c. Walker who are about to leave the
city, to take supper with them. Just
before o'clock number of Heights
friends arrived on the scene and gave
both couples very pleasant surprise.
The visitors said they came to stay
to supper and then forthwith proceed

Capacious baskets provided a suffici-
ent feast for regiment. 1t was an
old-fashioned Heights evening.
Durno and his company in magic,
music, illusions, limitations and ven
triloQuism, the most popular number
of the high school lecture course,
comes to the Auditorium Saturday
night of this week. In addition to a
fascinating exhibition of the arts of
the magician, it is said that Saturday
nights program will be highly favored
with comedy. Norfolk is being thor
oughly canvassed by ticket sellers for
this lecture course number, the com.
mittee having picked Durno as the
man to revive the finances of the lee
ture course which carries heavy ex-
penses.
II am not in favor of changing ex-
change day from Tuesday to Satur-
day" said a Norfolk merchant. "Sat-
urdays are always days of traffic con-
gestion in town, anyway. On Satur-
days the farmers have a full day of
shopping and trading and visiting
without adding the exchange day fea-
ture. Exchange day is important
enough all by itself to occupy a full
day. To merge it with Saturday
would kill the event altogether. To
make it succeed it should be a day set
apart as it has been, at time during
the week when nothing else will con-
fiict. And the regular Saturday con-
gestion would conflict. Exchange day
comes but once month and l believe
that the farmers, whose day it is, will
take more interest in it if it comes on
Tuesday once month"
'If a Y. NJ. C. A. building is to be
secured for Norfolk, two-thirds of the
money needed must be subscribed by
business men of the CITY," said a Nor
folk man interested in the Y. M. c..
A. movement. 81 consider it an i'm
portant moment in Norfolk's life. If
we fail, we will suffer in the opinion
of other cities of the state. Norfolk
is a city of homes. The great reason
why many people live here rather
than in smaller places, is because this
is pleananter place to live. To Sc

pleasant euvironment-they would
make the life in Norfolk more attract
i've than ever. A gymnasium to which
business men and young men could
go an hour a day to engage in a
game of some sort and then take a
stimulating plunge in the bath, would
be an ideal spot for recreation. That
feature alone would make Y. NJ. c.
A. worth all it would cost Norfolk"
Three men prominently connected
with the national guard spent Wednes-
day morning in Norfolk. The officers
were General G. F. Schwarz, adjutant
general of the Nebraska national
guard, Major L. J. Dawson, a retired
army officer assigned to special work
in connection with the Nebraska
guard, and Major G. A. Eberly of STAN
ton, national guard officer. The Of
ficers arrived in Norfolk Tuesday
night from Madison, where they in
spected the Madison militia company.
The Madison men presented a good
appearance under rigid inspection
