March 27, 1924 - reprinted May 31, 1994Jerome Pojar, Dodge farmer known to county authorities as the record holder in the issuing of bad checks, was sentenced late Saturday afternoon to spend fifteen days in the county jail and pay costs of prosecution on charges of issuing five bad checks. All the complaints were filed against him and he was committed to the jail for three days on each one. This sentence, with the costs, will be about thirty days.

After making weekly visits to the homes of Bohemian speaking people for nearly twenty years, our Bohemian weekly, "Domaci Noviny," is now being consolidated with the "Narodni Pokrok" of Omaha, the change having been made this week. It is an action we regret, but it was the only salvation left for us to do on account of the continued growth of The Press to which we now aim to devote more time. Another factor promping us to make this change is the protection of our health which was being undermined by overloaded responsibilities.
We also expect to reorganize our real estate department and will look more closely after this line of work in connection to the printing business.
Although young in years, we have twenty-one years of service back of us in this craft and with an average of fourteen hours of labor daily, we feel that we are entitled to some leisure hours. From now on "Service" will be the motto at this office and all work in the printing line will receive immediate attention.
The "Domaci Noviny" (Home News) were established in the fall of 1904 by our father, Anton Odvarka, now of Omaha, who had charge of the publication until May 1910 and since that time the publication was under our sole management. From the first issue the paper grew very rapidly and in a few years was read in almost every state of the Union and in this territory by nearly every Bohemian family.
At the time of the publication was launched there were six Bohemian weeklies in the state, two of which were published for 25 and 40 years, but none of these were able to survive the dire conditions brought about by the war except the Domaci Noviny, which at the time was the oldest and for several years the only Bohemian weekly published in the central-west. In spite of the fact that the foreign language press has suffered greatly during the war and every nationality lost scores of publications, this change is brought about only of our own good will.
To publish a foreign-language newspaper is a good deal harder task than many of our readers realize. Foreign papers, principally Bohemian and German, were started in several Nebraska cities but met with disaster after only a few years duration, and in many instances they were serving there [sic] mission for only a few weeks.
Over at Schuyler, several attempts were made to publish a Bohemian weekly, but these always failed. When the Domaci Noviny were first issued the same predications were made and in spite of the small subscription fee of 25 cents per annum for the first year, the publication continued to progress day by day in every way for the entire period of nearly twenty years.
The disposition of the "Domaci Noviny" will enable us to devote more time to The Press and all effort will be put forth to make it one of the best weeklies in this section.Below is the complete list of teachers who will have charge of the Clarkson Public for the 1924-1925 term.
