FARMING
The Basic Industry!
The business of farming is the
basic industry upon which all of
the industries of the world de
pend. Of course, even the very
life of the people of the world de
pends upon the production of
food.
When the farmer raises no
crops, the banks of the country
have no money, the merchant's
business is poor, the manufac
turer has little demand for his
ocds and the whole world is
topsy-turvey.
Farming is the greatest busi
ness in the world. This bank
lends every encouragement pos
sible to farmers. It appreciates
that its prosperity depends upon
the prosperity of the farmer.

That's the way to look at painting as an investment, not
an expense. Look around you at the houses going to rack
and ruin. What is doing it? The weather. There is only
one defense against weather and that is paint. But paint.

There is a pretty good movement
of corn to market at this time, and
with the improvement of the roads, '
it is expected to increase. The price '
at this time is 46 cents, and with a!
fairly generous supply of cars the
grain is moving rapidly. This is re
lieving business conditions and help
ing to restore trade relations. While
everyone is desirious of receiving
better returns there is a tendency
among the farmers to make the best
of the situation.

tle, the animal began bucking and

right ankle, and fracturing a number
of bones in the foot. Dr. Barritt re-
, duced the fracture and during the
day and night following the in
jured member was giving much pain.
The horse which he mounted to ride
to the barn for the purpose of work
ing, had no bridle, but only a halter,
but it was supposed to be safe, as
the children had rode the animal dur
ing last summer.
Now is the opportunity to hear an
excellent entertainment, clean and
filled with fun and good entertain
ment. The charges will be very low
and especially wehn considered as it
is a most excellent entertainment.
A Worth While Practice
It has been the habit of the fac
ulty to provide something outside of
the regular course of studies for the
students of the high school from time
to time, and in line with this policy
last week they secured Dr. C. M.
Swab for an instructive and enter
taining talk on the subject of "Per
sonality." Dr. Swab made his theme
applicable to the student as well as
the man of affairs in the business
world. The practice of having such
talks at intervals is a good one and
is proving popular with the students
as well as productive of much good.
Will Give Entertainment.
The Wesleyan Glee Club of the
Wesleyan university, will give an
entertainment at the M. W. A. hall in
Union on Friday evening, February
25th. which will be a rare treat to

young men voices, and will be well
worth the time of any one who in
: any way appreciates music. The
charge will be very moderate.

;hur?h will also be held.
Buisness Getting; Better.
A. L. Becker, the merchant, and
C. W. Clarke the hotel man. as well
as many others, are saying that the
business matters are assuming better
conditions and that trade is increas
ing. We think we also notice more
people and more trading, the roads
are getting better to travel and there
are more people shelling and deliver
ing grain, even at the lower prices,
and are getting in condition for the
coming spring work. At the place
of business ofFrank Bauer, that gen
tleman is so busy that he does not
have time to tell us the news now.
Go to it gentleman, we are for you
and hope business may greatly increase.
Matthew McQuinn Very Serious.
It was deemed after a consultation
last week that it was the best thing
. to take Mr. Matt McQuinn to a hos
; pital in Omaha, where better facili
! tits could be had in treating his case.
; He was accompanied by the family
physician. Dr. J. F. Brendel, and
j Mrs. McQuinn. and after having been
there long enough to obtain a slight
rest an x-ray was taken of his side,
and it was determined after a critical
examination of the picture that it
would require a major operation, but
an incision would be necessary for
the draining of his lung, which was
filled greatly with puss from the in
fection. It was thought that it would
require the removal of one of the
ribs in order to get at the puss cyst.
A telephone call from Omaha on Mon
day morning requested W. H. Marks
to come as Mr. McQuinn was very ser
ious. Thomas McQuinn however, re
turned home Monday afternoon, and
reported the father as feeling some
better. His condition is regarded as
very grave, however.

Mis. M. J. Burbee Better.
Mr. Herbert Burbee went to Oma
ha last Wednesday and accompanied
