GREENWOOD
Thero was, some joy at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Johnson,
when the stork brought them a very
fine baby girl early last week.
Air. and Mrs. Ben Howard were
guests for the day last Sunday at the
home of Watson Howard and wife,
where all enjoyed the occasion very
much.
Judge W. E. Hand was able to be
down town for a short time one day
last week and get shaved, and was
pleased to meet his many friends and
greet them, though he is not very
strong as yet.
Mr. and Mrs. John Grady purchas
ed recently a piece of property from
the Clymer estate, which they im
mediately moved into, and are now
feeling pretty well, thank you, and
occupying their own home.
Uncle William Buck is reported as
being among those who are down
with the flu. Mr. Buck, who is ad
vanced in years, is not as strong as
formerly, but being a good fighter,
he is pulling through nicely.
Mrs. David Apphum has been visit
ing for some time at the home of a
brother, who resides near Lincoln
and during the time has been con
fined to her bed with an attack of flu.
She is, however, some better at this
time.
George Kamm moved during the
past week to the farm of O. A. John
son, east of Greenwood, and will farm
the coming summer. He has been re
siding in the Otto Brinkman property
and with his vacating of this place,
it is now being occupied by O. E.
McClure.
Ira Schaeffcr and wife, of Torring
ton. Wyoming, have been visiting
here as guests at the home of Rob
ert Matthews and were also made
the more pleasant visit as Mrs. Belle
Wilson, mother of Mrs. Matthews, of
Manhattan, Kansas, was present, all
enjoying the visit very much.
Clifford Armstrong and family,
who are making their home at Nor
folk, were visiting for the past week
with relatives and friends at Green
wood, where they resided during the
past year. Mr. Armstrong is travel
ing out of that place. The family
are enjoying living in Norfolk, but
Greenwood friends look pretty good
to them.
Mrs. W. A. Armstrong entertained
at her home on last Friday the Kings'
Daughters, the young ladies class of
the Christian church, at which a very
pleasant afternoon was had. The
next meeting will be with Mrs. War
ren Boucher, which will be on March
l.rtli. All come and make this a fin
gathering and an inspiration to ail
who are working for the cause of the
Master.
Greenwood Transfer Line
We do a general business make
trips regularly to Omaha on Monday
and Thursday, also to Lincoln Tues
day and Friday. Pick up loads on
these trips. Full loads at any time.

Enjoyed Splendid Evening
The ladies of the Greenwood Gen
eral Kensington entertained their
husbands and friends at a gathering
at the I. O. O. F. hall, where the en
tertaining game of 500 was the theme
of the evening. All enjoyed Vie card
games, and particularly delightful
were the refreshments in the form
of an excellent luncheon which was
served by the ladies. Evan Armstrong
was the winner of the first prize and
if you want to know who received
the consolation prize, you might ask
George Bucknell.
Will Grow Good Porkers
A number of the young men of
Greenwood and vicinity are organ
ized to compete with themselves and
witli tli- world in growing good
hogs. They have called themselves
the Greenwood Industrial boys and
met last Saturday, March 2nd, to per
fect their organization. The follow
ing were elected officers: Austin
Kyles. president (and a good one at
that); Ralph Meyers, vice president
(and no better selection could have
been made). In selecting a secre
tary, they were indeed fortunate in !
that they were able to secure Everett
Reese. Their yell leader is to be
George Rouse, a young man who is
......1.. ....ill ...... 1 : tt. ..I r.. tl,:. : . I
surely well qualified for this position
When it came to picking some one to
write the news of the organization,
they selected Millard Anderson, and
he will keep the doings of the new
club before the public thru the med
ium of the press. They will embark
in the growing of good pigs and hogs
a projec t in which they should at
tain the greatest success.
Much Water in Streets
Greenwood, like many other places,
had an excess of water when the
snow began to melt and as the street
is somewhat flat, there is not much
place for the water to go. and the fire
pump had to be pressed into service
to keep some of the cellars from be
ing flooded.
Post Gets New Gavel
Greenwood post of the American
fegion is one of
two posts in this
it will receive one:
part of the state tba
f State Commander Ware Martin's
gavels, awarded to those posts which
on February 15th had equaled or
exceeded their membership quotas for
the year. The other post was that
at Louisville, organized only a year
ago. and consequently not having ,
ijuch a high mark to shoot at. Tne sons interested in said matter by
Greenwood boys are hustlers, have a 'publishing a copy of this order in

undertaking of such proportions, all'
indications point to a record attend

for Greenwood post doesn't do
things by halves.

H. DUJCBURY,
County. Judge.
O'Brien Quits
Position as Supt.
State Fisheries
Long Period of Faithful Service Does
Not Beget Single Press Criti
cism of His Methods.
It is with sincere regret we an
nounce that W. J. O'Brien has sent
in his resignation as State Superin
tendent of Fisheries. We have known
"Bill" ever since he arrived in Ne
braska, in June, 1887, and became an
employe of what was then known as
the Santee Fisheries.
After working of seven years, he
was elevated to the position of fore
man in 1894, and in 1896 was ap
pointed superintendent by the Board
of Fish Commissioners.
In 1899, during the Poynter ad
ministration-, it was the custom to
send political pluggers down from
Lincoln to work at the Fisheries and
it did not take O'Brien long to tell
the powers what he thought of this
kind of help and he promptly sent
in his resignation and went to Wis
consin as superintendent of the Cole
man Lake club Hatcheries and Game
Preserve, now one of the largest pri
vate hatcheries and game preserves
in the country.
When Savage became governor,
without solicitation, the Courier edi
tor and many other republicans urg
ed him to send O'Brien a commission,
and he was finally pievailed upon to
return.
We were a member of the party
that accompanied Governor Savage
and his secretary, Mr. Lindsay, when
he came down to look over the Fish
eiies. After looking over the insti
tution the executive was asked what
he thought of conditions after 17
months of mismanagement and he rc
plied that it looked as though some
poor widow had been running things
there.
So, on July 1st, 1901, Bill again
took charge and for eighteen years,
until August, 1919, he was in entire
control of Fisheries work and in all
that time we canr.ot recall a single
press criticism. Some record, espec
ially in these days when it is com
mon for newspapers to criticize the
work of public officers of opposite
political faith.
During this period the Universal
game and fish license bill became a
law, having been introduced and put
through by Hon. Chris Metzger, a
member of the house from this coun
ty, this legislation putting the work
of fish culture and game and fish
protection on a self-supporting basis
instead of by appropriations out of
the general fund.
Also, during this period the Val
entine fish hatchery was established
and the Benkleman private hatchery
purchased, and the new fish car built,
the most modern state car in the
United States.
In 1919, McKelvie's code law be
came effective and the Fisheries
work was placed under the Secretary
of Agriculture, and the hatcheries
were placed under separate manage
ment. In 1920, O'Brien built a home
at South Bend, to get away from the
heavy entertaining that he and his
wife had kept up at his private ex
pense while living at the hatcheries.
When Bryan became governor in
1923, he issued an order that Bill
must move back to the hatchery and
become subordinate to the chief game
warden.
While there had never been any
friction between the warden and
himself, he did not relish the idea of
becoming a subordinate to a man who
knew nothing of fish culture, a con
clusion in which the writer concurs,
and Bill promptly sent in his resig
nation.
Governor Bryan gained nothing
by trying to humiliate a faithful and
competent public servant because he
was not a democrat, and Governor
McMullen promtply reinstated him as
general superintendent as soon as he
was inaugurated.
When O'Brien became superintend-
end in 1896, the appropriation for
two years amounted to about $6,000.
Now the income from licenses and
other sources amounts to about $190,
000 per year, and we believe this
condition has been brought about
largely through the efforts of the man
jwho ia now iaying down the cares of
I Tile: nnulUnn
his position.
At the time Bill became an em
ployee of the Board of Fish Commis
sioners, his monthly salary was $40.
He has seen this grow to $250 per
month, advancement that any man
might be proud of and, we believe,
well deserved. Louisville Courier.

New Flood
Peril Faced
at Ashland
Fear Breaking Up of Ice in the
Platte River Will Result in
Greater Damage
Ashland felt some relief Friday
when waters from Salt creek receded
eight or nine inches.
But grave apprehension concern
ing the Platte river, still icebound,
remained with the flood fighters. It
s believed that when the river be
gins to "break up" a still greater in
undation will cover a town now suf
fering from one of the worst Hoods in
its history.
Business and central residential
sections of Ashland were isolated
from the rest of the town by flood
water Friday. Farmers were mar-
rooned. Trucks were stalled on the
L. D. highway, with wheels and
gears under water.
One of the town's few rowboats
made the rounds of the flooded dis
tricts, taking orders for- food from
marooned families. The rowboat
then turned delivery boat, distribut
ing coffee, sugar, meat and othev
provisions to residents whose homes
stood In three foot of water.
The high point of the flood came
at 11:30 p. m. Thursday. At the
time all low-lying lands were flooded
to an average depth of three feet.
The Harris family, farmers south
west of town, were marooned all
night. Their home, barn and sheds
stood in deep water. The family or
Charles Glade moved their furniture
to the home of relatives who lived
on higher ground.
Saved in Boats
A dozen families, including many
women and children, were rescued
from their homes in the southeast
section of Ashland by a crew of four
men manning rowboats.
Roads and railroad trackage were
blocked. It was impossible to get
within 400 yards of the Burlington
depot except by ferry, it was report
ed. Thirty blocks of the city was
inundated. The water area extended
from a mile south of Ashland, north
into the city, east almost to the na
tional guard camp at the Platte, and
many low sections north of the city
were inundated, it was reported.
Ice James Cause Flood
Cause of the flood was explained
by county officials as follows:
Salt creek on one side of the town.
Clear and Wahoo on the other, thaw
ed heavily. Emptying into tin:
Platte the waters were turned back
by the ice jams on the wig river.
Ice on the Platte is from 20 to 30
inches thick.
Crews of 15 men each were main
tained on watch at the Burlington
and Chicago & North Western rail
road bridges across the Platte .-.f
Fremont.
Wahoo creek, which crosses the
D. L. D. half way between Clear
creek and Ashland, was reported
rising. Omaha Bee-News.

Coliseum, Lincoln, Neb., March 8.
St. Paul and Hastings high schools
for the 1920 Nebraska interscholastic
basketball championship. That is the
sports dish that will be served at the
University of Nebraska coliseum Sat
urday night.
The Saints, defending champions,
and Hastings, winner of the Mid
State league title, won the right to
compete for the highest prep honors
by winning semifinal games Friday
night. The semiwindup in Class A
produced a pair of thrillers, with
St. Paul being forced to smother a
York rally and come from behind to
win, 2a to 20.
Finalists Stop Rallies
Hastings pulled the same stunt to
beat Lincoln high, 20 to 18. York
and Lincoln had chances to win and
pulled into the lead a few minutes
before the final srun. but in each case
the finalists crashed in with the nec-
essarv margin. '
It will be the first meeting: be-
tween St. Paul and Hastiners this
season. Coach Pat Panek's St. Paul
team is undefeated for the season.
while Coach Dwight Thomas Hast-
ings five has bowed only to Lincoln,
in an early season came one the
Adams ronntv court. St. Paul won
the state title last year and Hast-
ings was edged out of the running
in the semifinals.
Against York.' Center Art Lynch
and Forward Keith Davis drove home
St. Paul's winning points. Lynch
bombarded the hoop for 18 points
while Davis, dormant most of the
game, broke loose to count the lastr,abor j. J. Davis for approval, the
five points and put the game on ice. I senate Tuesday adopted a resolution
York Takes Brief Lead.
St. Paul led. 10 to 4. at the quar-
ter and 12 to 6 at the half. It look-
ed like a cinch for the Saints until
the third quarter. The Apostles had
stretched the margin to 16 to 6 when
suddenly the Yorkers started sinking
the ball from all angles and pulled
ahead. 17 to 1. Then the score was
tied. 20 to 2. wheu Keith Davis went
on a scoring party and shot the
county to 25 to 20.

There is a plain disposition at the

The leaders do not intend to be die-
