I : : The corn sent to the agriculture
class by Mr. Brosius to be , .tested
was very good.
The 8th grade is preparing a
program to entertain the 7th
grade some time in May.
Everett Northrup , formerly a
.student here but now living I in
Chadron , visited the 7th grade
classes Monday.
s i . . The freshmen boys prepared .
breakfast for the rest of the class
at the park ' Wednesday morning
a 5 o'clock. Nine were brave
enough to venture out.
. The gardens have v all been
plotted and a number are all plant-
ed. We sincerely hope the frost
will not hurt them after so much
hard labor has been spent on
them.
The only open program given
f _ this year ! in which every room
- takes part will be given Saturday
: , : . evening , May 14 , at 8 o'clock , in
Church's ball. Seats reserved the

It will be a treat to hear the

chestra ! . , glee club , quartette , trio
piano , solo , duet , violin solo , and
I others.
The field day was interesting
I and pleasant , marred only by a 40
mile breeze that made it somewhat
disagreeable to be out doors. The .
I thirty prizes were donated , thanks ,
to the generosity of the Valentine 1
business men and were secured by !
winners in the thirty events"bf the 1
afternoon. It is believed that an
;
i i annual field day is a benefit in
i I I developing in young America
physical ability and the will to
use it , besides diverting , the mind
from ways not beneficial and hel p-
ful. A sound mind in a sound
body is a good maxim. The glory
Greece and Rome in ancient days
had for its basis well developed ,
I
body. Education , to be of any
value , should be three-fold. Not
intellectual alone , but the physical
and moral development as well ,
;
must not be neglected. The fol

A. E. Spall , our merchant-post- I I
master , is taking the census. He
has four precincts and will be
very busy during - the allotted
time. Mrs. Spall attends to the
store and office during his absence.
W. E. Miller recently purchased
I the Spall-Smith ranch and will en- ,
gage "in the stock business. He I
comes from eastern Nebraska.
Gray , his son , will live on the
ranch. In connection with his
ranch duties he is prepared to do
all kinds of telephone work.
, C. S. Latta is disking in oats.
The hay flats may become a small
grain producing region yet. Var-
ous persons are taking up the
proposition of raising their grain
and thus avoiding extra expense
and freighting. C. S. is one of
our most up-to-date dairymen , a
neighbor who stands for higher
and better things in life. Such
citizens are a credit to any com-
munity. ,
George Bucy recently purchased
an imported Percheron stallion.
He is giving considerable atten-
tion to raising good horses. While
the purchasing - of this kind of
stock often v works * : a hard
ship on those who do so , it is the
only method of raising the stand-
are of our domestic animals. We .
believe that men who make the :
necessary outlay to improve the ,
herds in this locality is a benefact-
or of mankind.
J. H. Baker is hauling stone for
the erection of a concrete house.
High prices for all kinds of stock
is making it possible for our stock-
men to provide more comfortable
and desirable homes. We rejoice
to see the crude buildings of early
days replaced by modern ones ,
and see no reason for complaint at
high prices of agricultural' pro-
ducts. Our day has come. Those
who toil in storm and heat are en-
titled to better things than were
possible in the 90's when the in-
come from farm or ranch would
barely meet running expenses.

cold , rain snow and' frost. The
snow melted as it fell , excepting
where it lodged in sheltered
places.
Frank Swearingen was in town

The V. H. S. alumni will hold

Saturday May 14. at S p. m. , at
Geo. H. Hornby's residence. On
account of those who are obliged

first part of the evening will be

arriving later can have a voice in
the business. Members are urged
to be present.

A Special Offer.
The big daily papers find it nec-
: essary and profitable to. keep in-
casasing their subscription list ,
and one of the fastest growers is
the Lincoln State Journal. This
splendid state daily has just open-
ed up another big subscription
campaign , offering the paper to
Jan. 1 , 1911 , for only $2 ; with
Sunday § 2.50. This special rate
will bring the business. The
Journal has a way of its 'own-
cutting out a lot of expensive
methods of getting subs cribers
and making the low rate to its
readers direct. The people of the
state as never before are looking
to the Journal for the real doings
in the state. It is building up its I
business through reliability and
enterprise , especially in covering
the state news. Another good
thing about The Journal is its
policy of stopping every paper
when the time is up. If you don't
pay for it don't get it , and when
you ; do pay for it you ; are only
paying for your own paper , not
helping to pay for the one sent
some deadbeat. You will like the
cleancut methods of The Journal
people.
