NOBGtiY can have too maul war saving slumps. This is good planting weaihcr. Let's plant ihe Kaiser. WHOM ihe gods would destroy they first inflaie wiih kuliure. Turkey had better keep out of war wiih us. Just think of Thanks giving Day. Germany seems id have the choice between ihe pun-german party and revolution. "He makes $5,000 a year as an aviator." And yet people say they can t live on air. VI'hat has become of that whale meal and ihe shark leather that w ere lo help us enioy ihe war ? It is evident thai when planning his spring drive the Kaiser didn't figure on ihe velocity ul ihe buuuce. A girl can never understand why a mat! persists in staying in the bachelor class after having mei her. U ha I has become of the old fashioned statesman, alias Trotky, who was going io regenerate Russia. li ;:i since me women began io vote ihe political forecasters have dropped all reference u "the si leni vote.

Uhile possession of a Liberty Bond is us own sufficient reward, the lack of one may indicate a crooked heari. Mr. Koma.noi, formerly ihe Czar of Russia, moves as often as do some apartment dwellers in American cities. FOR sonic reason the Kaiser for got io announce lhat ihe British sea raid on Zeebrugge was a great German victory. b.NCLA.NU is lo put 1,000,000 acres in poiaioes this year.

All the young people did well, Misses Daniel and Shaw especially receiving much praise. William j Johnston, in his unique speech and delivery, almost took the audience by siorm. Supt. Allen, in introducing the class, mentioned Ihe fact thai it was a close race for the honors of ihe class between Misses Shaw and Daniel, the former winning the first place by a small fraction only. He also stated that, in the thirteen years of the life of the school, there had been forty-six graduates of the school, tweniy-nine of whom had re ceived diplomas under his administration. Hon. W. E. Daniel, chairman of the Board of Trustees, in chosen words, delivered the diplomas. Supt.
