tained. County Superintendent Rustin re
turned Friday from Lincoln where she
was in charge of Box Butte county's

Although she was unable to secure as
desirable space as she wished still the
exhibit attracted much attention and
was awarded third prize. Considering
the fact that this was the first exhibit
ever entered from this county and the
large number of counties teprcsented it
is indeed a splendid testimonial for our
schools and encouraging to the young
people in their work. Nemaha county
was awarded first place and Gage
second. Mrs. Rustin will try to pre
pare an exhibit that will capture first
prfze next j'ear.
