S. Love, president of the Louisbnrg Female College and the diplomas presented to the class if The program for the "occasion is a most attractive one. The pubjic cordially invited to attend. A very impressive .ceremony . took place in the High School this morning at eleven o'clock when Mr. E. G. Flanagan, representing the Board of Education formally received in the High School. a class of sixty-four who tare just finished the grammar school. Tiis is the largest class ever admitted at any one time to the high school in the history of this institution. Mr. Flanagan made a most happy speech in receiving these sixty-four pupils he said : Toung Ladies and Gentlemen: ... 1 am pleased to have the opportun ity of making a few remarks to you this morning and I am also pleased to see what is Deing accompiisnea in out schools in Greenville. You are here this morning to receive a certi ficate of graduation from the -Grammar School. You have startej a' foun dation of inild in; order to continue your education through the High- School, but what ever that sacrifice may be, make up your minds you are ; going to meet it like a man or a woman. When you have reached the second story of your building, which : you have laid tht foundation for, you will ; then receive a certificate of graduation from the High School, anj' in my opinion, a High School education is an absolute necessity to success in this v day and time. . ' '''-"I -. - "1 J' ; You have completed your first task in the Educational line and when yon begin in the High ' School, don't let anything influence you not to finish. The day you complete the High School worfc, you place yourself in a position to stand alone, and not have to lean on someone else. A boy or a girl without a High School education is handicapped all his life. Don't let some one tempt you away from school by offering you, some little job that I will - pay you some smalt- amount of ' money, but stickto your work until you have finished yoar task. The man or woman who is always starting something and never! finishes his task never makes a success in life. Let this raiding character, ; honesty be jour motto : . Whitiey.bjr;l; v. Your foundation is , wHlFfinfefcancl 'iteSiM&i:ka ' level and today will receive from my hands a ' certificate of graduation for what you have accomplished. You have graduated from the Gram mar School, . and the next step . for yon to take is, to continue the build inj of this building and on the open4- ing of the next session of the High School, I trust that each and every one of you will be found occupying your place in the High School, which you have so deservedly won.

So start your task next September in this building, and remember your motto: "Whatever I begin, I will finish." TIED BY DISCOVERY Providence, R. I. How Virginia oystr-men profited by the discovery that green-gilled oysters which they had discarded as worthless were iden tical, with the famous ilarrennes grepn osters which are considered a great delicacy in France is one of the interesting .facts disclosed.; by Profes sor Philip H. Mitchell of 'Brown Uni versityin an informal resume of his researches in oyster culture. . . In the joint effort of the federal Bureau of Fisheries and the Rhode Island State Shellfish Commission to determine the causes jof a decline of the oyster industry and to devise rem edies the aid of Brown University was sought. Professor Mitchell has been observing the oysters of Narragansett Bay for five years partly while he was serving as director of the fedral fisheries biological station at Woods Hole, Massjy The explanation of "green-gill" in -oysters was ;one of the things which he sought and found. "Practically no part of the animal," said Professor Mitchell, "except the gills . shows any unusual color, and this is a pale greenish-gray. The, .con dition seldom appears--, in American oysters. Occasionally, however, spor adic outbursts lasting - one - or the :, Virginia to th.jv desvjptidpl; efthe if amousi'reeh , oysters of Marrennes pn,the coast of tance."t ' was able lo -sTiow tha?hey seasons ' appear.; among oysters. ..

He explained thaf all oysters feed on microscopic plants called diatoms and that they when a certain species of diatom is "abundant in the water the oysters he described as "extra fat and very luscious." Another problem attacked was the cause oi a bluishgreen color some times seen in oysters. This was. found to be due to the presence of copper which oysters absorb from seawater. Professor Mitchell said that amounts of copper small enough' to escape de tection were not dangerous to health and that discolored oysters never were marketed until after they had been transplanted to, a region where the ycouid slowly free themselves from the eopper. "If any one should attempt to eat them," he remarked, "he would probably never manage to swallof the first one.

SEARCHING FOR BERGDOLL Chicago.

Bergdoll escaped from two military guards May 21. ' (By Associated Press.) Cheyenne, Wytt. A woman Mayor, Mrs. Grace Miller, now rules in Jack son, the population center of the" Jackson's Hole country which long was famous' in fact and fiction as the resort of outlaws, cattle rustlers, horse thieves and other bad men of the west that once was. For what is said to be the first time in history, there is not a man in the city hall of an American municipalty ; for a' city administration composed entirely of women has been sworn into office "as a result of the election irrMay. There is not a man in Jackson's city hall. Jackson is a diminutive city with a population of notquite 300. Perhaps no other section of the United States is so far, isolated from the railroads and from all-year traffic The nearest railway station is 75 miles away, and from November until May the high way to that .station is virtually im passable. Surrounded by the high mountains in the range south of Yel lowstone National Park, the residents of Jacnson make little or not attempt to travel durinf the winter months. It was in Jackson's Hole that v the bad men made their last stand against the advancing wave of civilization 30 orv 40 yars ago. There they flocked aft,er stealing cattle or -horses ;or oth- ler robberies , orhold-ups and, banded ADMINISTRATION INDORSED Roswell, N. M. The Wilson admin istration, the league of nations and the policies of the Democratic party were indorsed at the state Demo cratic, convention here today in the keynote address of Senator A. A. Jones temporary 'chairman. Today Jackson, itself, - has surren dered to the feminist movement and made a clean sweep of every male officeholder. The only explanation thus far gien for the overturn comes from the editor of The Courier. the city's sole newspaper? who says in hi paper: "It is thought the novelty of being the first city on record tobe governed entirely- by- women helped them to secure such a complete vict ory. The editor who was, himself, a candidate, accepts the results without repining but says the women sur prised even themselves by the result. There was no unusual campaigning, no special issue at stake, nor was there an unusually heavy vote. Mrs. Miller defeated Fred Lovejoy for mayor by a vote of 56 to 28. Four women. were elected members of the city council over four men candidates by about the same relative vote. GARDNER 1KB DV T.JO TO ONE FOR GOVERNOR ACCOR TO THE POMEN BY G According to Mr "W.

Washington. With the conference reports, several important measures and a mass of routine legislation re maining in the Senate and" House af ter a long night session are making every effort today to finish their pro grams by Saturday, when the con gress adjourns.-. . . v COLORED SCHOOi . EXHIBIT STUDENTS IIP LES OF WORK The Brooks address, in so- far as fit referred to the senatorial race, was more than courteous toward Senator Overman it was good-humored often Jovjal. Mr. Overman so it was alleg ed, has in fact declared that he would ike to be succeeded by Mr. Brooks when he retires ; the only point of dif ference, therefor, lis in the fact that Mr. Brooks thinks Senator Overman should retire a little earlier than Mr. Overman deems proper a state ment of the case that tickled the crowd hugely. But the thing on which Mr. Brooks seriously basis his claim to considera tion at the hands of the voters of Alamance is the record of the lust 24 years, spent in fighting the battles ;f the Democratic party. Not since I SOS, when he first came to Alamance as a Democratic campaigner declared the speaker, has a Democratic chair- nan ever sent out a call for help that A. L. Brooks was too busy to hear. Nor will that record be broken his year regardless of how the cam- oaign lor tne senatorsnip comes one In the mater of readiness to answer It was the pleasure of a Daily News representative to pay a visit to the colored school yesterday which is pre sided over by principal C.
