High School Notes.

The first program of the Lin
colnian Society given Friday
Sept. Goth, was we'll attended,
Many were unable to get seats
in the assembly room. The pro
gram went off very smoothly,
those appearing showing evil
dence of ample preparation. The
musical numbers were especially
good. The Glee Club rendered
two selections under Rev. Davies
leadership and merits much cred
it for its splendid work. The
vocal duet by Ruth Radcliffe and
Mary Davies was eciated by
all as also the piano solos by
Dorothy Mcintyre and Lois
Gunderson. Lenore Radcliffe and
Leona Rand gave very interest
ing readings. A dialogue be-
tween a man and his wife was
given by LaVerne Giese and L.
D. Hall in an able manner. All
enjoyed the community singing
led by Rev. Davies. After the
program the evening was given
over to pleasure of a less serious
nature. The Juniors served cot
fee and sandwiches and in this
manner raised about $1,000 to
help swell the French War Or
phan Fund.
Walter Sheribel resumed work
at school Monday after a years
absence. He is enrolled as a Jun
ior.
Alice Juve entered school Fri
day thereby increasing the Sen
ior roll to Z. Miss Juve was un-
able to attend last year because
she could get no place to board.
Ernest Meihawk is again en-
rolled. This brings the total up
to II. All indications point to
the continuation of this number
throughout the year. With ten
more from the country next year
and eighteen coming in from the
city grades and with only seven
graduating in the spring,
close estimate of next years en-
rollment is ninety eight, nearly
one hundred. This is thirty nine
more than the present building
can accommodate.

Help Red Cross Hit
White Plague-in Sale
Of Christmas Seals

New York, Nov. 22.-The Red
Cross Christmas seal sale, which
will begin all over the country on
December /, and continue until
December 10, will mark the begin
ming of another phase of the race
between tuberculosis and the agen-
cies organized to beat this most
deadly menace of the American peo-
pie. In the IA years during which
the National tuberculosis associa-
ton has been co-ordinating the
work of fighting the white
plague in the United States there
has been an average increase Of 400
per cent in the varied facilities for
combating the disease.
But the statistics recently made
public at the headquarters OF the
association indicate that tubercu-
losis is very nearly keeping pace
with the efforts to eliminate it.
For this reason more than ESQ.,
100000 Red Cross seals must be sold
in the first 10 days of December in
order to carry out the plans of the
National tuberculosis association
and its 1000 affiliated state and
local organizations during 1920.
Each seal has been aptly termed
"a pennyworth of health" so ESQ.,
100000 of them are valued at

American Actor Is
London Hit Because
OF Natural Acting

London, Nov. 22.-In a land
where comedians score through arti
fetal eyebrows, paint-smeared faces,
ludicrous trousers and "adventitious
aids" to funniness, Walter Catlett OF
San Francisco has made great hit
by being his own droll self.
Real comedians have been going
their laugh-provoking way in Amer
lea for years without single Dor
rowing from the box of tricks of
the circus clowns, but the men who
stand at the top here pull so heavily
on the paint pots and property
mans stock that Catlett is hailed
as an innovation.
And what a lot of good publicity
stuff there is connected with the
new" comedian. British papers re-
count a score of interesting items
that keep the American before the
public eye. He looks like Wilson.
He wears gigantic horn-rimned
glasses, his only/"prop." He broke
into the stage from a church choir
at the age of 8. His mother has
been present at every first night I'M
til the opening in Baby Bunting"
at the Shaftesbury here. He tries
to be funny without vulgarity, an
other innovation on the British or
continental stage,

Cooperative System
Urged in Industrial
Reconstruction in us

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Oscar McGill,
Seattle, representative of the CO.
operative movement among timber
workers in the state of Washington
speaking at the second and final
days session of the conference of
farm and labor bodies of the coun-
try here today, declared a nation
wide organization of the so-opera-
tive system is the next logical step
in industrial reconstruction in the
United States.
Exactly the same thing that is
happening in Europe is taking place
in this country" said McGill, who
recently returned from abroad,
where he studied industrial condi-
tions in England and France.
"Workingmen are everywhere de-
handing the right to be represented
in the management of industry" he
said.
He explained the system under
which Is timber mills are co-pera-
lively operated successfully in the
state of Washington. Contentment
exists among workers in these mills
and consequently there is no
chance for a strike" he said. 2

MULLEN RANCHER
GIVES HIMSELF UP
AFTER SHOOTING
Rides Horseback 10 Miles and
Tells Sheriff of Neigh
boris Death. !.

Mullen, Neb., Nov. 22-(Special.)
His horse dripping with sweat and
completely worn out with hard rid
ing, Louis G. Rolcombe, rancher,
living about Is miles southeast Of
here, rode into Mullen at ? late hour
of the night and gave himself up
to Sheriff S. L. Dutton for killing
Perry N. Kirkpatrick, a neghbor. As
nearly as can be learned the tragedy
grew out of dispute over the dead
mans cattle getting into the Hol-
comb cornheld.
Holcomb is being held in COM
municado in Jail here.
The tragedy occurred on a school
section leased by Byron Holcomb,
brother of the prisoner. No wit
nesses except Holcomb's brothers
and Kirkpatrick were present Tho
first intimation the Kirkpatrick fam
lily received of trouble was when
somebody at Holcomb's place
phoned them. Holcomb saddled
horse Immediately and started to
town to give himself up to officials.
He announced that he will plead not
guilty and preliminary hearing was
set for December 2.
The prisoner does not seem to be
in the least worried over the affair.
He sleeps regularly and complains
if meals are late in getting to him.
When his wife called to see hin. for
the first time since the tragedy oc.
Cured. accompanied by his brother
and wife, he talked calmly about
things in general. giving instructions
concerning things TO be done on the
ranch. Several times .!,e prisoner

May Maintain Present
Freight Office System
At Union Stockyards

One of the problems that is vex-
! ing officials at the stock yards is
that of whether khe return of con-
troll OF the railroads to private own
ership will affect the joint freight
office maintained at the yards.
1t has been pointed out that the
joint Office has been a great con-
venience to the trade and the sem
timent among the patrons of the
various railroads is most favorable
for a continuation of present ar
rangements.
f. Z. Grimes. joint agent, stated
Saturday he did not know what
steps would be taken. Stock yards
officials and the commission men as
unit say the management of the
Omaha office has been a great sue
cess, in that it has in reality been a
Joint Office for all the roads and
said to be the only complete joint
railroad office in the country.
AT Kansas City, St. Joe, Okla
homa City and the National Stock
Yards, the joint office is said to
handle only live stock and does not
collect cash or handle the accounts.
At the Union Stock Yards, Chicago,
the joint Office handles accounts
and packers business.
On the South Side the Office
handles everything, in and out
bound live stock, packer in and out
business, grain, coal, ETC., includ-
ing the accounts. The joint agent
also has jurisdiction over all the
railroad yards on the South Side,
handling records and the like and
has one of the largest car exchange
bureaus in the United States.
The saving in expenses under the
joint plan is estimated from $500
to $4,000 a month and the consen-
sus of opinion in South Omaha is
that the various roads would do we'll
to continue the joint agent as now
in vogue
