DO YOU HAVE A HOBBY?
Editor ... .Ambrose Rohde
By Ambrose Rohde, Editor.
What is your hobby? Maybe you
don’t have one, but if not, why not?
A person who is busy with his special
hobby during his leisure time has his
mind occupied and can also enlarge
his thinking capacity.
The beauty of a hobby is that the
market is not overrun with them and
best of all, there are a great number
of things from which to choose.
During the past years, with the com
ing of the radio into such common use
there are quite a few people who be
come very interested in it. Some wish
only to try and hear from as long a
distance as possible. Others are more
interested in building sets and still
appapp—————————
others like best just, to “listen in.”
Then there are many young people,
as well as old, interested in collect
ing stamps. President Harding was
one of these and in his honor the gov
ernment issued a two-cent stamp.
I think the best hobby to engage in
is making friends and keeping them.
Think what it means to have not only
a friend, but friends and plenty of
them. This is a hobby that will last
for year.? and best of all its interest
never ends. A good policy to follow
iji this hobby is to remember that
“the only way to have friends is to be
one.”
COMMERCIAL GEOGRAPHY.
We will have a motion picture show,

“The Telephone Saves
In a Dozen Ways”
“The telephone saves us time and money in a dozen
different ways ... we would not think of getting
along without the telephone,” says a Midwesterner.
Americans are quick to endorse labor and time sav
ers .. . the automobile, up-to-date farm machinery,
radio, telephone ... all of which are developments
of science and large business organizations.
This Company, which furnishes a substantial part of the
telephone service in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota is one of 24 Associated Companies of
the Bell System ... a nationwide system of commu
nication.
The Lell Companies and many others which connect
with them are all linked together to provide a national
service. Because the whole Bell System stands behind
your telephone you are assured or being able to talk
clearly and quickly not only with neighbors, but with
people tnroughout the nation.

March 8th. The name of this picture
is, “Lead Mining and Milling."

States Department of Commerce, Bu
reau of Mines, located at Pittsburg,

New York, or from the Department of
Commerce of the United States.
PHYSICS.
By Charles Graham
Class work in Physics now consists
of the stead! and oil engines.
An interesting experiment which
some of the class worked, was filling
a glass tube with water. Ice was
dropped to the bottom and held there
i by a spring. The-top of the tube was
heated until the water boiled while the
j ice remained at the bottom. This
! shows that water is a poor conductor
1 of heat.

tained a weekly grade of “90” each

LOCAL SPELLING CONTEST.
The local spelling contest will be
| held on March 8th at the O’Neill High
School auditorium. The entries will
be from a few rural schools and the
O'Neill Public School. The spelling
contest will be held in groups, the first
and second grades will spell together,
the third and fourth grades, the fifth
and sixth grades, the seventh and
eighth grades and the ninth and tenth
grades. The winners will compete in

“Rabbit’s foot and spidah aigs
Keep the kink pains outen laigs.
Graveyard clay in top o’shoe
No harm comes from ole Voodoo.”
“In the long ago robbers and mur
derers lighted fires that lured travel
ers to destruction. Many a wayfarer,
wear, burdened, often distressed,
took heart as he saw what seemed to
be a friendly light. With high hopes
and renewed courage he quickened his
step only to find misery, suffering and
in many instances death lurking be
hind what had become a baleful
gleam.”
Patent medicines kindle false bea
cons for the actual sufferer and for
those who think they are sick. For
tunes are made out of preparations
that claim to cure nearly every ail
ment under the sun.
A book published in 1856 has for
its title “The Long Lost Friends:A col
lection of mysterious Arts and Reme
dies for Man as well as animals with
many proofs of their virtue and effi
cacy in healing diseases.” According
to this book “Whoever carries the
right eye of a wolf fastened inside his
right sleeve remains free from in
jury.” Haven’t all of us wished for
eyes, front, back, and side when cross
ing some city streets?
The following remedy for toothache,
according to the author of the book
has been “vouched for by countless
ones.” “Cut a piece of greensward
(sod) in the morning before sunrise,
breathe three times upon it, and put
it down in the same place from which
it was taken.” Do you suppose that
was “Patented?”
Here’s another:
“From angle worms we get worm
oil, its smell would make you dizzy.
But its sure to ease the joints of
folks thats rheumatizy.”
Have we gone so far ahead? We’ll
consider our 1929 nostrums next week.
