Monday was St. Patrick’s Day. Did
you Ret onto Pete’s brogans since?
Mrs. A. C. Evans left this morning
to join her husband at Goodland,
Kas. May good luck follow them.
The Junior Bible Class of the M. E.
church held their annual St. Patrick’s
Day banquet in the class parlors last
Monday evening. Afioutthirty mem
bers were present, and a most delight
ful time is reported.
Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Douglas came
up from Aurora last week Thursday,
remaining till Monday for a visit with
A. M. Lewis and family. The ladies
are sisters. The visit was made of
eepecial importance because of the ar
rival of that bouncing baby boy at
the home of Ed Lewis.
J. H. Burwell for
Supt. City Schools
The school board met at the office
of J. S. Pedler Monday night and
after full discussion of the merits of
the less than half hundred applica
tions for the position of superinten
dent of our city schools, unanimously
focussed their consent upon the ap
plication of Prof. J.H. Burwell, who at
present is principal of the Rockville
schools. It was surprising the num
ber of applications which had poured
in on the devoted heads of the honor
able board, the secretary having a
small armload of letters showing up
the unquestionable ability of the ap
plicants, which were carefully com
piled, examined, sifted and then dis
posed of. Prof. Burwell is a mostsuc
cessful and widely known teacher in
the state, who has been in the work
for perhaps twenty or more years, has
a widely diversiiied experience in the
school room and is at once intimately
interested in Sherman county educa
tional matters from a financial stand
point as well as that of an educator,
owning landed interests and a home
here, having a line farm a few miles
south of this city. We believe the
board has acted most wisely in the
selection of Prof. J. II. Burwell as
superintendent of our city schools for
the coming school year. The hour
being late when the action upon su
perintendent was taken, the board
adjourned till this week Saturday
evening to continue their work of
selecting the balance of the corps of
teachers.
Male Medicos
Next on Nerve
No one doubts the nerve of our
medical men to answer calls in all
sorts of weather, and at all times
o’nights but it devolved upon our
new woman medico. Dr. Carrie L.
Bowman, to show them that the
male gender have noo all the grit
going. Last Friday morning, about
3 o'clock, when the big blizzard was
just in the height of its fury, a hurry
phone call came to Dr. Carrie to visit
a patient about half way to Rockville.
In spite of the protestations of her
partner in the joys and sorrows of
life as well as in medics, that he
would make the trip in her stead, and
that she must not attempt to answer
said call, she ordered the liveryman
to take her to the bedside of the sick.
They started all right, but when about
three miles from town they were
obliged to abandon the team and
trudged down the railroad track on
foot, reaching their destination some
four miles further without serious
mishap, other than total physical ex
haustion. We speak of this to em
phasize the fact that'man is a tyro,
when compared to woman in any walk
of life, and we don’t care a whoop
who knows we say and think so.
NOT HARD TO STOP HAZING
Good Results Have Followed Deter
mined Purpose to Put an End
to College Foolishness.
Hazing, which used to be rampant
; at West Point and Annapolis, has
[ been pretty well suppressed through
the energy with which it has been
combated by the federal authorities.
Under the nrgings of the Inquirer and
other newspapers, which detested and
denounced a brutal practice, congress
enacted legislation whose loyal and
energetic enforcement has served to
stamp the evil out. An instance-of it
is reported once in a While, but usual
ly in a materially modifies! and com
paratively unobjectionable form, and
the convicted offender 1b punished
without any demoralizing indulgence.
This is a gratifying reform for whose
consummation President Taft de
serves a large measure of credit.
At other than the two colleges con
ducted by the government hazing con
tinues to a greater or less extent, and
with a varying measure of severity,
and within the past few days cases
have been reported in which one
young man died from tho effects of
his comrades’ ill-treatment, while an
other youth was so seriously Injured
that his life is endangered. This In
dicates an unsatisfactory situation. It
shows the continued existence of an
evil which needs to be eradicated and
demonstrates the necemdty for some
remedial action sufficiently drastic
to be oftecttvely restrictive and ad
monitory. Would-be hazers must be
frightened into good behavior.—Phila

Hansen’s Bail
Fixed at $700
Morden Hansen, arrested on sus
picion of being the Boelus firebug of
a week or so ago, and who had a pre
liminary examination, was held under
$700 bail to appear in the coming
Howard county district court, his
brother putting up the necessary for
his appearance.
A. L BailTie ,
Likes Oregon
In a letter recently received from
our old friend, A. L. Baillie, at
Clackamas, Oregon, in which he re
mits for more Northwestern reading,
he has this to say: “We are nicely
situated here and very comfortably
surrounded, with beautiful scenery
and the most agreeable neighbors,
but yet, for all that, there still re
mains a lingering, unquenchable
fascination, a feeling that one cannot
down, for old friends and haunts.
Such feelings as I have described
makes your paper always doubly wel
come. Mrs. Baillie joins with me in
sending best regards to yourself and
all old friends.”
Hiked Home in
Friday’s Fury
Remember last week Friday? We’ll
wager one bunch of good fellows will
remember it for many a day. We re
fer to Henry Ojendyk and his hiking
companions who were here as wit
nesses in district court last week, and
the trains not running and no auto,
team or other mode of conveyance
being rentable, purchasable, lilrable,
nor getatable, and wanting to get to
Ashton, concluded to hot-foot it in
the afternoon for home and fireside.
In fact, however, their nerve was no
more in evidence than their ability,
as a wireless from Ashton stated the
boys got over the ten mi'.e^of territory
on tie-tickets by 9 o’clock that even
ing, leaving here just after dinner.
It is said they side-tracked at
Schaupps for a time to coal, water
and oil up, but made fair schedule
time the entire distance.
If it isn't right, Schwaner, the
Jeweler, will make it right. See him
for all repair work in the jewelryline.

His Minnesota Home
Brooks, Minn., March 10,191.3.
Editot Northwestern:
Dear Sir—Neither George nor my
self have as yet received any copies
of the Northwestern and we believe
that we are still subscribers. Our ad
dress is Brooks. Minnesota.
We arrived here with our three
cars and were fortunate enough to
have our new neighbors come in with
their bob-sleds and help us move in
to our new homes. In spite of the
snow, this country looks good to us.
There are more immigrants arriving.
Six families arrived week before last,
coming here with their household
goods and horses from Illinois and
Iowa. We do not knowhow many ar
rived last week. One fine thing we
have discovered here is' the water.
George says it is the first time in
several years that he has not been
troubled with <1 pain in his back, and
he believes it is the good water. In
fact he felt s6 fine over it that he
threw his cane into the top of a North
ern Birch tree. Of course we can not
say any thing as yet about crops, but
some of our neighbors report big yields.
We have been very busy moving and
fixing up but have enjoyed the new
ness of it all. We find many things
much cheaper here; as for instance,
lumber, hard coal and many other
things. Our families arrived here
and looked eagerly at every thing
surrounding their new homes, and
like it much better than they thought
they would. George’s boy, Vern.
started to school this morning. He
has not quite half a mile to go, where
there is a nice looking, good sized
school house with a bell on it, which
can be heard for quite a distance.
Fuel is cheaper here. There are
plenty of groves, and it costs very
little to keep warm. Trusting that
we receive the Northwestern, I re
main, Very truly yours,
W. S. Pktkkson.

Healthy Clothes
DON’T suppose you ever gave it a thought that some
clothes were healthier than others. It’s true though
and especially on boys’ clothes. Most boys’ clothes are sold
for so low a price that some manufacturers make them in
sweat shops, by foreign labor, a great many of whom live
and work under disease spreading conditions. These geims
are easily breathed and transferred right into the clothes
