MID TERM ORATIONS
Delivered by the Class of 08 at the
M JB Church Saturday
A large audience greeted the mem
bers of the eleventh grade of the
high
school Saturday night the occasion
being the delivery of the mid term
orations of the graduating class
Prof Watson opened the exercises
with a few remarks saying that the
patrons of the schools were invited to
atteud not for the entertainment they
would receive but for the encourage
ment their presence would give to the
members of the class The first num
ber was a quartet Side by Side by
Alma Carlson Edith Pettycrew Mabel
Towne and Tacy Collett
The first oration was by Tacy Col
lett on Led and Leading The
speaker asserted that we were all
either led or leading and in many
instances we were doing both and
pointed out the evils of leading in the
wrong path She said that the only
way we could control our influence
for good was by watching every word
and action and cited Christ as the ex
ample we should follow Edith Petty
crew followed with Life is what We
Make it and drew a picture of two
men looking upon a mountain range
in support of the proposition One
man was bright and cheerful and saw
the glories of the grand works of na
ture the other a gloomy person
could see nothing but the frowning
peaks and lowerng clouds This was
followed by the assertion that the
eye makes that upon which it looks
and the ear that which it hears As
instances of the truth of her subject
she cited the lives of Lincoln Pieice
Garfield and Franklin Walter Flow
ers came next talking upon Deliber
ate Slowly Execute Promptly and
handled his subject very creditably
On account of recent events perhaps
his illustrations were principally drawn
from the lives of great generals nota
bly Washington The latters sur
prise of the Hessians at Trenton be
ing an exceptionally good illustration
of the latter portion of his subject
Hannibal came in for much praise
and brought forth the assertion from
the speaker that he was the greatest
general that ever lived A trio and
quartette was given next
The debate Resolved That the 17
S Should Assist Cuba in Her Struggle
for Liberty was opened by Mabel
Towne who eloquently presented suf
fering Cubas claim upon the U S
and appealed to our citizens for aid be
cause it is their duty to humanity to
assist the right She also appealed to
us to save the property Americans
have invested in the Island Earl
Pettycrew talked from the opposite
side of the question and nobly upheld
the Monroe Doctrine which promis
ed the world that we would not inter
fere with the colonies of foreign
governments on this continent He
decried the assertion that our duty to
humanity bade us interfere and said
we should aeviate the suffering at
home ere going abroad and that we
should not plunge this government in-
to war which would cost billions in or
der to save a few dollars belonging to
our millionaires who have property in
Cuba Alma Carlson came last with
True Happiness the Result of Right
Living She contended that we
could not enjoy true happiness without
right living toward both God and man
we nromote our own happiness in
proportion as we contribute to the
happiness of others Conscience is
the truest guide to right liying but it
we neglect its voice in little things we
will soon become deaf to it altogether
A quartette Good Night to All
closed the exercises
To Prevent Blackleg
Blackleg is one of the worst diseases
stockmen have to contend against and
any remedy for the cure or prevention
of the ailment will be hailed with de
light To the best of our knowledge
no cure has ever been discovered but
below will be found a preventative
which is guaranteed to be almost cer
tain in its results
In one pint of turpentine dissolve
two ounces of corrosive sublimate
Let the mixture stand from twelve to
twenty four hours or until the sub
limate is thoroughly absorbed by the
turpentine In this soak strips of
buckskin about half and inch wide
I and six- or sev en inches long and use

these as a rowel or seton on the ani
mal This latter operation is perform
ed by running a knife through the
biisket and in the hole inserting one
of the buckskin thong tying it on the
under side to insure it against falling
out Care should b e taken to insert
the rowel well down on the brisket and
not in the skin alone or its efficiency
will be reduced If the rowel is used
according to directions the brisket at
1 the point of insertion will become sor
and remain so for six months
or a year and this soreness demon
strates the success of the operation
which partakes of nature of vaccina
tion in the genus homo
This remedy has been used for the
last seven or eight years by the Stead
man Bros and they attest that they

The farmers institute was opened
yesterday by Chairman Perkins at 10 SO

tertainingly and instructively on the

result greatly to their profit There
are two distinct types of cows said
the speaker the dairy cow and the
beef cow The common purpose
cow he said wa3 neither one nor the
otnpr lie was very particular to im
press upon those present the necessity
of proper feeding for either milk or
beef and explained how easy it was
to properly balance the rations of
the animal with the view to obtaining
the best results He also dwelt upon
the value of dairy and farm kookkeep
ing and declared that if the farmer
would keep his accounts as regularly
as the merchant or any other business
man his sons would not be so apt to
leave the farm our young men wish
intellectual employment and must of
necessity leave the farm to find it un
der the common system of farming
