All children between the ages of seveix and fourteen years must attend the public schools during the next six months. The law requiring this ac tion became operative Monday, Nov. 26.

Daniel Baumann, living a few miles up the valley near H. B. Musser’s, met with a very painful accident, Monday evening, resulting in a badly sprained ankle, but luckily no bones were broken. A skunk had invaded his corn crib, and Mr. Baumann, in an endeavor to locate and kill the musky animal, fell from the top of the inside of the crib to the floor, giving him the bad sprain mentioned. He is able to be up and around, but his foot and ankle are badly swollen as a result of his experience. Just now about town the discussion as to who can pick the most corn in a given time is the leading theme among those interested. The Broken Bow Republican of last week told of a farmer boy in that county who shucked 113 bushels in nine hours, and whose record was later beaten by a 19-year-old boy who shucked 117 bushels in the same length of time. We met some farmer boys in the barber shop last Saturday who were ready to put up a good-sized wager that they had parties who could shuck 80 to 90 bushels a day for two weeks at a stretch. A wager of $25 was offered on our streets last week by a prominent stockman against anyone j who would claim to shuck 105 bushels I any day, but we have not heard of said wager being taken, although it is claimed a young fellow on a farm south of town claims to be able to do ' the act. The concert given at the church last Friday evening by the Presby terian choir, assisted by Bert P. McKinnie, was one of the finest musical entertainments given in this city within our knowledge. Every number elicited an encore and the hour and a half time during which the concert lasted was exceedingly enjoyable to all. The program as given in the Northwestern the past two weeks was carried out without change and there were no halts hor painful pauses during the entire time, but one number rapidly followed an other, and were a succession of sur prises from first to last in the cor rectness of rendition, sweetness of tone and intense musical interest. Space will not allow of following the program in detail, and it would be unjust to speak of one in an especial manner and not of each in particular. Suffice is to say, if you were not present you missed a rich musical treat. We trust the choir will give us another such a concert in the near future. A goodly number were pres ent and a neat sum realized. Along R. R.No. 1 John Heapy’s little girl is better.
