Pupils who had been con--3 sidered below the average in certain , subjects and othefs who were con- ! sidered on the verge of failure, turned in almost perfect manuscripts, . As more papers were graded by . tlie pedagogs, their consternation ( turned to suspicion. The paper on which the answers were written was , examined closely and it was found that, in many instances, the paper was not the same as handed out by i tile teachers. The teachers put their . l eads together and then the trouble started —for several pupils. The questions used in the examinations were printed on a mimeograph Tile first few copies of each set of i questions were not considered good enough to hand out to the pupils and , they were thrown into the waste paper basket. Later the baskets were emptied and the paper thrown into a bailer in the basement of the school building. This fact was remembered by those who made the mimeograph copies, and a hurried investigation of the paper in the bailer was made. The investigation of the innocent paper bailer in the basement of the school building, disclosed the secret of the 100 percent manuscripts. The soiled copies of the questions were not to be found in the bailer. Tlie conclusion reached by the faculty, which is very likely correct, I was as follows: Some pupil, or perhaps more than one, learned that the soiled copies of the questions had been discarded into the paper bailer, cautiously made his or their way to the bailer undetected, obtained the copies of the questions and passed them out freely to the other pupils. The pupils looked up the answers to the questions they could not answer and several of the pupils even went so far as to write out the answers to the questions on their own paper before going to the class room to take tlie examination. This difference In the kind of paper used was one of the principal causes of suspicion it is said. After the truth had been learned by the teachers, practically every boy in tlie freshman, sophomore and junior classes was called to the office of Prinicipal Paul W. Linton and Superintendent M. F. Worthman, where they were questioned closely. Since the questions used in the examinations on Wednesday afternoon • wefe known to many of the pupils before the examination, the grades 1 made on the examination will not be used in making out the pupils' report cards, it is said, but instead the class work will be used. New questions were made out for the examinations which iiad not been held before the theft of the other questions

I was discovered. After a thorough investigation the school officials established the identity of four pupils who were the leaders in the affair. The full semester's credit of these four pupils will be withheld, and tqn per cent will be deducted from the grade of those pupils who made use of the stolen questions. o— SAGE TEA TURNS GRAY HAIR DARK Il’s Grandmolher’s Recipe to Bring Buck Color and Lustre to Hair That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had my brewing a mixture of Sago Tea and Sulphur.

Heated Argument Among ; Presbyterians Threatened ! Vatted rrria Stuff <'»rr<-a|tunilrnt < Indianapolis, May 18—(Special to ] Daily Democrat) —The determination « of William Jen* lag* Bryan to refuse ' the appointment as chairman of the Home Missions committee of the Presbyterian General assembly and fight on the floor of the convention for a place on the more important committee on bills and overtures which will deal with the Fosdick case threatened to plunge the assembly into a heated argument betweep the ultra conservatives and the liberalists. Bryan stated just before the beginning of the afternoon session that he would refuse the appointment as Home Missions chairman. He is prepared to take the floor of the convention and state his reason for refusing the appointment given , him by Dr. -Charles S. Wishart, who ‘ defeated him for moderator. As chairman of the bills and overtures committee Bryan would practically have controlled the doctrinal * and policy question to be voted upon t by the assembly and would have been t in position *to have meted to Dr. t Harry Emerson Fosdick, the disci- ; pline which the ultra conservative t group is anxious to impose upon him. ■■■■ o SOYBEANS FOR COWS • i ] Adams County Farmer Uses Them to i Balance Corn Ration ; Adams County farmers who intend t to sow soybeans this year for the grain yield will be interested in know- ( ing that the relatively new crop is ] proving valuable not only as a sub- < stitute for tankage in fattening hogs but is also serving admirably well | as a part of the grain ration for dairy t cows, substituting for cotten-seed or ; oil meal. Due to tlie scarcity of beans not many farmers have tried them out in the grain ration but the few that 1 have done so are well satisfied according to a statement from the county agent yesterday. In this con- 1 nection it was stated that a certain t Preble township farmer has used 1 them ground with oats and corn during the entire winter and spring and has found them to be excellent for milk production. When asked how they should be included in the ration it was stated that they should be ground with corn and oats in the proportion of 400 pounds corn, 200 pounds oats and 100 pounds beans. Due to the fact that last year's oats was of poor quality slightly less oats and more corn was used in the instance referred to above. “Corn and cob meal as the grain ration is not tlie thing for dairy dairy cows." stated the farmer in question. "The cobs have practically no feeding value and the corn needs to be balanced," he continued. When soybeans are used in the grain ration they (tend to balance the corn and oats and also serve as a laxative. This farmer has slated he will sow several acres of soybeans again this year. i—• MONEY IS WASTED Earl Crawford Says Good Roads Are Built Where Not Needed Indianapolis, May 18. — (Special to Daily Democrat)— “Money is wasted in Indiana building goods roads where they ;Ae not needed," declared Earl Crawford, member of the Indiana State Highway commission in and address here. “One of the reasons we have high taxes is because we have been experimenting too much in road building,” he continued. "The people of Indiana are wiling to pay their taxes and pay them cheerfully if they can see that they get a dollar's worth of good out of every dollar they pay." Motor trucks and motor bus lines are one of the greatest advances made by Indiana in years, Fred R. Ditcher, secretary of the Indiana Wholesale Grticers association said. Bomb Exploded In U. S. Consulate In Mexico Mexico City, May 18.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—A powerful bomb was exploded in the basement of the building occupied by tlie American consulate here early today. No one was injured, and no damage was done to tlie consul's office. No arrests have been made. There is no direct evidence that the bomb was Intended for the American consulate, police said.

Brown secretary of the board of state charities. “At the close of 1922, a total of 15.639 men and women had been released since the enactment of tlie parole law," Brown said. “Field agents of the state saw that they had a home and employment to go to; saw also, that they obeyed the terms of their condition release. Any increase in crime, Brown said, cannot be traced to parole violators. It must lie attributed to new offenders. Only 4,036 paroled prisioners have been filed delinquent, he said.
