' nant gathering when the little

vines' chapter of the Church School
Service League of St. Luke's Episco
pal church gave their Christmas pro
gram, and were assisted in the event
by a number of little guests who
were fereatly enjoyed. ..
The young people who comprised
the prrrain were delightful in their
res-pective numbers and those in at

ing the lengthy program and every
one surprised at the skill and mark
ed ability of the little folks. The en
tertainment had been arranged bv
Mrs. II. It. Cole. Mrs. J. J. Wilson,
Mr:-:. V. It. IJgenberger and Miss Hel
en StJlsniith. and the.-e ladies are
to be congratulated on the very pleas
ing program that they had prepared
for the evening.
The program was opened by the
singing of the Christmas carols by
the nuniV.ers of the party and the
sweet little voices made the music of
more than usual charm and sang
with a sincerity and purpose thst
marked the devotion of the little
ones to the ideal of the Christmas
time.
The program was largely in the
nature of recitations by the little
folks and each was a triumph in it
self. Ethel Mae Harris gave "Scar
ing Santa '; Hallie. Finder, "The Rea
son"; Charlotte Field, "If Santa
Lived in a Shoe"; Ada Mae McFar-
land. "A Xnias Puzzle"; Ruth Find
er, "That Shocking Stocking"; El

Mary Cole. "Unequal"; Jack Olson,
"If I Was Ten Years Old".
A very pleasing dialogue was giv
en by four of the little folks, Jane
Fricke. Donald Harris, Laura Grass
man and Jack Olson in "Our Gifts",
which proved a pleasing feature of
the program.
A number of other recitations that,
were given in a most charming man

of the youth of the speakers by
Thelnia Kroehler, Susan Falter of
Falls City, Laura Grassman, Jack

Wilson and Miss. Eleanor Beemer
playing a piano duet while Jane
Louise Dunbar gave a charming pi
ano solo. Hallie Finder was heard
in a vocal number that was much
eajoyed.
One of the very enjoyable number
was the chalk talk given by John Fal
ter of Falls City, and this young man
showed great skill in his work on
the black board.
Miss Dorothy Black of Omaha, who
was a house guest at the Rectory of
Father and Mrs. W. S. Leete, delight
ed the members of the party with
two pleasing Christmas stories and
which were received with much de

which added to the delights of the
young folks and it was with regrel
when the home-going hour approached.

on us, and everybody happy.
Lets get down to business.
THE Peak of the High Prices is reached
and we've started down the other side the
side with livable conditions at the bottom.
The coming year will see more things act
ually done, in the way of price adjustments
than all the talk of the past three years, of
"LOWER" prices.
This is adjustment week with us. We
discontinue the discount and are mark
" ing everything in our store, not as to cost,
but according to what the article is worth,
or what it can be bot for at this time.
There are many warm things you need

pre-war basis in this shop, and will not be
cheaper in the Spring or next Iall.

From Tuesday's Daily.
Judge James T. Begley, who was
in attendance at the banquet of the
district judges of the state held at
Lincoln yesterday enjoyed a v-jjy
pleasant time at the gathering at
which all the members of the state
supreme court were guests. The
judges had a session with Governor
McKelvie as well and in which the
Indeterminate sentence law was dis
cussed and the members of the bench
expressed themselves freely concern
ing the operation of the law and the
methods of making releases under
its operation. One of the greatest
faults that is found it the fact tlia t
the releases are made on the records
made in the prison and in this the
old offenders have proven to have
been showing the best deportment
and consequently have been released
while others whose cases were le.sa
serious have been compelled to serve
a longer period. The judges, how
ever, decided to leave the law revis
ing up to the legislature at the next
session of that body.
MARRIED MANY YEARS.
Married life covering fifty-six
years is far longer than the average
man or woman is given to enjoy, yet
such is the pleasant fate of our old
friend Columbus C. Despain and wife,
who on Christmas passed the Ji f t
sixth anniversary of their wedded
bliss. Th marriage of this estim
able couple occurred on Christmas
day 1864. at old St. Mary's in Mills
county. Iowa, and in speaking of the
event Mr. Despain relates an inter
esting fact. It had been the desire
of Mrs. Despain that the wedding be
performed by Rev. Hamilton Rice of
Bellevue, who had taken her into
the church, and to secure him, Mr.
Despain walked over the frozen river
to Bellevue and on the arrival there
found that the minister was not at
home and he was forced to retrace
his steps back home where Judge In
galls, a pioneer justice of the peace
was secured to perform the cere
mony. In 18 65 this worthy couple came to
Cass county and have since made
their home here where they are uni
versally loved and respected by all
who know them. Here's hoping that
these estimable people may enjoy
many more such happy anniversarios
in the years to come.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Walling was the scene .of a , very plea-t-.nt
house party over Christmas
when a number of relatives and
friends gathered to assist in the holi
day festivities. Among these were
Mrs. Morris O'ltourke and daughter.
.Mtrgaret of Omaha. Mrs. Mary Mc-I-.ugh
of Falls City, M Uses Mary Mc
lluf h. Attilia Czaplek. Rita Esinmen--:r,
Blanche Nicola of Omaha.
HAD BAD FALL.
This morning Judgo M. Archer, the
wnerable polite magistrate of the
fity sustained a very severe fall at
his office in the cily hall and which
caused a serious sprain to his back.
The judge was looking after some
w.iter pipes that had frozen and hr.d
sprung a leak and while he was
:;:: r.r over bis feet slipped from
u::der him, causing h't? to fall vor
iieaily on his hip and back ;ind su
tuining -a very severe injury. 1

residence in a car.

The Joliet Cylinder Corn Shelters possess all the advantages of other cyl

They do not require a man to stand behind them in the dust to keep back
the unshelled ears of corn. . t-.
In fact, these shellers are as nearly automatic as any machines can be that
require adjustment for different kinds of work.
We have these shellers in stock. Come in and look them over.
