THE GOODS THAT SELL.
(The Clay Center Sun.)
A store keeper takes exception to
our statement thnt honest goods are
advertised and justifies his position by
telling us that his goods are honest
even though he doesn’t advrtise. It
is true that he doesn’t advertise, but
a look at his shelves discloses that
they are filled with products of men
who know enough to advertise—men
who have sold him merchandise and
continued to sell him merchandise for
no other reason in the world than
that they advertise it. Hundreds of
tons of oat meal has gone weevilly in
bins which, carried crude pencil signs
giving its selling price as 8 cents per
pound while people were smilingly
buying Quaker Oats and paying a
much higher price because they knew
it was clean and because it was adver
tised. The man who is not sold on
advertising as a necessity in todays
‘commercial world is so far behind the
procession that one wastes time in
arguing with him. Right now. while
you are reading this, scores of small
towns have seen and are seeing pros
perous commercial laundries result
from some washer-woman giving re
ceptive ear to a laundry promotion
scheme recently presented by a com
pany which bases all of its hopes for
success upon proper and prolific pub
licity via the local newspapers.

Good roads or bad—rain

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
The next State Teacher’s Examina
tions will be held at O’Neill, on Sat
urday. July 21. This will be the last
chance for students to complete their
grades for Teacher’s Certificates be
fore school opens.
By some mistake, the name of j
Roger Rosenkrans, avrage of 92 per
cent, District No. 100, was omitted
from the Honor Roll of the Eighth
Grade Graduates. The following are
also added to our list of Eighth Grade
Graduates bringing the total up to
314.
Richard Ellis, Dirtsrict No. 56.
Florence Canaday, District No. 57.
Paul Kruegman, Dirtrict No. 93.
Dorothy Wilkinson, District No. 171
Helen Homolka, District No. 178.
Walter Tomjack, District No. 227.
The law requires that the Eighth
Grade Examination papers be held
60 days after the date of examination.
This time will soon have expired. Any
seventh or Eighth Grader who has
failed to receive either his diploma or
grades or is dissatisfied with the same
should report to this office at once and
give us a chance to clear the matter
up before the papers are destroyed.
We are always glad to duplicate
grades or look up anything which does
not seem to be correct.
As we travel over the country we
are pleased to see school buildings and
grounds being put in order in pre
paration for the new opening of
school. Our county will have cause
to be proud of several new buildings
which are being erected and others
which are being remodeled. In a few
districts the buildings are badly in
need of paint and repair. It is false
economy to put this off from year to
vear. A fresh coat of paint will pre
serve the building and prove worth)
many times its cost, while a small |
time spent in tightening windows and
doors will greatly reduce your fuel
bill and at the same time add comfort
for your children. How pleased the
teacher and pupils are to enter their
school room in the fall and find it
fresh and clean inside. They will take
pride in keeping the room and grounds
neat and will feel more ambitious to
do their best in their school work.
With only a few exceptions both the
city and rural school boards have hir
ed their teachers. We are glad to
learn that a larger number of teach
ers than usual are returning to the
same school. This speaks well for the!
efficiency of our teachers as well as1
showing foresight on the part of the
officers of the school districts. Nearly
every 1928 Normal Trainer who is
entitled to a certificate has contracted
for a school.
Notice has come to this office from
the College of Agriculture that is is
giving a Short Term Course to stu
dents who wish to attend school but
are unable to leave home for so long
during the year. Full credit will be
given for this work. Any boy or girl
interested in these courses please
write to H. E. Bradford, Agricultural
College, Lincoln, for complete infor
mation.
A number of prospective High
Schools are inquiring at this office for
places to work for their room and
board. I would appreciate it if any
persons who may be able to take a
student for the coming school term
would kindly send their name or phone
number to this office and thereby aid
some boy or girl in obtaining an edu
cation.
County Superintendent.
O’NEILL TRIMS ROYAL

game Sunday when they defeated the
Royal team 7 to 3 at the Dykeman
Park northeast of Royal.
The game was not fast but scorn
ed to be played in a listless way from
tho herrinnino' Thu O'Neill team are
credited with six errors all of which
were costly. The three scores that
Royal made were all on errors. The
jynx seemed to be chasing the O’Neill
boys all through the game. Next Sun

O’Neill team will meet on the Creigh
