However, the deep well at the Shel don factory is well filled with water and with the electric pump, which Is one of the pieces of equipment of the mill, it is not difficult to pump the large tank which holds five hundred gallons of water full of water. Mr. Sheldcn drives the truck with the tank on it to the side of the factory Luilding and turns on the current and within an hour or so pumps the tank full cf water.

Cats are cats! Keeping Scads in Condition In rider that the roads on which much labor and money have been ex pended may not be allowed to deter ioate, the highways leading into Ne hawka from the northwest, east and south are all being regraveled' at this time. There is a great deal of travel over these highways and like all the graveled roads they have to be re graveled from time to time as part of the gravel is washed away. The cost is much smaller than was expended on the original jcb and by renewing the gravel from time to time in thin ccats, it will be possible to maintain the reads in proper manner. The one leading south to No. 24 is particular ly used a great deal, but there is also plenty of traffic on the others which were originally graveled as detours and the work paid for out of state highway funds.

McClusky was a visitor in Nehawka last Sunday and delivered the commencement address at the auditorium for the closing of the Nehawka schools, delivering a most worth-while address and one very inspiring to the class.

The task of teach ing school is not filled with pleasure and short hours, as one might sup pose, but requires the burning of much midnight oil if one would im prove himself and seek to climb high er in his chosen profession. Like all the other vocations, it takes work and plenty of it to get to the top. Gave Illustrated Lectures Dr. Bell, cf Lincoln, whej has been Cats are Cats Yes, cats are cats, some good and some not so good, but the tender lit tle kitten calls for cur admiration when it is little and helpless and often when it has grown entwines it self about our heart strings, if we be so cat minded. However, there was a family and still is, in Nehawka who had a very nice little kitten that became endeared to all the household. While climbing: about over the home furnishings, as she was allowed to do, the cat slipped and in falling was im mersed in a bucket of paint, and me oh my, with a couple of meows, what a mess it made of the task of -jetting out and righting itself. The folks call ed up and made inquiry as to the proper method of taking paint stains cut, and we presume "have been fair- Completed School Terms Mrs. WTilliam Gorder, of Platts mouth, and Mrs. D. C. Rhoden, of north of Nehawka, who have been teaching school at Hidden Timber and Okcreek, South Dakota, arrived home last Saturday night, following the close of their respective schools the day before, arid are glad to be back home again, for there is a real drouth in that section of the country just now.
