Still the plants and flowers are being watched and analyzed by the botany class. ! Many new speci- mens are found. ' A recitation 'The Inventor's wife" by Mae Wade was well ren- dered and well received during chapel hour last week. Effie Carlson writes that she is enjoying Bradford , Pennslylvania for a short time then will go on to New York and Boston. \ There are now ninety-six en- rolled in the normal. Pearl Mc- Bride and Joanna Rose , both of Rushville , being the latest. . Mr. Young , the Y. M. C. A. field worker attended chapel ; Mon- : day and gave a very appropriate talk along the lines of true man- hood and womanhood. Not only the entire normal en- joyed the Parland-Newhall enter- tainment , but a goodly number of town people who .appreciate first class work were present. Frances Grewe sends greetings and a beautiful panoramic view of Denver to the normalites. She- with her sister Dora , are attend- ing the National Educational as- sociation in Denver on their way to the Seattle exposition. Edith Adamson gave a very helpful Chapel talk on the soils and various regions of Nebraska , indicating the crops most success- ful on each soil. She illustrated her : remarks by a Leat map of the state , showing the different geolo- gic formations. Everybody reads normal notes so we take the opportunity of catching : the eye of some school officers. Annual reports are all due and must be filed with the county superintendent soon or the district may lose the state appor- tionment of school money. The- chapel talks , recitations , t etc. , by pupils and instructors of the normal are proving interesting to the listeners and helpful I to the speakers at least. It is one of the practical ways of getting command of good English. Supt. Gregory's description of a trip to Wonderful Crater Lake was both interesting and instructive. " Teachers who have visited the weather service department have been greatly interested in the ap- pliances and apparatus seen there , Mr. McLean kindly gives full and clear explanation concerning the workings of the intricate mechan- ism. All the teachers will have an opportunity of visiting there in charge of one of the normal in- structors. ' The generous invitations of the McLeod brothers , managers of the Northwestern Real Estate Co. , C. H' Cornell and T. C. Hornby extended to the normalites to take an . auto ride to Ft. Niobrara , was accepted and enjoyed last Satur- day afternoon. Six finely deco- rated cars "were in line at three o'clock and soon filled with de- lighted n.prmalites . . , to most of whom an : aut ride . was a . new ex- t perience. It was necessary to make two trips in order to trans- port the crowd. Judge Walcott , I as chaperone , took charge of the V _ \ - _ e e 3 [ Mid-Summer Clearing - Sale . \ , , : A . . . . . . .

Supt. Gregory remained to gather up the last load and the cars were soon out of sight again with Val- entine far in the west. . All spent some time straying about in the canyon below the falls and on the river. The merry picnickers at last ! gathered in the shade and af ter singing some impromptu songs partook of sandwiches and lemon- ade until the approaching storm warned the party to hasten home or seek shelter. . Soon the six cars - we.-e loaded and speeding back home while those left for the sec ond trip were enjoying themselves under shelter. Judge Walcott says some one in the' first loads back was wet ; but as no one has complained there is some doubt expressed. However , the Judge ought to know. Three of the cars returned for those who stayed and in due time all were safely at home. The following is one of the songs freely indulged in by the crowd. V. J. N. : AUTOMOBILE RIDE. ( Tune : Marching Thru Georgia. ) We're on an automobile ride Across the prairies far , With fifty school ma'ams in the crowd , A bevy in each car. We're jolly , happy , glad and gay , There's naught our joy to mar Gliding along o'er the prairies. CHORUS Hurrah , hurrah , hurrah for the auto car , Hurrah for ' the men who brought us out so far ; We're happy and there's nothing now our happiness can mar , Gliding along o'er the prairie. We're glad to be from duty free To wander here and there ; To sit in shade on grassy glade , To breathe the fresh pure air. So once again we say to the meg. We thank you , plain and fair For speeding us over the prairie. Tribute to the printer , from an old paper : Next to your grand- mother , the printer , is one of the best friends you have. Then you are born , he tells the glad tid ings. When you get married , he chronicles the event in the kindest words. When you succeed , he re joices with you and pats you on I i the back. When you fail or other troubles overtakes you , be doesn't II sneer at you , and start a batch of gossip about you , but shields and defends you. And , at last when you have . passed out , of this life , he marks the good deeds of your I life , sympathizes with those that mourn your loss , and places a tri bute of praize with the ' flowers I : that deck your grave.
