Mrs. Raymond C. Follard and

attend the inter-state basketball
game which was staged by the teams
of the Kansas-Nebraska state uni

pleased with the excellent game wit
nessed. Glen Ruby of Denver, state geolo
gist for Colorado, was a visitor in
Nehawka and while here designated
the spot where to drill for oil. He
in company with Mr. Geo. Kerr de
parted during the afternoon via Un

looking after some business matters
connected with the project.

who have been serving as jurymen at

The boys and girls teams of bas

Wednesday of this week and judging
from the claims of the Nehawka
teams as set forth on their adver

won both games. Of course whether
they really did or not is probably

R. C. Pollard has just had install

able to get all America and for Cuba
and the seas are not out of his range.
. By getting all America he sure has
j the best of the world, for there are
millions in both Europe and Asia
who would give their right hand for
the privilege of having this same
America their home. In this, we
agree they have much cause for their
dissension.
Correction
tor Journal:
Dear Sir:
I wish to correct an error that ap
peared in your paper of last week in
reference to the basketball jramcs
i oetween Nehawka and Eale. The
: statement was made that Nehawka
jwon both games. The Nehawka
; girls did win a closely contested
match 22 to 20. The boys lost, how
ever, by the score of 24 to 46. Eagle
I petting a big lead in the third quar
ter mat won the game for them.
Very truly yours.

The elimination of weeds from
the snrinar wheat section of the west
is a hnze task that has been under-
taken by the federal department of
agriculture. It it attains the success
expected, many millions of dollars
will be saved to farmers annually,
assert federal officials.
In co-operation with local agricul
tural bodies, including agricultural
colleges, state marketing officials,
farmers and commercial interests

states where wheat i sa principal
crop, what existing methods are cost

Success of the campaign, declare
federal officials, will result not only
in securing higher prices to farmers
for their cleaned grain, but also in
higher yields per acre through elim
inating weeds in the grain fields and
weed seeds in seed grain. :

A Coffee Hint!
Five reasons why buying our Fresh Roasted Coffee is
real economy:
1 We roast it daily. It hasn't been on some gro
cers shelf for months.
2 It is blended by experts.
3 It will give more cups per pound.
4 Never varies in quality always the same.
5 You don't buy a can. You get more value for
what you spend.
Our best customers have been buying this coffee for
several years. The Coffee market is high and it is going
higher. We anticipated this raise and contracted for six
months supply.
