There will be the regular partisan

non-partisan ballots on which the
judicial and school officers will ap

the expenditure of $10,000 to im
prove and repair the county court

There is left the privilege of filing
petitions up to ten days of the elec
tion, but in this county there is not
much probability of this being done.

HOME TALENT
SHOW MAKES
ITS PREMIER
'THE WISHING RING" GIVEN AT
PARMELE UNDER AUSPICES
OF LOYAL WORKERS.
From Thursday's Iallv.
Last evening the Parmele theatre
was very well filled by a pleased
audience to witness the first perfor
mance of The Wishing Ring, given'
under the auspices of the loyal
Workers of the Christian church and
under the personal direction of Missi
Cecelia Farrington. Miss Honor Sey-j
bert was the accompanies! in her,
usual talented manner.
The cast of characters and the var-I
ious choruses were selected from the
ran ks of the talented residents of
the city and their clever impersona
tions of the different parts was more
than pleasing. The play took back
across the years the minds of the
audience to childhood days and the
well known characters were enacted
anew, as in the story books of other
days.
The play opened with two young
sters, Jean and Allan, played by
Helen Reeson and Margie Pickett,
who had been deprived of staying up
for a party given by their mother,
and who wished themselves in Story
Rook land, which they had visioned
from their books of childhood and
their wish being granted, they were
transported to the laud of make
believe, where lived the characters
of their book.
Their adventures with the strange
peoples found there gave them ample
cause to wish themselves back safe
at home. The theft of the wishing
ring of the king of hearts produced
many thrilling situations. The moth
er of the wayward children was play
ed by Miss Rernese Newell.
In the cast of the principals ap
peared the well known characters of
the familiar nursery tales. "Mother
Goose" (Esther Godwin). "The King
of Hearts" (Raymond Larson I. "The
Queen of Hearts" (Fern Niel) and
The Knave of Hearts" (Harry Win- ,
scott.) Others In the cast Included
"Marjorie Daw" ( Dode Krochlor).
"Tom, Tom. the Piper's Son" (Harry
Smith). "Simple Simon" (Hurley
Cecil). "Geraldine. the pet mule"
(Merle Sanders). "Mrs. Jack Spratt"
f Percy Field), "Jack Spratt" (Clair
Hudson). "Bo Peep" (Thelma Hud
son). "King Cole" (Luther Pickett).
"Mrs. Pumpkin Eater" (Mrs. William
P.aird). "Moonbeam, the dream fairy'
(Mrs. H. P. Ralyu) and "Mistress
Mary." which was played by Miss
Farrington owing to the illness of
Miss Larra Mac Prang, who had been
cast for the character.
All f the principals were very
pleasing in their respective roles mid
their musical numbers were e' pecial
ly enjoyed. Miss Farrington. Mis-;
Hudsou. Harry Winseott and Harry
Smith were especially pleasing in
their sole numbers.
The chorus numbers were very
beautifully presented and the tune

w ith much pi-asure by the m em v ers
of the big family at the home, and
the pleasant visit will long be plea
santly remembered by Superintend

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
iV.-m Frlds v's iiailv
The many friends of Miss Henri
etta G.-ebel will regret to learn that
she was painfully injured by being
cored by a cow last Tuesday morn
ing. She had milked the cow and
was startirg to drive her out whn
the cow. being fearful for its young
calf, made for Miss Gaebel. knocking
her down and badly lacerating the
lower p;.it c f her face and neck with
her horns.
She was brought to town by her
brother Fred and her sister, Mrs.
William Lau and her injuries were
! dressed bv Dr. Worthman who found
it ncre;sary to take a number of
sti'ches. Her wounds fortunatel-
are not of a serious nature but had
the cut in her neck extended an inch
or two further, she could not have
lived and as it is, the cut is very
deep, extending to the bone. She
has suffered from the shock and
fright, but she is surely to be con
gratulated upon her escape. Louis

LEGION SUCCESS IN IOWA.
The drive being made by the
Hubert Woodward Post, American
Legion, for. funds with which to pay
for the furnishings of their club room
is meeting with success. A start was
made Tuesday and in no time some
thing like $400 was raised. As the
furnishings include hot and cold
shower baths, gymnasium parapher
nalia, billiard and pool tables and
reading room equipment about $1,200
will be neede'd in all, and it would
seem that this amount could be eas
ily raised. The boys are more than j
delighted with the way in which i
they have been received, and in no!
case have they been turnejj down
without a contribution. Hamburg
and vicinity has not forgotten the
sacrifices the boys made, and the
people of the community are ready to
back them in any way that is neces
sary. Hamburg (Iowa) Reporter.

state of Nebraska has the following
to say:
Fire Prevention Day this year
comes on November Hth in Nebraska.
The first Friday in November has
been set apart- by the statutes of
Nebraska and by proclamation of
Governor McKelvie as clean up day
and the time to study and practice
tire prevention. Nener hasf lire pre
vention day been of more importance
anywhere in this nation than this
year when the cost of materials is so
high that building conditions are
compelled to slacken. Rut it is im-
jperative to preserve what we now
' have. Not only building materials
! but everything has reached the point
(where the cost is to high that it is
(essential to preserve. There is no
better way of preserving a building
than keeping it cleaned up. Ry pre
serving we are conserving as well,
j It is the intention of those who
i have made a study of Fire Prevention
Day that it be m;'de an occasion when
! every c itizen will look into the condi
tion of his premises and remove the
I things that make for danger. Mayors.
, see to i: that your city is relieved of
'such edd rubbish and relics as are
onlv a detriment to the town. Try
. an(i arrange to hire a number of men
i tc) RO aroud and gather uch tin
t (.an rubbish, etc.. in a truck o:i
State Fire Dav after lirst making it
known to the ix-opls that
i will call for the rubbish if
the truck
they have
it pbiccd in a pile in the alley. It
will cost a few dollar.-., but will b
a big improvement in your city and
well worth the while. Fire preven
tion is a wonderful work and it is
"catching". One ueat and tidy
home or plao" of business will mean,
in a short time, others of the same
kind and a lower (ire loss ratio for
the entire community.

WILL FEED CATTLE
This week Will. Charles. Arthur
and Robert Troop. Jr.. and L. 11. and
Parr Young were in Omaha visiting
the live stock market at South Oma
ha and while there purchased several
car loads of stock that they will have
brought to their farms for feeding
this winter. These gentlemen have
had large crops of corn this year and
with the lowering price have decided
that it will be more profitable to
have it fed to the stock rather than
sold at the low price. All of the
gentlemen have excellent facilities
for feeding and expect to have the
stock in fine shape for the market.
Before placing your fire insurance,
call on us and let us explain our
new method, both on city and farm
property.
