Superintendent EIGHTH GRADE GETS DIPLOMAS Thirty two Pupils Are Graduated From Grammar Class of Public Schools. PLEASING PROGRAM GIVEN LAST NIGHT IN CITY HALL Ritchie Gives Talk to Parents on Keeping Children in Nights. The eighth grade class of the Bemidji public schools, which has for a motto, “Launched But Not Anchored,” was launched last evening at the city hall Some thirty-two were given diplomas at the conclusion of an interesting program. Parents and friends turned out for the exercises in large num- ber and filled the hall to overflow- ing, even standing room being at a premivm, The graduation was one of the prettiest held in the city. The hall was attractively decorated with evergreens and red, white and blue bunting and the national flag, and with the white dresses worn by the girls, "the effect was a pleasing one. The program opened with the singing of “Dixie Land” by the class, and was followed by an in- vocation by Rev. White Then came.the salutatory by John McDonald, the smallest member of the class in stature, but a young man who has learned how to “‘deliver the goods.” Then came a vocal duet by Misses Ellen Tyson and Clara Benson, accompanied by Miss Rose Dickinson, which was duely appreciated. The piano solo by Emil Engel also received liberal applause, as did the reading by Miss Mary Simons. Eva Bolden was next on the program with the class history. She reviewed the happenings of the last year and dwelt on the trouble each one had given the teachers, especially Scott Hub- bard. Miss Mabelle McTaggart, ac- companied by Miss Clements, gave a pleasing vocal solo. and following this number came the class prophecy; a look of ten years into the future. The piano duet by Misses Ellen Tyson and H. W. Bailey Commander. In the write-up of the Me- morial Day exercises yesterday the Pioneer did an inadvertent injustice to H. W. Bailey, com- mander of the local post. Through an oversight, the able addresses given by the com- mander at theé cemetery and at the city hall were not mentioned, and the title of commander was conferred on-one of the other speakers. While, of course, it makes very little difference to Mr. Bailey personally, it is but justice to him to make the correction. The commander has been a moving spirit in the preparations for Memorial Day, and it is largely through his efforts that the ex- cellence of the exercises was made possible. Orpha Miner drewa round of applause and then came the last number on the program, the 'va.]edictory by Miss Dora Me- Cauley. At the conclusion of the class program Superintendent Ritchie distributed the diplomas, but prefaced the presentation with a few pointed remarks. He first appealed to the parents to help in building up the schools. He told them they could do it in two ways; first by seeing that all the children kept good hours and second by seeing that they had no idle time for mischief. Mr. Ritchie’s talk to the stu- dents was full of sound advice, also. He cautioned them not to think, because they had received their eighth grade diplomas, that they were through school, but to keep right on through the high school, The only marring feature of the evening was the rowdyism on the partof anumber inthe gallery, who insisted on making objectionable noises. Superin- tendent Ritchie was forced to interrupt a number on the pro- gram to rebuke the offenders, but even this did not have the desired effect and a policeman took one of the noisy youngsters to the city lcek-up until the exer- cises were oyer.

ITALIANS WOULD AYOID POLL TAX Puzzle in Nebish Township Passed Up to County Auditor for Solution. County Auditor Wilmann is in receipt of a letter from Fred Kline, road overseer of the town of Nebish, in which Mr. Kline asks advice how to compel a number of Italians to work their poll tax. 1t seems there are quite a number of these people there working on the railroad and if they do not pay poll tax at Nebish they will escape the tax.

Naturally the mayor and the aldermen, as well as all to whom the news was tipped off, are feeling jubilant, and there is to be rno time lost in putting the money to work.

Final and favorable action was taken at the last meet- ing of the board held this week. New Orleans, June 1.—Paul Suber- ville, & prominent citizen of New Iberia, was killed and H. M.
