"In October following , a gentleman
from Sioux City came to see me ,
bringing a proposal lo go to Sioux-
City and undertake the publication of
the Sioux City Journal. The outfit
was ow ned by a stock company. Four

out and then the publication had been
suspended. I looked over the situa

went to woik. At Hie end of two years
I bought out the stockholder and be
came owner , continuing to publish
that paper until I sold out to George
D Poikins.
His Claim Is Jumped.

known as the Nebraska-Iowa Rose
bud Homesteaders' association. These
members are arranging to make the
trip to the new country together.
From a view of a homesteader's car
passing through Norfolk today , It be
came known that the homesteaders

10 lioisos. The majority of the cms.

Seniors Wear Colored Hose.
Not satisfied with their futile at
tempts at keeping their class colois
on the top of the high school build
ing , membois of the senioi and jun
ior classes tiio making othei extiaor-
dinaiyittempts to keep their colors
before the fes of the faculty. The
latest scheme by the juniois was to
paint the cement sidewalks leading to
the high school building in glaiing
orange mil black colois. As was the
case in their attempts at hanging
their ( oiois to a tempoiaiy flag pole.
the facultv loiind ways and means by
which the juniors could pin chase tur-
I cntine and wash the colors from the
walks. Not satisfied with this second
defeat , some of the students dabbed
their faces and clothing with the
orange and black colois in defiance
of the turpentine rule.
Follow ing the juniors' attempts , the
- seniors sent a "feeler" into the school
room ) esteiJay in the foi in of ono of
the piett ) senior girls , who shocked
the faculty with her becoming gown of
pink and green This was the senior
class color.
Then the teachers were thiown into
a npar-panic when every member of
the senior class appeared at the after
noon session of school garbed in pink
and green. There were pink neckties
and green handkerchiefs. Some wore
a pink stocking on one foot and a
green one on the other. Everything
was pink and green and the class
was sent out on a forty-five minute
recess to change stockings. They
clubbed together and many came
back with freshly purchased hose of
the old-fashioned gray cotton material.
Tims the class color fight goes on
