nuin who made the college , the Ideals
and Inspiration of the school on the

the college holds In the Nebraska edu

facts suggested to almost every speak
er who looked over the splendid gath
ering at the banquet table.
Frank Perdue , county superinten
dent of .Madison county , was the llrst
man to be Introduced. Ho spoke on
"The Normal Teacher , " and spoke of
tenchers normal and abnormal. The
knack of adaptability , knowledge ,
training If possible normal training
and experience he declared to be the
four essentials for a good teacher.
"Tho Heason Wliy" gave Miss Jen
nie Vennerborg , a graduate of Wayne
and principal at Carroll , an opportu
nity for a bit of philosophical discourse
that was heartily applauded.
"Smiles" was declared by Frank Pll-
ger , head of the Pierce county schools ,
to bo hardly a fair toast to glvo the
busy treasurer of a big association.
.Mr. Pllger , however , called up a num
ber of smiles In a pleasing little talk.
Miss Ardella Von Conett , instructor
of normal training at Central City ,
spoke on "Tho New Hoys and Girls. "
Her toast was carefully worded and
contained sentiments which struck to
the hearts of the Wayne people pres
ent.
"Sunshine" was of course the toast
assigned to A. V. Teed of Ponca , pres
ident of the north Nebraska associa
tion. "Let the Blessed Sunshine In1
Mr. Teed said best represented his
sentiments and he proceeded to bring
as much llgnratlve sunshine as pos
sible into the banquet room. "Sun
shine , both literal and figurative , is
the most blessed thing hi the world , "
ho said. "One kind Is as essential as
the other. Together they make the
world worth living In. "
"Home" was the Inspiration of an
eloquent little talk by Miss Bessie
Eaton of Stuart. She told how Wayne
college had become the figurative
home of hundreds of former students.
Harvey Mason , the Meadow Grove
banker , the first student upon whom
Wnyno college conferred a degree ,
spoke on "Tho Old Hoys and Girls , "
calling up many memories of the early
days In the college. He spoke of the
loyalty of the "normalltes" and told
how In the early days the spirit of
sunshine had made Wayne college a
home.
President Pile was given a friendly
ovation when his turn came to speak.
"I am proud of this gathering and I
am proud of the men nnd women here
who are representative of the college
and Its alumni , " ho said in closing.
"It is in these later years and on oc
casions such as these that we draw
pleasure from the results of the hard
labor of former years. I am proud of
every young man and woman who Is
doing honest faithful work. It is given
to most of you to make men and wo
men out of boys and girls. You know
that you arc always welcome to the
y-fr hill at Wayne. "
President Pile then introduced State

member of the college's first graduat
ing class , Mrs. J. M. Pile and Dr. D.

Earl Fairbanks , the Norfolk navy-
man , IB limping around town with his
ankle In a cast , the result of breaking
an ankle bone a year ago last January.
He has discovered that the bone wa
broken. It was down in the Atlantic
ocean , near South America , that the
accident occurred. Fairbanks was
standing on the edge of a steamer
while the big vessel was coaling at
s = ea. Suddenly a crane broke and
jolted the boat , Fairbanks dropping
seventy-five feet to the pit of the coal
barge below. Ho broke his nose , in
jured his hand and received other
bruises. But he did not know that
the ankle had a broken bono within
it. He came home and felt a pain in
the foot. Rheumatism , he thought.
But the other day ho went into a hos
pital In Omaha and an X-ray machine
developed the fact that the bone had
been broken nnd badly knitted. It was
rebroken and properly set , and now
rests in a cast. Young Fairbanks is
a son of Conductor Fairbanks , one of
the prominent Northwestern trainmen
living In Norfolk.
NYE-SCHNEIDER GRAIN ELEVATOR
TOTAL LOSS.
WAS NO WATER IN STANDPIPE
A Disastrous Fire" Started Mysteriously
In the Elevator at Lindsay and For
a Time the Entire Town Was
Threatened.
Lindsay , Neb. , April G. Special to
The News : The Nye-Schneldergrain
elevator at this place burned to the
ground at midnight nnd Is a total loss ,
everything burning except the office.
Among the parts destroyed were corn
cribs , lumber yards , coal bins. There
were about twelve carloads of coal on
hand , one carload of oats , one carload
of corn. The total loss was estimated
at about ? 50,000.
The lire started In the engine room ,
but just how is a mystery. The gaso
line engine had only been run a little
while early in the morning.
Standplpe Was Empty.
The newly organized lire depart
ment had not a fair show for when
the fire started about midnight the
standpipe was completely empty and
water could not bo secured for some
time.
The whole town , especially the resi
dence district , was for n time almost
ilespalred of , for a veritable shower of
sparks rained on the roofs of build-
Ings.
If the wind had been blowing a lit
tle stronger , there would have been
no chance to save the town. As it
was , lire slanted in various places , but
watchful eyes kept down the llamcs.
No lives were lost In the lire.

FIVE HUNDRED MARK PASSED
FRIDAY.
ATTENDANCE STILL CLIMBING
Greatest Registration In the Life of the
North Nebraska Teachers' Associa
tion Officers Are Jubilant Over the
Success of Meeting-
More teachers are In Norfolk than
ever attended n north state teachers'
convention In the twenty-three years
comprising the life of the North Ne
braska Teachers 'association. The
" 500 mark , " for some years the goal
of the association olllcers , was passed
Friday.
Was the membership roll padded ?
Perish the thought ! Five hundred
honn llde teachers had registered by
Friday afternoon. The attendance
will pass slightly beyond the 500
mark.
Thr > gavel which Is being used by
President Teed In presiding over the
convention , n handsome specimen of
wood carving , was presented to Mr.
Teed by the boys of the manual trainIng -
Ing class of the Columbus high school.
A. E , Wlnshlp of Boston , editor of
the New England Journal of Educa
tion nnd a man with a national repu
tation among teachers , spent Friday
in Norfolk. Ho came to address the
convention Friday evening on "Tho
Making of Manly Boys. "
State Superintendent McBrien nr
rived in Norfolk Tlmrsday evening in
time t attend the Wayne banquet
His plans nt lirst contemplated a Sat
urday visit to Norfolk but he changed
his arrangements sudden-ly , taking in
the Friday morning session instead.
The game of politics is not played
very hard In the north state teachers'
meetings. Maybe that's the reason
the north state men ha\o not fared
better in the state at large in the last
few years. But the men who are deal
Ing in state school politics are watch
ing north Nebraska now and have been
in close touch with the present con
vention.
E. O. Garrett of Fremont Is a figure
missing from this year's teachers' con
vention. Business it Is said has called
him to the eastern part of the state.
But they are telling a new story on
Garrett , which runs , hack to the time
when he started to tench a country
school out near Broken Bow. Tommy
was a bad boy Indeed and ( he wrath
of Garrett fell on his head. "Young
man , " demnnded Garrett , "don't you
know that you're not fit to sit with
decent people. Come right up here on
the platform and sit by me. "
The girls' chorus consisting of four
teen young ladles from the Norfolk
high school made one of the decided
"hits" on convention week. The se
lection given by the young ladies at
the declamatory contest brought them
into immediate popularity with the
big audience of north state teachers.
Those who were in the chorus that
evening were Misses Linda Winter ,
Marion Stltt , Agnes Matrau , Letha
Blakemau , Bessie Richey , Ruth Mount ,
Emma Brueggeman , Hattie Adams ,
Ruth Beebe , Lydla Brueggeman , Inez
VIele , Floy Faucett , Hertha Hauptll
nnd Verna Coryell.
School teachers in Norfolk are be
ginning to discuss the association offi
cers to be elected Saturday morning ,
although as usual there is no special
contest on. Vice President R. M.
Campbell of West Point seems to
stand in line for advancement to the
presidency of the association and
sentiment among the teachers appears
to support him. Mr. Campbell is a
city superintendent. Both President
Teed and his predecessor , Mr. Perdue ,
were county superintendents.
"The instruction In music in your
city schools , judging from what I have
s en , Is of a surprising high grade , "
was the comment of Deputy State
Superintendent E. C. Bishop nftertwo
grades of Norfolk pupils had gone
through their singing drills. "Enough
was shown of the work , especially
along the kindergarten line , to show
that the instruction her © is very su
perior. I did not know that work of
that order was being done in Norfolk. "
The department meetings in the new
high school building have been very
profitable. The papers read have been
of n higher order than usual and the
discussion is said to have been both
interesting and profitable In most
cases. The high school section was
presided over by J. H. Welch of the
Stanton schools , the grade section by
Superintendent E. P. Wilson , the pri
mary section by Miss Emma Miller ,
county superintendent of Cuming
county , the rural and county superin
tendents' sections by F. S. Perdue ,
county superintendent of Madison
county.
Four prominent Nebraska school
men , President J. M. Pile of Wayne
college , Superintendent U. S. Conn of
the Columbus schools , President A. O.
Thomas of the Kearney normal and
State Superintendent J. L. McBrlon
of Lincoln addressed the teachers'
convention Friday morning. The
morning session was opened by a
piano duet well rendered by Misses
Ruth Halversteln and Korrino Saunders -
ders of Norfolk.
President Pile gave an eloquent ad
dress , speaking of several phases of
education nnd life. He emphasized
the more practical work of manual
training. He spoke of the place that
the schools bad Ut the condition of
the country and placed unusual value
on the power of mind control. Ho told
the teachers that praise was as neces
sary for mental development as food
IH necessary for bodily growth.
"Problems and Progress In Our
School System" was the subject of an
Interesting talk by Superintendent
Conn of Columbus. "Many dlfllcult
problems are not problems nt all , "
urged Mr. Conn.
"Teachers like merchants should
take an Invoice to see what they nro
doing , how their plans are being car
ried out.
"We have reached the place where
there KCIMIIS no limit to what may bo
done. But the advancement to be
made In the next generation depends
largely on the work of the teacher of
today.
"The fads of a few years ago are
necessities. Agriculture , which would
have been hooted at a few years ago ,
Is taught. The farmers have the
'conveniences. ' He has become a
business man.
"Mental , mimual nnd moral training
should bo taught. They are as neces
sary as the three R's.
"The average amount of education
that most of the boys and girls re
ceive Is not more than five years. "
President A. O. Thomas of Kear
ney , head of the Kearney normal read
a very high grade paper on "Vices
and Virtues of Our People. " Ho dealt
In an Instructive vein on the relation
between education and Immigration.
Something new in Nebraska educa
tional circles was brought before the
convention by the state superinten
dent , J. L. McBrien. Ho outlined nn
extensive educational excursion to
take the place of summer norma'
training work for the teachers who
cnred to take the trip. The trip as
outlined contemplated having two or
three hundred teachers spend three
or four weeks visiting points of etlu
catlonal Interest in the east. The
party will be organized and planned
so as to do effective work.

cured by pure vegetable oil of wlnler-
green. This oil alone could not cure ,

with glycerine , etc. , In D. D. D. pre
scription.
"I feel It my duty to say what a
wonderful cure D. D. D. hns been for
me , " writes Mrs. Wheeler. "I was
cured a year ngo last fall , but did not
dare write because I was not sure the
cure would he permanent. I had doc
tored with six doctors and they nil
said It was seldom , If ever , a case like
mine was cured. I think I used only four
bottles of D. D. D. nnd I nm perma
nently cured. If I ever needed D. D.
D. again , I would bo willing to pay
J5.00 a botlle. "
