Schools Give Comic Operetta : "The Treasure Hunters," a comic 'operetta in two acts, was presented by the High school December 9. It was the first entertainment of thi3 kind given by the Murdock schools. Miss Tool, instructor of the chorus, sponsored the presentation, i The setting of the operetta was on a little Spanish island called Hocus ocus. where it was believed a treas ure lay buried near the shores. Two people are each endeavoring to se cure a certain chart and diving suit r,ecossary to get the treasure. The characters get into endless scrapes, but all turns out satisfactorily. The musical portion consisted of secular numbers. The costuming represented the Spanish dress of th senoritas of old Spain. The pirates might have been taken for old John Silver, barring his wooden leg, and the modern tactics of their proceed ings. This type of entertainment is en couraged by our school faculty in asmuch as music is considered es sential in the school curriculum.

Past experience has proven that the buyers who go. to Omaha looking for bargains at the Holiday season are "disappointed in finding that instead of anything be ing "marked down" as they are often lead to believe, good have actually been marked up. So it behooves ev PTvone to spend their money at home where it will not only do the town some good, but purchase greater values than if added to the coffers of the iVet-Rich-Quick Wallingfords of the metropolis.

ALVO tffft Ch p I 30TJ COMPLAIN OF ROADS Tne travelers into the city today, from Omaha and out in the county, state that the conditions of the roads are very bad and that travel is prac tically impossible and those who get through are suffering a great deal of very disagreeable travel. One auto party from Omaha reached with in a few miles of the city and then had to have their car dragged in by a team and made the return trip on the train.
