CHURCH NOTES. - The Revival meeting is being well attended by the people of O’Neill. Rev. Wood is a pleasing speaker. He is holding the audience each night with his fine gospel messages. If you hear him once, you will want to hear him again. Meetings will continue throughout this week and all of next week. The Sunday school attendance was one of the largest since this writer has been pastor of this church. It is gratifying to see such fine results of the Sunday school work. The Ladies Aid did a booming land office business at their Chicken Pie Dinner Wednesday evening. They were taxed to the limit to take care of the crowd that came. Rev. L. R. McGaughey and family, of Page, attended the Revival meeting Wednesday. m - BIG DANCE AT EMMET. The Catholic Ladies of Emmet will give a dance at the Emmet Hall on November 21st. A midnight luncheon will be served. Cooper’s four piece orchestra has been engaged for the occasion and that means good music. This will be the last dance in Emmet until after Christmas.

Damage to the extent of about $20, 000 was inflicted on the Christian Home Orphanage at Council Bluffs, Iowa, by floods from excessive rains and cloudbursts on the nights of Sep tember 28 and 29. Every building at this great institution was damaged, the heating, lighting and power plants rendered useless for several days, and the store rooms in the basements of the buildings were flooded and thous ands of dollars worth of supplies ruined. This is the worst catastrophe that has ever befallen this work, and comes as a serious blow when the in stitution was already struggling to free itself of debt. This institution is non-sectarian, receives orphan and destitute children from all parts of the country and is supported entirely by the voluntary contributions of charit able people. It is appealing to the public for a Thanksgiving offering to help overcome the losses by the recent floods and to" meet running expenses in the daily care of two hundred and fifty inmates. We have had calls from those in distress in foreign climes and have responded to them. Here is a good work right here at home that has met serious trouble and is now asking us for help. Let all send something at Thanksgiving and help to put the home of those little children back on its feet. Address The Christian Home Orphonage, Council Bluffs, Iowa. UNDERPAID AT OFFICERS TRAINING CAMPS HAVE MONEY COMING Washington, Nov. 8.—Men who studied in officers’ training camps in the World War and receive! less than $100 a month in pay will be paid the difference between that amount and the salary they actually received in their stay at camp. This is in accordance with a ruling by the comptroller general of the United States that men who attended those camps were entitled to compen sation at the rate of $100 a month, even though many of them held only the rank of private and received the pay of that rank. The proper procedure for men en titled to this additional compensation is to direct a letter to the chief finance officers of the war department, Wash ington, making application for the money due and giving name, serial number, organization, rank, pay re ceived, time and date of service in camp. No application blank is neces sary. Millions of dollars will be paid from the federal treasury as a result of the decision that has been reached. Most of the men in the first and second offi cers’ training camps received compen sation of $100 a month and they have no additional money due them. But the third and fourth camps were made up almost altogether of men who had enlisted or were drafted and had the rank of private. AN EXPLANATION. Following Mr. Boyle’s address at the K. of C. hall November 12, many inquiries have come to the Public Schools regarding the use of Muzzey’s and West’s American Histories in the schools. The general impression left by Mr. Boyle seems to be, that these particu lar American Histories are at present and have been in use as text books in the Publih Schools. Mr. Boyle was in fornffid before the address by the Su perintendent of Schools through Mr. Cecil Conklin just to what extent these history books were being used by the school. # The American History Course as given in the O’Neill High School is the same as that course which is sup posed to be followed ny all accredited Normal Training High Schools in the State. The course is outlined by the State Department of Public Instruct ion. Copies of this oulined are sent to all Normal Training Schools who are required to follow the same in their American History course. This outline does not call for a text but requires reference work in the follow ing American Histories which have been selected by the author of the outline: History of the United States by Beard Advanced American History—Forman New American History—Hart. American History—James and San • ford. Hisory of American People—Mc Laughlin. An American History—Muzzey. History of the American People— West. Short History of the United States— Bassett. 0 History of the United States—Elson American Democracy—West. Our Republic—Forman. - An American History by Muzzey and the History of the American People by West referred to by Mr. Boyle are used only in this capacity. Muzzy’s American History was purchased some years ago and at the time was intro duced as a text, but has not keen so used in the past two years. The High School library possesses only two copies of West’s American History. The schools would be glad to have anyone who is interested in this question visit the American History classes and investigate use of these particular book. E. H. SUHR. . * GEORGE BEHA, JR., OF LINCOLN, SETS PACE FOR COAST DRIVERS Not Quite a Nonstop Drive But Re ports a Performance That Has Not Been Frequently Equalled. Beating the pony express and equalling the time of slow railroad service, George Beha, jr., nephew of W. G. Beha, of O’Neill, completed a Los Angeles to Lincoln drive Friday night. He came limping into Lincoln with a burned out bearing, but he drove the car in just the same. The bearing burned out just eats of Mil ford. Mr. Beha, nindteen-year old son of George Beha, sr., of Lincoln, left Los Angeles Sunday, November 4, at 3:25 a. m. He arrived at Lincoln at 10 p. m. Friday night, as he figures it just five and three quarters days in driv ing approximately two thousand miles. The trip was made in a Ford Coupe. He had twenty-seven punctures en route and had to buy several inner tubes before reaching home, He found his expense for his gasoline, oil and tubes to have been about thirty dol lars. He ate and slept in the car, eat ing but little outside and sleeping part of the nights he did not drive, in Hie seat of the coupe. He had a camping outfit but because of the cold weather he did not use it. He found ice in the desert and rather cold weather coming over the mountains. His speedometer broke down at Trinidad and he got no mileage measure from the car, but he is satisfied he traveled about two thousand miles. Mr. Beha went to Los Angeles in this car July 7. He drove a great deal on the coast going north as far as Portland and making many trips from Los Angeles. His mileage since leav ng home was about eight thousand miles. Mr. Beha drove 410 miles the last of the tip, from a little town away out iii the western edge of Kansas. He came east over the National Trails to Albuquerque, over the Santa Fe trail to McPherson, Kansas, over the Meri dian highway to Fairmont, Nebraska, and over the D. L. D. to Lincoln. He drove from 4 a. m. to 9 and 10 p. m., starting the car east every morning when he awakened. He bought lunches along the road and ate in his car, eat ing but two real meals enroute home. He arrived at Lincoln hone the worse for the wear, a trip that would have taxed the physical energies of many more mature men.
