VHEN YOU AND I WERE YOUNG — O’Neill Retains Prestige As Celebrated Airship Visits 50 Years Ago About 8:30 o’clock last eve- <*> ning Wes Evans and R. E. Glass, while standing in front of the hotel, noticed a very bright light in the sky off to the north west. Wes was confident it was the celebrated airship that he gazed upon. O’Neill is a great place. Whenever any thing of great importance oc curs it is bound to be connected with it some way. But it look ed as if the airship w-as going to pass us up and not allow the citizens of one of the best towns of the state to gaze on its beau ty. But it didn’t. It is true that it visited several other communities before shedding its luminous light on O’Neill. Any citizen of O’Neill can now hold his head proudly erect and ] be happy, fully convinced of the fact that he resides in one of the favored sections. Prof. Hadley, of Morningside college, Sioux City, has been engaged by the musical union as musical inst: uctor for a term of 10 weeks. He will meet with the union not less than four times a week and often er if desired. He will also give private lessons in voice culture. Prof. Hadley is an accomplish ed musician and comes highly recommended, having been connected with the Morning side conservatory of music for several years. We predict that the union w'ill progress rapidly under his direction. Anyone wishing to do so can join the union by payment of $1, which will entitle them to the 10 weeks’ course without further cost. This is a good opportuni ty to get the rudimentary parts of music at a merely nominal cost, and the membership of the union will undoubtedly in crease largely. The term will close with that well-known and deservedly - popular cantata, “The Little Tycoon.” A good hotel is needed in O’ Neill and if a united effort is made by the businessmen we can probably secure one. Brace your feet and put your shoulder to the w-heel! W. J. Dobbs and Ben DeYar man spent several days last week in the southern part of the county writing chicory con tracts. They contracted for 50 acres, which will be delivered to the O’Neill factory. Wilhem Sibuer and Miss Dora Koster were granted a marriage license by Judge Mc Cutchan last Thursday. If that Greeco-Turkish war wants to attract any attent on in this part of the country, it must get down to business be fore our baseball season opens. 25 Years Ago Holt county will have a coun ty agent for the ensuing year 11 least. Saturday morning Dis trict Judge R. R. Dickson grant ed a writ of mandamus asked for by the farm bureau, requir ing the county board to make the necessary appropriation for the year, as required by statute when certain requirements are met. Fire destroyed the $75,000 school building at Tilden on April 1. The building was erected in 1912. A Duroc sow, belonging to Theodore Cape, of Neligh, far rowed 20 pigs recently. All are fine and doing well. It is believed to be the largest litter of pigs ever farrowed in the state. Billed for a boxing match in the KC hall are: Roy Rector, of Columbus, vs. Homer Sheri dan, of Sioux, in the main event; Chet Calkins, of O’Neill, vs. Pete Dietrich, of Atkinson, in a “stirring” semifinal.

If you would ask most people how the cost of electricity today compares with a few years ago, you would, no doubt, get many mistaken answers. Perhaps, you are aware that electric rates have constantly been reduced since Consumers Public Power District has been in .operation. But, do you know how much? Actually, Nebraska homes served by Consumers throughout Nebraska pay on an average, 36 2% less pei kilowatl hour for electricity today than they did ten years ago. People in every community served by Consumers benefit by these savings. You might spend more for electricity now than you did before. But that is because you use more for so many more bene ficial purposes. / to >«n Black Una above shows trend ot Consumers residential rales com pared to the national average shown by broken line. The truth Is, you get far more electricity for your money today than ever before, gj jfiown t/y the chart at left. t Bringing Greater Advantages To Nebraskans
