SEVENTEENTH YEAR.
NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, JULY 12, 1901.
NO. 40.
Blow! Blow! Blow!
It is natural for some people in business to
BLOW. It is not our object to BLOW,
give glowing descriptions, or make risky
assertions in prices.
This is no circus bill and we have no red
lemonade for sale. Plain facts go farther
than fiction which will not bear investigation
Our goods speak for themselves. No
flowery figures of price are necessary.
A. L. DAVIS,
THE HARDWARE MAN.

BETWEEN THE RIVERS.
J, M. Dwyer had a fine colt badly
damaged in a wire fence the other
day. It will recover but will be
badly scarred. He also had an
other older one get a leg broken in
some unknown way.
E. F. Seeberger returned the
fore part of the week from a busi
ness trip to Chappell.
Grasshopcrs are still located here
but are harmless as ever for which
the tiller of the soil is very grati
fied.
We counted thirty-two large.
plump kernels in one head ol
wheat the other day that was
grown on a yallcy farm.
The intense heat the first of the
week done up several men and
teams.
Fall grain is all in the shock.
The second crop of alfalfa as well
an wild hay is being piled up fast.
Sugar beets are doing fairly
well at this time,
C. L. Bowen and Geo. Hatfield
arc repairing the Farmers & Mer
chants canal at the present time.
Isaac Dillon has just finished
loading twelve cars of new baled
hay at Pallas. W. F. McGlone
of North Platte shipped it.
The chinch bugs have damaged
spring grain to some extent lately
but it ih about all out of their
reach at Hub tunc in this section.
The old canal company have had
a crew of men at work on their
canal tor some time.
Wltlte Man Turnod Yollow.
Urent consternation wbb felt by tlio

Nearly all the maple trees in
North Platte arc affected with a
pest which turns the leaves to a
light yellow, and later the leaves
curl and to some extent die. In
Bpcaking of this pest Prot. Bruncr
of the state university says: This
insect 1b known as the white cot
tony scale of the maple tree. I
would suggest that it might very
readily be handled at this time by
spraying the trees quite copiously
with kerosene emulsion, hlncc now
is the time when the scale insects
are running about over the tree
and without the usual scale cover
ing ot the body. It is useless to
try to destroy these inscctB after
they once become settled upon the
twigs since they are then covered
with an impervious scale that pro
tects them from the effects of kero
Bene unless sufficiently strong to
destroy the tree along with the
icsccts. Even a good drenching
with soapsuds, if applied with
great force by means of a strong
force pump will do much in the
way of waohiiig off the young insects.
Resolutions.
Whereas, The angry billows of
life's troubled sea have engulfed
our trieud, and the life of John
Baker has gone out in the stream

Mary A. Baker loses an affection
ate son and the family a devoted
brother.

ute to the memory of the departed
to say that in regretting his re
moval from our midst wc mourn
tor one who was in every way
worthy ol our respect and regard.
Resolved, That S. A. Douglas
