the Newkirk Market and Grocery,
who has made such a success of the
' business here, was a visitor in Oma-
Iha for a number of days last week,
looking over the market and making
purchases for the store at Greenwood.
Under the superintendancy of Lar
ry Leesley, there was held a very

of the opportunity to obtain some
very fine stock for their farms and
dairies.

thousand bushels of corn, from last

was engaged in farming. Mr. Brown

parted immediately to be present at

ance possible in the hour of sorrow
which has come to the family as well
as to herself.

tion of his home on the D. L. D. high
way, which will make a fine home
for this excellent gentleman and his
good wife. The work is to be done by
Mr. Gust Sorman the contractor and
builder and this fact assures the ex
ecution of the work in the best possi
ble manner. The work will be push
ed forward as rapidly as the weather
will permit.
Proved Their Brotherhood.
The members of the I. O. O. F.
lodge of Greenwood in a demonstra

hold most dear, mutual assistance
and caring for the members of their
order and also of the members of the

partmeniS
and Surrounding Vicinity
last Friday they went to the home of
their sister, Mrs. Opal Hartsook, and
sawed up the wood, which a short
time since they had gone to the tim
ber and chopped and hauled to her
home. The members of the lodge
sawed and split it and placed it un
der shelter that it may be ready when
the cold days of winter come. The
members of the Rebeckah Assembly,
in keeping of the principles of the
organization which they belong, sup
plied the workers with eats as well
as Mrs. Hartsook, who they dined
with and gave assurance in a real
way that they were indeed her sis
ters. '
Received the Teachers.
A community affair which com
bined the reception of the teachers
of the schools of Greenwod and the
new minister of the Methodist church
the Rev. L. S. Jeffreys, who has been
returned to the charge at Greenwood
for the coming year, was held last
week. A very worthwhile program
was given by the committee having
the matter in hand and a most enjoy
able time was had by all that at
tended the gathering. The teachers
who are to instruct our public schools
and the minister who is to con
tinue to break the bread of life to
the members of his flock here were
surely given to understand the peo
ple of Greenwood appreciate their
labor in the city.
Greenwood School Notes.
Out of the 142 children given the
physical test last week, 53 were re
ported as having defective eyes, 3
with poor ears, 30 with bad throats
or nose and 42 with defective teeth.
This means that 37, or consider
ably better than one-third, of the
total enrollment have poor eyes
which have not been corrected by
glasses or who are not wearing the
glasses after the eyes have been so
corrected. Another startling fact is
noticed when we see only two cases
of bad eyes reported in the lower
room, and two in the 3rd and 4th
grades while the intermediate rooms
report 17 cases, the grammar room
16 and the high school 16 more. This
would seem to indicate that eye
trouble is met with considerably after
the child has started to school. The
board have tried to meet their part
of the situation by having electric
lights installed this year which will
help out a great deal during the dark
winter days, but if the eyes are very
bad, glasses may very likely be the
only real remedy.
Thirty per cent of the pupils had
bad teeth. This" is especially bad
when it is considered that no account
is taken of any in the lower rooms
who have their "baby set." Some
are already in so bad condition pull
ing is the only help.
Bad throats and noses come third
with 21 for the entire school.
Many of these have very bad cases of
tonsils; while there were nineteen
cases where children had poor eyes,
teeth and throats combined.
Parents, may we not ask your co
operation in raising the physical
standard of our school? Lets make
physical tests of real value to our
community.
The game with Alvo last Friday
was called off by Supt. Dale of that
place because so many of his players j
were ineligible because of low grades.:
Get busy, boys; we would like to
play you some time.
We have a 100 enrollment !
among our teachers in the Nebraska
State Teacher's Asociation. Our as
sociation's motto is; "Better teach
ers and better' schools."
Miss Clark attended the Wesleyan

6 to 0 on the local diamond. Welton

EED CE0SS ALWAYS HELPS
I was in St. Louis when the great
tornado plowed its swath of terror
and destruction across the middle
west. It was a wonderful thing to
stand on the side lines and watch the
Red Cross mobilize for action.
With the speed of a carefully ton
structed machine, and yet with the
sureness and certainty that only
organized intelligence could insure,
a few hours brought results that a
few years ago would have been im
possible.
Doctors and nurses came in answer
to the summons; railroad officials
sat in the1 Red Cross office and clear
ed their tracks, called out equipment
and personnel ready to speed to the
scene of disaster; hospital equipment
and supplies trundled in trucks over
the bridge o East St. Louis terminal
and were loaded upon waiting trains
with almost inconceivable haste, and
yet without distracting hurry. The
material of relief was gathered, load
ed, and before midnight went steam
ing off through the night upon its
errand of succor and mercy. The
whole ( episode furnished the never
failingi inspiration for the addresses
of the weeks . that followed, and
never failed in its impressions upon
those who listened.

Some
reasons for Red Crown's
DEPENDABILITY
Red Crown Gasoline is a pedigreed product the re
sult of two generations of refining experience.
It may fairly be called a home product, for the Stand
ard Oil Company of Nebraska is chartered under the
laws of Nebraska and is a state corporation. Prac
tically its entire business is in Nebraska, and it is
bound up with the life and progress of the State.
Other concerns individuals or companies may come
and go. With no permanent investment involved,
they can open up or close up as a chance for profit
appears or passes: the Standard Oil Company of Ne
braska years ago undertook the responsibility of meet
ing the requirement of Nebraska motorists from one
end of the State to the other. It goes where it is
needed.
That is why motorists everywhere in Nebraska turn
naturally to Red Crown when away from home. They
know it is always the same whether in a remote
hamlet or on a crowded city street the same depend
able gasoline, balanced in the correct proportions for
quick starting, power and economy.
So keep the Red Crown habit. Always fill up where
you see the Red Crown sign. You will get prompt,
obliging service, dependable, uniform, clean-burning
gasoline, and motor oils that assure protective lubri
cation. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA
