Are Your Eyes Bad?
Dr. M. F. Stein the famous Eye Speciaist
Will cure you. Many people become all but totally blind and at
an early age, simply because they pay no attention to their eyes. They notice
a dimness and soreness after reading a while and when a miserable headache
comes to them they ascribe it to any cause but the right one. and take a pill.
The real cause of their misery is that their eyes are weak and every lime they
road or write means and added strain, and their eyes made weaker. Consultation with a specialist means tbe ending of all misery, and the saving of your
e3*esight. Dr. Stain is reliable, you do hot see him once and then look for him
again in vain. He is going to make special visits to your town Come and see
him and have your eyes scientifically tested free of charge, that you may have
comfort when you read and write.    He will be at the
Harmon House; Monday and
Tuesday, July 2 and 3.

COMMENCEMENT
Commencement week like in former
years was one of pleasure for many.
The graduating time is always looked
forward to with happy anticipations
and cheer for both pupils and parents
and has become yery popular with
schools generally.
The promotion exercises Thursday
morning were well attended and pleasing to the audience. The work of the
smaller classes is always interesting
and pleasing and the pupils enjoy it
equally as well vdth the parents and
visitors.
Commencement proper was held in
the opera house Thursday night and
the house well filled, a few however
were kept away by the threatening
storm that came up early in the evening. 'I he hall was neatly decorated
with the class colors, lemon and" blue
and the exercises interesting and
pleasing. The music was furnished by
the high school choir under the direction of Prof. Maybee, and a duet by
Prof.- and Mrs. Maybee. Miss Ora A.
Rogers gave the Salutatory in a* very
appropriate and winning way. Casti-
lar, an oration by Roy R. Bixby ,, was
one of the interesting subjects of the
evening. The class history and prophecy are usually looked forward to as
the humorous and much desired parts
on all commencement programs and
Miss Blanche E. Gordon served well
the class of 1900 with these two subjects. Black Your Heels, was the subject of an oration delivered by Arthur
L. Davenport, in this all who were
present will agree with us that Arthur
did both himself and the subject,
credit. Tbe vole of the class said that
the class .farewell and valedictory
should be prepared and given by Miss
Fannie M. Briggs, and in her ever
pleasing manner Fannie spoke fraukly
and fairly to and of her classmates and
with the cherished desire for the best
wish of all bid them good bye. President. Hull of the school board gave the
class some good advice and a pleasant
talk afterwhich he presented the diplomas which by hard work they had
won.
The Alumni

night with a fair attendanoe. After
the supper Mrs. J. N. Lewis, class of
T§, was introduced as loastuiistress lor

Plymouth Binding Twine
A Comparative Statement showing the Cost and Value of  BindiDg
Twine, based on tbo supposition that a farmer needs, to bind his grain,
* 300 pounds of Plymouth Sisal, or Standard Twine, which runs 505 feet
to the pound.
Three hundred pounds of Plymouth Standard or Sisal will  give him
151,500 feet.
151.500 ft. of 505 ft. to the lb„ weighs SOO   lbs. @ 14c will cost S42.00
151,500 ft. of 480 ft. to the lb., weighs 315| lbs. @ 14c will cost §44 19
15.1,500 ft. of 470 it. to the lb , weighs 322£ lb's. @ 14c willcost §45.13
151,500 ft. of 450 ft. to the lb , weighs S36j} lbs. @ 140 will cost §47.13
151,500 ft. of 430 ft. to the lb., weighs 352£ lbs. @ 14c willcost $49.33
We have recently tested twine sent us for examination, that averaged
a little less than 430feet to the pound. ""
The PLYMOUTH Twines are the only ones of these grados that run
505 feet to the pound. You saye by buying them, over the lowest
grade, S7.33 on 309 pounds, or S2.44 per 100: or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells for 14 cents per pound, the otber
should sell for 11 66-100 cents, to be as cheap, and others in proportion
The Moral is. buy PLYMOUTH Twino, and save money, and the
annoyance of loose bundles, caused by poor twino.  .
