Graduation are to•be.sent to the In- spectoron or beforeJune ist, 1919. Local Newspaper An appreciation of the local newspaper arid of what its editor does for his com- munity is well expressed in an article we have noticed in some of our exchanges credited to ex -Governor Francis of Mis- souri. Ex -Governor Francis, speaking of newspapers:, said : "Each. year the lo- cal paper gives from 5500 to $5,000 in free lines to the community in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The editor, in proportion to means, does more for his home town than any other ten men, and in all fairness he ought to be supported, not because you like him or admire his writings, but be- cause the local papers is the best invest- ment a community can make. It may not be brilliantly crowded with thought, but financially, it is more of a benefit to the community than the preacher or teacher Understand me, I am not speak- ing of Moral or spiritual values, and yet. on moral questions you will find most of the papers on 'the right side. To -day the editor of a live local paper does the most for the least money of anyone on earth."

The following ad- dsess was read by Mrs. Milton Smith, and a case of silver knives and'forks was pre- sented by Miss Laura Rolph : To Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stewart Dear Friends: We, your friends and co-workers of the Bluevale Methodist church having learn- ed of your intended departure from our midst have assembled here to spend a social hour. During the time you have assisted us in the choir, and ail the work in the church, your God-given talent has been manifest to all of us, and the earnest effort put forth by you to make the serv- ices effective has been appreciated by us. At choir practice, you were always punctual,c•eerful and your company was pleasing and inspiring. While sorry to part with you, the best wishes of those with whom you have so ably and unself- ishly labored, will go with you to your new home. As a slight recognition of the services rendered and of the regard in which you are held by alt of us We ask you to accept this gift, and though insig- nificant in itself, it shows in a slight de- gree our esteem for you. We trust that your future life may be one of endless happiness, and that a kind Providence may blees you with all the comforts and blessings which this life affords. We have no doubt you will shine in another community as you have here. We now bid you a fond adieu and trust that while engaged in the same laudable work and among varying scenes elsewhere, your thoughts will occasionally revert to the many friendsyou are leaving behind you at Bluevale.
