Many a Man
Owes His Success
to the Building
of a home because it has served
as an anchor and kept him in
a straight line and away, pos
sibly, from the many "get rich
quick" schemes which are so
plentiful today and which so
often mean riches only for the
smooth tontfued promoters
thereof. By investing W YOUR
HOME TOWN you are dealing
with values and people with
whom you are acquinted
people who are interested in
your welfare because your
success means the success of
others about you, and the
more successful citizens a
town can boast of the better
place it will be. All the lum
ber we have in our yards was
purchased with the view of
giving our customers honest
values, and when you decide
to build we want to tell you
more about our methods.

ST. AGNES ACADEMY
School Will Open on Tuesday, Sep
tember 5th. With Bright
Prospects
WILL BE LARGE ATTENDANCE
Tuesday, September 5th, la the
day set for the opening of school at
St. Agnes Academy. Tuesday Is sel
ected as the opening day Instead of
Monday In order that students from
a distance may come on Monday and
be present on the opening day.
The Indications are that the at
tendance the coming year will be
much larger than any previous year.
This is expected, not only because
the attendance has increased each
year since the school was established,
but also because of the many In
quiries that have been received dur
ing the summer. Tt Is fortunate that
the Academy now has ample facili
ties to accommodate the large num
ber of students that enroll. The
large new addition to the building
which was Just being completed at
the close of the last school year Is
now well equipped, giving additional
dormitory, music rooms and gymnas
ium, as well as more room for other
purposes.
In addition to the twelve grades
carried in the public schools, includ
ing the four years' High school work,
a Commercial department and a
Music and Arts department are
maintained, and to each of these
special attention is given. So far as
we know there Is no school in Ne
braska outside of Lincoln and Its
suburbs and Omaha that has a bet
ter equipped musical department.
The Commercial department is also
especially strong. Persons who ex-
petit to enter the Commercial course
this fall are requested to enroll this
eek
