Currier went down to Austin Saturday night and addressed the patrons of school districts Nos. 2, 19. and 28, on the subject of con solidation. The meeting was well attended, there being a good repre sentation from each district. The proposition is to consolidate the above three districts and ex tend the course of study to include the 10th grade. “Three points," said Professor Currier, "were to be considered. Transportation, efficiency ami ex l>ense. The first of these, the transportation, is practically elimi nated, as no child in the district would be over two miles from the proposed school. Of the second item, efficiency, there can be no question but that better and more uniform results can be accom plished by the consolidation." In regard to the exjtense, Pro fessor Currier asked those in at tendance to freely express their sentiments in regard to the ex pense of the consolidation, and many responded, the sentiment being unanimously in favor of the change. One speaker said that although he had no children, he was much interested in the project and thought that the exj«ense should be most cheerfully borne by the taxpayers of the district as the question of efficiency should come before exjiense. About the only expense in con nection with the consolidation will be the purchase of a site and the erection of a building, after which the maintenance expense will un doubtedly be considerably de ; creased.' TO THE PUBLIC I hereby retract th« statement. I made by me, on the streets oi Rockville, Nebraska, that during the night of dune 20th. 1915. Mr. dohn F. Kosch and Mr. R. E. Koseh, purloined three sacks of flour, from the premises of Mr. dohn Sobejewski. I know that said statement was false and unfounded and take this means of righting the wrong I have done the above parties. Peter Moog, Boelus, N’eb. — M rs. E. W. Thompson's Sunday school class gave Mrs. dulius ' Sorensen a miscellaneous shower |at her home Tuesday evening. Mrs. Sorensen received many use 1 ful articles. Refreshments were served, and an enjoyable time was j had by all those present. LOUP CITY TEAM WINS. The first of the week the Loup City Tennis club sent seven players to play against Broken Bow, de feating the latter city by a total of twenty-four games. Broken Bow has a club of twenty-one members and has a good reputa tion as a tennis, town so the work done by the players from this city was very creditable, especial ly considering the fact that our players went into the contest on the enemy’s courts, and after a fifty mile auto trip. . Most f th* a ones idoubles, J at which the Loop City team j excelled, the “singles'* games be ; ing a tie. ! _ BURGLARS GET NOTHING J. W.Thompson's billiard parlor was broke into some time Tuesday night. Two strangers were loiter ing around about closing time and saw Willard make change for a bill and the inference is that they supposed he left the money in the 'cash register over night. Such was not the case, however, as Mr. Thompson nightly banks the re ceipts in his hip pocket and the would-be thieves found nothing to repay them for the chances they took.
