From Wednesday's Daily
Pacific Junction community and in
fact all the west side of the county
mourn the passing of a beloved pion
eer resident in the person of Ellis M.
Lee.
Mr. Lee, since the death of his wife
has divided his time among his child
ren.
His life has been one of activity
and he was always happy when he
could keep busy. His children re
joiced when it came their turn to
have him in their home, for he was
handy at work that required mechan
cial skill, and he insisted in doing
that service for those with whom
he lived.
For above two score years Mr. Lee
has lived in Pacific Junction com
munity. He was a veteran of the
Civil war, first as a volunteer in
an Indiana infantry, and later be
cause of his skill was transferred to
the regular army as a member of the
engineer corps. Children fi grandchil
dren found in him a lovable com
panion and adviso:-.
Ellis M. Lee was born in Stoner

From Wednesday's Daily
The land market in this section of
Cass county is looking up somewhat
and the general spirit of confidence
and faith in the soil of this section,
some of the best land in the world, is
growing stronger as was shown this
week when the sale of several tracts
of land just south of this city, owned
;by B. F. Wiles, was disposed of at a
good figure.
The land all told that was sold
amounted to 221 acres and brought
the price of $40,000, being disposed
of the several purchasers who feel
! that they have secured some excel
lent purchases and real bargains, as
the land is -well located and a por
tion of it highly improved while
there are large sections of timber on
the other parts of the land.
There was 120 acres sold to B. W.
Livingston through the agency of W.
E. Rosencrans. while twenty-two
acres was purchased by James Grif
fin through Searl S. Davis, the real
estate man, and cne tract of twenty
nine acres purchased by C. M. Park
er and one fifty acre timber tract
bought by J. H. Hallstrom through
the First National bank.
These sales are indications that
the faith in the land is being re
newed and also that the investors
are finding it profitable to make
their investments in good old Ne
braska land after several lean years
following the deflation period.
dred pounds at this age. A nice profit
was made on this crop of pigs. Eleven
colony houses which will last ten
years are now on the farm. On an
investment of $162.25 and a little
extra labor, this farmer is in a posi
tion to make a profit on his hogs
every year for ten years. It pays to
keep pigs free from worms and di
seases. Warm Quarters for Young Porkers.
When the sow and litters are
hauled from the central hog house to
the pasture, it is necessary to pro
vide some sort Qf small building to
shelter them from the severe spring
weather. Some men have success
fully used these small one or two
sow houses for sows during farrow
ing time.

Yesterday faternooh the Social

the home of Mrs. E. G. Shallenberg

ladies in attendance at the meeting.
The time was largely occupied with
the business of the organization,
chief of which was the planning of
the Colonial tea to be given next

unusual event with this church or

great deal of merchandise taken
therefrom by some night prowler
and while there were tracks leading
from the car that were followed for
some distance, they failed to reveal
the party or parties that had taken
the merchandise.
Each year the railroad companies
suffer the loss of a large sum by the
depredations of the box car thieves
and every effort is made to secure
the capture of the parties in order to
check the extent of the operations of
the gangs but without apparently a
great deal of success.

Pigs Are Keeping Him Now.
HEY!
ill f f ,
A certain western Nebraska Farm
er has been unable in years past to
make a profit on his hogs. He has
been losing a large per cent of the
pigs which were farrowed. Most of
them died or were runty at weaning
time. His veterinarian told him that
round worms and filth diseases- such
as "Bull Nose" were largely respons
ible for the extreme losses and he
suggested that a definite system of
hog lot sanitation be put into prac
tice to prevent these troubles. After
any considerable thought and study, this
young farmer asked his County Agent
to help him work out a system. His
agent, on hearing what the trouble
was, suggested the building of a
colony of small hog houses in order
that the sows could be farrowed in
them out on a clean field. As a re
sult eleven houses were built at a
total cost of $162,25. Each sow was
thoroughly cleaned and allowed a
shed to herself when she farrowed
and for two or three days following.
She was then doubled up with an
other sow that had farrowed about j
the same time. This made it possible
to handle twenty sows with only
eleven sheds. It crowded them a
little but they were on clean ground
and the pigs remained healthy. Of
the one hundred and forty-twa
pigs which were farrowed, this farm
er raised one hundred and thirty-two,
or six and one-half pigs average per
sow. There was not one runt in the
bunch. They were allowed to run on
Alfalfa pasture and were fed spar
ingly on eighty cent corn. Health
counted, for these pigs averaged one
hundred and fifty pounds when they
were six months old. If they had
been allowed a liberal ration, they.

George Snyder, Jr., who has just
recently returned home from the
Clarkson hospital in Omaha, where
he was operated on for appendicitis,
drove in yesterday afternoon to en

friends. George is still feeling the
effects of his sickness and the com
plications that followed the opera
tion' but is slowly improving. He
has gained seven pounds since re
turning home but is still far from
being back to his former weight and
will require some weeks yet of quiet
and rest to make him back into his
old time form.
Doan's egulets are recommended
by many who say they operate eas

after effects. 30c at all drug stores.

BE SURE of SHIRT COMFORT
Of course you want clever patterns and handsome colorings in your shirts. But when you select
them, remember one important thing:
Lasting Satisfaction Depends on Comfort
And to be sure of "shirt comfort" you must look for the shirt that carries the guarantee of good
workmanship.
Beau Brummel Shirts
"A Real Combination of Style and Comfort"
You can bend over and
stoop and you'll never
feel pinched.
Beau Brummel shirts are good-looking shirts, with the
colors and style and distinction that the well dressed man likes.
But they have good looks backed by features which give
you real shirt comfort.
For instance, there is plenty of fulness everywhere, across
the shoulders and chest, through the armholes and at the
elbows. Plenty of fullness to allow absolute freedom of action,
but not a bit of bunchiness.
The neck band is cut at the proper slope, so that your
collar sets perfectly. The five-button center pleat gives a neat
appearance, even if your trousers "sag" a trifle. The back is
smooth-fitting, yet amply full.
Ease and freedom an abundance of style that's the
Beau Brummel shirt. There are some there that are just your '
kind come in and look them over.
