Three of the senior girls of the

In fact two of them were brides when

New Method Found for the

Eradication of Farm Weeds;

Iron Sulphate Spray Used

Would the farmers of Umatilla

county like to secure an easy method

ot destroying wild mustard and other

weeds In their fields and along their

roads? If so they should try spray

ing with Iron sulphate according to

L. P. Gambee, Instructor In agricul

ture at the Pendleton high school. Mr.

Gambee has been making some tests

in which ho used Iron sulphate and

he finds the solution Is death to

weeds yet does not Injure growing

grain. He has also been consulting

with other experts on the subject and

has found a valuable bulletin Issued

by the agricultural experiment station

at the University ot Wisconsin. It la

bulletin 179 and Is entitled, "The

Eradication of Farm Weeds With

Iron Sulphate." Any one desiring a

copy may secure the same for 10 cents

by writing to the Wisconsin university

at Madison.

In the following article Mr, Gam

bee gives Instruction as to the use of

iron sulphate:

Some of the wheat grower of this

section have asked me to report on

most successful in eradicating the

wild mustard. A iron sulphate has

around Pendleton that iron sulphate

can be used to kill the weeds "which

grow along the roads as well a those

which grow in the fields. R. A. Moor

of the agronomy department of the

University of Wisconsin was the first

one to use Iron sulphate In killing

farm weeds. When he passed through

Pendleton last week he stated that

the iron sulphate could be used very

effectually In fighting mustard and

some other of the weeds of this sec

tion. There are several varieties of mus

tard but only a few of them are con

sidered as pests and almost all of

these can be destroyed by the use ot

Iron sulphate solution.

BERLIN, My 29. Germany's re

ply to the president's note was hand

ed Ambassador Gerard by the foreign

office early today. Gerard and em

bassy attaches, are translating and

Despite secrecy It is roughly known

the note will ask the United States to

garding the Lusltanta and then take

up further interchanges regarding

general submarine warfare.

WASHINGTON, May 29. With the

news that Germany's reply has been

delivered to Ambassador Gerard, an

increased nervousness was felt in of

ficial circles today. It was the opin

ion of Gerard that the note will fail

to satisfy the United States. The note

is understood to be couched In friend

ly terms but it la understood the kais

er will insist that German submarine

warfare la justified in view of Eng

land's attempt to starve the civilian

population of Germany. If this should

be the case ai no concessions made

to the president's objections, a sharp

rejoinder is certain.

Those close to the president declare

that he feels unless visitation and

search of merchant vessels precedes

the firing of a torpedo by a submar

ine, and unless passengers and crew

are given time to take to the boats,

the sinking of such vessels Is a flag

rant breach of international law. It

demand that Germany agree to abso

Last Evening.

REV. SNYDER GIYES ADDRESS

b Delivered by Miss Eileen Bow.

ling' Diplomas Are Presented by

Bperlateadcnt Landers.

Forty-five young men and women,

composing the largest class ever

graduated from the Pendleton high

school, were last evening given their

diplomas at the conclusion of exercis

es witnessed by an audience that fill

ed every available Inch ot floor space

In the big high school auditorium.

These forty-five young people lis

tened to a most appropriate address

by Rev. J. E. Snyder of the Presby

terian church, an address full of most

helpful and wholesome advice. It

was an able and most impressive talk

and was heard with rapt attention

not only by the students but by the

hundreds In the audience.

Rev. Snyder took for his subject,

"The Young People and the Times."

He spoke to some extent upon the

changing of the times, contrasting the

present age of bewildering develop

ment In scientific. Industrial and eco

nomic lines with the age of even halt

a century ago. Then, he said, the

world was largely Individualistic,

each man relying upon himself alone.

Now, he said, the world has become

socialistic to the extent that every

man is dependent npon a thousand

other men for the necessities of life.

In the complex civilization there are

numberless opportunities for the

young man and young women who I

equipped with the proper assets.

Rev. Snyder enumerated what he

considers the pe requisites of success.

First is a liberal education, he. said,

but with it must go sterling integrity

of character, clean habits of living and

a courageous heart. He defined by

illustration and explanation his ult

meaning.

Rev. Snyder wag Introduced to the

audience by Rev. T. F. Weaver of the

Christian church and was paid a

warm tribute by the other minister.

Rev. Weaver ateo pronounced the In

vocation at the commencement of the

exercises after the graduates had filed

onto the stage to the processional

played by Miss Pauline Rice.

The salutatory was delivered by

Miss Meta Nell. Besides extending a

welcome in behalf of the class, she

briefly recited the rapid growth and

development of the high school dur

ing the pest few years. To Mtss

Eileen Bowling fell the honor of de

livering the valedictory and she ac

quitted herself of the task in a very

interesting manner.

The diplomas were presented to the

graduates by Supt. J. S. Landers.

Chairman Brock of the board, to

whom the duty fell, waiving the priv

ilege and requesting the superintend

ent to act for. him Supt. Landers,

preliminary to handing out the diplo

mas, made a short address to the au

dience. He called upon the parents

of the graduates to arise and to them

he addressed a tribute for the sacri

fices they had undergone In bringing

their children to this successful com

pletion of their school course, Supt.

Landers also spoke upon the new

trend toward the practical In the

schools and he urged that this com

munity continue Its progreaslvenesa.
