LINCOLN - The library funds being inadequate, the city made it possible for the walls, shelves, and floors all over the library building to be painted. Also by changing a partition, a window in the hall was added to the library room. That, together with the paint, makes the room much lighter.
There was also added some much-needed shelves and drawers, and an extra pipe to heat the space behind the desk.
All of this is greatly appreciated by everyone, especially the librarian. This spirit of cooperation between city and library is very fine. We understand it is being done in our neighboring town of Wayne, and other places.

RANDOLPH - Lock on Service Pump Jimmied and Gasoline Stolen Early Sunday Morning “Fritz” Nelson, of the Nelson Motor Co., says “enough is plenty” and that he is too busy dealing in autos and other business to be put to the added inconvenience and expense of having his place of business burglarized about every so often.
The last depredation at the Nelson garage was in the early hours of Sunday morning. A lock on a gasoline curb pump was twisted off and about five gallons of Ethyl gasoline, or what was in the bowl, was stolen. This robbery occurred, probably, after the Bermel store was entered, and may have been the work of the same parties.
Only about two months ago the Nelson garage was entered and a quantity of accessories, including hot water heaters, were stolen, entailing a considerable loss.
And twice last summer the gasoline service pump locks were broken and gasoline stolen.
Mr. Nelson and his force have plenty to do without putting on an all-night shift to watch the premises.

RANDOLPH -Louis Dwyer, senior of St. Frances high school, received a letter from George D. Pratt, chairman of the board of directors of the Oregon Trail Memorial, announcing as winner of the Oregon Trail Essay contest for Nebraska, there is being prepared for him a beautiful bronze medal.
One of these medals is also being mounted for St. Frances school as a tribute to his fine service through its co-operation.
The winner of this state contest is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dwyer, Randolph farmers.
In his letter of congratulation, Mr. Pratt says: “May I congratulate you, and may I further express my appreciation of your fine work in presenting and preserving this vibrant part of the great story of our West. May I voice the hope this active interest is but the beginning of a larger and more permanent interest in the basic story of the Making of America. The richer reward for your contribution must come, not in this medal, but in the satisfaction that you have so materially helped in the enrichment of America’s historical heritage.”

RANDOLPH - James Kerr of this city and Ray Shalander of Wausa have gone into business at Wausa. Their place has been named “The Corner Grocery,” and they will also buy produce direct.
Mr. Kerr, until recently, bought cream here for an Omaha concern, and both men have had grocery and produce experience in the Farmers Union store at Randolph.
Of the new store, which opens next Saturday, the Wausa Gazette says: “Raymond Shalander and James Kerr are managers of the new store. The former is well known in this community; the latter is from Randolph. Both men are experienced in business and doubtless will make a strong success of ‘The Corner Grocery’.”
