The political pot is getting a little warmer and we can expect some seething in the next few months to come. The Senior Class Play On Friday of this week the senior class will give their play "Annie of Ann Arbor." Now get this, on Fri day, March 24th and as a number cf communications have been (hand ed us giving dates of March 31st, asking that we give publicity to this but we are not in the game between the classes. We are wanting news, but we desire it straight. No doubt many times there are items slipped over on the news gatherer which are not correct. In .fact a man told us his relative departed for Oklahoma a short time since and then changed his mind and did not go. He then, in order to clear .his skirts, tried to insinuate the papers not reliable. However, keep the date of this play in mind for it will be well worth while. They have an excellent coach and those who attend will be well pleased. In Honor of St. Patrick Last Friday afternoon and evening at the auditorium the ladies of the Methodist church furnished enter tainment a plenty and eats in abun dance for all who came and sure had cne of the most sociable and enter taining times that this very sociable city has seen in many a day. An ex cellent program had leen provided and and a pig and quilt raffled off which brought many a bright dollar to the exchequer for the redecorat ing of the church. Seme Horse Shoe Pitchers The Sheldon Manufacturing em ployes have a practice of playing hor.e jshoe during the neon hour and during the cold weather they have l:ert up the practice inside the build ing and now as the weather had warmed they were outside where it is more agreeable. Now let me ssy that they are pretty good at the game for they invited the represen tative of this paper to try a bout with them and we found they know how to pitch the horse shoes, of course, if it was an auto tire it might 'be different. The Old Maids' Convention Through the kindness of Senator A. F. Sturm we .have the following report of the play 'which the mem bers of one of the divisions of the Methodist ladies aid societies gave. The ladies are very aggressive in their work for the raising of funds for the work in contemplation at the church building. "The Old Maids' Convention giv en by Troop No. 2 of the Busy Work ers for the benefit of the M. E. church Saturday evening was a large success. Not only did it accomplish the financial purposes but it gave a high class entertainment as well. Mrs. V. P. Sheldon, chairman, pre sided over it3 deliberations with vig or and tact, resulting in some very good acting by the whole cast. As for the costumes and makeup, they were dreams (?). Yes, fitful ones and nightmares and some more fits. Old chests and closets and ghost chambers yielded up their yester days with vamp flapper and girls on dress 'parade, and clinging vine and gnarled oak In the wings. All pic turing the blissful state a man. Yes, man was there too, the bald and bewhiskered, occupied the front row to offer cheers and encourage ment in their mad race. (Also he left a substantial addition in the till). The event sets another mile stone in the dramatic life of our community, revealing if uncovered, a wealth of material for the "moul der'6 wheel." In the words of O'Hen ry, it was a "Climaxer." Loses One Wheel No, w do. not mean a dollar, but a wheel off his auto this was when Jeorge C. Sheldon was going to Om aha and had gotten near the Platte river where workmen were Improv ing the road, he turning out to go around -the gang of workmen when the spindle broke and the wheel was lost. However, as the truck was com- ! ins behind with two mixers for Om aha, the car was towed into Omaha where the necessary repairs were made. It is encouraging, however, that the mixers are going out all the time. School Notes The juniors had a class meeting Wednesday evening. There have been several new pu r.ils ia the grades this week. The Rhetoric class of the tenth grade is studying forms of expres pian. The fifth and sixth grade room was decorated for St. Patrick's day last week. -The Caesar class finished the sec ond book of Caesar's Commentaries this week. The English literature class has been reading the play "She Stoops to Conquer" by Goldsmith. Do not iforget the Senior class play, March 24th. Get your reserve seats at Adams drug store. The teachers seem to be growing younger with the approach of 6pring, being especially good at skipping rope. The Food study class in Home Economics have been taking up the study of Pastry this week. They have teen making various kinds of pies' in the labratory. Eecause of sickness it was thought best to postpone the Parent-Teachers Asociation meeting which was to have been held at the school house Tuesday evening. Miss Alpha Peterson, our county superintendent, was in town last Monday, she visited school a little while, but owing to the condition of the roads she was obliged to !eave on the freight. Miss Hazel spent considerable time in trying to dttect the two 'best spellers in her room. The occasion being the chance of a trip to Platts mouth Saturday to take part in the county contest. The Agriculture and Domestic Science class made a trip to the flour mill Wednesday morning. Mr. St. John showed them over the establish ment, explaining to them ihow the flour was made. It was very inter esting trip. The . Agriculture class has finished the study of wheat while the Home Economics class is about to take up the stud' of flour. THE ROMANY SEEENADERS The male quartet which 'has at tained such wonderful work and which is on the Midland Lyceum course will appear at Union on Fri day of this week when they will give one of the test entertainments that is now on the chatauqua platform. On account of the stringency of the times during the early portion of the lyceum course there was not enough interest manifested to have a large crowd as was desired and the few who guaranteed are at this time fac ing a deficit of some $8 each. Better get behind this last number and all get cut and get the worth of your money and a little more, and also as sist in bearing the porportunate ex pense for when the ones who seek to make the entertainment of the city worth while it is not just the thing to allow them to bear the bruint of the expense. WILL GIVE ASSISTANCE Hon. E. M.

CONVICTS TO EE PUT TO WORK ON HIGHWAYS Lincoln. March 17. Rather than keep the 600 convicts in the Nebras ka penitentiary shut in during the summer, the board of control will reduce the pay schedule to meet pri vate contract prices on public high way. A. E. Allyn, member of the board, announced today. His announcement followed a statement from Secretary George E. Johnson of the state department of public works that the department could not afford to pay the SI, a day for convicts, besides maintenance and guards, in the face of lower pri vate contract costs this spring.

OPPOSE TOO GREAT GRANT OF AMNESTY House Judiciary Committee Unwill ing to Make Recommendation to President on Pardons. Washington, March 16. In the face of apparent and outspoken op position, lawyers and representatives of various liberal organizations pleaded with the .house judioiary committee today to report a resolu tion asking the president to give "careful consideration" to the pro priety of gronting immediate amnes ty to 113 political prisoners, serving long terms for violation of the es pionage act. Committeemen indicat ed that the resolution never would pass, insisting that congress had no right to direct the president-in such matters, especially because of the lack of opportunity to review the cases. Gilbert E. Roe, an attorney of New York, who advocated the gen eral principal of amnesty, said when questioned that he saw no impropri ety in requesting the president, the attorney general and the secretary of war to look into the appeals be cause "the resolution seems as harm less as the four-power treaty." There were many clashes between members of the committee and wit nesses. Representatives Yates, republican,-Illinois, charged that Rep resentative London, socialist. New York, author of the resolution, who declared he would free men convict ed of violence of they did so because of a deep religious feeling, was ad vocating violence, which Mr. London was quick to deny. Another verbal clash centered around Harry Weinberg, a New York lawyer, one time counsel for Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the draft dodg er, who added that he had "nothing whatever to do with Bergdoll's es cape" .in a tilt with Representative Reavis, republican, Nebraska. Wein berg said he would express his "opin ion on political and economic ques tions at any time and any place, de pite the supreme court of the Unit ed States. Frequent references were made to the pardon of Eugene V. Debs and on this point some of 'the witnesses expressing conflicting, views. Many agreed, however, that President Harding's list of Christmas pardons contained the names of persons who should have served their terms, which they insisted were offenses more serious than those charged against "political prisoners." It was contended that no overt acts were committed by the later. Must be Cash Hereafter the sales to local people by the Nehawka Farmers' Grain com pany must be for cash only.
