Enjoy a Trip to
the Mountains
John Cloldt and Son and John Urish
Find Pleasant Journey Through
Midwest Mountains.
John J. Cloidt and son, John, Jr.,
and John Urish of this city, have
Just returned from a very pleasant
motor tour that had taken them
through much of the mountain sec
tions of the middle west, including
the Black Hills and Estes Park.
Leaving here the party drove to
Sioux City over highway No. 75 and
then swung west into South Dakota,
with Mitchell as their first stop and
where they - rested and had their
first glimpses of the Dakotas. They
then drove to Kimball and thence
south to Winner. They had three
days of rain on the trip and found
it raining at Winner where it has
-been extremely dry for the past few
years. In going from Winner the
party visited the Bad Lands country
where varied colored earth deposits
makes a very brilliant scene. At
Rapid City the party enjoyed a rest
and found a temperature of 30 above
zero in the high climate to greet
them.
Their jouTney then took them
farther into that section of "the
hills" rich in the history of the
west and at Deadwood and Lead they
found many places of interest includ
ing the graves of "Calamity Jane,"
"Wild Bill" Hickok. "Preacher"
Smith and other characters of the
early days of the gold rush. At
Deadwood they stopped at a cabin
ramp known as the Billings Camp,
and in conversation with the lady in
charge learned that this large camp
was operated by Louis "Chub" Bill
ings, a former resident here and who
has many of these camps through
the VHills." just opening one at
Belle Fourche.
They found the trip through Wyo
ming very interesting with stops at
Newcastle and Torrington,. before
reaching Cheyenne, where they spent
some time. They found Cheyenne a
most interesting Bpot and particular
ly the state museum In the capitol
building where is preserved much
historic data of the state. The party
then motored on to Fort Collins,
Loveland and Estes Park. The stay
Sat the park was one of most
pleasant incidents of the trip and in
its beauty they spent several days.
Denver, the mile high city, was
like a homecoming to the Platts
. mouth party as when calling on Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Wooster, they found
Mrs. Jennie Nelson, formerly Jen
nie Ohm of this city and later Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Ohm called to en
Joy a visit. Mr. Cloidt also called
on Frank Chaloupka, an old time
friend here in . boyhood days.
They had then visited ' Colorado
Springs and a trip to Pike's Peak
and the surrounding territory, as
well as visiting Broadmoor, laid out
by the well known millionaire,
George Penrose and where all that
wealth could procure has gone into
making this a place of charm and
beauty. "
On the return to Denver the mem
bers of the group were dinner guests
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wooster.
a very fine time being enjoyed before
the start back home to Nebraska.
On the way back the party came by
woy of Julesburg and North Platte.
The wheat in Colorado is excel
lent Mr. Cloidt reports, but in the
trip through Nebraska the corn look
ed dry and bad until reaching the
east section of the state.

Opportunity Knocks Twice
and More v
Dew still clung to the tender grass
as Howard and half a dozen other
boys walked through the yards of
the industrial school on their way to
the gardens, where all morning they
would hoe rows of young vegetables.
"What are you in for?" they asked
Howard, for he was a newcomer
"Stealing cars."
"Wise guy, huh? Didn't you get
caught with the first one?"
"Yes, I did get caught, but they
put me on probation."
"Probation? You mean they gave
you a chance, and you didn't go
straight?"
"Why, yes. Didn't they put you
on probation?" Howard was astound
ed. "No. they slammed me right in
this can as soon as they got me.
If I'd had the chance you had, I'd
never have done anything bad
again."
"Nor . me, nor me, nor me," the
rest took up the chorus.
Noon found Howard among a dif
ferent group at the '-dining table,
where much tbesanie thread of con
versation ran through the meal.
Spring drifted into summer, sum
mer into fall, and Howard came to
realize that none of the inmates had
been given the opportunities that he
had let slip through his fingers.
There had not been much about
Howard's home life to encourage him
to prove himself. His father was a
plodder, slow-witted, a heavy drink
er, but a hard-enough worker. His
mother, between whom and Howard
there existed a close bond of affec
tion, was burdened with the cares
of her large family.
-A handsome, intelligent boy, How
ard brooded constantly about the dis
cord at home. Since he had no as
sociations with any organized recrea
tional group, not even a church af
filiation, we described the Boy Scouts
to him. Six weeks later, though, he
expressed a desire to. withdraw;- an
unusual ' request, 4 for; rarely .does

bad a nice trip to Linoma Beach,
where they enjoyed swimming and

morning and returned Friday.
Mr. John Mefford, who suffered a
stroke, passed away last Wednesday
morning. Funeral services were held
at the Christian church Friday af
ternoon. Burial was in the Green
wood cemetery. j
est. However, the leader of that par
ticular troop was so encumbered with
business cares that after 12-hours-a
day struggle to make a living he had
little time or energy for Scouting.
The pastor of the church which
the parents sid they would prefer
if compelled to make a choice, visited
the family and induced them to at
tend. From his parishioners he so
licited for Howard clothing now out
grown.
Four months after stealing his
first automobile, Howard was appre
hended for a very petty theft. This
time when the parents were cited to
appear in court, the Judge sentenced
the father, who' was really respon
sible for the boy's waywardness, to
Jail at hard labor the maximum per
iod permitted by law.
A "big brother" visited Howard
often, took him fishing, to play golf,
to see baseball games. Not one of
five busy people, who interested
themselves in him and whose time
could profitably have been spent
otherwise, was ever able in sixteen
months of honest effort to pierce the
shell into which Howard withdrew
himself. When he stole another car,
there seemed no remedy but to com
mit him to industrial school.
Paroled at the end of the mini
mum period, he sought out the three
persons who had given him so many
opportunities to avoid commitment-
the judge, the minister, the "big
brother." He told them, each in
turn, the gist of the conversation
with which this story opens. He was
an ingrate, he declared, and he vowed
he would succeed to please those
who once had high hopes for him.
He fulfilled his determination. As
a foreman in the upholstering divis
ion of a large furniture factory, he
is today the sole support of his
mother. His father has not been
heard from in the past six years.
