P. II. Clarke, who has in mind the
raising of a new team for use on his
farm, had the misfortune to lose one
or his colts shortly after birth, and
so does not have the contemplated
two to start with.
I,. It. Stanley, the merchant, was a
visitor in Lincoln Tuesday of last
week, going to secure a truck load
of goods for the store, as he does
every week, and sometimes has to go
back after a second in order to sup
ply his trade.
The Ladies Aid of the Wabash
church met on Friday of last week
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Reichart. After transacting the busi
ness matters before them, a social
hour was enjoyed ending with the
serving of a delicious luncheon by
the hostess.
Mrs. Minton V. Wood and their
little daughter have been visiting in
Lincoln for the past week, during
which time they were awaiting pos
session of the home which they re
cently purchased at Elmwood. Mr.
Wood has been staying at the farm
cf his sister in the meantime.
John Gerdes, who recently pur
chased a farm tractor was using the
same last Wednesday to assist with
the work cf getting the ground in
readiness for the corn crop of War
ren T. Richards. This modern power
plant for farm work is proving a
great asset when it comes to speed
ing up the job.
Miss Myrtle Wood, who some time
ago had her barn transformed into a
Rcragc, is now having the same re
built in order that she may care for
her two automobiles, one for use in
carrying the mail in ordinary weath
er and the other when the roads are
muddy. George Dennis, of Weeping
Water, is doing the work.
is also greatly pleased oyer the ad
vent and wears a broad smile, and
why shouldn't he be well pleased,
with two fine little grandsons.
Suffers Very Severe Burns
A week ago last Saturday, as Carl
Schlaphoff was engaged in making
some repairs on a gasoline tank that
had sprung a leak, the gasoline re
maining in the tank became ig
nited and exploded, throwing the
burning fluid over his clothing. He
made frantic efforts to extinguish
the flames and then, not succeeding,
rushed to a partially filled water tank
nearby, plunging in In this way, tho
burning clothing was extinguished,
but not before he had suffered very
severe burns.
He is suffering intense pain from
the burns and much of the skin that
was burned is coming off. The worst
of the burns were about his hips, but
his legs and hand3 were also badly
scorched by the heat from the burn
ing gasoline.
Carl is confined to his bed, but
cannot find any position that affords
him much comfort, so has to suffer
from the pain, hopeful of a speedy
recovery. He is being cared for by
Dr. Lee, of Murdock, who has had a
great deal of experience in treating
burns and knows just what to do in
such an emergency.

C. L. Kelly, county treasurer of
Otoe county broke all known speed
records Thursday for getting a case
submitted to the Nebraska supreme
court.
He filed an appeal last Saturday.
Today both his attorneys and coun
sel for the county commissioners,
whom he is suing, filed their briefs,
and obtained permission to submit
the case to the court without oral
argument.
Usually, it takes several months
before both sides file their briefs and
submit the case to the court.
Kelly, in a friendly suit, is at
tempting to determine the legality
of an attempt to transfer $28,000
from a jail construction fund to a
fund for repair of the Otoe county
courthouse, in which the jail is lo
cated. The district court said the
transfer was legal, so Kelly appealed
to get a final and authoritative ad
judication in order to protect him
self and his bondsmen. The county
has a federal grant of $25,000 to
assist in financing the new construc
tion. The court house, built of adobe
brick, is CO years old, and the jail
is a part of it. The question was
whether funds set aside for the jail
could be used in part of the court
house. A contract has been let for
$55,000.
LAY NEW LINOLEUM
Lincoln, April 23. -Attorney Gen
eral William II. Wright Thursday
issued an opinion clarifying results
of the Nebraska supreme court de
cision permitting beer and liquor to
be sold on the same premises.
He made these suggestions:
1. Persons wishing to sell both
beer and liquor, both by the drink
and by the package, may apply to
their city councils, paying $250 a
year for a single license covering all
four types of sale. Drink liquor can
be sold, however, only in cities where
the people have sanctioned it at an
election. The license fee goes to the
city school fund.
2. Persons wishing to sell both
beer and liquor by the package
only should apply to the state liquor
commission, paying a single license
fee of $150, which should go to the
schools in the county where the
license holder will do business. It
will not be necessary, as in the past,
to apply to the city council for a
separate beer license.
3. Persons wishing to sell both
beer and liquor by the package and
in addition beer by the drink should
apply to the state commission for the
joint package license and to their
city councils for the beer drink sale
license.
4. As in the past, persons wishing
to sell liquor by the package only
should apply to the state commis
sion, and persons wishing to sell beer
only within a city should apply to
their city councils. The state com
mission also controls beer licenses in
rural areas.

Normal Trainers
Receive Teaching
Experience
inven Opportunity of Working in
Local Schools to Gain Prac
tical Experience.
A small group of girls of the Senior
class of our high school has spent at
least an hour a day for eight months
studying child psychology and meth
ods of teaching.
As some actual teaching experience
is required, these girls are testing
their ability in real practice this week
In our local schools. Several of the
girls have gained a little experience
by substituting an hour or so at var
ious times in case of sudden illness
on the part of a regular teacher. But
this type of work is rather haphazard,
and gives little opportunity to de
velop the best technique.
v Wednesday each girl observed the
work being done by the teacher in
the room to which she was assigned.
Then after careful plans were made,
with the help of the teacher, each one
returned to the same room on Friday
to teach under supervision.
This procedure is expected to give
each prospective teacher some idea
of actual school practice and a little
of the teacher's viewpoint rather
than the pupil's.
The following teachers and pupils
co-operated in this activity: Miss
Marie Nolting and Rosemary Cloidt
at Mercerville; Miss Helen Farley
and Margaret Henton at Central;
Miss Evelyn Lee and Mildred Wilson
at Central; Miss Dorothy Downey and
Marjorie Fitch at Columbian; Miss
Helen Hall and Mildred Allen at Co
lumbian; Miss Margaret Iverson and
Sophia Bierl at Columbian; Mrs
Sutherland and Louise Rishel at Win-
tersteen; Miss Wieland and Amber
Bonier at Wintersteen; Miss King and
Grace Louise Wiles at First Ward.
