"QUICK MEAL" OIL STOVES No. W4 Keep Your Kitchen Cool in Summer w HY should you have to stand over a hot coal or wood fire during the hot summer days? No matter if you huy a wick oil stove or a wickless, cook with oil this summer and save yourself. The stove shown above is a high-grade wickless oil stove. The frame is identically the same body as that used in our ' ' Quick Meal ' ' wick oil stove, the only difference being that the one shown here is fitted with wickless burners and uses an asbestos ring, whereas the "Quick Meal" stove shown below uses a wick. Quick Meal wickless oil stoves are very easy to operate. When the indicator attached to the valve points to a certain number on the dial plate, the flame will be just a certain size and when turned back to number one on the dial plate, the burner will go out. In this way all guess work is overcome. A device for lifting up burner-drum makes it easy to light. "Quick Meal" oil stoves give an intense blue flame, a more economical stove could not be made. Large glass tanks in place of metal tanks jued on other stoves is another big improvement. No. 9274 as shwn above sells for $23.00 No. 9774 as shown above sells for $38.00. Other models $10.00 to $47.50 No. 9774 PROSPECT OF WOOL FAMINE 110 on an all wool unit, something that you may not bo able to get at any price in the near future.

M. Seidell, county agent. Mr. Seidell states. "This can be offset at the start by treating all seed potatoes with corrosive sublimate or forma lin Results obtained through dem onstrations and held practice in Box Butte county during the past two years have (dearly demonstrated the value of treatment in Increasing the yield of marketable potatoes and raising the quality so that the local buyers have in normal times paid five to ten cents more per bushel fur potatoes produced from treated seed. "In demonstrations conducted in 191;'." says Mr. Seidell, "the treated potatoes yielded 28 bushels more per acre of marketable potatoes, while in 1916 the increased yiei.. averaged about 11 bushels more per acre. "Late planting," states the county agent, "naturally does much to con trol disease, but it is not on the late or very late planted potato that Box Butte county formal!" es'-iMished it reputation, but Instead on the ripe meH potato. Kxtra field culture should be given the potatoes this year, but this will probably be lim ited to some extant by the scarcity of farm labof. "Over 1700 acres of potatoes were treated for disease in Box Butte county last year, while the year be fore the average treated was about 400 and the year before that about ISO. The Increase in acreage treat ed has resulted from the demonstra tions and the finding of Held prac tice in its favor. If standards are established by this market season, which is indicated, it is imperative that all potatoes be treated to con trol diseases. "The corrosive sublimate treat -ment Is better than the formalin treatment. The former is a poison and care should he exercised in Its use. For each 30 gallons of water add 4 ounces of corrosive sublimate dissolved in hot water. Cover the potatoes to be treated and leave in solution for two hours. The solu tion may be used four -times and then should be replaced with new A given number of gallons of solu tion Whell used four times will treat safely two-thirds of the number of gallons in bushels. The formalin treatment is the same as the corros ive sublimate only it may bt used indefinitely and consists of one pint of formaldehyde to 30 gallons of water." inns one week later. I tils is tn third of the series of meetings be ing held in this county during the spring and summer months.

The meeting which was oiiginally scheduled for Wednesday, May 30. to be held at the home of Mrs. Fred Nason, has been postponed on ac count of that day being Decoration dav. The meeting will be held later. No meeting will be held Saturday, June 2. Miss Rokhar wishes it distinctl understood that these meetings are for all women of Box Butte county. No one is excluded. The expenses are being nuid by all the people and as many as care to are welcomed to take advantage of the opportunity afforded them. Women should at tend the meeting nearest their home, or the one most convenient for them to attend. know of a place where labor Is need ed. and thus no time will be wasted and the laborer will be afforded con tinuous employment. If the town ship leader does not know where la bor Is needed in his township, then he should notify one of the sub-of-Oces at once, and then if they are un able t o place th' OM looking for work, tin- county office is notified, and so on up to the state and nation- ' al offices. In this way the count v should be able to support itself from a labor standpoint and if an excess of labor is located it can be made available to some close point that is ess fortunate.

REDDISH, Reddul Block. 15tf-67L: urn ssm Hsi How a Home Differs from a House The difference between a Home a place that is permanent and where Home is paramount, and a House a mere place to live in is easily distin guished. A casual observer explained it in the following manner: The lack of Music is the real difference between a house and a HOME. Contentment, Comfort and genuine Pleasure are the main attractions of a real Home, and no one will doubt this Statement. Are the Young Folks of Your Family Contented and happy? Is home to them the dearest spot on Earth, or are they away from home most of the time seeking something they have not got at home Pleasure and Entertainment? If so, we have a solution. One of our Pianos or Player Pianos will fill that long-felt want, making Your Home more attractive and therefore the members of Your Family contented. This big subject could not be handled or fully explained in an advertisement as small as this, but if You will call at Our Store in any of the ciites in which we have stores, we will be glad to give you additional Facts that will set you to thinking and cause you to understand why it is that Music in the Home is the most desirable thing that the family could have.
