How prone we are to find fault.
Instead of looking for the good qual
ities of our fellowmen and noticing
their commendable works, we often
magnify their petty shortcomings
and permit a small evil to overshad
ow a great good. Humanity seems
more inclined to believe an attractive
falsehood than a plain, simple truth,
and people in general are quick to
repeat little things “they have heard”
about this man or that woman, per
haps adding their own construction to
the incident. In numerous instances
the person under discussion and con
demnation is not even personally
known to the retailers of gossip.
For example, not long ago a gen
tleman, touring certain portions of
the country in a luxurious motor car
of foreign make, stopped in a small
town to enable his chauffeur to sup
ply the car with gasoline and oil, put
additional air in the tires, etc. While
this was being done, the man spent
the time in walking about the town.
Returning in about a half hour he
was quite surprised to find a large
crowd gathered about his car, eyeing
it with mingled expressions, as the
natives had probably never before
seen a Rolls Royce. The owner quiet
ly slipped into the crowd and listen
ed to the various expressions of
opinion. One person said: “Well, only
a bootlegger or a politician can own
a car like that.” This, of course,
brought a general laugh from the
throng and encouraged other bright
evidences of rural humor. In fact,
the owner’s character was complete
ly dissected and he learned surpris
ing things about himself from people
who had never met him personally
and who knew nothing about his
identity. This is but a homely illus
tration to show that at the root of
A BOY’S best friend may be his

nearly all fault finding and adverse
comment, there is a deplorable ignor
ance of actual facts.
The same holds good in regard to
the comment about the extravagant
expenditures of the O’Neill School
Board. Statements have been made
relative to an outstanding bonded in
debtedness of fifteen to twenty thous
and dollars against the district at the
present time, of the “supposed”
plans of the Board to spend $8,000
for the repair of the present heating
plant, and a further expenditure to
build an addition to the present plant
including a “Swimming Pool.” The
peculiar aspect of the above state
ments is the ease with which anyone
could check the truth of such reports
if he only cared to take the time and
a very little trouble. Some of the
facts are as follows: The repair of
the heating plant is an imperative
need and the Board will probably de
cide that something must be done
during the coming summer; but
while the matter has been discussed,
no definite conclusions have been
reached and no action has been taken.
In regard to an addition to the pres
ent building, such a proposition has
not been considered, and I dare say
that a “swimming pool” had not en
tered the mind of a single member of
the Board; to say the least, the mat
ter has never been mentioned at a
Board meeting. The rumor concern
ing the outstanding bond issue is
really laughable when one stops to
consider it more carefully. All infor
mation about such matters can be
checked, officially, through a visit, or
even a telephone call, to the office of
the County Clerk. As a matter of
fact there is, at the present time, a
bonded indebtedness of only $8,000
against the School District and there
is a sum ol $3,000 already on hand in
the County Treasurer’s office which
will be paid on the first of April,
1930; this will leave a bonded debt of
only $5,000.00.
I have been a member of the School
Board for three years, and Secretary
during the past year; I feel for these
reasons that I know more about what
money is being spent than any other
member. The Board has been conser
vative as shown by the fact that our
levy is below the average for schools
of our size, and our average salaries
for both the grade and high school
teachers is below the average.
Under the intangible tax law, by a
decision of the Supreme Court in
1928, the School District was compel
led to refund $1,248.91 to the banks.
Since this money had to be paid back
at the same time that the assessed
valuation of the district was decreas
ed by the amount of intangible prop
erty, it really meant that the sum
i available at a given tax rate would
be short just about double the above
item or about $2,500.00. In other
words, it was necessary to make this
refund to the banks for the intang
ible tax collected from them during
j the previous year, at the same time
[that the assessed valuation was cle
creased by the amount of the intang
ible property within the district.
The O’Neill High School is the
only one in Holt County which is
accredited by the North Central As
sociation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools, which is the highest rating
that a secondary school may attain.
The accreditnient facilitates the en
trance of a pupil to any college in
the United States with a minimum
of required examinations. This North
Central standing is a badge of high
quality which is comparable to pedi
grees in stock raising or to the stamp
of a trade name in business,, such as
the name “Sunkist” in the orange in
dustry. At the time O'Neill was ad
mitted to the North Central Associa
tion, some twenty-one schools were
making application, but only two
wire accepted that year. O’Neill and
Chappell. The O'Neill Public School
was brought into the North Central
Association during the administra
tion of Dr. Carter and myself as
members of the Board and to those
who are interested in a school of this
standing, 1 feel that we are entitled
to the support of every citizen who
want the best for his children and
I pledge myself to do all in my pow
er to maintain this high standard of
efficiency.
For the civic pride of our commun
ity let us not permit a backward
step; let us also remember that we
cannot remain stationary; we must
either go forward or backward. Kach

Oil is not only the fastest selling oil in Conoco
history ... it is establishing a new high mark
in public acceptance . . . By a wholly new
characteristic, Penetrative Lubricity, this
motor oil is attracting motorists from other
brands with a quickness unprecedented in
the oil world . . . this would not be possible
if this oil were not the finest and safest motor
lubricant yet introduced.
It is the Germ Process which gives Conoco
the essential points of superiority that make
possible these things: 769o less motor wear;
reduced carbon formation; lowered operat
ing temperatures; greater gasoline mileage;
resistance to dilution; and instant lubrication
at the first touch of the starter.
1 he derm Process adds to a supremely fine
paraffin base oil, a precious oily essence- lack
ing in aH other oils. This makes possible the
metal-penetrating safety factor that \vc call
“Penetrative Lubricity.” Try this new oil
