Have an Excellent Time
The representatives of the Nehaw
ka post of the American Legion,
which were in attendance at the na
tional convention at Kansas City
last week, returned home and were
well pleased with the excellent time
which they had. Those from Nehaw
ka were "Walter Wundelich, Edward
Wood and Eugene Nutzman. They
met many of the boys whom they
had been with in the war and at
camp. Water Wundelich was espec
ially pleased to have met one of his
buddies, who lives in California, and
was to have him home with him for
a short time, but on account of the
pressure of business at his home In
the west he was. at the last moment,
unable to visit here. "Some tales are
told of the doings of the boys at the
meet. A number had gone to the
stock yards and taken a steer and
proceeded to town, loading the un
ruly brute and had gotten the ani
mal half way up the stairs of one of
the uptown hotels when they were
persuaded to desist from their ven
ture.
A number of the boys were shoot
ing craps along the street when a
straight faced preacher came along
and appealed to the police to stop
"sich doin's" but the minion of the
law replied, ' Those are the boys
who Fritz couldn't stop. How do you
expect me to stop them?"

school library. In as much as the
city has no public library, the school
library should he built up so It is
of the greatest use to the pupils and
the community. A library is of great
value in promoting good English and
in giving a broader understanding
to the pupils. The superintendent
would be glad to receive books from
anyone outside the school that have
some that they no longer use. The
boohs should be by good authors and
cover any field, that could be used
in the school. The books here now
have been catalogued and will be

injury to every one who contracts
them as they lower the vitality and
prepare the system for the more ser

usual for people who have serious
lung trouble to say, "I had a hard
