Two sloughs near Wilber would be flooded by darning a stream, the Crete News explained. am* At Pawnee City the water crisis which has threatened in vary- I ing degrees for several years, has finally come to an end. Water is flowing into the city reservoirs from a new well 7 miles away. Pawnee City has had a water shortage for months and use of water has been restricted during much of the time. Water from the new well and pipeline was put into use a few days earlier than | expected because of a continued shortening of the supply in older wells. * * a At Bridgeport, Nebraska business is brisk in the farm equip- | ment business. The Bridgeport News-Blade revealed that an In ternational dealer there had added eleven new employees during February to take care of the demand for sales and service from the firm. • • • The Dakota County Star, published at South Sioux City, re vealed that gang fights are looming in that area. South Sioux police are watching a local gang carefully after hearing reports j that a Sioux City gang was planning an attack. Some South Sioux youths have already been accosted and beaten, the Star reported. • • • West Point firemen enjoyed a feed last week with a menu of coons and beaver. 17 men ate 2 coons and a beaver and declared the meal delicious. For many of the men, the unusual meal was their first taste of such things. • • • The Fire Department at Red Cloud has given a check for $1000 to the Red Cloud Boy Scouts to aid their building fund. The Scouts are hoping to get enough money together to build a cabin in the City Park. The cabin will cost an estimated $5000, according to the Red Cloud Commercial Advertiser. • • • Three old diesel engines at the Consumers Public Power plant at Loup City are being dismantled and will be sold for scrap ac cording to the Sherman County Times. The engines, which would still operate, had grown too small to handle the present-day load and were considered too expensive to operate under present condi tions. The three engines weigh an estimated 70 tons, the news paper stated. Every newspaper reaching the news desk of The Enterprise this week, told of the rush to ASC offices over the state to sign up for Soil Bank payments. And without exception, farmers were placing the maximum amount of ground in the soil bank and taking as large payments as the law allows. Several newspapers showed large groups waiting to be signed up. • • • At Lexington a group interested in community concerts, is making an effort to sell tickets for a series of community concerts. Lexington's next concert will be heard March 14th when “Longmes Symphonette” will appear, stated the Dawson County Herald. • • • <**{»■ Members of the Atokad Racing Association, which operates the new parimutuel race track at Dakota City, has petitioned the Dakota County Commissioners to build a road across the bed ol Crystal Lake. This would provide a cut-off route from Highway 20 to Highway 73 and 77 and prevent some congestion in the South Sioux City business district during the racing season. • * • At Ogallala a new office building is being opened. It provides j offices for legal firms and boasts a complete law library. An in surance firm also is occupying a portion of the building. Complete ly air conditioned, the one-story building is located away from a congested area. A circle drive goes around the building and a parking space at the rear is one of the features. • • • Redistricting of the county’s school districts is a big topic of conversation at Ord this week. Many districts have indicated a desire to consolidate and, as usual, there are some individuals who are objecting to the move. School house bonds at Ord were sold last week at 3%. The town sold $110,000 worth of the bonds which will be retired on a 20-year basis. The money will be used to reconstruct the portion of the Ord School which was destroyed by explosion earlier in the Heart Sunday Canvass Is Feb. 24 CUM AX or HEART FIND DRIVE SCHEDULED-*; ailing atten tion to the statewide and nationwide residential canvaos Sunday.

HEALTH and SClCEl THE COMMON COID-HOW TO FIGHT IT What causes a cold ? That's a baffler. Men of science have been trying to solve the mystery for centuries. Youngsters under 10 catch twice as many colds as adults. 1 hat s one or the rew corn lacts / that have been proved conclu sively. But adults don't escape thcm-not by any means! In the next sixty days Amer icans will be fighting i!5 million colds. Cold sufferers lose $500 million a year in lost pay. They’ll spend $100 million a year on rem edies — though a pill or potion that will actually cure a cold is yet to be found. And the red noses, coughs and sneezes are un countable. But that doesn’t mean that you ean’t do anything about coida. Doctors advise staying away from people with colds as one good way to avoid them. Keeping in top physical condition, eating well balanced meals, plenty of sleep and rest, wearing suitable clothes when the weather is bad so you don't get chilled or wet all these help you avoid coida. But, despite all precautions, if you do get one-bundle yourself into bed, If you can. If you must go out keep warm and dry and get lot* of sleep. Nourishing foods and plenty 3f liquids are advised, too. As to the medicine problem, lemon and baking soda is as effec tive a cold remedy as any yet discovered. Take a half glass of water, the juice of a fresh lemon and a half teaspoon of soda a couple of times a day. It was .Grandma’s favorite concoction and still is with many knowledge able people. It’s particularly good with children who are apt to hate anything that comes out of a medicine bottle. Best thing about this remedy— you can vary the taste. A tea spoon of sugar or of honey makes it quite palatable. A teaspoon or two of maraschino cherry juica gives it a pleasing pink coloring. Children will actually enjoy it. So if you, or your family, come down with the sneezes and wheezes this winter - remember, you have the ingredients for fighting it right in your kitchen. Best dressed sport player, A. Parks.
