matter which is being investigated A R Scott of the Electric Co who has seen militia service and regular ser vice in the Philippine is giving the matter epochal attention and any one interested is invited to see and con sult with him about the prospects No city in this portion of Nebraska is perhaps better situated or equipped for the organization of a company and we hope the desires and

some days past the pupils of the oity schools have been busy preparing for a penmanship contest From tho interest taken by teachers and pupils it is evident that writing still holds an im portant place in the modern school sys tem All of the grades from the preparatory to the graduating class in the high school took part It is a wonder that the children can write at all well having been started in the vertical system and later changed to tho slant It will be remembered that the whole country went wild on vertical penmanship a few years ago For a time some form of the vertical system was in use in 95 per cent of the graded schools of the country In the contest each pupil was assign ed an identification number which was placed on his paper without bis name1 Thus the personality of the writer could not be determined from the speci man of penmanship The county sup erintendent Miss Claudia B Hatcher appointed Misses Adela Merle Laura Glandon and Sallie C Hawkins to act as judgps These ladies are teachers of Red Willow county The winning papers have been mount ed and placed on exhibition in the bdow window of C L DeGroff Co where they can now be seen The work of the scholars is of a very high order and such that all patrons of the public schools may be proud of it Following are the awards of the judges 12th grade Margueritte McAdams first Francis Hughes second 11th grade
