Seventy -Five of Residents to Join in
Securing Wood for use in the
Auditorium this Winter.
The citizens of Nehawka have
formed an organization which they
have called the "Would Bees." but
those who are more familiar with th?"
workings of the new club state that
it should be known as the "Wood
Bees," as the prime purpose of the
organization is to bring home thei
winter yule log as it were and to do j
a real service in community work.
It is planned on next Wednesday
to have the seventy-five members I
with twenty teams hasten out into I
the timber and spend the entire day '
in cutting and hauling wood that,
can be used for heating the munici
pal auditorium, the center of the
civic activities of the community. j
Thia is certainly real community
spirit andwith the usual pep of the
people of the thriving little city of
Nhawka it will be put over in great
shape or we badly miss a guess.

the state will have at least a small . ih stream for the season and the i greatest pleasure that came to me in
claim against the state.
No appropriation has been made
for the keeping of state prisoners in
county jails after conviction so thei
state auditor cannot issue warrants
in settlement of such bills. All he
can do is refer them to the finance
committee of the house of represen
tatives. It is alleged the state is morally
bound to pay counties who have been
obliged to keep prisoners longer
than thirty days after sentence.
What rate of pay shall be allowed
will have to be determined by the i
legislature. It has been proposed that
the state. pay the same rato now a 1- ;
lowed ly counties to snerins tor tne
keep of prisoners prior to conviction.
