A concert was given at the Hall
book store Friday evening by the Nor
folk Zobo Quartette. This is n newly
formed club of leading young men of
Norfolk and as the instruments have
just arrived it is expected public con-
certs will not be given for at least n
week. All members of the club are
experts with zobos, and as these are
new instruments in Norfolk, will prove
curiosity to those who listen to the
concerts. Lorin Brueggeman, Walter
Howe, Frank Johnson and Herman
Schelley are the members of this club.
Among the Norfolk teachers who
will teach in Pierce county during the

Flynn will teach the Stark Valley
school; Miss Erna Wilde will teach
the Raubach school. Practically all
the schools in Pierce county begin
September 6. A few will begin next
Monday. Although a number of
schools have no teachers, Superinten-
dent Pilger believes he soon will have
enough.
