OF Nebraska. The desks were Just
rough hewn slabs with pegs for legs.
The floor was made by laying logs in
the ground. and mailing rough boards
across them. Under this floor all
kinds Of snakes collected and in the
spring days they would crawl up
thru the holes in the floor. One
blue racer caused quite a commotion
by crawling up thru the floor about
eight inches and then lodging back
The teacher appointed boy to guard
this hole with stick. One day
while Mr.. Northup was sitting stud
lying with his bare feet dangling ov-
er the edge of the seat. he looked
down and saw large rattler craw-
ling across the floor on the beam Just
under his feet.
He then spoke of the many advan-
tages the pupils of to-day have, and
called attention to the fact that
more is rightly expected from us as
a consequence.
In concluding he said, THE work
of the school now is not Just to put
one in a better way to earn his liv-
ing, but it is to better fl one to help
his fellowmen
We enjoyed Mr.. Northup's talk
very much, and from the close atten-
tion that was paid by all, we are sure
that the things he said will not be
soon forgotten. We hope that we
may have the pleasure to hear him
again.
The school has received the follow
ing letter which is right in line with
the work that the school is already
doing In testing corn:
TT. Collins, Colo
Dear superintendent:
The seed corn situation in Colo
RADIO is doubtless more serious than
many of us realize. The reports that
have been made on termination
tests run from to 80 percent, the
average being about so, which means
that exceptional care must be taken
In the selection of corn to plant.
Many states have placed embargoes
on seed corn which means we cannot
import much. Our only salvation
in the seed corn situation then Is to
see that every ear we plant is test
ed.
The public schools OF the state can
lend hand and be of great aid to
plant. This will give the agricultur-
al classes In the schools an opportuni-
ty to do some very practical work
besides doing great service to the
farmer and nation. Word can be
gotten to the farmers thru the school
| children and the local press that
their corn will be tested at the school
laboratory free Of charge and GER
mination report sent back to the
farmer. Emphasize that the first
desire now is corn with a high ger
mination percent and quality second.
In addition to the good already men,
toned, 1t will serve as a means of
getting to the people some of the
work being done in public schools.
At no time in the history OF our
country has the need Of cooperation
been greater and anything the school
children do in helping to select the
best corn to plant in this seed corn
crisis will be doing their bit" and
will help to put our boys over the
top"

SCHOOL NOTES

oCnUU1 NUlEo
The following is poem written
by Lawrence Bommelyn;
Evening
In the meadow sang the lark,
And in the treetops chirped the ro-
bin,
In the shadows 1t was dark
And from the pond the ducks came
bobing
All the air was filled with music
or all the birds that one could
name.
And from the parlor flowed more
music,
OF little old piano Jane.
But in the sky far to the west,
And from the porch the happy nun,
But o'er the treetops and all the
rest
Did see the setting OF the sun.
The high school entertained the
eighth grade Saturday afternoon at
their literary program and in the ev-
ening at weiner roast The eighth
grade vote that the members of the
high school are royal entertainers.
We have a new freshman in high
school, Fred Burton.
The Junior Red Cross pins have
come and are proudly worn by the
members.
The Domestic Science class is put
ting into practice its knowledge OF
the serving OF meals. Each girl
will prepare and serve one meal to
the other members OF the class.
Mrs. Hewitt has three new schol-
ars, Elsie Burton in the fifth grade.
Leah Burton in the fifth grade and
Blanche Berry in the sixth grade.
Orin Biggs has stopped school In

Mr.. Beans spoke on the subject,
my Duty to My Country" He told
how our boys were giving their lives
to their country. and how the peo-
pie at home should gladly give all
they have to help and protect them.
He spoke OF how all the country
should feel towards the stars and
stripes. that stand for so much free
dom for everyone; but all of which
would be abolished II the Kaiser
could have his way.
He spoke also of the sacrifice that
must be made to win the war; and
of the great work that the school
can do In this. The pupils were in
spired with a still warmer feeling OF
patriotism as the result of Mr.. Beans
very interesting talk. and we hope
he may speak to us again.
Mr.. Northup gave an interesting
talk to the school. Fri. Is at assem-

A NEW BANK FOR RAYMER

Raymer Is to have another bank
This is hardly news, for ii has been
talked for some time and arrange
ments had gone far enough to be
sure that the institution was GER
tainty some weeks ago; but still a
few of the details are not being CIV
en- to the public.
However the bank will be called
The Farmers and Merchants Bank.
will have a capital stock of $4,000
and $4,000 surplus
Practically all of the stock is TAX
en- by local parties. mostly in small
blocks, The officers have not been
announced, but l.. T. Abersold will
be cashier and the others will be an
nounced in due time
The location OF the new building
which they Will put up is not yet
announced, but this is expected to be
slated for the lots north Of T. v.
Addington's building.
The promoters are finding that
there are many details to arrange
before ready to launch an enterprise
of this magnitude.
When we remember that less than
three years ago we were praying
for one bank with the minimum OF
SlO.000.00 capital, and were being
told by wise flnanciers that 1t could
not possibly pay, and the nearest
bank was at Grover and now the
field looks tempting enough to start
a second bank here with capital.
such as the above it is pretty good
evidence that Raymer is growing,
and that her own people are getting
to the point where they can finance
propositions of some size and not
stutter Raymer is on the map and
just watch MS grow.

RAIL WORKERS ARE RAISED
Track Laborers, Watchmen, Clerks,
Station Agents and Others Draw
ing Small Pay Benefited.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Nearly 1,000.-
900 men, or half the railroad EN-
ployees of the United States, share
in additional wage increases approved
on Tuesday by Director General Nc
Adoo. Track laborers, watchmen,
other maintenance of way employees,
clerks, station agents and other
classes of employees drawing relative
" low pay are benefited. Most of the
increases range from 10 to 80 per
cent above present wages. Garnish-
ment of railroad employees pay was
forbidden by Director General McAdoo
as a means of ending much legal work.
At the same time 1t was made plain
that employees who do not pay their
hin will be dismissed. This. it Is be-
lieved, will prove sufficient protection
for merchants holding bills against
railroad men.

urged to begin classification immedi-
