The Senior class of 1918 has passed out of the doors of the Solomon High School into the greater and more difficult school of life. The 1918 class is one of the largest classes in the school's history and for the first time, there are more boys than there are girls. The members bf the class are: Lena Burke, Valedictorian; Vida Fugatt, Salutatorian; Paul Neil, Class President; Emma Davidson, Leila Joyce, Hazel Belle Harshman, Edna Neaderhiser, Lee Elden Leasure, James Sullivan, Eugene Sullivan, Decatur Rees, Carl Burke, Alfred Alexander, Will Alexander. Prop As I am leaving on Friday for Omaha to enter the service of the United States army, I would appreciate it if-all knowing themselves indebted to me would call and settle. I am leaving my store in charge of Lee Bard, a registered druggist, who is an old acquaintance of mine and who, I know, will give you the best of service.

I bespeak for him the same liberal patronage that you have given me. Will be with you again as soon as we clean up on Kaiser Bill. Until Then, Good Bye, T. V. Hamngton PRESCRIPTION DRUGGIST I L.

J. SUPPLE, FROM OVER TflE SEA "We herewith publish an interesting, letter from "Vick" Ed-worthy, who is doing Y. M. C. A.

work in France: March 22. 1918 Mr. Frank Henderson, Solomon, Kansas, Dear Frank: Yours of the 5th lilt, to hand Wednesday evening and I was surely glad to seeyour name again. I have been too busy to write to hardly anyone except Stella and I certainly Jhope that she gets my letters better than I get hers fori am on ihe water wagon as far as get ting news from home is Have had delightfully hard jobs, since coming over. here.

Mud floor in the first hut, candles for lights, mud that loved yu so you couldn't drive it away with a club. Men that needed ever so many things and you couldn't get them without fighting for them and all sorts of er-Tors on account of some few mem who would ball things up even in a packing-plant. But. at that have not been so very sick, have lost weight, have met more furny men and seen more quetr houses and heard every language under the sun bince being here Was recognized at the Opera ontinued on page 5) SALE POSTPONED AGAIN Old J. Pluvious is responsible for the Red Cross sale being; postponed again.

It was the intention to sell the remainder of the stuff Saturday afternoon but a continual rain caused it to be put off to the coming Saturday afternoon. The articles to be sold consist of about 200 bushels of grain, such as alfalfa seed, cane seed, Sudan grass seed, seed corn, also several bushels of Early Ohio potatoes, several head of live stpck, some farm machinery, etc. If the weather is suitable drive in Saturday afternoon and attend this sale. and Mrs. E.

C. Comstock from "Somewhere in France," that everything is going well with him. He is in the aviation division and now can hitch the title of sergeant to his name, which will be good news to his Solomon friends. He sends his best regards to-all. CARNEYS TO RETURN Our readers will be glad to learn that Mr.

and Mrs. C. M. Carney will soon return to Solomon and again call this home. Claude was here Saturday and accepted the position as cashier in the Solomon National Bank succeeding T.

T. Riordan who left a week ago to take a job with Uncle Sam for the duration of the war. -Mr. and Mrs. Carney have been living in Manhattan for several months, Claude holding a good position with the Union Pacific at Camp Funston.

He ha3 had much experience in clerical work and is well qualified for his new position. The family is held in highest esteem in Solomon and all will welcome their return. Dr. P. R.

Young reports the arrival of a boy baby at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Emery O. Seward. Mr.

Seward is working for T. V. Riordan. T. V.

LEAVES FRIDAY T. V. Harrington, proprietor of the Harrington drng store, will leave on Friday for Omaha to enter the aviation department of the United States army. He will probably work as a druggist. Tim came here about a year ago and installed a drug store and has enjoyed a splendid business.

He is a likeable young map and naturally made many warm friends. We will miss the little fellow from our midst but wish him all the good luck in the world. Lee Bard, of Kansas City, an old friend of Tim's, is here to take charge of the store. Mr. Bard appears like a mighty fine fellow and the store will' no doubt con tinne to enjoy a good patronage under his management.

He has a wife and son, Billie, whom he will move here in a short time. BILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE If Kaiser Bill had been in So-omon on Saturday night and Sunday morning and witnessed the fistic encounters he would have hurried back to Europe and withdrawn his army from the western front, declaring he did not care to go against such a blood thirsty bunch. baa mm BACCALAUREATE SERVICES Baccalaereate services were held in the H-H hall Sunday evening. The Seniors marched in a body accompanied by the Faculty. The High School chorus gave very splendidly the oratoria "Gloria," which was followed by the invocation which was given by Rev.

J. P. Davis of the Presbyterian church. After this the chorus sang, "Oh Mother, Dear Jerusalem." Following came the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Davis, which was a splendid address and was full of helpful' advice, for the young people in whose honor the service was held.

At the close of the sermon the congregation arose and sang "America" after which Rev. Davi3 gave the dismissal. CLASS NIGHT Class Night was on Monday evening, and the program was given entirely by the class of '18. The "Welcome" was given by Elden Leasure followed by a song which was given by the class. It was a satire on the other classes of the high school and was well applauded by the audience.

Decatur Rees then gave his oration entitled "Democracy," which was very well presented. The Class History given by Miss Vida Fugatt was very interesting. It told the complete story of the class, the time when each member "first saw the light." In this history a strange coincidence was brought to light, Miss Lena Burke and Miss Emma Davidson being born on the same date of the same year. Next came the Class Will, which was given by Miss Leila Joyce, and was very interesting and humorous. The duet by Paul Neil and Decatur Rees was one of the big features of the evening.

They flrs.t sang "They Go Wild, Simply Wild, Over Me," which brought down the house. As an encore they sang "Keep Your, Eye On the Girl You Love." The Class Prophecy, by James Sullivan was very interesting and told what each member of the class would be doing twenty years from now. "Industrial Peace," the oration given by Lee Henderson was a splendid talk, and showed much work on the part of the young man.
