They PLAYED Hockey"

Monday, April %, was de-
creed by Governor Sheldon as
Arbor Day and every citizen of
this great commonwealth-know
and described on the map of the
United States as Nebraska-were
cited to take enough time from
their daily avocations to plant a
tree. If they couldn't plant
tree, plant something-anything
but weeds.
Monday was very much fine
day-in the afternoon-calcu-
lated to inspire a spring-fever
feeling, especially among stu
dents, who just couldn't get their
minds off the fact that the
governor had decreed it holt
day, while the authorizes of the
Broken Bow City schools gave
the Sheldon proclamation jolt
by announcing there would be
no cessation of school work in
order to introduce shrubbery to
Broken Bow soil by the pupils of
the city schools.
The conflicting proclamations
by the governor and school board
were hastily discussed by MEM
bers of the Senior and Junior
classes and the decision reached
that they would stand on neutral
ground and pay respect to each of
the edicts. This was agreed to
by all of the. thirty members,
except five. Monday forenoon
they performed school work as
usual, but when time came for
afternoon business only five MEM
bers of the Senior and Junior
classes were in their accustomed
places, and none of the others
appearing, greatly to the chagrin
of the instructor, the 1923" sign
was hung up for the faithful five
and they promptly ''skiddoed."
The whole bunch went out to
the fair grounds to hunt for
ostrich feathers and wild flowers
and spent the other half of the
holiday very pleasantly. Five
O. the young ladies continued to
walk as far as Berwyn, 9 miles,
and returned home on the evening
train, not only a trifle weary,
but with highly sun-painted
cheeks.

Railroad Meeting at Westerville.

The meeting held at Wester-
vile last Saturday afternoon to
consider the matter of building
fron Broken Bow to Loup City
and there connect with the Union
Pacific, was attended by large
number of citizens and farmers
who feel the necessity of a rail-
road closer to their farms in
order to market stock and pro-
duce at less cost and thereby be
enabled to save more for their
hard labor than under the present
conditions of having to make
long hauls by team, and the plan
to secure the building of this As
mile of track is easy and meets
with the favor of most all resi-
dents along the proposed route.
The meeting was organized by
the election of Mr.. Mills as chair
man and Mr.. Scott, secretary.
James Stockham, vice-president
of the comsany, stated the object
of the meeting, outlining the
proposed route and the PROPOSE
tion by Which, it is to be built.
Farmers within seven miles on
each side of the route are asked
to purchase stock to the amount
of one dollar an acre on all land
owned by them, by which means
$1,000 per mile will be raised.
When this is accomplished. east
ern capitalists will furnish funds
enough to complete and equip
the road with rolling stock etc.
There is absolutely no question
but that the road will be built,
yet the line may deviate from the
one now being considered, the
cause for deviation being the
inability of the farmers to come
to the front. Another line,
along which the farmers are
wideawake and ready to make
good, but not considered as feast.
BILE, will be taken up, if the one
now proposed, is not welcomed
by those who reside within its
limits and would reap the bene.
fits of it
Tomorrow afternoon a meeting
will be held at the knight schoo
house in Myrtle township a.
which Vice-Pres., Stockham anC
Engineer VanAntwerp will BIZ
present.
On Saturday afternoon a meet
ing will be held at the Downey
school house, Georgetown, a
which President Groat anc
Manager Candy will be present
Farmers in the localities where
these meetings are held should
not fail to be preseut-if they
want a railroad.

The State Junior Normal Assured.

On Wednesday of this weel
County Superintendent Pinckney
received a letter from State
Supt. McBrieu, calling him to Q
Junior Normal conference at Lin
coin, on Saturday, the 9th. He
announces that he has selected a
corps OF seven instructors for the
Junior Normal, but as some OF
them have not yet signified their
acceptance, their names are not
announced at this time, except
that the position Of Principal OF
the Junior Normal will be filled
by Dean Charles Fordyce, who
has been at this place in Institute
work several times.
The term will begin June 18th,
and will continue seven weeks,
including the one week of Insti-
tute.
Custer county is to be con-
graduated upon securing this
school, as it will afford fine adj
vantages for the teachers to inn
prove themselves in matter and
methods of teaching, and will
besides give a great opportunity
for large number of our people
who are not teachers.
1t is intended to have series
of high-class lectures aud other
entertainments in connection
with the Junior Normal, to
which all students enrolled at the
Normal will be admitted without
further charge.
Altogether, it will be a great
benefit to Broken Bow, an to
the county at large, and has been
secured by the energetic efforts
of those who have been actively
interested in the project, aided
by the hearty cooperation of the
county board and of the board of
education of Broken Bow.

AN ELECTED BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

There is one measure which should be passed before the adjournment of the legislature and that is one pro viding for a new makeup of the ter ritorial board of equalization. The present organization places the en- tire taxation power in the territory into the hands of the governor. who may dictate absolutely what shall be paid as revenue by the various classes of property. The territorial board of equalization should not be amenable for its acts z-one to the governor, as it is now, but should be composed of men elected by the people.
 This paper has several times in the past suggested that it would be wise to have the territorial board of equalization composed of the several chairmen of the boards of supervisors in the counties of the territory. Such board would be composed of thir- teen members and each one would be ! informed especially as to the condi- ton and property valuations in his county, and as a whole the board would be composed of men who would be responsible directly to the people of the territory and not alone to tho governor. as is the case with the mem bers of the board as now composed i This kind of board would be plac

 From a source close to the presi- dent it is learned that when 1t was first proposed to build the isthmian canal by contract Chief Engineer Stevens was favorable to the sugges- ton. He saw that 1t possessed many advantages. He expressed himself in this connection both to the president and to the secretary of war. Later, l when the advertising was done for the l contract and there was much press | discussion of the real canal build CTS" which the contract system was | to develop, Mir Stevens had a change of mind and heart. He did not, how
 ever, indicate this change officially
 to the authorities here.
 Later when the bids for the con tract were awarded, he saw that Vii liam J. Oliver had an excellent pros pect of securing the canal contract He addressed lengthy letter to th' | president, in the course of which h.
 said that he would never be able t get along with Oliver If the contrac

The Nsw York Tribune says; We aoabt very much whether the Gsliie BaF oT the Russian campaign was con dHeted with one-half the thoroughness that marks the operations which MT. Rockefeller carries on through the | general education board. Many per sons may feel that the strategies of the board, some of which will pre- sumably force weak and ill placed schools to the wall, are cruel, but no wise educator will share that feeling. The country is oYerrun with petty inefficient colleges granting worthless degrees and deluding the students in- to thinking themselves cultured. There is frightful waste of money and effort due to lack of intelligent coop eration among institutions. Before very long even the bereaved friends of the exterminated colleges will re- joice that a great industrial captain was willing to spend fortune in bringing order out of chaos"
 The following appeared as an edi- torial in the Houston, Texas, Post: .The Manufacturers Record of last week contains an astounding article on the work of the general education board to which Mir. Rockefeller re gently gave s32,000.000. It is in sub stance that it is the intention of the education board, representing the trust magnates from whom it draws the sinews of war, so to speak, to SC manipulate the hundreds of millions which it expects ultimately to handle tbat colleges which are not approved by the board shall be forced to closs their doors.
