Sneaking of Alvo, when the writer asked what he had to say in favor or Alvo. P. J. Linch said that Alvo was a good place to live for one had friends and could live in peace an$l enjoyment in this town and always be assued. if he would work, of plenty to eat. That is right, work and you can eat. With a genial soil, balmy winds, a warm bright sunshine, and a disposition to live and let live he community of Alvo will bess all who reside here. Cass County all Right. Xo one can successfully say that Cass county, and especially that por tion in the vicinity of Alvo, can not raise as good wheat as any other place, and at the same time produce other crops in like proportion. L. D. Mullen, living one mile and a guar ter from Alvo, this year had seventy five acres of good wheat, and while some was better than others it all produced a good yield. Ten acres of the land yielded 480 bushels of grain, or 4 8 bushels to the acre. Another piece went as high as 36 bushels and the entire seventy-five acres made 1.9S6 bushels, or an average of 26 1-3 bushels to the acre. People will be well fed when this much wheat i3 raised per acre. Will Make Home in Northwest. . Soren Peterson who has been at the Hot Springs.

Telephone No. 27 Plattsmouth, Nebraska Cv WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT, BUICK WILL BUILD THEMn RUMOR FACTORY BUSY Frirn Satiirrtavs Panv This community seems to be the birthplace of the expression, "damt rumor has it." judging from the wild and varied tales that originate in some persons and are given general circulation over the city by partier who should have better mental cap acity than to believe all that they hear of events that they have no per sonal knowledge. These rumors cover all manner of events from the most private personal affairs to the mat ter of public events and the origin ator certainly can take the prize for r. vivid imagination and more vocal power than brains. As an illustration of the spread and cnlarslnc of thse reports an illustration was found last evenin An ambulance came from Omaha to remove Watson Long from his homo rt Mynard to the hospital at Omaha and no sooner had the ambulance made its appearance than the story was broadcast that a great auto wreck had occurred on the highway south of this city and a large num ber of cars of the curious were soon headed in that direction, some even going as far as Union in an endeavor to locate the trouble that the rumor factor had portrayed. A great deal of injury is done by some of these rumors or talk and the parties whe start them should study well the old proverb that "silence is golden." CARD OF THANKS I desire to express the deepest ap preciation of the many kind friends who assisted me in securing the prize in the World-Herald contest, their co operation helping to make this fuc eess possible and I shall always very gratefully remember their services.
