The class of 1915 was the largest in the history of the school, comprising sixteen mem bers, eight young ladies and eight boys. Following were the graduates: Miss Rena M. Gannon, Miss Blanche E. Gannon, Miss Harriett J. Robert son, Miss Mayme W. Stine, Miss Alma C. Lundberg, Miss Ethel B. Satrang, Miss Margaret C. Dorsey, Miss Jennie C. Adams, Donald F. Gallagher, Ray mond J.

Last Friday morning Mr. Metcalf, who resides on the Trussell ranch southeast of here in McClure township, found an old gentleman sitting on his porch when he arose in the morning. He took the old gentleman in, gave him something to eat and some dry clothing and finding the old gentle man to be demented brought him to this city Saturday morning and turned him over to Sheriff Grady and he is now confined in the county jail. The old gentleman is about sixty years iold. He says his name is Robert Don nell and the name on his underclothing is “R. L. Donnell” and “R. L. Donnall.” Mo caxrc Ko fnrtworlv litrorl in Pittsburg, Pa., and that he has several million dollars invested in railroad property in that city and vicintiy. He says that he was at Bloomfield, Neb., the day it snowed two weeks ago and that he has been walking since. Sheriff Grady is attempting to locate some one who knows something about the old gentleman as he is of the opinion that he has escaped from some asylum or poor farm not far away. He had about $4.00 on his person when picked up. He does not have a very good opinion of old-time newspaper men as he says he had 400 of them working for him at one time and that they stole 1200 head of cattle from him. The Cattle Situation. The scare which cattle breeders have just passed through on account of the foot and mouth disease result ed in a general unloading in affected districts, causing lower prices than was warranted from present supply. The after effects will be felt in a higher price for all kinds of cattle and it is ■ not at all unlikely that 10 cent steers ' will be seen on the market within a l very short period of time.

The dried out pastures of July and August used to cause considearable anxiety to farmers. In the days before alfalfa was so generally raised it was advisable for cattle raisers to grow a summer forage, usually sorghums or millets. Some farmers still follow this practice in Nebraska, which is highly commended to tide over and keep growing the live stock on the farm through this period when the growth of grasses are retarded. For age crops are hard on the land but barnyard manure will cause quick re cuperation of Nebraska soil.
