i Starts Instantly! This Instant Light Preheater notv on all models i Maksltfieir own Gas j This new Coleman Instant Light Preheater is one of the most remarkable inventions and improvements ever put on any type of liquid fuel stove. It does just what its name implies—lights instantly. All you have to do is touch a lighted match to it, open a valve and its going right now. In less than a minute from the scratch of the match, it generates the stove to full cooking heat—any amount or degree of heat you want for any kind of cooking. You don't have to preheat this starter with a couple ' of matches or with a torch—no generating of any kind. It starts going the minute you scratch a match and turn a valve or turn a valve and scratch a match —either way you do it is right—you can't go wrong —you can’t flood it. There are starters and starters but there is none like Iho Coleman. It’s different, new and orig inal. It’s on all models of Coleman Cooker Stoves— from the beautiful white porcelain enamel range, clear down to three-burner black enamel hot plate. Come in and see it work. / 4 Warner & Sons THE ROYAL THEATRE’ Home of Good Pictures -Thursday, Friday, Saturday - May 3—4—5 Big Super Special “WHAT PRICE GLORY" (Bigger than “Big Parade" with Victor McLeglen, Edmund Lowe, Dolores Del Rio and a superb cast. - Sunday, Monday, May 6-7 - Dolores Costello in “OLD SAN FRANCISCO’ Trapped in a Chinatown den while! flames sweep the city. - Tuesday, May 8th -— Florence Vidor and Gray Cooper in "DOOMSDAY” 1 am young.

The grades have been sent out from the first Eighth Grade Examina tion. If any pupil has not received a ,rrade in any subject in which he took the examination, will you please write to this office immediately. The sec ond examination will be held on Thursday and Friday, May 10 and 11. A new project is being tried out in the Normal Training classes of the county this year. Graduate Normal Trainers are being placed in the rural! schools to do actual teaching fori several days under the direct super vision of a good teacher. St. Mary’s and the O’Neill Public School Normal Trainers were out last week. They report a very profitable week spent. We feel that this will give the gradu ate actual experience and bring them into direct contract with the problems which they must meet later. This, plan has been tried out very success-! fully. District No. 5(3, Miss Hendricks, teacher, held a rather unique program and pie social last week. The pro- i gram was put on by the patrons of the district instead of by the school children as is the general rule. Each adult member of the district took some part. There was a large attendance and everyone reported a good time. The proceeds, which netted $14.00, will be spent for gas light for the school. The districts of Sand Creek pre cinct are planning a program consist ing of a Declamatory Contest and a Spelling Contest to be held on Friday evening, May 4th at the Celia School House, District No. 74. All schools in this precinct are entering these con tests. The patrons are much inter :ested apd it promises to be a very [successful undertaking. The county eighth grade examina tion in history will be given on Fri day morning instead of Thursday afternoon as the schedule shows. County Superintendent.

McNabb pulled the anchor land started in the Parker Sedan for , Long Beach. The thermometer showed about zero and snowing some that morning and i many people thought we would not i get to first base, and asked that wc send back an S. O. S. when snowed in We took a direct South route down through Kansas, into Oklahoma. After %'isiting a day in Oklahoma with some relatives of McNabb, we started through Texas and on to El Paso on the Border line between the j United States and Old Mexico. We crossed the Rio Grande River into Old Mexico and spent a day and some money in Juarez, commonly j Warez, Old Mexico. After leaving Texas, we went I through Deming, New Mexico, and I 'followed the Border line between the [United States and Old Mexico through 'the State of New Mexico and into Ari I zona. Near Phoenix, Arizonia, we visited the Roosevelt Dam, which 1 think i* ■ ithe largest irrigation dam in the- j ■ world. We drove across on top of the dam i and this lam is about 300 feet high! or three times as high as our wat*T' I Stand pipe in O’Neill. The road over the top of the dam might be considered duiigerom* by: ' some, but we drove it with ease, al*| it hough Jim had one foot on the run i oing board ready for a jump. Cluing down the West Slope of the! Rocks Mountains *ve #iut the engine [off ami let the ear eo it, using •hej brake* oera*io»ally aim we coasted! 1 nine mile* In one stretch. We were too far south for snow and road ooieution* were very good along the Southern Hordei of the United States. When in Phoenix, Arizonia, we vis itd some O'Neill, Nebraska, people. We passed through Yuma, Arizo na. and Yuma has a rcord of being the hottest place in the United States, and it takes a long thermometer to register the heat. I once saw the heat at 120 degrees, and they say it reaches 150 degrees. Water in the radiator of an automo boile would boil with the ear parked i at the curb. Leaving Yuma, Arizona, we enter ed California through the Imperial Valley, a won lerful irrigated valley. Then on to San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Long Beach. We were fourteen days making the trip to California. Beached California in about 2500 miles travel. On our road we counted more than | 40 automobiles along the highway that were total wrecks, either from collision or falling off the road, and sometimes the fall is nearly half a mile down the side of a mountain. Some cars catch fire while running, and burn on the highway. We also saw one aeroplane that was a total wreck close to the high way. After reaching California, we toured; California for some time. McNabb landed a job at about $10 per day and decided to remain, and who could blame him; and besides all of that, there was a girl with a large Sedan showing him around so much that 1 seldom got to see him during the last thirty days. After being in California about four month, 1 started for good old Nebraska, and another Nebraska real estate man with me. Left California on April 11th and took nineteen days in driving back and making side trips. Visited Grand Canyon, which is one! of the seven Wonders of the World, and where one can look a mile and a quarter down to the river below, and where it takes a seven-mile trip on a burrow to ride down to the river. After visiting the Grand Canyon, the next scenic place was the Petri fied Forest of Arizona. Two days was spent there awl I have some nice specimens of the petrified trees in my office. Then into New Mexico, stopping at Albuquerque, and Santa Fe. Town of Santa Fe is very ancient,! its early history dating back to Span ish Grants and a great curiosity is the early Spanish Missions, established nearly 350 years ago, when the Priests built Missions to civilize the Cliff Dwellers and other tribes who existed then but are nearly extinct now. A great many of these land j marks still remain. Santa Fe was inhabited and these Missions built and conducted long be fore Nebraska was a State.
