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. /

EDI CATIONAI. NOTES.
The County Superintendent withi
the winners of the Holt County Spell
ing Contestants drove over to Mitch
ell, South Dakota, on last Thursday,!
April 26, to enter the Inter-state j
Spelling Contest. Ninety contestant*
representing the best spellers of
South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Iowa and Missouri took part in this
contest. They were accompanied by
Miss Elizabeth Sehelkopf, County Su
_3_a if r»*n y-y . i

drove to O'Neill the day before with!
her contestants. ‘While we did noli
bring home the honors, Holt County
nay well be proud of her spellers,!
since they stayed up until very close
to the last. Each of our contestants
received1 a certificate as a Perfect
Speller. In this contest Clay County.
Nebraska, won first place, Douglas
County, Nebraska, second and a
county in South Dakota, third.
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.

CALIFORNIA AND RETURN
BY AUTOMOBILE
On December 15th, R. H. Parker
and J. L. 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*|

Rocks Mountains *ve #iut the engine

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.

pull out on one side of the road when
a cloud hits us and wait until it
passes over to avoid running into
some other car. These clouds are
