Mob violence threatens two men,
rum runners, in Plptte City, Mo., who
crashed into a car full of school child
ren, killing ope. and seriously injuring
another. The best thing for the en
raged citizens, to do.i# .quit patroniz
ing the bootlegger so there won’t he
any runt runners.
A cry is raised in an isolated quart
er against Dwight Griswold of Gordon,
a candidate for the republican nom
ination for governor, because he voted
against the junior collhgtf bill when in
the legislature. We are rather of a
mind that his stand against that
measure is an asset in his campaign
for governor.

Those advocating a sales tax o»
automobiles, claiming that it would be
painless, and come from those well
able to pay it, fail to realize that
more than half of the automobiles
sold are those in the $500 class, and!
that the large majority of these ore
purchased by people making $3,000
a year, or less.
Mr. Bryan has other business now
and cannot be bothered with a special
session of the legislature. The several
departments are turning out reports
of the amount paid to depositors of
failed banks, the number of cars of
relief sent out and th« savings in
operation of the state government.
One item not mentioned is a live
thousand dollar rug in the office of
the governor’* secretary, imported
from England.
They Are Democratic Debts
Lexington (Ky.) Leader: Secretary
Hyde, explaining more explicit iv 'vhn‘
he meant in his recent speech be e a
New York audience in deft • .he
President, among other thii p ted
out a fact which many peop teem
be overlooking. That fact i t the
United States has cancdk. i ' m
part of the total of the .- ar u
that the various European t \en.
ments are paying back only the ? u is
borrowed after the World War closed,
not what was borrowed while it was
going on; and, the further fact, that
these loans, amounting to some $12,
000,000,000, were negotiated by Presi
dent Wilson, Mr.: William Gibbs Mc
Adoo, and Mr. darter Glass, not by
a Republican administration.
Mr. Hoover had nothing to do with
creating this huge indebtedness on the
part of Europe; Yet the Democratic
leaders today are, as Secretary Hyde
pointed out, “trying to make political
thunder from the difficult and delicate
international problems which have
grown out of those debts."
Secretary Hydti has .performed a’
real public service in making thij
point clear. The President lias to al
with one of the most difficult situa
tions imaginable 1?ub one for whu h^he
j • i , * /
is in no remote sense responsible. Mr
Wilson's administration created the
debts, and the money loaned, if it is
finally lost, if the American people
have to themselves retire the bonds
and pay the interest on them, will
have been lost through no fault of Mr
Hoover, of Mr. Coolidge, or of Mr
Harding.
All of them faced a condition created
by a former administration over which
no Republican had any control. Mr,
Glass, one of the most intemperate of
men in public discussion, Mr. Walsh,
Mr. Rainey, of the House, Mr. Collier,
one of the leading Democratic repre
sentatives, and all the rest should
keep this before them steadily. The
President should have their sympathy
and help rather than their criticism
and de'nUnciaVibn.
When a Joke Is No Joke
Jokes sometimes result seriously.
Five Holt county men have been con
victed of jury tampering as the sequel
to a remark offered in banter. It
happened in the jury room when
twelve men good and true had the fate
of the Flannigan cases in their power.
Ballot after ballot resulting only
in the monotonous “ten to two,” a
juror remarked in fun, “somebody has
been bought."
And then—
Ralph Rosengraus threw a bomb.
He had been approached by Juracek
with a proposition to hang the jury.
So had he been approached and of
fered $50. said George Gilman. And
to make it threefold, Henry Heiser
aid he, too, had been told there would
be $50 in it for him if he hung the
jury.
Ail thi* in the jury room. Like
Haiaphas, what need of further bal
loting. This was on Sunday. Monday
morning these three jurors told Judge
Hickson of the attempted bribery,
f'ounty Attorney Cronin was out of
he city. Upon his return the facts
were made known to him and prosecu
tion was at once begun. Five have
now become involved and convicted
ind three are under sentence and fine.
So much so far as the sequel to a
"funny remark." Maybe these men
—and the fourth, Alfred Cleveland—
had it in mind all along to disclose the
facts to the court; maybe if that re
mark made in fun that Sunday after
noon in the jury room had not been
made this thing would have got
started anyway; but—.
However, there is renewed confid
ence in the integrity of the courts—
the honesty of the citizenship as rep
resented by these four jurors, the
sincerety of prosecuting officers as
embodied in the earnest endeavors to
bring the offenders to justice.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES
County Superintendent, Luella A.
Parker and Aliss Lucy Perry, Red
Cross Nurse, visited Districts Nos. 8
and UO last Friday to make physical
examinations of the pupils. Thirty
four pupils were weighed, measured
and examined. The parents of the
district were present and after the
examination Miss Perry talked to
them on Health topics.
Mrs, Parker and Mr. Rooney,
County Agent, visited District No.
157 on Monday afternoon, where Mr.
Rooney organized a 4-H Keep Well
Club among the pupils. The req lire*
ments of .this club are that the mem
bers must observe certain health rules
and carry out a number of health
projects and problems, keeping rec
ords of the same through a period o'
ten weeks.
Two hundred and eight-three eighth
grade pupils of the county wrote on
the State Examinations on last Fri
day. Only four subjects were written
on at this time. The next eighth
grade examination will be held on
Thursday and Friday, April 14th and
15th. Eighth graders will write on
all subjects at this time and Seventh
graders will take Farm Accounting,
Physiology and Hygiene and General
Geography.
Tt will soon he time for District
School Boards to contract with tea'ch
ers for the coming year. A numbei
of teachers are already making ap
plications for positions. Board mem
bers of every district should make a
special effort to give employment to
teachers of Holt county. By giving
employment to our own home hoys
and girls, who have spent their time
and money to qualify as teachers, we
will be helping the economic situation
in our own county to a great extent.
We owe this much to our home people
especially so during this time of de
pression and need. Holt county boys
and girls are just as well qualified to
teach our school as outside products.
We have plenty of qualified teachers
to fill every rural school in the county.
Why must we go outside our own
county and employ teachers concern
ing whom we know nothing? Tht
slogan “Trade at Home” applies to
teachers as well as to other lines of
business. I feel there is special need
for home employment this year.
Due to so much bad weather and
continued bad roads it has been
thought best not to call our Annual
Rural School Board Meeting at this
tune. A meeting may be called later.
A number of notices have been sent
to parents of pupils who have not been
attending school regularly. We have
been quite lenient about this dvr in:
the bad weather. Every boy and girl
in the County under the age of 16
years should be in school unless he
(ir !*he has, at least, finished the
Eighth Grade. Parents can avoid the
■ece.-sity of sending out the Truant
Officer by seeing that their children
attend school regularly. Illness is the
only valid excuse for a child’s absence
from school.
The apportionment of school funds
due schools of Nebraska for January
1982 to the amount of $456.4112.15 has
been distributed to the ninety three
counties by the Sate Superinendont.
This money is not derived from taxa
tion of the people, as many suppose,
but is accumulated from the follow
ing sources:
Interest on Bonds $242,459.91
Warehouse Licenses 42.00
Insurance Licenses 17,033.00
Employment Agency Licenses 350.00
Liquor Licenses 985.00
School Land Interest .. 22.048.19
School Land Lease 173,574.05
$456,492.16
Each county receives its respecitve
share according to the amount of
school land within its boundaries and
according to the eligibi 'ty of its
school district to share in the ap
portionment, which eligibility if based
upon th degree in which the school
live* up to the requirements of the
Nebraska School Laws. The main
require merit is that a school must hold
nine months of school or all that an
8 rpill levy will Support. Twenty
thrde disti cts in Holt county will be
deprived of apportionment this year
because tb. y held less than nine
months of t hool when htey could have

The secret of flouting a needle is nut to get water Into the eye of the*

the surface of the water In a glass or bowl and drop the needle lengthwise
on the paper. When the paper becomes thoroughly soaked It will sink, leaving
the needle to float. Tile other method is to place the ueedle across a fork
and carefully lower the fork into the water und as the needle Conte take tlie
fork away. Jt is necessary to watch the needle closely so that water docs
not get Into the eye, otherwise it will sink.
