. The power of will is the central power of man. All great men such as Julius Ciesar and llannibal, were remarkable for tbeir energy of will. Such power is necessary now more than ever, in tbe contests for power and place. No human being who halts can be great. Ciesar in crossing tbe Rubicon and Washington in crossing the Delaware had fixed their gaze far beyond immedi ate obstacles, and had the energy of will to reach tbe end attained. Some men have a normal will and no energy, and some have ull will and no judgment. The will is the root, knowledge tbe stem and feeling tbe fruit. The Misses Patty and Hobbs sang ‘‘The Wreck of the Maine,” which was highly appreciated. “Live Within yonr Means,” was the sensible subject treated by Mattie V. Patty. It did not mean that a man should not go in debt; he lives beyond his means who Bpends more than he makes; who borrows upon the strength of what he expects to make next week, month or year. The love of dress should be controlled by an honest judgment. “It is the eyes of others that cost us so much.” He who borrows that which he cannot repay is a dishonest man. The habit of extravagance increases with age, like other bad habits. To such a man "there will come a time some day” when every rap at the door has a terror, lest some unpaid bill is to be presented. Elsie C. Hobbs spoke on the “Beauty of Nature.” Art is an imitation, and the best art is nearest to nature. Her de scription of Oregon’s grand scenery showed her to be a true native of our grand state with a just appreciation of its beauties. Like Beecher, she thought flowers the sweetest things God forgot to put a soul into. The greatness of nature reveals the insignificance of man and the ! power and love of the creator. Mollie I. Patty spoke on “True Felic ity.” It was to dwell above hate. Man kind will only advance to its ultimate development of perfection in proportion ’as it raises above strife and passion and dwells iu the serene air of harmonies. We make our felicity, not by ambitious desire for fame, but by obeying the com mandment that we love one another. This was one of the best papers of the evening, in its noble advice against selfishness and overweening ambition, An example is given by Spain, a once mighty nation, who owned tbe greater part of America, because she was mocked by ambition, stands today almost power To Cure a Cold In One Day less, owns only Cuba, which will soon be Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. set free.

The basket social and entertainment at No. 8 school house Saturday evening was largely attended by an orderly and appreciative audience from North Yam hill, McMinnville and surrounding coun try. A one act farce by the Yamhill dra matic club was carried oil’ in a creditable manner, by the young people of the club. Miss Versa Keene excelled her self as “Tbe widderfrom Grass Holler.” The entire class did splendidly for ama teurs, and if their names were known, each should have special mention. “Hick’ry Farm” was next presented by the following cast: Zeke Fortune................ J esse H endbsson Uriah Skinner..................... Bert Loban Gilbert Darkw ood................ Harry- Sharp Larry McKeegan ................ Alva Gilliam Jack Nelson. . Hugh Shelly Detective Rankin ........ Wm.Wess Constable........................... Ford Wheeler Jessie Fortune ........ Miss Minnie Sitton Mrs. Priscilla Dodge.............. Mrs Wess Jesse Henderson as Zeke Fortune played like a professional, and any one who saw him as Billy in “The Deacon,” would have been surprised at tbe change. Bert Loban as Skinner, the unlucky farmer and tool of tbe villian, carried out bis part with credit to himself. Gilbert Darkwood, tbe villain, by Har ry Sharp was acted true to nature and showed ability few can have. Larry McKeegan, “the happy go lucky Irishman from the twelfth ward," was tbe feature of the evening and caused many a laugh. His playing places Mr. Gilliam at the head of amateur Irish comedy. Jack Nelson, the unhappy lover of Jes sie Fortune, was played well by Hugh Shelly, and won for him great praise. Detective Rankin, by Mr. Wess, was short but to the point. Ferd Wbeeler, as constable, had noth ing to say, but be looked fine iu bis make-up. Miss Minnie Sitton as Jessie was a very heavy part and was carried out with cred it, as it was her first attempt at amateur work. Priscilla, the widder, by Mrs. Wess, was performed in a creditable manner and showed how a woman could catch a husband. She bad had three, and was good for three more. The rehearsal of the play was given plenty of time and attention under tbe direction of Grant Eberle, whose well- known ability is rarely excelled outside of the ranks of the profession. The com bined efforts of the manager and partici pants ensured a most successful enter tainment, and the small admission charged netted the district over $17, which is to be ex|>ended in repainting the school house. Annual Commencement Concert. Saturday, June 11th, Edward B. Fleck, pianist, late of Leipsic, Germany, will give a concert at the college hall. Fol lowing are a few of Mr. Fleck’s press notices; “In the Ballade of Chopin Mr. Fleck displayed a faultless technique, a highly dramatic interpretation.”—Staats Zei tung. “Mr. Fleck is a sterling artist.”— New York MorniDg Journal. "The piano numbers of Mr. Fleck show him to be an artist of exceptionally high ability.”—New York Herald. “Herr Fleck as an artist is probably without an equal in Oregon.”—Capital Journal, Salem. Mr P. Ketcham of Pike City, Cal., says: "During my brother’s late sickness from sciatic rheumatism, Chamberlain’s Pain Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief.” Many others have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords.
