The credits were compiled from the records which were made up at the close of this school year.

As will be noticed no student will be classed as a Sophomore who has not made at least three Units of credit. To be a Junior each one must have at least seven Units, and to be classed a Senior each one must have eleven Units. (A Unit is defined as a Subject like Algebra, that is pursued for one year in High School for a period of thirty-six weeks reciting five times per week.) Several pupils are anxious to make up work during the summer and have engaged private tutors to help them in the work. To all who are wishing to make up work that way, they may do so, but they will be expected to take the State Examination in the subject. This examination will be held in Oskaloosa the first Friday and Saturday in August and all who wish credit for their summer's work should take this examination.

There will be a fee of one dollar and this will help to pay expenses for grading the papers The papers will all be graded by the State Board of Examiners. In the Class of 1915 Grace Scoville received the highest average of the class and Virgil Marks was second. These were also classed as credit students, both having at least seventeen units for their graduation. An Honor student is one who has eightteen units of work and an average of in all branches.

HARRY McGUIRE Obituary---Herbers It is with deep regret that we chron icle the death of Frank Herbers which occurred Wednesday, May 26th, at Kirksville, Mo. Mr.

Herbers had been a sufferer of stomach trouble for over a year, and finally his pains became so acute that he decided to submit to an operation. Everything went well, in fact he was considered out of danger when complications suddenly set in and he breathed forth his spirit into the hands of the Creator. When the news came over the wire that "Mr. Herbers was dead" it was received with deep sorrow by his beloved children and many friends. Frank Herbers was born in New Vienna, Iowa, Sept.

25, 1856, and died May 26th, 1915 at the age of 58 years, 6 months and 3 days. The greater part of his life was spent on the farm of his father where he had grown to manhood. In Novem ber 1882, he' was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Elizabeth Truhe. God blessed their union with ten children, all of whom are living, except the oldest who died in infancy. Those left to mourn the death of a loving father are Mrs.

Godfrey Sieve of Valley Falls, Mrs. Joseph Halbur of Halbur, Iowa, Mr. John Herbers, living 4 miles east of town, Sophia, Theo dore, Elizabeth, Clara, Aloysius and Bertha, all at home. Besides a devoted wife he leaves two brothers, viz John Herbers of Carroll, Iowa, and Bernard Herbers of New Vienna, Iowa Both were here to attend the funeral. About seven years ago, Mr.

Frank Herbers and his respectable family moved to Valley Falls, Kansas, and located on a farm miles northeast of town. Although a stranger in this part of the country, he soon made friends, for he was of a quiet and peace able disposition. Being honest, industrious and charitable, he was esteemed by all who knew him. He was most liberal in his donations to charity and no deserving party ever appealed to him for help without receiving it. The large funeral procession gave proof of the esteem in which he was held.

To the stricken wife is left the mem ory of a devoted husband, to the children the example of a noble father, and to all who knew him the realization of a genuine, thorough-going I character. The solemn Requiem High Mass took place on Monday, May 31st at 10 -o'clock. Father Dominic was the cele brant of the Mass, Father Goldman of Nortonville was deacon and Father Alphonse of Atchison was subdeacon. Father Anthony of Effingham was master of ceremonies. This was followed by sermon, and prayers, incensing and absolution of the dead of the burial service, in preparation for the resurrection of the body on the last day.

Burial took place in St. Marys cemetery. The following were the pall bearer: Messrs. M. Henrichs, A.

Stein, N. Kelly, John Heinen, Ed. Kelly and Pat Doyle. May he rest in peace. $205.00 $205.00 Card of Thanks We desire to sincerely thank our friends and neighbors for their assistance and sympathy in our hour of bereavement and loss of husband and father.

Mrs. Frank Herbers and Children Death of John Ernest Uncle John Ernest died at his home seven miles north of Valley Falls last Sunday, after a lingering illness. The good old man, friend and neighbor has gone to his reward. John Ernest was born in Germany, March 18, 1822, and died at his old home north of Valley Falls, Sunday, May 30, 1915, a Memorial Day in his adopted country, aged 93 years, 2 months and 18 days. Until last summer he was able to visit his neighbors and drive to town and attend to business.

The cause of his death was given as old age. He came to America in 1844, locating first at St. Louis in the year of the great flood. In 1854 he came to Valley Falls, then Grasshopper Falls, locating on a claim that is now the fine farm on the Delaware bottoms, now owned by Dr. M.

F. Marks. Next year he changed to the place where he died. For 60 years that was his home where his children grew up around him, where, he prospered and enjoyed life and where around his fireside friends and even strangers were ever welcome. To this union with Eliza Larson, eight children were born, all of whom except George survive him and mother.

The living are John of Salt Lake City; Edwin, Samuel and Emma of Ar rington; William of Peuyallup, Jane Miller of Muscotah and Annie of Arrington. The funeral was held Tuesday at the home, J. E. Resmberg of Potter delivering the oration'. The burial was in the family cemetery on the old home.

Peace to his ashes. Chris Moore of Westmoreland visited his father and sisters here Wednesday. He had been to Kansas City buying goods and came in on the belated Missouri Pacific Tuesday night. A car of lumber was wrecked across the track near Neeley..
