There appears to be a good
deal of difference between the
prohibitionists and the anti-saloon
league. The former refuse
to endorse the work of the latter
and the reason is that the prohi
bitionists are a political party
and the anti-saloon leaguers want
to put down the liquor traffic.

An Old Check Paid
In looking through some old
books last week Peter Kerker
found a check for $4.90 that he
had never cashed. The check
was given by W. T. Banks to E.
Griffin, dated March 9, 1888, and
was drawn on the old Nemaha
City bank, then owned bylNoe &
Early. Mr. Griffin got Mr. Ker
ker to cash the check, endorsing
it. It was found July 9, 1908,
twenty years and four months
after it was issued. The interest
at 8 per cent would amount to
$7.94. Mr. Kerker wrote to Mr.
Banks, who is now at North
Platte, enclosing the check and
the circumstances,
and had ten of Tom's old friends
The Public Schools
It should be understood that
no matter what action is taken
at the special school meeting next
Tuesday night, regarding putting
in a fourth teacher, the tax this
year will be the same, as the
special meeting has no power to
make a change in this respect.
If the fourth teacher is added
and a 25 mill tax is levied, the
additional cost to a farmer whose
land is valued at $100 per acre
for taxable purposes will be just
15 cents per acre more than last
year. As an instance. E. E.
Moore's farm of 111 acres is val
ued at $100 per acre. The as
sessed value is $20 per acre. Last
year the school levy was 17 1-2
mills. If we have a 25 mill levy
this year it will be an increase of

Mrs. C. H. Kindig were elected

study. Frank .Titus and J. A.
stepnenson were appointed a
committee to repair the school
building and were directed to
have the north part of the build
ing spouted and a cistern put in.
. A. Stephenson was appointed
a committee to cut out surplus
trees on the north part of the
grounds. After some discussion
about hiring a fourth teacher it

The school law makes it the

any other meeting has power to
dictate to the board how many
teachers they shall hire. There
has been money enough voted to
pay the expense of four teach

to pay the tax. But the school
