AN END TO DEATH
And I heard a great voice out of
heaven saying, behold, the taber
nacle of God is with men, and lie
will dwell with them, and shall be
with them, and be their God. And
God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor cry
ing, neither shall there be any more
pain; for the former things are pass
ed away.

Basketball
Basketball is, you might say, the
only athletic sport in our school. We
would appreciate very much to have
the people of Nehawka support us
this season and others to come. Al
though the boys have not done so
well the last few years, we intend
to put out a team this year that will
make our school and town proud of
us.
We know that some of the people
are against basketball and say it is
an unnecessary expense. Yes, it
costs money but we make enough to
cover all pur expenses. Others say
it is a waste of time. But is it?. It
gives the players strength and good
sportsmenship. It trains them to
think quickly and accurately. They
say it takes the interest of the school
work away from the pupil. Again
No. It is required that the student
be up in their studies in order to
play. They will study diligently in
order that they will be able to play
if they can make the team. If you
will take notice, I think you will find
that most of the people who are com
plaining and criticizing the school
are people that are kicking about
everyhting else. An Enthusiastic
Player.

Since the new chemistry aprons
have arrived the chemistry class has
become quite ambitious. Last Wed

thorough cleaning. The shelves,
cupboards and acid bottles were all
washed. This class is preparing for
work.

morning. Those in the assembly the
first period noticed their attacks es
pecially. Faculty Picnic
The teachers of the schools for
sometime have had their mouths
puckered for a picnic supper. So
what did they do? They said "Good
bye" to books about 5 o'clock Tues
day afternoon and started for a
pleasant little grove of trees. Being
good hikers they soon reached the
chosen spot and within a short time
had the warming flames Jumping in
to the air. One member was excused
from hiking in condition that he
would bring his family and would
carry the eats. The burning sticks
soon settled into a bed of coals. A
squad of wienie pointed spears charg
ed upon the fiery circle. A sizzle, a
sputter, another sizzle, a crackling
and the first morsel was on its way.
You know what is generally eaten
on picnics. Yes, even to the ashes.
And you know that the taste is not
to be described in words. But there
was an added flavor that of convivi
ality. School at the County Fair
In place of attending the usual
class room work latt Friday after
noon the entire enrollment was dis
missed at noon with the expectation
that all should study the various ex
hibits at the Cass county fair held at
Weeping Water. Most of the pupils
had their own means of transporta
tion so that the two busses were able
to carry the others.
The home economics department
was filled with a large variety of
needlework. An appliqued bedspread
made in China was of great interest.
Many beautiful hand-painted dishes,
paintings, penciled drawings and
strings of beads were also shown. A
very clever piece of work was the
small stand made of rope.
The live stock consisted of several
choice specimens of purebred and of
thoroughbred animals. A few state
fair ribbon winners were in the
barn. In one hall you could see all
kinds of canned foods as well as
fruits, vegetables and grains. The
variety of these especially the
canned foods, was interesting. A
glass cage contained 'Some "busy
bees" that were endeavoring to fill
a honeycomb. Many of the pupils of
the county could look with pride at
their handiwork pasted on the walls.
The quality of this work shows the
interest of the maker. The benefit
of seeing what others are doing can
hardly be measured. It may have
been good judgment of weather con
ditions or it may have been a rheu
matic forecast, but thanks to which
ever, it was that directed an early
return of the busses so that the
children were safely home before the
rain.
The boys that are intending to
play basketball this coming season
had their hearts tested Tuesday by
Dr. Thomas. We do not know the
outcome but we think that all will
get to play.

A stop of twenty five minutes wa$
made at St. Joseph, Missouri, which
gave us time to meet some of my
friends who had come to see us off
and present us with a delicious
lunch. When at last we had settled
down for the night, wo were soon
asleep. Perhaps some of our readers
wonder why we chose the southern
route in preference to the Chicago-
New York. The three of us had
traveled between these points before
but some of us had never gone the
southern way and since the rate
remained the samo we chose this
route which, by tho way, was made
in almost the same time us going
by the way of Chit-ago. Wo awoke
early, and turning Mr. (-off man
I said, we aro really on our way.
It was 7:30 a. m. when wo reached
St. Louis. Wo found Aim. HvHtte
waiting for us, so together we check
ed our baggago und by that time
were ready for our brakfut. remem
ber, dear readers, St. Louis is u
large city and we were not the only
ones who wanted their baggage
checked. We were to bo in St. Louis
until 12.05 at noon which gave us
time to take in part of the very
pretty city and some of it parks.
It was evening when we reached
Cincinati, Ohio, wishing then
that we might have had time for a
short sight-seeing trip in company
of Airs. Hesse who had formerly lived
there, but we hurried on our .way
and all through the night with very
few stops. This time Airs. Hesse was
ready "for a good sleep as she ex
pressed herself. Friday morning
while the other passengers were still
sound asleep. Airs. Coffman and I
were viewing the new country, tne
scenery was beautiful, we had often
heard of the Virginia hills and now
we were actually among them, the
houses, too, were built in a different
style from ours at home, the large
Nebraska corn fields were no more
and small farms and acreage were
in sight, many donkey drawn carts
and even ox teams made their ap
pearance.
It was about nine a. m. when we
reached Clarksburg, West Virginia,
where, among other passengers, was
a lady who took her seat right be
hind us. She noticed that we were
admiring the scenery and began to
talk to us. She proved to be Airs.
Alberta Lanham, the mother of the
young man who was the first to
drive his horse across the Rhine into
Germany in 1918 and our readers
will perhaps recall the accounts of
record as was given In the leading
magazines at the time.
We arrived in Washington Friday
afternoon at 3:30 tired and dusty.
We handed our tickets to the ticket
agent, this had to be done if we ex
pected to remain several days. The
beauty and cleanliness of the Wash
ington station impressed us, a,s also
did the sign "This is your city"
which seemed a personal greeting.
We took rooms at the Continental
Hotel which is but three blocks
from the station. About five o'clock
we walked up toward some of the
government buildings and had been
sitting in front of the Pension build
ing about five minutes when a big,
fat colored woman ran past us and
close behind her a policeman, and
the cry came, "thief, thief," and one
of our trio exclaimed, "Oh boy, look
at her go." About a block from us
the woman was finally caught, the
patrol followed and she was hurried
off to the station. The excitement
was great, and we decided not to
wait for a pension but to return to
the hotel. After supper we took a
walk to the Capitol which was beau
tifully illuminated. ' Saturday morn
ing we visited Alt. Vernon. It was a
clear day, just the kind one would
wish for at this place. Alany of our
readers who have taken this same
trip know just what is shown here,
but to those who have never been
there we wish to name just a few
of the buildings and rooms usually
visited.
Tn All Inrcp cities where we went
sight-seeing we Joined the Thomas
Cook and Son party ana in so aoing,
we were able to see more in one day
than we would have been able to see
in a week, without a guide.
Earlv Saturday morning we were
at thp nnint nf startinsr. The large
auto was filled with tourists eager
to visit Alt. vernon, tne nome oi our
first president. As we crossea me
lawn anrl walkpri nn the Well kept
paths and up to the very door where
George Washington himself entered,
we felt that we were almost on sac
red ground. We stood for some time
on the porch which overlooks tne
Potomac river, and even took a few
snapshots. Upon entering the house
we visited the dining room, music
room and Alartha Washington's spin
nine room whpre, vou may see the
old fashioned spinning wheel. After
visiting the twelve rooms which are
open to the public, we entered Alar
tha Washington's kitchen wnere we
were given a chance to purchase sou
venir post cards, which nearly all
did. Upon returning to Washington
wp. made npvprai stons. one at Alex
andria, an old and noted town. After
returning to the city a heavy storm
came up and we had just time
enough to get to the ten cent store
for safety. Sunday morning we at-
nded the First Baptist church and
i the afternoon took a drive to Ar
lington cemetery. We had intended
o visit another church m tne even
ng, but a heavy rain kept us in
doors. Alondav forenoon we spent in
visiting the White House and Capi
tol, and while in the latter, were
vpn thirtv minutes to sit in the
house of representatives and listen
to the various speakers. At noon we
left for Philadelphia and entered the

vs. Hesse was tired and remained
at the hotel while Mrs. Coffman and
I ventured out to call upon a resi
dent whom we were to look up for
others. We found the place- which
was only, about ten miles away, and
after finally finding the correct
house and number, to our great dis
appointment, learned that the peo
ple had Just moved, and in the op
posite direction, so back to our ho
tel we hastened and, reached it after
ten that evening.
" Early the following morning we
booked with the Thomas Cook and
Son company and visited Fairmont
Park and Independence Hall where
we were allowed to touch the old
Liberty Bell. The City Hall has oyer
six hundred offices and enough elec
tric light cord to cover over four
acres of ground. Wanamaker's store
employes eight thousand clerks and
operates two thousand telephones,
and Philadelphia, the third largest
city in the U. S., has 962 churches
and two saloons. After spending
two days in the City of Brotherly
lAe, we hastened on to New York,
our port of embarkation. It would
take a week to tell about the won
derful sights we viewed in th'is, the
largest city in the world. It was
'.our dcslro to visit old Castle Gar
den, where we, as children, entered
America. To do this, we took the
subway and were whizzed along so
rapidly no stations called that be
fore we knew it, we had passed un
der the Hudson river and were in
Brooklyn, miles from No. 1 Broad
way, our destination. Had it not
been for a kind lady we might have
been still riding on that nickel.
These last days were busy ones as
we traveled miles and miles to get
our French and English visa, with
out which a traveler cannot land on
foreign shores. These visas are ten
dollars each. After having our bag
gage transferred, we went to the
dock to view our steamer, the Hom
eric, which we boarded the next day
at eight a. m., but it was ten a. in.
before we reached our stateroom and
eleven o'clock when we said "Good
bye" to the United States. Not until
the ship weighs anchor and the
thousands of fluttering handker
chiefs fade from sight does one real
ize what leaving home shores really
means.
And now for the ship the Hom
eric is the third largest steamer of
the White Star line, the Alajestic,
Olympic and then the Homeric. Af
ter our baggage had been brought to
our room and our belongings put in
to their respective places, we went
up on deck in search of a familiar
face and it seemed everyone else
was there for the same purpose. By
the time this face to face inspection
was over, land was almost lost to
sight. Promptly at noon the larsre
bell rang for dinner and all made
haste to the dining room which was
down one flight of stairs from our
deck. A nice, clean room seating
350 greeted our eyes, white table
cloths, napkins and silverware
sparkled with cleanliness. All seem
ed ready for their first meal, as many
had done as we had eaten a light
breakfast to prevent sea sickness.

seating Just six. Opposite us were a
professor with his wife and a young
man traveling with them through
Bulgaria. All three were from Jer
sey City, N. J. Alost of the first af
ternoon was spent in reading rules
and regulations of the ship and get
ting acquainted. About twelve hun
dred were on board, most of them ex
pecting to spend their vacation
abroad some on business intent and
others for pleasure bound. Soon
there were many congenial groups,
for at sea it is easy to make new ac
quaintances. Our group consisted of
an American professor from Pitts
burg on his way to Paris, returning
the third time to spend the summer
in study; a young man from Chicago
going to Brugg, Switzerland; a
young couple from Syracuse, N. Y.,
for a honeymoon in Switzerland and
a family of four going to Vienna,
Austria; so you see we were eleven
in all. I hear some one say, "How
did you pass the time at sea?"
Breakfast was served at eight a. m.,
and passengers began to arise as
early as four in the morning -we
did, on several occasions, to see the
beautiful sunrise. And until 10:30
a. m. all were expected to remain on
deck or in the reading rooms until
the stewards had finished their work
and inspection. About 10:30 each
day some attendant passes hot bouil
lon and wafers. Dinner is served at
twelve. In the afternoon the pas
sengers write or read or watch the
ever changing beauty of the sea. The
evenings were spent enjoying music,
dancing, card games, etc. One even
ing a concert was given for the bene
fit of the Sailors Home In New York
city. An admission fee of ten cents
netted a neat little sum. All were
invited to take part and if it is true
that "variety is the 6pice of life,"
we had a spicy program. A watched

the log and from the chart it was
