(Continued.) WORLD HISTORY. By Helen Givens This week in European History, we are reviewing England from its ear liest history to 1600. About the first time Britain was heard of Julius Ceasar made the first invasion. Several hundred years later the Saxons conquered it. These peo- j pie were of a very barbarous type j thus, keeping England from progress-; ing. Years later we have Alfred thej THE ROYAL THEATRE Home of Good Pictures - Thursday, March 7th - Lina Basquette, Bessie Barriscale andj Robert Armstrong in “SHOW FOLKS” Berry Revellers in this splendid ro-j mance of love behind the scenes. 10c Night. - Friday-Saturday, March 8-9 BIG SPECIAL—GENE STRATTON PORTER’S “FRECKLES” Gene Stratton—Porter’s most thril ing and beautiful character, authenti cally portrayed on the screen. -Sunday.Monday.

I I Great who started some headway for I progress. In 106G William of Nor I mandy conquered England from the Anglo-Saxons thus bringing French i influence in. About this time the Feudal System had made much head way over Europe. The governments were poor which made it more possible to be more easily conquered. King William set up a more efficient central government but England was lighting for liberty. The Tudor kings came in about this time. Among these were Henry II and Edward I, two great lawgivers among the English kings. King John came in between King Henry and King Edward. Through some misrule he was forced to give a Magna Carta or in other words a set of laws. We have some of these rules, in addition to others, in our country today. Several hundred years later England was in war with France. It was mainly a struggle between kings for more territory. England nearly de stroyed France. This was in the Hundred Years war and at this time the plague, Black Death, was killing people in all parts of Europe. This was the hardest on the serfs and vil leins thus starting the decay of serf dom in England. All opportunities were open for England to progress. iNew teacmngs ot religion, art, science, and literature were found. Parliment was gaining great power. In about 1485 the Henry line of kings was be coming prominent. During Henry VIII’s reign little progress occurred. His daughter, Elizabeth, was known to be the greatest queen of all time. With the characteristics of her father and those of her mother, Anne Baleyn, she made great success of her rule which lasted forty-five years. The Church of England was founded dur ing King Henry’s reign. In 1600, England was a true protestant country The furniture, which is very very antique to us now, was made during the ages of the Renaissance or this period of history. It all has some history connected with it. It is found to be very artistic and beautiful. We are giving interesting reports on the different Kings and wars of England European History is noth ing but a continued story and we all enjoy it.

Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Barnes and son, Donald, entertained relatives at their home Monday. Walter Rics and sister, Henrietta, visited their sister, Mrs. Hans Rogue Monday evening. Mrs. Lessaman, of Atkinson, is spending a few days with her daughter, Mrs. Tena Winkler. Mrs. Charlotte Kidle and sister of Omaha were over night visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Cone last week. For the lack of pupils Henrietta Dexter finished her school in District 152 on Friday. Luncheon was served. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Strong and son, Eugene Francis, were dinner guests of his sister, Mrs. Melvin Kling ler and Melvin of O’Neill, Sunday. CELIA ITEMS. Mr. Frickel, the hustling Celia farmer, marketed six truck-loads of hogs in Atkinson, Saturday. Mrs. Johnson invited several friends and neighbors down for dinner Sun day, and was successful in welcoming them in this time. The weather was very threatening in the morning, but moderated. The guests gave the goose a smooth sailing in the repast, but by the time they were through it showed rough handling. The weatherman has made some queer demonstration this week and there has been some wonderful trans formation as well, every day for a few days, has started with considerable blustering, wind and snow, but by noon the Match Lion has been transformed into the Meekest, Mellowist Spring Lamb you ever saw. There is no new snow and the old snow melted fast. A piece of road in our community about 40 or 50 rods long has caused the traffic considerable trouble, being covered with one to two feet of snow. The latest victim being Mr. Lauridson and wife, who driving out to the ranch got stuck and had to be helped out, A.fter being released out of the pre dicament he decided to detour, but on crossing a ditch something went wrong with the car and could not get out. It had to be left and Mr. Lauridson walk ed home. This correspondent and a few other neighbors enjoyed through the kind ness of the Greenwoods, listening to the inauguration over their radio Monday. The program came in clear and distinct, as did also the program given at President Hoover’s home town in California. Johnson and Green wood were somewhat disappointed when the names were read, of the members of the president’s cabinet, since it did not include theirs. An oversight, evidently, by the president. CELIA ITEMS. (Received too late for last week.) The sale of Mrs. Keidel, Tuesday, was pretty well attended and things sold, brought good prices. The cold weather has moderated somte, but there is still a great surplus of winter left to contend with. A nice pile of wood was sawed up at Johnson’s Wednesday, which is quite a relief to Mrs. Johnson, who generally had to wield the ax when she wanted to burn wood. The community truck, on coming home from town with a load of feed, Wednesday, enjoyed the privilege of getting stuck in the snow on the main road west of the cemetery and was kindly assisted by a neighbor who pulled it out with a team. Charlie Kuler, living over on the south side of the Niobrara river, had a severe fall from the wagon in which he was riding Wednesday of last week, injuring his back and had to be car ried to the house and is recovering very slowly. PerryBarnes, who lives near him, brought the news over. Ray Aldridge, a brother-in-law of Mr. Kuler, returned with Barnes to assist the Kulers, who were moving at the time. It seems the accident happened in turning a comer. The wagon skid ded from under him tripping him over the low side of the box. Another accident happened to our neighbor, Greenwood the other day in which it was more luck than manage ment that he got out of it as well as he did. On coming down to Johnson’s horseback to help saw wood the horse was suddenly startled by the report of a gun shot by a neighbor who was out hunting. The horse got so scared it strated to buck and run, pitching Greenwood ofF onto the hard ground knocking the wind out of him for a while. The horse was caught and Mr. Greenwood proceeded on his way, but on reaching his destination was unable to work. Being red headed and of Irish stock he was not laid up though, but has been able to do his work right along. The horse is for sale cheap. Johnson had quite a disappoint ment Saturday. It being a nice day one could be out and work with the coat ofF. Johnson has been dreaming about the manufacturing of a snow plow for several years and decided that Saturday would be the proper day to make it, so went ahead and by night had the real thing made, but while he wras working the snow was thawing and by night there was no snow to plow, it was about finished too. Looking for sympathy in town Wednesday, in this peculiar disap pointment, he was assured by Mr. Whistler that there would be plenty snow yet in which to try it out in. In the meantime it will stand as a threat ening menace to deep snow and bad roads. _ Esther Rustemeyer will take the photos at the O’Neill l’hoto Co. Studio this year.
