UNEMPLOYED LABORER
Judge Holmes of Omaha is chair
man of a committee of three who are
doing considerable 'work to find em
ployment for those who are out of
work at this time.
The Judge and his assistants are
sending out the following letter,
which is selr-explanatory:
To the Farmers of the Middle West:
Dear Sirs:
As Municipal Judge of the City of
Omaha, I am daily brought face to
face with the present acute unem
ployment situation and am going to
do what I can in relieving it by offer
ing to send to those of you who could
use the services of a man or men,
someone whom I feel is fitted to do
your work and who is willing to give
you h i s services for the winter
months in exchange for room and
board.
Among the hundreds of men I
come in contact with are a good per
centage, I am sure, who will make
willing workers for someone. So if
you can use such a man or men write
me fully as to what kind of work you
would have him do—dairying, feed
ing, wood chopping or whatever it
may be, and I will try to send you a
man suited to your needs.
To guide me in making these selec
tions of men for you, I will be assist
ed by Henry C. Glissman of Omaha,
Neb., and Charles O’Brien of Ham
burg, la., well-known farmers and
dairymen. They are men with a life
time of experience in dairying and
general farming, and have necessar
ily hired a lot of men and are good
judges of farm labor.
We will do our best to send you
men that are suited to your work
and wish to say there will be no
charge on our part for these services
either to you or to the men, and the
men will come to you with the under
standing that they are to receive
board and lodging only for their ser
vices. Anything that you may give
them more than that will be a dona
tion on your part.
Be free to write me fully and be
assured that I will appreciate any co
operation you may give me in this
plan of unemployment relief.
Please give full directions for
these men to find your home.
Call JA-7315 or WA-2570, Omaha,
any day after 6 p. m.
Yours truly,
GEO. HOLMES,
Judge.
BELOW ZERO JUST ONCE
DURING THE PAST YEAR
Why go to California ? The weath
er throughout this part of the state
has been almost ideal for a year as
far as the cold weather is concerned.
Just once—the night of January 14,
did the mercury fall to below the
zero mark since the night of January
22nd, 1930. The night of January 13,
the thermometer registered one de
gree above zero. We believe that
_ this has been the most pleasant win
I ter that has been experienced here
for many years.

SCOTVILLE DISTRICT HAS
MODERN SCHOOL BUILDING
(By County Superintendent)
Dedication services were held last
Friday evening, January 16th at the
j Scottville school for the new school
) building recently completed in Dis
i trict No. 38.
This new building is a line, mod- j
j ern structure, with a full basement,;
1 and standard in every respect. It
! takes the place of a building that has j
done service for many years and had
really fulfilled its duty to the dis
trict. For several years it had been
much too small to accommodate the
i increasing enrollment of the school.
The new building is very spacious
and is surely a wonderful addition to
any school district. It has a full base
ment with a modern heating plant
and it is arranged with plans for
community gatherings and as a play
j room for the children.
At 8:00 o’clock, parents, teachers,
neighbors, patrons and friends of
youth gathered for the formal dedi
cation services.
A short but well rendered program
was given by the pupils ofthe school
under the direction of their teacher,
Mr. Duane Carson. A quartette com
posed of Claude Pickering, Duane
Carson and the Misses Vera and Wil
na Pickering very ably rendered sev
eral selections. Instrumental music
was furnished by the Pickering orch
estra.
At the close ot the entertainment
program several members of the
board and old settlers and teachers
of the district were called upon.
These included a history of the dis
trict by Joseph Schollmeyer, Sr., a
report of the new building by Wm.
Farrand, the director. Mr. Farrand
reports that there is only a very
small debt remaining on the build
ing.
V. V. Rosenkrans, an old settler,
was an early teacher. His wife also
l taught in the same school. Grandma
; Pinkerman also made a few remarks
I on old times.
Following this the lines of the dedi
cation service were read by County
Superintendent, Luella A. Parker,
! who complimented the school board,
patrons and pupils on their fine build
ing. She also presented them with a
Standardization plate for the school,
which adds District No. 38 to the list
of “Standard Schools” in Holt coun
ty.
Judge C. J. Malone, the speaker of
; the evening, gave a short but inter
esting Efddress in which he brought
out the changes in education and
times and commended the school
board and, patrons on their fine
achievement.
Following this a short entertain
ment was given by Mr. Glenn Ander
son, lecturer and artist. Mr. Ander
son was formerly County Superin
tendent of Wheeler county and is
very much interested in school and
education. Mr. Anderson is a chalk
artist and entertained the crowd with
his crayon drawings of some of the
patrons while he gave his talk.
At this time all retired to he base
ment where a delicious lunch was
awaiting them.
At a late hour they departed for
their respective homes, pleased and
proud of their achievements in this
fine structure, and well they may be.
It is a building deserving of praise.
Mr. Duane Carson is the teacher,
and the school board members are
Mr. William Farrand, director; Mr.
Chas. Richter, moderator, and Mr.
Joseph Schollmeyer, Sr., treasurer.

HEARING ON COUNTY AGENT
QUESTION WEDNESDAY
Whether or not Holt County will
have a county agent, will be decided
after the hearing before District
Judge Dickson which is scheduled to
be heard next Wednesday, January
28th.
The Farm Bureau Board present
ed their petition last fall, asking for
a county agent. At a meeting of the
old Board soon after the first of the
year, the County, Board turned down
the application for the reason that
they were not satisfied that the peti
tion contained a legal number of ac
tual dirt farmers and for the further
reason that the finances of the coun
ty were low.
The Farm Bureau Board then man
damussed the Board and Judge Dick
son has set the hearing for Wednes
day as stated above.

THINK BONES FOUND
AT CENTER THOSE OF
PRE-COLUMBIAN INDIANS
(Omaha World-Herald)
George Van Every, of O’Neill,
foreman of a crew of workmen build
ing a 10 mile stretch of state high
way between Center and Verdigre,
thinks skeletons of Indians recently
unearthed three and one-half miles
west of Center are a small part of an
extensive burial mound that may
date back to pre-Columbian times.
The bones were unearthed by the
blade of a large ditcher. At least
eight, and possibly twelve skeletal
remains were found. Van Every be
lieves the find a valuable one for
those interested in the prehistoric
Indian.
“One skull is abnormaly large; the
jaws are remarkably massive and
square. Judging from these and oth
er material facts, I suppose he stood
seven feet high and weighed around
three hundred pounds.
This burial ground is on ideal site
for the purpose. The hill is flat
crowned, fairly large, of dense clay
material, and isolated.
At first, we thought we had un
earthed the bones of a party of Black
Hills gold seekers, but squirrels and
Indians are the only creatures on
earth whose bones are red. Every
bone of the hundreds we found near
Center have that red hue.”
