Over the County ■ ■ ■ — -- Emmet School Notes Charlie and Leslie Strong were absent from school Wednesday. Due to the snow the Emmet high school boys hav© found a new amusement, playing mumble peg in the hall. Gailord Abart was absent from school Monday, due to the sudden change in weather. The Ninth and Tenth grades are preparing for a good old test for the six weeks exams Friday. Roberta Bush was absent from school Monday, because of unde pendable transportation. The Tenth grade students are now studying about rhythms and rhymes. They hope to become poets some time in the future. Those with perfect attendance for March were Agnes Vogel, Mary Anna Winkler, Gilord Abart and Wayne Bates. The Nninth grade have finished their classic** ‘Silas Mariner. ’ Anna Rose O’Donnell was absent from school Monday for many reasons that cannot be revealed. Earnest, Darlene, Helen, Erwin and Louise were absent from school Monday. In health we are giving different forms of exercises. Next week Frankie Lee is going to walk like a turkey. In geography the Fifth and Sixth grades are studying about Germany. We are taking tests to improve our silent reading. By the results shown we are improv ing slowly. The seventh and eighth grades finished the classic, The Great Stone Face. We have a new motto on the blackboard this week. It is “All that’s great and good is done just by patient trying.” SOUTHWEST BREEZES Sunday morning three or four inches of feathery snow spread a blanket over the dust-blown land, scape. This, together with a light er fall the previous morning, pro duced about the quantity of mois ture contained in an early summer morning’s dew. April Fool’s morn ing seemed to be definitely head ing us back to winter with a heavy fall of snow. Roy Warden was finishing up last Wednesday on the work of cal ling on Swan precinct corn and hog growers, taking applications of those desiring to “sign up.” With the dreary outlook for any sort of a crop everybody is grabbing at any chance which is available to get something from the dry land, if it has to be done by allowing it to lie uncropped and paid for by Uncle Sam. However, some were not approached on the subject in time to allow them to get to O’Neill to finish the red tape process of “getting in” before the expiration of the date, April 1. In the matter of manuscript or penmanship the compiler of the “Breezes” must be in a class with the late Attorney E. H. Benedict of the Holt County Bar Associa tion. In our last communication was an item of the departure of Mrs. E. E. Young for Kansas. The intelligent compositor made “Gor ing” out of it. Perhaps as it was written it may have been taken for anything, and when putting mat ter in type one guess is as good as another. Mrs. Young returned Monday. “Red’ Bilstein of Swan Lake was a visitor at the E. E. Young home Saturday evening, as were also Ned and J. Saunders, discussing financial affairs as exemplified with the guitar and other string instru ments. Some practical demon strations were put on. Floyd Adams of Amelia last week sold his cream station, build ing and equipment, to the Atkinson creamery. Edgar Peterson has been put in charge of the station. Mr. Peterson has had a large ex perience in testing and handling cream and no doubt will continue the popularity of the station which Floyd had. long enjoyed. The At kinson concern has taken the cream from the station all along and say the cream coming from here is of such high quality that they wished to retain the station and learning of Mr. Adams’ intention of retiring from the business took it over by purchase. It is reported Floyd ex pects to establish a gasoline sta tion in Amelia, which he will oper ate in addition to having the Du mas-Amelia mail route, which latter Mrs. Adams looks after most of the time and now has a flashy new coupe in which to make the trip. Ed Welton, residing on the ranch down in Josie precinct, surprised his friends last month by quietly disappearing from accustomed haunts and showing up some time later with a charming bride. The wedding occurred on the 14th at Burwell. The bride was Miss Ella Lavore, of Carlinville, 111. She was met at Ewing by Mr. Welton. From there they went to Burwell and af ter the marriage came on to the ranch. The occasion was marked a few evenings later by a charivari as well as neighborly demonstra tion in welcome of the bride. Ed is one of the old timers in his sec tion of the county and is one of a family of the earliest settlers around O’Neill. His many friends will be glad to extend their hearty best wishes for himself and Mrs. Welton. At this distance we of the great common element of citizens, by in heritance, tradition or otherwise, have looked upon the national con gress as a body of the ablest and best of us. A lady in Washington obtained a close-up of that body in session and gave her impression in a letter to the home folks here, saying: “How they ever know what they are doing the way var ious ones would leave their seats and walk around., others get up and yell out their arguments until the man at the desk would pound with his club.” This description may not be strictly classical but it is first hand. Mr. and Mrs. Ferman Welton spent Sunday with relatives near Broken Bow. Ferman says con ditions are much worse in that community than here, the meager supply of feed being exhausted long ago and the farmers have no way of getting any more. The snow makes it still worse as what little feed there might be on the prairie is covered up. R. S.

The old fashioned literary pro gram presented, by the Ladies Aid last Friday evening was a huge success. Every number was well received by the audience. The program was as follows: Wed ding dress review in which about ten wedding dresses were display ed, the oldest being 75 years old and and was worn by Rev. Mertie E. Clute. The outfit consisting of dress, bonnet and fan were com plete. Mrs. Chet Youngs wore one which was 55 years old.; the rest ranged from 25 to 3 years old.

Feeder’s Oats Holt county farmers who attend the 23rd annual Feeder’s Day at the Nebraska college of agriculture on Thursday, April 18, will hear a number of outstanding speakers and be able to view several hun dred head of experimental cattle. Results of tests comparing dry lot fattening with grass fattening will probably attract considerable attention since a great increase in the latter method is probable all over Nebraska during the coming months. W. W. Derrick, extension animal husbandman, will speak on the subject and summarise experi mental work done at the Nebraska station and other stations in the mid-west. Prof. M. A. Alexander will dis cuss new sheep feeding methods. A comparison of cottonseed cake, tankage and meat scraps for lambs as protein supplements is included in one test. In another straw and alfalfa are compared as roughages for sheep. Results of another test where six lots of steer calves, heifer calves and yearling heifers have been fed varying rations will be given out by Prof. R. R. Thallium, who is in charge of the day’s program. On test 150 days, the experiment will show how heifers and steers do on limited corn ration with silage ami cottonseed cake as supplements. SCHOOL NOTES The Holt County Spelling Con test was held at the O’Neill High School Auditorium Friday night. The contest was very interesting and brought out some very keen competition. Eileen Kelly of St. Mary’s Academy carried off first place, and Catherine McNichols was second. In group four Billy Whitehead, of Stuart, set down all opposition, with Joyce Catron of Chambers winning second place. Competition was much keener in group three, than in group four. I want to remind those who are interested, that the next State Teachers Examinations will be held on Saturday, April 20th. All regis tration numbers must be purchased at this office one week in advance of the examination. This will do away with having to issue a false number or a temporary number, at the place where the examination is to be given. Mumps, Small Pox and Chicken Pox are still raging thruout the county. Parents are urged to keep children out of school if they show symptoms of disease. They run their own risks in attending parties, theaters, and group gatherings of any kind. We cannot blame the schools solely, for this, as children are less apt to catch contagious disease at school than they would be at any public gathering. If your children have not been vaccinated it would be well to do so at once. We should not endang er the health of others thru our own carelessness. School boards should be careful in making selection of their teach ers. Qualifications, should have an important bearing, however, if a teacher is doing good work, the board should re-hire the teacher. Personal likes or dislikes should not be taken into consideration in the hiring of a teacher. Three points should bp taken into consid eration in hiring the teacher, char acter, qualifications and ability. We should not discriminate against the normal training teach er. Remember, they all must have a chance and if we do not give them this chance, they will never be able to teach. County Superintendent. GAMBLE’S APRIL SALE!
