All the business houses were cloned Monday afternoon to commenorate the birthday of George Washington.
This was done at the suggestion of the American Legion Audliary. The Knights of Pythias had planned a program for the occasion but when it was learned that the Auxiliary was contemplating an identical observance, it was left to them to work out the program. The program was prepared by the schools and consisted of selections by the high school band, reading by Irma Soukup, a drill by the pupils of the Afth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades and a song by the girls' glee club. The national and the auxiliary colors were advanced and retired by Mrs. J.
J. Klima and Mrs. Millie Jarolimek, pages of the andliary. The audience joined in staging America at the opening of thie program and the Star Spangled Banner at the close. The audience was asked to stand in silence for one minute in memory of those who have departed, then taps were sounded.
The address of the afternoon was delivered by Father McFadden. He reviewed the military career of the l'ather of His Country and narrated the difficulties by which he and his rneager forces were confronted. While the army of Washington won no battles, it did win the war and brought about independence, He baid a stirring tribute to this American character to whom the world is paying homage in this year of the commemoration of his bi-centennial. The Bohemian people read the story of the life of George Washington with keen interest for the reason that 8 Bohemian girl might have been the first lady of the land had she given the proper word. Washington courted a Miss Filipi and asked her hand in marriage but the girl chose another.
This, of course, she had a perfect right to do and we have no occasion for feeling harsh towards her for it but it would have been just perfectly lovely if she had said "yes" instead of "no" and who knows what an influence such a step might have had on the destiny of the little Bohemian nation.

A short program was given Monday afternoon in honor of George Washington's bi-centennial anniver- sary. BETH WOOD, Reporter. LEONA BUMGARNER, Teacher. School District 34. The past two weeks have been taken up mostly with patriotic things of all sorts.
We have been studying about the two greatest presidents. Our mee ing of two weeks ago was an Abraham Lincoln meeting. Quotations of Lincoln were given for roll call. After the business meeting we debated on the subject: Resolved, that Abraham Lincoln was greater than George Washington. Many good points were brought up for both sides, so that the decision was a tie between the two.
Then each one told or read something about Abraham Lincoln. The feature of our meeting last week WAS a three-minute talk by each member on one of the important men who were born or who died in February. These were Mendelssohn, Corot, Dickens, Edison, Boone, Longfellow, Reynolds and Lowell. Each talk was illustrated by something that showed the work of the man. The picture of Washington that we received from Congressman Norton has been framed.
It is very attractive addition to our room. We have put up suitable scenes of the homes of both Lincoln and Washington. On the blackboard is flag drawn with colored chalk, with quotations, first of Lincoln and now of Washington on each stripe. We had planned district program and party to celebrate Washington's birthday but the road and weather conditions would not allow it. E.

William Harder.

MABEL MOLTHAN, Reporter. ANN HARDER, Teacher. Coming Farm Changes.
that spring work will soon begin. Most everyone is ready but work will be late because of the snow which has been here since Christmas. Farm changes are also necessary, and there is nothing so unpleasant as to have to move on such roads, which are the after effects of a winter with plenty of snowfall. There are several farm changes to be made. Charles Erfurth who has been renting the Henry Claussen Sr.
farm east of Ohiowa for twenty some years was given notice to move last year, which gave him ample time to look around. He bought the Harry Theobald farm. Mr. Claussen, who has become advanced in years, divided his land among the children last year and the farm tenanted by Mr. Erfurth went to Mrs.
Martha Beckwith, youngest child of Mr. Claussen now located at Hayes Center. Mr. and Mrs. Jess Sieckmann, a niece and husband of Mrs.
Beckwith, will take porsession this year. The farm to be vacated by Jess Sieckmann, also a Claussen farm, now owned by H. C. Claussen, is to be farmed by Roy Meyer, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Meyer. A farm which H. C. Claussen of Exeter became heir to has been tenanted by Mr. and Mrs.
Bruno Goerz. They are to a farm two miles west of Alexandria, owned by a banker of Fairbury. Mr. Goerz obtained the place last week. The owner thought first of disposing of the land, which delayed notification to Mr.
Goerz. Mr. and Mrs. Goerz have used Ohiowa as their trading point for several years and their friends regret the move, realizing, however, that it is not far distant and with conveniences of travel the mileage can be covered quickly. The land composes of three eighties, mostly in corn.
The railroad and the main graveled road leading west Alexandria run through the place. Mr. Georz' friends are making plans to fish with him this summer, which will be a pleasure to look forward to. The farm which Mr. and Mrs.
Goerz will vacate will be tenanted by F. H. Domeier and sons Andy and Walter. Walter Domeier will continue farming on the Rehor farm which his. parents vacate.
A. V. Stejskal and family will move onto one of F. J. Sieber's farms occupied the past year by Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Ryder and family. Mr. Ryder's new location we have not learned. Mr.
Stejskal will be located on the main road north of Ohiowa and plans to drive to his farm situated several miles north of Ohiowa which land he will cultivate in connection with the Sieber farm. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Most will move onto the farm vacated by Stejskals. Mrs.
Most's father, Joe Sluka, purchased the farm last year. a Will Dittmer moves from the Geneva route to the old Molthan homestead purchased by Mr. Dittmer last year. Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Dittmer we understand will move to the Shickley vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Sieckmann are moving in with Mrs. Sieckmann's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. William Bahe, who are farming the Tom Tonkinson farm. Mr. Bahe purchased a farm in Chelsea township known by many in Ohiowa as the I. J.
Bell farm. Mr. and Mrs. Bahe's intentions are either to erect a new house or remodel the old one March 1 drawing near 18 one sign before moving onto their farm. They will take charge of the land both farms until arrangements can be made.
The farm vacated by Howard Sieckmann is owned by his brother Charles, who will farm the land himself this year. The house may be occupied but this is not certain, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wedeking have taken possession of the Jacob Weiss farm this year, formerly known as the farm of S. P.
Sharp, deceased. A Mr. Rohe and family of Tobias located on the Saatman farm near the Ohiowa cemetery, on the west side of the road. They located in January. Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Theobald and family will move onto a farm in the Harmony district for this year. It is known as the Silvey-Theobald farm. Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Fricke are moving into the farm home vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kokemuller, the land to be farmed by Mr. Fricke's son-in-law. Ernest Schweer.
The Fricke farm will be tenanted by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rippe. Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Kokemuller will locate on one of John Culp's farms, directly west of the Culp homestead. Mr. Kokemuller will farm land adjoining Earle Hill's a few miles from where they will live. Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Warnke are moving from the farm to a residence in Geneva which they purchased last fall. They will not be able to locate in Geneva until about the first of April as the folks who now occupy the home will not be able to vacate sooner. Ohiowa people certainly regret to see Mr. and Mrs. Warnke leave.
They are a credit to any community and the severing of their comradeship in social and business dealings is regretable. Harold Stewart will farm the Warnke land. There will be few other farm changes, some of which are not definite yet. OHIOWA BREVITIES John Klatt and son Lynn spent Monday in Sioux City. Mr.
