under the free high school attendance
law. The certificates are good only
for the rest OF the year. Under the

The river at Omaha has risen about
ten inches since yesterday and is still

taken as an indication that the limit
has not been reached. and the large
number of cornstalks in the water
would seem to indicate that chunks of
farm lands are falling into the stream.
