THE BURNING BUSH The daughter of Pharoah "Egyp tian king," Took her servants to the Nile for a bath; They heard the cry of an in fant ring. So sent her servants to appease its wrath. In a slimy ark of mud and straw, Was a chubby young child, That the Hebrews had placed because of the law, That was promulgated and re cently filed. To stop the increase of the He brew race, Since the Egyptians had failed to keep up the pace. The princess gave this boy a name, Which has been recorded in the halls of fame; For it will, like the "Burning Bush" stand, A Moses who led to the promised land. Moses fled from his country clear, And to the land of Midean flew; Because he defended one of his peer, The Egyptian hatred grew. In the land of Midian near a mount; lie led his flock close, by A quiet pool or bubbling fount; Where the voice of no wolf had been heard to cry. Then in that quiet secret place, He saw a burning bush apace, And drawing close to presume He discovered the leaves and branches did not consume. From a voice In the bush he was summoned to repair, To Egypt to freo hi3 people from despair. In obedience to the call, in desperation he goes. To free the Hebrews from their distress and woes. Mose3 led Israel through the sands of the sea, Then plunged into the desert rife. Where a burning bush or a perrenial tree, Might quiet their fears and set tle their strife. We all shall reach that Horeb height. Of the Midian land of fame. That burning bush still flashes it3 light. To guide us through the dismal swamps of sence and shame. TO THE VOTERS OF THE 1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT I want to thank you for the sup port you gave me In the recent elec tion. I feel highly gratified to have received almost 44,000 vote3 the first tima in my life I ever ran for public office. Now that the election is over it is our duty as American citizens to forget partisanship and assist those chosen by the people to bring Amer ica back to prosperity. Thanks. MARCUS L. POTEET. CARD OF THANES I desire to express to my friends in the third ward a deep appreciation of their support and confidence In my election as assessor of the third ward. A. J. SNYDER.

The attendance record for the first quarter for the student3 of Platts mouth high school has just been checked and the very good showing has been made by each class, especial ly in the Junior and Senior classes with the possibility of improvement in the Sophomore and Freshman classes. 55 of the members of the Senior class were not absent during the first nine weeks while the Jun iors had a record of 52 with per fect attendance. The Sophomores and Freshmen dropped considerably low er, the Freshmen being in third place with 41 perfect atendance, and the Sophomores last with only S5 per fect attendance. Regular attendance in classes has a marked effect upon the type of scholastic work done in most cases, and students and parents are becoming convinced that regular attendance is as important as regu lar study. The following is the list of people in each class who have perfect at tendance for the first quarter. It is hoped that many other names will bo added to this list at the end of next quarter.

GREENWOOD STATION ROBBED The Standard Oil station at Green wood was robbed early Sunday morn ing by three bandits who also bound the night attendant, F. Winther, and made their escape. The robbers se cured the sum of $13.99 in cash, as well as some tobacco and candy. The station is located on the DLD highway and the escape of the ban dits was an easy matter as the rob bery was not discovered until some time after they had fled. It Is believed that the three are the same men who held up a driver of an auto In the north section of Omaha, after firing several shots at the car to compel it to stop. The men In the Greenwood rob bery were of medium height. One wore a gray overcoat and the other a leather Jacket and cap. The third member of the party stood guard out side the station. The robbers were driving a light sedan and in which they made their escape.
