She lEosf VOL. 9, No. 21 FREEPORT, N. Y., FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1918 ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR EIGHTEEN PUPILS RECEIVE DIPLOMAS Freeport Schools Close the Term with Appropriate and Patri otic Exercises. The closing exercises of the Free port school term, which began last Sunday afternoon with the annual ad dress to the graduates at the Colum- hus avenue school by Rev. John L. O'Toole, terminated on Wednesday evening with the commencement program at the American Theatre. The class day exercises of the Sen ior Class interspersed the annual ad dress and commencement program. These were held Tuesday evening in the auditorium of the high school. Patriotic numbers featured the ex ercises and the address to the gradu ates bv Pastor O’Toole was considered one of the best ever delivered in Free port. lAn extra large crowd was present at the class day exercises. The class gave a small play depict ing the year 1028 in the Hotel Hot- tenroth a t Point Lookout. Adolph Hottenroith was proprietor of the ho tel, and reviewed in turn each member of the class as they will be in 1928. Each one of the class had a “knock” ready for the Junior Class. After arraignment of the Juniors, the lights went out and two Juniors, Lyman Fussell and Wesley Devlin, masked, and with guns and flashlights jumped upon the stage, firing blank shots. This was entirely unexpected by the Seniors and by fhe audience, and was highly effective. When quiet had been restored, the lights were turned on and Fussell gave the Junior Class version of what the Seniors will be in 1928. After the invaders’ exit, the Seniors resumed their program. The class history and will were read respective ly by Sam E. Lieberman and Chris tine Eidt. Ethel Peterson distributed the class presents, and Carol Smith gave a short speech explaining fchait the class had decided to depart from the cus tom of leaving the school any financial legacy, and would give the local chap ter of the Red Cross its resources as a contribution toward their bandage cutting machine. She asked for Mrs. H. L. Maxson, the Red Cross Branch president, and handed her $30 in gold. ■Mrs. Maxson made a short speech of appreciation. IAt the commencement exercises, the program of which was outlined last week, there was a large and appre ciative audience. Alfred Nygren gave a salutatory, in which he welcomed the assemblage, after the graduates had marched to the stage to music by the high school orchestra, and Rev. E. A. Burnes had offered prayer. The Girls’ Glee Club and the or chestra interspersed the program with musical numbers that were well re ceived. C. Dwight Baker, president of the School Board* awarded ’he diplomas to the graduates, eigh^er in number. Louise Finger gave the valedictory, which was followed by singing \The Star Spangled Banner.” Rev. J. L. Hynes pronounced the benediction, the orchestra placed “Defend America,” and the exercises came to a close with congratulations to the graduates by their parents, school mates and other friends. HAPPY HOUR’’ SERVICE Pastor Barnes of Freeport Has Sunday Evening Innovation. An innovation in Sunday evening services has been introduced at the Freeport M. E. Church by Rev. Ev erett A. Burnes, its pastor. It comes under the name of the “Happy Hour” service, begins promptly at 7.45, and closes just as promptly at 8.45. Any one can make an engagement to meet friends a t 8.45 and be sure to keep it. The object of the service is to do away with the long, tiresome, weary services on Sunday evenings, and SCHWABS INDICTED PLEAD NOT GUILTY Freeport Hotel Couple Charged With Keeping Disorderly Place Bailed for Trial. Prominent Nassau County Men Mineola (Special.)—Louis Schwab and his wife, Alice, of the Boulevard Hotel, Freeport, were held for trial in bail of $1,000 each iast Saturday, after they hajl pleaded not guilty to an indictment found by the Grand Jury charging them with keeping and | maintaining a disorderly house. The indictment of Schwab and his wife follows several implications which the hotel proprietor had with the authorities. Last fall his liquor li cense was discontinued and in the late spring he was arrested on a complaint that he had sold alcoholic beverages to soldiers in uniform. Schwab de feated this charge before U. S. Com- REV. EVERETT A. BURNES supply instead sixty minutes, crowded full of cheery, inspiring music and a short, crisp, hopeful, thought- pro voking address of a very practical character, which will help people to live better on Monday than they did on Saturday. Many persons are tired on Sunday, and they need a Ctospel of hope and cheer. The object of this service is to supply that, to give them a vision of God and duty, and then send them away on their way with a new h eart joy, and a note of song on their lips. Judging from the crowded condi tion of the church on 'Sunday even ings, Pastor Burnes has made a de cided hit with the “Happy Hour.” WALT El R RAYNOR.

A Great Solace is the wonderful music Re-Cre ated so perfectly by the NEW EDISON. Not long ago we read a letter from a mother in Texas who has three sons in France. She lives on a ranch twenty miles away from the nearest town. She wrote in part: “My great est joy now is my New Edison. At night I play records my boys loved and, somehow, I feel that through me they are hearing this sweet music, even in far away France. I don’t know what I would do without music now that my boys are gone. I hardly think I could stand it. T hope when they get in the fight thev will remember that their mother is back at home playing music for them. I be have thev will fight better and harder for it.” Are YOU lonelv and heavy- hearted? 'Why not let us sell you a NEW EDISON, -the Phono graph with a Soul? And you will find it just as responsive in times of jollity.

Donald Speir, an eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Speir of 5 Harvard street, and Edward Sharp, .aged 8, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Sharp of Columbia street, Hempstead, were drowned in a trench in Camp Mills last Saturday evening. The boys went barefooted around the Clinton road entrance to the camp. Near the entrance was a large trench about six feet deep, in which pipes are to be laid. It was protected at night by lanterns and planks. As a result of the heavy rain during Fri day, the trench was filled with water. Taking one of the planks from the side of the trench, the boys used it* as a raft. Soon they were missed and a search was started. Privates Al bert Lee and James C. Logie saw a boy's hand projecting from the wat er and pulled him out, and a few min utes later found the other lad. They were rushed to the base hos pital, where a pulmotor was used with the hope of resuscitating them, but they were dead. The bodies were taken to the Nassau County Morgue.

Nassau Firemen's Parade. Capt. Hume of Exemption Board Makes Them W. S. S. Salesmen.

When the men had pssembied in the office of the board, Captain Hanae said he had called them for the pur pose of appointing them a committee for the sale of War Savings Stamps. He said that inasmuch as they had been placed in a deferred classifica tion, they were expected to extend their efforta toward making the cam paign a success, and that their work would be considered part of “their bit” in winning the war. County Firemen’s Association will be held in Woodinere on Wednedsay, July 24. President William Stctfel of Hempatead and other officers of the association are hoping for a good turn-out of the companies enrolled in the association, notwithstanding the w ar situation, which has called a large number of the volunteer fire fighters into service for the govern ment.
