Carr of Simeon were in town Tuesday getting supplies to begin hayin'g. They say that it is the wettest they have seen it in the hay flats , but think that what they lose in the valleys this year , will be more than made up in the hills , where there seems to be plenty of grass.

If you have not seen the school garden , walk out that way the first spare moment you have. It is a beauty. The lettuce and radishes are ready to eat and the flowers are just beginning to bloom. Supt. Stockdale , who has the class in agriculture , is furnishing substantial evidence that agricul ture in schools may be made inter esting and profitable. Under his directions the class is furnishing crisp , toothsome radishes and let tuce for the dining hall and some favored friends. The normal chorus is now re hearsing for the concert. The evening meetings are to be on Wednesdays at the M. E. church and all singers in Valentine are cordially < invited to join the chorus. At the last meeting several friends came in and helped and others have promised their assistance. Students and the instructors of the junior normal are looking for ward with pleasure to the great picnic ; to be held July 22. It . seems that many more citizens of Valentine will join with us in the picnic this year than ever before , has been thought best to go to he beautiful Perry falls , six miles iast of Ft. Niobrara where we had such a delightful time last year. Charles Aminon , who has been attendance at the Valentine lormal each of the three summers since its opening , has beencom pelled < , on account of poor health , return home. He has been a peat help in many ways to those ittending the normal and will be greatly missed. Mrs. Ammon and iwo younger children were here luring the last week of Mr. Am- non's stay. We believe Mr. Am- non has been influential in bring ing more students to normal than my other one student. I WARM WEATHER WEAR ! I < ? ' Ladies' Lingerie , Reduced Right.
