COMMENCEMENT PROGRAMS
WERE ESPECIALLY FINE
The class day activities which were
held on Thursday evening of last
week were well received by a crowded
house and all in attendance were en-
thusiastic in their applause and ap-
preciation of the young people's
efforts and accomplishmentfi. Each
member who had a part in the eve-
nings entertainment performed well
and was well received.
On Friday evening the usual Com-
mencement Program was held. Supt.
W. N. Leeper was down from Iowa
City as was also former State Supt.
McClenahan, who is now located in
I0wa City. The eighth grade pupils
were given their diplomas after which
the seniors of the high school received
theirs from the hands of the presi-
dent of the school board.
The Speaker of the evening, Prof.
Taeusch of the State University of
Iowa, proved a very interesting enter-
tainer and was well received by -all.
Although this is his first appearance
in Ione Tree, it is quite probable that
an effort will be made to have hint :

similar ocassi0n. +

COURTESY CAMPAIGN.
The Rock Island Lines have insti-
courtesy" among tt.q r enl)loycs
tuted a "campaign of telephone
throughout the Middle +v'est with the
view of demonstrating to the travel-
ing and shipping public that this rail-
road's reputation for courtesy and
eciency is an active force. As part of
this campaign, several housaud
"flags" have been printed for attach-
ment to the telephone mouthpiece
containing this message:
"REMEMBER--W'hen using thin
telephone, that you have an oppor-
tunity to increase the reputation of
our railroad for courtesy and effic-
iency. To the party at the other end
of the line, YOU are the Rock Island
railroad."
The campaign is being carried on
under the direction of the Depart-
ment of Personnel and Public Rein-
[ tons.
NO CHANGE FOR ROAD 7
SAYS HIGHWAY COMMISSION
As was announced in our columns a
couple of weeks ago, a meeting wa
held in Ames some time ago for the
purpose of hearing arguments for and
against the advisabllty of changing
Primary road No. 7 from the upper
Muscatlne road between Iowa City
and "West Liberty to the lower Mus-
ratine road. After the meeting was ad-
journed the state highway commission
deliberated upon it at their leisure
and finnally handed down a decision
in favor of the Upper road over which
No. 7 now passes.

l Memorial Day wilt be fittingly cele-
brated on Saturday of this week with
a program in the city park, as has
been the custom for the past years.
The line of march will form at the
school house and at 9:15 a. m. te pro-
cession will march from this place to
the city'park where the program
proper will be hehl. Immediatel fol-
lowing the program, all will repair to
the cemetery. Instead of passing to
each grave and decorating each grave
as has been the custom in the past,
it has been deemed best by those in
charge to assemble all organizations
in one section of the cemetery, where
the firing squad and the Legion witI
form a hollow square" and where the
other organizations and school chil-
dren and others in attendance will
ch)se in and where the names of the
Civil War veterans, Spanish Ameri-
can vets and "World War veterans will
be read and where a volley will be fir-
ed to commemorate those fallen in i
each war. Following this, the school
children will decorate the graves of
the fallen heroes.
This plan will speed up the service
at the cemetery and will allow more
time for observances at the Nichols
and River Junction cemeteries. In .,.:"
the afternoon the Legion squad wilt :
go to Conesville. so the day will be
very full for them as it is.

RAILWAY CROSSING BEING
REPAIRED THIS WEEK
For the past cuple of years th
railway crossing which is on DeVoe
street has been in very bad condition
and automobiles haw been bumping
i( week in and week out. Dur-
over
ing the past week, however, a great
charge has been made. First of all,
.many loads of dirt were hauled nortl
of the track to fill in. Later the sec-
tion crews from Ine Tree, Nlchol
and Riverside got busy and raised the
tract there to the extent of about 18
inches at the crossing," And now, they
are expecting to place a car load of
cinders north of the track and to
cover this with dirt, so that the road
will be as smooth and level
thorougllfare.,
as any. '
