BANKS AND RURAL CARRIERS
HAD A HOLIDAY.

The First Monday In September, Be-
sides Being Labor Day, Brought
School Board and other Meetings.
Labor Day Attraction at Auditorium.
September, the first of the fall
months, and Labor day, as the first
Monday in September, have been
reached on the 1907 calendar. This
| 1907 Labor day had a varied mixture
of greetings from Norfolk and her peo-
pie.
To the bank clerk and the postoffice
rural carriers Labor day meant a hol-
iday.
To the politician it meant the day
before the primary" when Nebraska
voters are going to have their first look
at their new double election system
and do some candidate picking for No
vember.
TO the Norfolk school lad it meant
one day Of grace interposed between
the joyous vacation and the first dread
ring of the call to school.
Norfolk did not plan a special holt
day program for Labor day. What
was booked for the day was an even
ing at the Auditorium, city council
meeting, the monthly meeting Of the
school board and the opening night Of
series of "protracted meetings" at
one of the churches.
To one man at least, the superinten-
dent of the city schools, Labor day
was one of strenuous work Monday
was spent by Superintendent Bodwell
in getting ready for school, no small
task with a new teaching force and
temporary school quarters in prospect
for the classes which met in the old
high school building.
