EDUCATIONAL NOTES
Due to the fact that the third of
April falls on Good Friday, the Holt
County Spelling Contest has been
postponed until Friday evening, April
10th. Because of inclement weather
and bad roads last Friday, many of
the preliminary spelling contests
were postponed until some day this
week. Reports of winners have not
yet come in. They will be published
next week.
The date of the Eighth Grade ex
aminations is April 9th and 10th.
Since Valley Center, No. 107 is so
close to the Chambers school we have
decided that it would be best not to
have the eighth grade examinations
in that school. The examinations will
be given at both Chambers and Amel
ia and this should not make it incon
venient for surrounding schools.
The Normal Training Seniors of
Ewing High School are doing their
practice teaching in rural schools
this week.
Miss Hazel, Red Cross Nurse, vis
ited and examined the children in the
Emporia school on Wednesday.
The next teacher’s examinations
will be held in Atkinson, Ewing and
O’Neill on April 18th.

“ I believe in the United States of

the consent of the governed; a dem

tablished upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice and human
ity for which the American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I, therefore, believe it is my duty
to my country to love it; to support
its Constitution; to obey its laws; to
respect its flag, and to defend it
against all enemies.”

FAMED ARTISTS SEEN
IN "EAST LYNNE”|
All the world's great arts have!
been mobilized for service in Frank;
Lloyd’s Fox Movietone production, l
“East Lynne," featuring an all-star;
cast headed by Ann Harding, Clive1
Brook, Conrad Nagel, Cecelia Loftus, j
Beryl Mercer, O. P. Heggie and Dav
id Torrence. This romantic screen!
drama suggested by Mrse. Henry
Wood’s* internationally celebrated
novel, will have its local premiere at;
the Royal Theatre, Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday.
History shares honors with the
heart interest in “East Lynne.’ One
of the outstanding scenes in this
emotional romance is a living repro-;
duction of the historically famous j
scene of Emperor William of Ger
many at Versailles with his entire
staff at the close of the Franco-Prus
sian War. Bismarck is seen reading
the famous proclamation stating
that the Emperor takes possession of
Paris.
Earlier in the production a brief
sequence showing the bombardment
of Paris by the Prussian forces is en- j
acted. It is during this sweeping
scene that Isabel, played by Ann [
Harding, is snowed under by an ava
lanche of debris from bombarded and
falling buildings.
Music, too, plays an important role
in "East Lynne.’’ Richard Fall, fam
ous Viennese composer of “The Dol
lar Princess” and other operettas and
compositions, has written an origin
al French martial air, a Viennese
schottische and two waltzes. In addi
tion he supervised the playing of
famous classic compositions and the
singing of “Then You’ll Remember
Me,” by Miss Harding.
Mrs. Hilda Grenier, former per
sonal attendant for many years to
Queen Mary of England, the former
Princess Sofia of Germany and other
European royal personages, was ex
pert consultant to Director Lloyd
during the making of “East Lynne.”

price might be decided on. Wool
growers of some counties have de

Potato Seed Treatment
Potato growers who are troubled
with scab should treat their seed this
spring. One pint of formalin (40 per
cent formaldehyde) to 30 gallons of
water may he used; the tubers should
be treated whole. Soak the seed for
two hours in the solution and then
spread out on a clean surface to dry.
This solution may be used five times
before it) becomes ineffective. The
other treatment recommended by the
potato men of the Agricultural col
lege is called the corrosive sublimate
treatment. Four ounces of corrosive
sublimate is used to 30 gallons of
water. Seed should be soaked for 24
hours in water and then dried. This
uncut seed should then be soaked in
the corrosive sublimate solution for
or,? and one?half hours. This solu
tion can be used four times but an
ounce of corrosive sublimate should
be added to the solution after each
batch is soaked to keep the treating
solution at proper strength. The
solution must not be used in metal
containers.
Smut Control ir« Oats and Harley
The use of formaldehyde for the
treatment of covered smuts of oats
and barley is recommended by crop
experts at the Nebraska College of
Agriculture. Ceresan has also prov
ed of value in treating oats for smut.
Bulletins describing methods of smut
control can be secured by writiag

While this is so frequent as to be
hardly worthy of comment, we noted
another case of where a man who
caused an accident and was arrested
for driving while intoxicated, was a
second offender. One wonders how he
still happens to have a driver’s li
cense when the law demanding revo
cation of a driver’s license on convic

mandatory.
ft is especially interesting, in fol
lowing up the eleven cases where
reckless driving and driving while in

a few drivers’ licenses actually were

Never BeSore Such a
Light - Running Separator!
Now, with its new ball-bearing upper-neck bearing, the
Gold Medal has been made still easier to turn—it’s the lightest
ruipning»cream separator on the market. Because this ball
bearing is self-aligning and self-adjusting—an exclusive Gold
Medal feature—the bowl is always perfectly balanced. Bearing
is entirely enclosed and protected from dirt and moisture,
insuring long life, and minimum friction.
You will be sure to like this new feature of the
Gold Medal
And remember—Gold
Medal Curved Disks skim
closerl
That’s because the curve
provides a wide space at
center of the bowl to take
care of thick, sluggish cream
that has a tendency to clog
in the ordinary straight-disk
bowl. This space becomes
extremely narrow toward
the outside of the bowl—
separates the last particles
of butterfat. Two cream
outlets—another exclusive
feature—aid in handling
thick cream and maintain
ing uniform test.
Come in and try
this easy-turning ma
chine. See the new
bowl design, the new
type oil indicator which
shows at a glance if your
machine is being properly
oiled and the many other
features that make this an
ideal combination of close
skimming, light-running and
longer-life. There's a Gold
Medal in the size to suit
your needs.
