JUDICIAL DISTRICTS GET BIG

TIONAlENT.
Dickinson Is In District with OF
tawa, Saline, Lincoln and Ellis
worth---Means New Dis
trict Judge.

One Of the ideas of the state leg
islature for cutting down taxes has
been the elimination Of 4 number of
the judicial districts o. ms state
and the committee which has had
the reapportionment of the districts
In its hands has made its report
recommending that eight Of the dis
tricts be eliminated. In the shuttle
many Of the former districts have
been torn apart and the district
made up OF Dickinson, Geary' Nor
ris and Marion has been one OF the
worst to suffer. Each Of these
counties finds itself in a new dis
ltrict under the new regime and the
probabilities are favorable for the
passage Of law.
The district in which Dickinson
lwill find itself will consist OF DICK
linson, Ottawa, Saline, Lincoln anc
Ellsworth counties. 1t will NEAR
much more work for the distri"'
Judge than he has had for q mum
Der of years. District judges arr
paid a salary Of $4,000 per yea
and the change Of districts vii
mean saving to the state Of s24'
900 per year.
The other counties which hav
been associated with Dickinson \
the Eighth Judicial district FIN
, themselves under the new arrange
. ment with the following counties

ABOUT SCHOOLS OF COUNTY.

The pupils Of the normal training

Chapman graded schools during the
past month on account of the illness

The high schools are all planning
for the county track and field meet

cants for teachers certificates at the
January examination: Stella Reager.
Roy snider, Elma Noble, Julia Eyth,
Mary Meyer, Ida Sheets, Grace

One OF the schools that has con-
ceived the right idea about the
school library is the consolidated
school at Talmage. A valuable addi-
ltion has been made this year con-
sisting Of about 800 volumes Of
well selected books suitable to every

Was Riding Wrong Grizzly.

Jim Brent, ex.sheriff OF Lincoln
county. New Mexico, told this story
to Emerson Hough:
Back yonder In the free silver days
Brent had a friend who had raised a
grizzly from cub and had trained
the big brute to saddle. He used to
ride the bear on prospecting trips.
One day the prospector was riding
up an arroyo when he ran plump into
band OF six full-grown and untamed
silver,tlp bears-enormous fellows
and they all showed fight.
The prospector dIsmounted from his
tame bear, unslung his trusty rife.
and after terrific battle six bears,
one after another, bit the dust. Then
he mounted his own bear and proceed.
ed on his way, but he hadn't ridden
more than a mile when he noticed a
peculiarly In the stride.
"Sure's you're here, Hough." said
Brent, "he had killed his own grizzly
and was riding one OF the Wild ones
home'"

BILE stops similar to window frame.
The screen frame is made very much
like window sash and Is fitted in the
same way between the stops, but there
Is only one pair OF stops and no jamb.
Some OF those outdoor rooms have
glazed sash to take the place of the
screens when the cold weather comes
in the fall. One man has a hot water
radiator in his loggia so he can use
1t all winter and he keeps house plants
there. He has a good cellar wall un.
der 1t so there is no danger OF freezing.
Writing about fly screens reminds
me that there are different kinds and
prices. 1t is well to remember this
when ordering and also remember that
II pays to get the best. 1t is no more
work or expense to make and ht
screens having fine enough mesh to
keep the insects where you want
them. Then you can divide the house
and give them the outside.
In building the little bungalow here
illustrated good deal can be made OF
the bungalow porch by screening It of
in the manner described. A grea,
many OF these four, room bungalows
are being built as suburban residences
and also as summer cottages. People
are paying more attention to the quail.
ity OF such buildings because they are
used for n longer time. Years ago 1t
was customary to put up shack In
the wilderness and live In 1t for three
or four weeks In the middle OF sum
mer. But now instead people build
small, compact little houses within
easy reach OF railway station. The
families occupy them for six or eight
months and the man OF business goes
to the city in the morning and back at
night II the house Is built right as
it should be the family dread to leave
1t when winter comes and some OF
them live the year round at places not
especially accessible when the SNOW Is
on the ground.
The size Of this little house Is 25h
feet In width by IS feet In length. The
shape OF the roof is such that two or
three bedrooms could be finished of
