The cities of the country which had become noted had been because of their tak ing up of one particular line of work and carrying that out to the highest possibilities ; he citetl Aurora, Illinois, as an example where this city had been the first to adopt and urei the eufter light system, and no matter what the one ideal of the town was to be, whether the cleanest city in the sti;te, the one with the most maim this lecture and to view the wonderful series of films of Nebraska's resources th teachers of the city schools had been invited and occupied seats in the balcony of the banquet hall. The film shown represented four phases of Nebraska . life irrigation, Ihe sugar beet industry, the stock feeding country of the sand hills and the trip along the wenic Niobrara river. Each of these films, which were prepared under the personal di rection of Ur. Condra, was a lesson in itself and did more to bring to the guests of the evening an appreciation of what is being carried out in this state than all the speeches possibly could have brought out. Each one was complete in itself, starting from the beginning and taking up step .by facturies or anything else, the one step the different industries and pro idea of making their goal the mosc jects and placing them' before the ban periectly developed would earn tlv queters in a most pleasing manner, right kind of a reputation for a city and in addition to the pictures the ro und community. He also stated that marks of the genial speaker were it was best for a community to see most instructive in giving his hearers that industries which they ah eady an insight into the development of the possessed were made prosperous be- - tate and the desire to have every man, woman and child "Know Ne braska."

The death of Mrs. Janda was due to the general bieakdown and debility of her advanceel years, she being 83 years of age at the time of iier death. For many years 4'Gra ma" Janda. as she was best known, was a resident of Plattsmouth, resid ing on the family homestead at Fif teenth and Vine streets, and here the husband passeel away some fifteen years ago. Since that time Mrs. Janda has made her home with her son, John Janda, and family, and seven years ago the family removed to Lawrence. Nebraska, where Mr. Janda is now located on a farm near that place and here the aged mother passed peace fully away. She will be well remem bered by a great many of the resi-1 dents of the city in the section where for so many years she made her home and it is with the deepest regret that she has been summoned to her final reward. Devoted to her family and with the home ties forming her chief. aim in life, Mrs. Janda spent her year in the rearing of her family and look ing after their wants and needs and in her death they lose a devoted moth er and friend.
