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 : turn again at some futureLime on a similar ocassi0n. + The following young people graduated from the eighth grade last Friday evening: Helen Temple, Ber- nard Flake, Blanche Mumm, Charles: Holyoke, Robert Musser, Celest Baumer, Delores Storm, Verne Guern- sey, Marian Barcu,/Mabel Shellady, Angelina Cirillla, Robert atthes Alfre& Harty  Floyd Hirt, Velma Cur- rens, Roy Forbes, Leland Watson, William PSsrson and Harold Kral.

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. , coA::ly s 2 eP:d P: ctt h e2rda°l t hr, t |lr ¢ae/l #tlt= *{'tgtlt tpaving in this sectibn for some time tvu, rv*+ m ,ff 1111;(11|;3 ito coine, It may be in the coming . et: iue:uYt; afOytgnateelnrO;agint: Itichard Bake.. has started working t Henry G.

Her aunt, +a sister to William Eden, has been the Griffin house this week and have started painting the Frank Menzer residence. There were plenty of dane-s in town last week; we understand there were two here Saturday eve- ning. It is reported that a field of corn be- longing to Peter Benson was so badly rozen the first of the week that it is necessary for him to plant it all over. Mr. and Mrs. William Shebanek are the proud parents of a baby girl born on Tuesd+ay of this week in Mercy hospital. Grandma Attig is as proud as you can imagine. Jas. K.

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. The following officers and com- mittees will ha0ve charge of the day' activities.

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.
