BOOST FOR Hotyoke

Holyoke citizens are busy these
days cleaning and improving their
lawns and putting in flower and veg.
etable gardens which later will make
the town place of beauty and JOY
to look upon. Holyoke is noted for
its comfortable homes and beautifsil
flowers all over this part OF the state
and western Nebraska. No town for
many miles on either side on the D.
L. p. has better water and lighting
systems than our town. We are very
proud to be citizens of so good a town,
What we need now is O. united Com

ness man and booster in Holyoke, one
in which politics are entirely "ta-
booed.' Then all pull together and
boost for a greater and better Hol-
yoke. Yes, we have a Commercial
Club and a Civic Club. but that is
just the trouble. Let us all get to.
gether under one head and see what
cooperative boosting can do.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

| The eighth grade examinations are
being held this week In schools where
students must leave early for spring
work on the Farm. The questions
have been sent to all the schools
wlrere there are any eighth grade
pupils so that those who don't wish
to take the finals now may use them
for review. !.
The eighth grade graduation will
take place at Haxtun one week earlier
than at Holyoke because the schools
in the west end OF the county. in the
majority OF cases, close one week
sooner than those In the east end.
The graduating exercises win take
place on Thursday evening. May 18th.
The suggestion that all eighth grade
girl graduates wear o uniform grad.
uating dress OF sensible pattern and
cotton material has met with such
wide approval that It is very strongly
recommended. White skirts instead
OF black. as was suggested last week
has been suggested by many as being
more desirable. Mr. Mcfarland.

INTEREST INCREASES As SERIES
or MEETINGS ARE BEING
CARRIED OUT

The next regular Farmers and Wo-
mems meeting Of the series being held
at the Holyoke High School building,
will be Saturday night, April 21st, at
is o'clock. The subject for general
discussion will be "The Care OF Soils.
and the Rotation of Crops with Seed
Selection for Increased Production"
Thus far all the discussions have been
about live stock and the live stock In
dustry and now that the spring work
has opened up with rush, 1t will
be necessary to swing over to the
crop side OF the farming game in
order to round out the series OF dis
cussions to cover most of the phases
Of farm operation in this county.
The system of cropping that has
been carried on here in the past has
reached the place where some change
will have to take place soon il the
standards Of quality and quantity pro-
duction are kept as high as they
should be for advancement.
With this in view, each man who
attends. is requested to come with
good live questions for discussion up
on any Of the topics Of soil care. soil
analysis. seed selection and treat
ment. and the rotation Of crops. At
the previous meetings some Of the
greatest benefits have been derived
from these informal questions and
discussions. where numerous men
took part in the argument, No one
man knows. It all. but as one great
authority has said: "Ons man may
not know all the details Of any eatsr-
prise. but put ten or more men IN
one room who have to meet similar
problems and when they come out
after their discussion. they win N

Rocky Glens Win 13 to 3

In the baseball game Sunday af-
ternoon between McLuney and
Rocky Glens, the latter won by a
score of g to 3. This was the last
game of the season, and perhaps due
to the fact that A. w. Cooper pitch
er for the Pittsburgh Nationals, and
Don Dougan catcher of the st. Paul
Association, were the batteries, a
large crowd was out Cooper pitch
ed the entire game, during which he
uncorked a number of clever plays,
and both he and Dougan enjoyed
playing the game with the local
team The people here greatly ap-
preciated the game and to see these
two professionals in action.

been visiting Mr.. Cooper's people up
the river, leave this week for Co
