The baccalaureate sermon delivered Sunday evening by Rev. Arthur Brown of the Baptist church was filled with Excellent thoughts , that every member of the graduallug class will do well to remember Life Is a marathon and only those ’ who remember the teachings of the Great Coach can hope to attain full • reward. His subject was "Three ’ Essentials With One Control," and he listed them as being able to forget mistakes and faflures, to rei member the mercies of Heaven and I to press forward to the high call- ' ing of Jesus Christ. The sermon , was of highest merit and was apI preciated, we know, by the class 1 and their many friends who attended the services held at the Reform cd church. Commencement is over after a happy week of varied entertainment. closing with the graduation exercises last evening and sixty ono boys and girls started on their way this morning. We hope for each file culmination of all hopes and assure them of many happy 1 days ahead if they but remember (the lessons taught them dttrihg i school hours and the advice offered by President Pittenger last evening. Whatever you may have heard of the economic conditions, be not afraid. This is still the i greatest country in the world and , the opportunities the next decade ■ or two will be greater than ever. Find a goal and push toward if. I keep clean and honest and you wiH win. Dr. Pittenger impressed the large audience that heard him give Ms i address to the graduating class of 1934 in the Decatur high school auditorium last evening. His subject was “On Coming of Age" and | he brought out the fact that not ■ j size, nor age nor intellect determ ' ines that very important time in I the life of every one. A grown-up. I he pointed out has the ability and j inclination to earn his own living. «an bear criticism and analyze Bbear praise, humbly, remain calm under stress and he master of things that otherwise might control him. A real grown- , up does not seek to escape responsibilities and cares by resorting to 1 narcotics, alcoholic stimulants or , i suicide but rather relishes the chai- I ' lenges of life and meets them more I than half way. "Keep your eye on ithe ball and not on the grandstand." was the excellent advice Os Dr. Pittenger to she sixty-one fine boys ! and girls who made up the graduating class.

■'tage and films, „ Ralph wants to I build a vacation spot with especial appeal to actors. In addition to rest and rid- | ing, he would tempt them with ; a little theater, i A sort of bus- i man’s holiday ■ idea. Anothevprime i mover in the project is Tom Keene, the former western star who spent a season with a small

stock company tn Skowhegan, Maine. Tom owns some property in the foothills beyond Sherman Oaks, and this may be the location chosen for the ranch. Under the plan, the audiences for the little theater would be largely professional, drawn from nearby Hollywood and Beverly Hills. New plays would be tried out, especially those with artistic merit but dubious as commercial properties. Morgan thinks that the ranch would draw some of the Broadway viavers who normally go to the New England states for the summer months. If you can believe Leo Carrillo, his family had a sense of humor clear back in the Spanish Kvant days of Southern California. The actor reports that one of his ancestors led soldiers to face the invading General Micheltorena. Finding himself in a dangerous spot the ancient Carrillo summoned his lieutenants. "If their force outnumbers ours we must retreat," he said dryly. “And myself being lame win start now. I '' More nervous than he had ever been on the stage, Otto Kruger listened to the musical debut of his 7-year-old daughter, Ottilie, who gave her first piano recital at the Beverly Hills Woman’s Club. Few know it, but Kruger is as deeply interested in music as be is in acting. Once in New York he eomfiosSd a symphony, hired an orchestra and a hall, and himself directed ths first rendition of the score.

McCormick-Deering New 4 World’s Most Popular Riding Cultivator A SLIGHT pressure on one of the pedals of the New 4 pivots the wheels and shifts the gangs at the same time giving double-quick action in dodging plants or hills out of line. The New 4is a "balance frame" cultivator. When the gangs are raised by the master lever which is provided. the frame moves forward, balancing the cultivator and the driver nicely. The thorough success of the McCormick-Deering New 4 has undoubtedly made it the largest selling riding cultivator in the world. We will be glad to show it to you. We also have McCormick-Dcering Cultivators in 2-row sizes and in types for use with the Farmall tractor. THE SCHAFER STORE HARDWARE AND HOME FURNISHINGS

FARM VALUES IN SMALL RISE Real Estate Values Show First General Gain Since 1920 Washington, May 22—A small rise in farm real estate values during the last year is reported by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics which puts the averI age value for the United States at 76 per cent of prewar as of ' March 1, 19.14 compared with 73 per cent on March 1. 1933. The gain is the first to be re--1 corded for the country as a whole since 1920. and is attributed by ! the bureau “primarily to the ces- ’ sat ion of the decline of farm in- ! comes and to the increase in such incomes in substantial sections, i particularly cotton, grain, and flue-cured tobacco area*; to the I improved credit facilities tending | to remove the pressure for forced liquidation, and In part to the lowering of taxes on farm real estate especially in some areas, legislation casing in various ways j the burden of taxes, or the pres- ! sure of tax sales, or giving some respite against foreclosure has also tended to give farmers a feeli ing of greater security," the ' bnrean adds. In 1920 the average farm real estate value was 170 per cent of prewar, in 1925 it was 127 percent. ' in 1930 it was 115 per cent, in 1931 : it was 106 per cent, and in 1932 it I was 89 per cent. The base period : 191214 equals 100.
