EDUCATIONAL NOTES The Holt County Eighth Grade Graduation Exorcises were held on Friday afternoon of lust week at O’Neill. The day was ideal, although warm. The graduates met on the court house lawn at 1 o’clock, where a group picture was taken by the O’Neill Photo Co. Then they march ed to the K. C. Hall, led by the At kinson High School Band. An excel lent program was presented by pu pils of the graduating class, follow ed by a very interesting and inspira tional address by Judge It. R. Dick son, after which diplomas were pre sented to the graduates by County Superintendent, Luella A. Parker. An unusually large number of par ents and friends of the graduates at tended, many more than could be ac commodated in the K. C. Hall. Two hundred thirty-nine pupils took and successfully passed the state exam inations and of this number all but twenty-seven were present at the ex ercises to receive their diplomas. At the close of the exercises h special matinee was presented at the Royal Theatre for the graduates. This was a fine show and we wish to thank the O’Neill Lions Club for their co-oper ation in helping to make this free show possible. Many comments were made during the afternoon regard ing the splendid music furnished by the Atkinson High School Band, led by Mr. Atkins. Some members of this band are only sixth grade pupils. The group gives evidence of excel lent musical training. Graduates and parents felt that they had spent a very interesting and enjoyable after noon in spite of the crowded condi tion of the hall and the warm weath er. 4-H CLUB A 4-H dub was organized in Pleas ant Valley district.

WRITES FROM WASHINGTON W'hen the warm weather of spring draws near, one of the most pleasing of Washington sports begins to flour ish—boating. Many attractive tiny and larger craft which must give great pleasure to many people, are tied up in a side channel of the Po tomac. Last w'eek, we were fortun ate as to have a two days’ trip on one of these, and especially so, to have beautiful weather for it, in a cold and rainy season. Not only is there the pleasure of the boat ride, but from the beginning there is much to see. Pulling out, on the right, is Haines’ Point, that park way bordered by the beautiful double Japanese cherry blossoms. It was, originally, Potomac River, built up into a valuable recreational center. On the left, is Army War College. Behind are the Capitol and the Wash ington Monument. Then, comes the Naval Air Station. Later, some of the institutions of the District of Columbia. Beautiful wtooded shores on each side, at times steep, at oth ers, forming a good beach. Occasion ally. an old house which has been al lowed to fall into ruins proclaims the duy when the river banks were the social center of the countryside. After seven miles of this, Alex andria is reached. Its docks, boats and water front are quite extensive, but their activities, like most of Alexandria, are but relics of a day long past. Time was when Alexan dria was expected to be the great city of the country, but it has grown little, if at all, in a hundred years. But it is interesting. From the boat, one can see Old Christ Church, where Washington attended. Also, the Car lyle House, that historic mansion where Braddock and Washington met to plan the campaign which re sulted in Braddock’s death. The new Washington Memorial, nearly com pleted, is visible for many miles. It stands on a hill, formerly owned by Washington, where many people wished to have the National Capitol placed. Washington refused because it might be said that he was trying to sell his property to the Govern ment. Another memorial to Washington is seen for miles—the Memorial Highway to Mt. Vernon, skirting the shore. It will, undoubtedly, be a beautiful drive when completed. It will be a great boon, not only to the thousands of visitors to Mt. Vernon, but to the dwellers of the beautiful homes along the river. Three forts occupy heights along | the Potomac. The first. Fort Hunt, was built about 1892, as u measure of coast defense, and is used now by the Coast Artillery. Almost oppo site Mt. Vernon is Fort Washington, with such natural advantages that the Indians are said to have manned it as early as 1634. In 1645, a colon ial fort was established there. Wash ington chose the place for a fort in 1794. In 1813, President Madison commissioned Major L’Enfant, the original planner of the Capital City appointed by Washington, to prepare plans for enlarging Fort Washington as a defense to the city. These plans were rejected by the Secretary of War, who is quoted as saying: “The British will never be so mad as to make an attempt on Washington, and it is, therefore, totally unnecessary to make any preparations for its de fense.” (How much this sounds like arguments of today against national defense.) I The following year, a British 'squadron sailed up the Potomac, and the soldiers manning the fort, blew it up. For this act, the commanding of ficer was court-martialed. Thus, the British hac^ easy access to Alexandria and Washington. The guns at Fort Washington were fired for the last time to salute Lind bergh when he came up the Potomac on his triumphal return to Washing ton after his flight to Paris. The old fortifications are plainly seen from the river, useless, today, of course, but surely effective when built. The third fort is Fort Humphrey, built by the Engineering Corps during the World War. On its grounds are the ruins of the home of Lord Fairfax, friend and neighbor of George Wash ington. (This trip to be continued next week.) GLADYCE W. SIMMONS —Buy it in O’Neill— FISH HUBBY GOOD NURSE BUT BABES SOON GO BYE-BYE At least one species of fish wife has a “nest" in which to lay her eggs—thanks to perhaps the most thoroughly domesticated hubby on record. At around this time of the year the black bass husband sets to work building a nest for his prospective family of from 2000 to 10000 young sters, according to Warden J. M. White, of the Alabama department of game and fisheries, as quoted by a bulletin of the American Game As sociation. He prepares the nest by fanning away from the spot selected all un wanted material. Larger obstructions he removes with his mouth. After the eggs are deposited the male stands guard over them, never leaving for a moment and constantly fanning the nest to keep it free of • I sediment, until the tiny fish appear I sometimes many days later. During I this period he is so ferocious he will attack any kind of an intruder. When his multitiglinous offspring ! are only a few days old, however, they swim beyond his parental con j troi and enter upon a wayward life I which soon makes most of his watch I fulness go for naught as far as ang i lers are concerned. The little fish, I which grow faster than the rest, promptly begin devouring their sis ters and brothers, and very few bass reach maturity. Guarding bass are easily caught, and when taken from the nest, the eggs for which they died are invari ably destroyed by fish, terrapins and other enemies. Fish experts so far have been un able to devise a method for propa gating black bass artificially in fish hatcheries, where other popular game fish are reared by the millions to restock depleted waters. For this reason nearly all states where bass ary found are now carefully promot ing natural replenishment with clos ed fishing seasons and spawning ref uges. —Buy it in O’Neill— SURROUNDING AND 1‘LEASANT VIEW --— Mr. and Mrs. Will Steskal were in I Atkinson on business, Saturday.
