Sure a Gccd One
The new Neutrodyne radio which
was purchased and installed by Mr.
R. C. Pollard is a fine one and while
it is claimed that they are difficult
to tune in until the places have been
charted. One of Mr. Pollard's friends
tells us that when the new machine
came and was being unpacked even
before the aerial had been erected
the instrument was sending in some
good stuff from Atlanta and as rear
as Henry Pollard could find out it
was playing "Marching Through
Georgia."

You need not pay high
prices for clothes of good
quality. And you can't ex- K
pect quality if you look only
for low price.
JYou can strike the "happy
medium" in Clothes Tailored

are priced to provide the finest
of woolens and workmanship,
without anything added to
cover wasteful producing and
selling methods.

They give you a more durable roof

they never curl.

so much plant food, material that
will never wear out. sooner or later
we find examples of what was once
a rich farm "out at the knees" also.
Perhaps it Is a hillside where its
good top soil has been washed off or
perhaps it is a field that has been
cropped to wheat, oats and barley
until it hasn't the ability to yield as
it formerly did. It is true that our
Nebraska soils are rich but they will
wear out. They are most likely to
run down in organic matter and ni
trogen first, but these fortunately
can be rapidly and cheaply replaced
by growing alfalfa and the clovers,
particularly if these crops are pas
tured off or fed on the farm and the
manure returned. About six out of
every hundred acres of cultivated
land are now in alfalfa and clovers
;in Nebraska. Good farmers of the
j state say that sixteen acres of le
I guracs to every hundred acres of
'cultivated land would be betur. How
