The interest in the sale did not stop with the disposal of j the last animal which was offered . for following the sale a number of ! the people came purchasing ani i mals for their herds at private sale and again the buyers resold some Display! (of Iheih purchases, which evinces! ! the interest in and the worth of this brand of porkers. Wm Hicks Wins Giand Champion Wm.

They. will make their home at Riverton. The County Fair a Success Everybody who have attended the Cass county fair from all over the county came back with the satis faction of knowing that the exhibit is above the average and that -they have some of the best displays not alone in stock but in every line which it is expected that exhibits i would come from. The school exhi- bit as well as the home is well re presented and it looks like the stock portion could not be bettered anyway. We will have more to say regarding the exhibits personally. later. Does Not Look That Way The Chautauqua matter is one of considerable perplexity these days when they do not pay out. The one held at Nehawka was a success last which came out behind has in aj manner deterred the people of thisi place from taking hold of the mat-; ter with much interest. Mrs. Crane1 representing the White-Meyers Co., ' which gave a course here last year, f was in town last week but met with little encouragemest. The con ditions are perplexing when one company has been doing a town, they by the ruses of the companies agreement are entitled to the field the following year. That means if Nehawkaa does not sign up with the White-Meyers people they can-j not have some one else for the ccm-i ing year, but must wait fo.- anoth er year until they can make a con tract with another company.

Earnest Opp was absent from school Monday and Tuesday" on ac count of the death of his little brother. In the fourth grade the pupils are to study the life and works of Longfellow. They have started to memorize "The Village Blacksmith." Vilas Sheldon was absent from school Wednesday. He is one of the boys who belong tor the pig club and was .attending the County fair at Weeping Water. It was decided, that it was not necessary to excuse school for the county fair at Weeping Water as those who wished to go could get there easily after school. Examination of the ears, eyes, nose and throat is taking place this week. The teachers are giving the examination for the eyes and ears while Dr. Thomas will examine the nose and throat. The Sophomores entertained the Seniors at a party at the scnool house last Friday evening. Games were played and an interesting time was enjoyed by all. Sandwich es, pickles and orangeade was served. The grades each sent a small ex hibit to the fair. The Home Econ omics department sent over quite a large exhibit, consisting of cakes, pies, cookies, canned fruit and fancy work. Mr. Burby, who took the ex hibit over in his Ford could hardly keep from eating it up. Thursday afternoon, September 27 the 5 and 6 grades took a nature study hike and at the same time had a wienner roast. A number of interesting specimens were secured and -will be used for various lan guage and drawing lessons during the remainder of this .week. The little folks enjoyed the wienner roast as little folks usually do, to say nothing of the toasted marsh mallows. The Crops and Soils class has been gathering seed the last few days. It is planned to test this corn out this winter, most of the boys will use it in planting their pro ject plot. One interesting part of it is the collecting enough corn from prolific plants to plant one tow thru their plot, the plant must have at least two good sized ears to be eligible. The ears on the plants on this row will then be counted next fall to see if anv has been made in I comparison with the; other rows. On Thursday afternoon, Septem ber 22. at the close of school, the girls of the 5, 6, 7, and 8 grades met to organize a sewing club. They , held election of officers and decid ed to meet every two weeks on ; Thursday afternoons, either at the school house or at the home of one ; of the members. Miss Scott and Miss Steinmeyer will act as guardians at these meetings. The aim is to teach the girls some of the arts they may accomplish by handiwork. Social af fairs will also be included for the girls. The English classes in the high school are planning io re-catologue , the school library. It is planned to put all books into one central li- brary to be kept in the high school study room. After they are all cat ologued which will take about two weeks, they will be checked out to the students of the entire school, providing they are old enough to read them. It is hoped to add to the library as many good books as pos sible. This should be of especial in terest as Nehawka has no public library. Methodists Have New Minister The Rev. C. E. Moore, who has been the minister at the Metho dist church in Nehawka for the past two years, went to Dakota City where he was sent by the con ference and Rev. E. O.
