miles through the sand hills country
and bagged chickens and ducks up to

| however were native, the northern

cling out of Norfolk for Swift & Co.,

sistant manager of the sales depart
ment In the Swift Office in Omaha.

The inconvenience attached to
handling the high school work in the
temporary quarters in the Olney build
ing is not interfering with the stan
dard of the work that is being done.
Superintendent Bodwell IS naturally
elated over what seems to be pros
poets for very successful school year
in spite of the difficulties that con.
fronted the school authorities at the
beginning of the year. Never in the
history of the local high school, it is
said, has a more efficient corps of in
structOrs been at work than now have
charge of the different classes. To
the strength of the faculty the promis
ing conditions in the high school are
largely assigned.
The Jamestown exposition, accord
ing to A. j. Durland who arrived home
. Saturday evening from an eastern trip
has received a great deal of unjust
I criticism. The show at Norfolk, Va.
Mr.. Durland says is not the James
town imposition that has figured
largely in hostile press reports. The
exposition on the other hand really
merits visit. Nowhere has Mr.. Dur
|, land seen a more magnificent water
{ view than that afforded at Norfolk
Va. The great fault with the eXposi
ton, he says, has been a certain south
} ern lack of energy that permitted nu
merous delays and brought disappoint
} ment to all the early visitors to thu
: exposition grounds. Mr.. Durland wa
in New York on business. Returning
: home he was joined at Omaha by Mrs
/ Durland.
