Grades 3 and 4 On Tuesday, while you were passing thru the hall you might have wond ered why the Senior and Junior Latin students were entering our class room. Here is the secret. Our study of Ge ography requires us to find ou't how the people of old Rome lived, what their customs were; how they fought their wars; how they built buildings. Instead of looking for this work in books we listened, to the Latin students who told us all about Rome in a most interesting way. Mary Lois Ham mond told about Roman morals. Rob ert Biglin spoke about Roman gods and godesses, while Future Life was explained by Eugene Gallagher. Dor othy Morrison gave us an idea of the Manners and Customs of the people, and we were told about Rome’s great, men by Mary Virginia Agnes. Some well known monuments and buildings were named by Hugh Ryan. Roman warfare was explained by Peter Price. He even showed how the Romans built sheds and war machines by drawings at the board. Lester Shoemaker told us what we owe to Rome. Thank you very much, Juniors and Seniors and we hope that you enjoyed this work as well as we did. On Thursday we had our long div ision contest. We invited Mother Claver to give the examples and. to make the corrections. All of the pupils worked intently until one after another had to take his seat on account of a wrong number in the quotient or‘re mainder. The last to stand were Billy O’Connell, Matilda Peter and Mary Helen Martin. Grades 5 and ti As the pupils from the other grades have presented a program at one time or another during the year, we thought it our duty to contribute ulso to the pleasure of entertaining by a program given by one or other of the classes. We decided to do our best and then to invite our parents, school faculty and classes to come to see what we could do. It was our wish to have both Fathei McNamara and Father Leahy at out program. As our pastor, Father Mc Namara was absent from the city, and could not therefore possibly come, we are glad' to' slate that Father Leahy made us happy by honoring us with his presence.

Grades 7 and 8 Last week the principal topic of our Eighth graders was selecting and vot ing upon class colors, class motto, etc. They were for the most part quite pleased with the result, though it is strange how* boys’ and girls’ tastes differ. These important class meet ings resulted in the following: Class colors—Apricot and Nile Green Class motto—Always lead, never follow’. Class flower—White Carnation Class patron—The Blessed Virgin With their minds busy with grad uation, it is hard to concentrate these days. Can you imagine that finding areas and volumes of prisims, cylind ers, cones, pyramids and spheres must be tedious work? And then, examin ations looming up in the near future, is enough to take all the joy out of life. Relief Director Says FERA Is Not Employment Service State Relief Director Biart, in ex plaining the purpose of the FERA says it is a relief agency, and not an employment service. He says: “There seems to he considerable mis understanding in some quarters con cerningthenew work relief program of FERA. It should be distinctly under stood that FERA is not operating an employment office, a service which is already being exceptionally well hand led by National Reemployment offices. The Federal Emergency Relief Admin istration aims only to provide work fo;. persons on relief rolls so that they may earn what they get without the stigma of charity and. pauperism gen erally associated with direct relief FERA is not interested in getting jqjrs done, but unfortunately in some places local officials seem to be inter ested in the relief program primarily for the purpose of getting certain projects done with Uncle Sam paying the bill. "The Federal Relief Administration expects counties and communities to hire as many of the unemployed at local expense as possble. It is also expected that individuals now em ployed and that business both large and small shall do their full part in putting people to work. In other words, providing real jobs is a local obligation and responsibility. “FERA cannot take people off relief rolls. That is entirely up to the local people; The most we can do is to permit the people on relief to earn their necessities. “To bring: this about the Work Div ision was formed. To put this work program into operation takes time. First let it be understood that the people assigned to the' jobs which the work division has prepared, must come from the relief rolls. They must he bona-fide relief eases. Their need must he established thru investigation by relief workers, and this is a job that cannot be done in five minutes. It may take a we$k or even more to com plete thorough investigations, It might be well to state that need must he fully established and. certification of non-relief persons cannot he secured to satisfy any ‘big-shot’. “After the individual has been certi fied as a bona-fide relief case by the relief office, he is given a work requisi j tion, which Is virtually an order on the ' work division to provide the man with work according to his budgetary re quirements. The next step is to check with the re-employment office to see if the man Is registered for work. He ; cannot he placed on a FF.KA work ! division job unless he is. The third step in some places is to subject the man to a physical examination and if I he passes then the work division I makes out a work order to be passed on to the foreman of a specific pro ject. The kork division must then [ notify the • relief division of that * placement. Nobody is going to starve dufing the period it taken to get the machinery into smooth operation. Those on relief will be cared for as usual. The relief job is u big business and no big business can get n new progiam into operation over night or 1 without a hitch. "It ha* been found that many of the men certified by the relief division ■ have picked up temporary jobs or part time joba that prevent them from | being assigned to work division pro jects. This is a most encouraging sign. Early regulations provided that persons whose budgetary requirements [ did not reach 21 hours per month could not go on work projects. This j naturally disqualified a huge number of men. The new ruling received April 14, which provided a minimum of 18 hours per month will release a large number of men for work. “If everyone realized that KKRA is doing a relief job and not an employ ment job and if we have a little more cooperation and patience and less jaw bone, parteularly on the part of those who have done little or nothing to alleviate the distress of the unem ployed, the entire program will he op erating smoothly in short order.” Dynamite And Gravel Used Effectively In Crow Killing It cost but 40 pounds of dynamite to kill about 7,BOO crows at their sleep ing quarters in groves of trees near Gothenburg. The new system is used by placing the dynamite, several sticks, in small sacks of gravel, the dynamite being broken sticks and the gras'el rather coarse. In another raid, the hunters there placed poison in the carcass of a horse and killed 1,800 crows. When there was snow on the ground, a trap was rigged and dead sheep bodies placed therein for bait. The trap was fairly successful as long as there was snow. Sav New' Evidence Found In Mike Flannigan Case Briefs alleging newly discovered evidence has been found have been filed with the supreme court by attor neys for Michael J. Flannigan, hanker of Long Pine befofe a bank there closed, and the new evidence is made the basis to sustain motion for new trial for Flannigan. Flannigan was convicted for obtain ing $.‘1,000 from the Long Pine hank through a forged note bearing what was supposed to be the name of A. E. Ranbaugh. The state claimed Ran baugh was a figment of the imagin ation. Since Flannigan’s conviction the receiver of the bank and Flannigan himself received letters from Hot Springs,- S. lb, signed “A. E. Ran baugh.” The writer of the letters said he heard Flannigan was in trouble because of the note, said, he lost most of the cattle involved in the note which covered the mortgage, and that he had feared to inform Flannigan of the cattle losses. Flannigan said his efforts at finding this man Ranbaugh had resulted neg atively thus far. Chicago Bed-time Story ’Twas one of them there nights blacker’n a pile of black cats and yer duil sez to me he has to deliver a gal lon, of gorilla juice to a high society woman who lost a leg while out trying to snare an escaped husband. As daddie snuck along the old mill road U few minutes to midnight, ho saw a fellah wind a piece of gas-pipe around another guy’s beezer and he thought nothing of it until one of them wraiths comes up and says: “Do as I sez or I’ll run you thru an electric wringer an’ make a dry out of ye.” Daddie swung fer the thing’s jaw and found he struck thin air. That made pop hot under his shingles and he made a run for the shack where the Vermieella brothers was makin’ a honest livin’ hidin’ from a sheriff and watchin' some pots boil in which was only cactus juice mixed with harmless dynamite to sell guys who had colds an’ a run down condition after some officer lost the trail. Now, kinds, to make a breezy tale brief, you daddie asked for a weapon an’ one of the boys whipped out a scythe from a boot an paw he took this an’ went out an’ challenged the gang to a duel to see who should buy the flowers for the other guy. Paw he swung an* raked, off seven heads an’ then told the next row he had to quit for a while as the code said hours was cut in all lines an’ the rest could be on hand the next night. As dad mosiedon his way home that night a fellah with no warnin; he was that poor; riz right out of a bunch of grass an’ let dad have 17 bullets out of a gun. Pop got to laughin' an' swatiered some of the bullets. The others bounced off and then dad drew a sigh an’ the other feller got the heebie-jeebies and hotfotted off. Paw slept with his shotgun that night and the thing went off and blew off three toes. In his sleep, dad. hit me, an after I worked him over, he apologized from the hospital by telephone. Odd Stone Turns Out To Be A Meteorite When Edward Anderson manned a plow in 1908 on his farm land he set the shovel very deep and soon plowed ! out it peculiar brown stone which he kept as a souvenir. This stone was seen by A. M. Brooking, curator of the Hastings museum, and he pro nounced it a meteorite. The stone then was sent to an expert at Denver who sawed into it, tested it with acids and polished part of it. The expert said it is a meteorite. A meteorite fell in the yard of the Erickson home at Loomis, Nebr, about 25 years ago. It was recovered, then lost. The one found on the Anderson farm, near Loomis, uuw is believed a piece of the one that fell in the yard in Loomis. George Van Every went to near Bartlett Friday of last week to act as foreman of a crew of workmen com pleting a highway project. He re turned here Saturday night and went back to the works early Monday morn ing.
