While he Is how a resident of Tarkio, Missouri, teaching in the college at that place, he very generously accepted the in vitation to again assist this year. The acceptance made necessary his driving back and forth during the teaching week, holding his classes in the morrfing and being here in the afternoon and evening and his sacri nee of this time certainly is appre ciated by the residents of this sec tion and particularly those Interest ed in the success of the King Korn Karnival.

Korn Karnival Draws to Close Amidst Rainfall Final Day of Colorful Four Day Event Is Disappointment, But Two Schools Stage Parade. Saturday, the final day of the King Korn Karnival, was one that damp ened the chances of making the day one of glorious climax of the very successful celebration and the steady rainfall caused the abandonment of all of the platform program and the midway attractions remained closed in the steady downpour of the entire day. The day was to have been featured by the rural school parade and with the rainfall that started early Sat urday morning, this feature was thought to have been abandoned. The King Korn committee were agreeably surprised in the afternoon when two of the schools of the coun ty arrived here with their floats, that of district No. 64 of near Alvo of which Miss Bernice Knabe 13 the teacher and that of district No. 15 of near Nehawka, of which Miss Velma Fulton is the teacher. The floats and the children and teacher were given much commendation for their fine spirit that was not daunted by the rainfall. The floats that appeared for the parade were awarded cash prizes and the teachers congratulations on the fine showing that they had made. The judges were Mrs. E. H. escott, Freeman McFarland and Miss Anna Peoples. Miss Knabe has only two boys In her school. In order to bring the float she drove from Lincoln to Alvo then by way of Omaha to Platts mouth. Miss Fulton, brought her group 22 miles. The1 floats were de corated after they arrived. Since the two rated so closely, equal prizes were given to each.
