Boyles ing for near fifty the past year had Farming. who has been Correct tarm- years in Nebraska, about one hundred and fifty acres of wheat, and which while not absoluately the best in the state made a good yield and paid a good profit for the land and effort ex pended to raise the grain. He will expect to seed about the same amount this fall, for the coming harvest next year. Mr. Boyles says regarding farm problems, that the rotation of crops is the best way to succeed in farm ing, as each variety of cropage re quires a. different substance in the soil, and that when the crops are ro tated the soil gets a, rest and the de ficient portions of the soil are allow ed to recuperate and in this way good crops c an be expected with each returning year. ERNEST TRUMBLE TO PLATTSMOUTH BANK It was three o'clock in the morn ing. When we went out to .see; How the weather looked above us. And be hold it was as cloudy as could be. Our grips were packed on the run ning board. So into the car we climb ed; Paying little attention to the weather. But we started just on time. For the rain came down, O! My O Me. It got as muddy as could be. Bui we were on the gravel and we ramb led I must say. For we ate our breakfast at Ilast- ings. At eight by our time of day: i When on and one we traveled Am' j Walter would sometimes say. j I believe we will leave this mud Before noon today. Just the same we did not. For at Atlanta we found j We had left the gravel. And wen j then on muddy ground. ! Now did you ask if we traveled Hu! I'll say. Our speedometer reae' ten and fifteen miles all the way. And ; as we ploughed through the mud Along came some folks that woulc' say: i "Well Mister if you make it t ! McCook" You'll have to plow you wav Just the same as we did. And it wasn't late that day. For we made it to Wray, Colorado And had good roads all the way; Nov about the next day I'll tell you. Win j the mountains we hrst seen, 1 nai never imagined they were so beaut i ful and green.

I Tin:-, year the ankees are out in I front because of the added power that Lou Gehrig has furnished at the bat. j Not only has "Powerhouse Lou," a this teammates know him, stolen much of Babe Ruth's thunder, but he also has been a whale at driving in runs. Gehrig, a good hattsman last sea i so:., has been a truly great one thh year. His superlative hitting has- been the biggest improvement in the play of a club that has made pro gress in various other fei.tures. Even if Ruth should catch ane pais Gehrig in the stretch of the Am erican league home run derby, th latter f great batting will stand a one of the high lights of the present season. Gehrig has great power in hi: shoulders and arms, while Ruth get his distance because of the "swish" of his swing. He starts far back and has a long follow through.

There are 28 miles of wire in the or gan and the cables that lead to the console are 100 feet in length and carry the pressure to the heart of the organ where the tones are reproduced in great volume or with subdued sweetness as the will of the organist calls forth from the keys of the great organ. The Wurlitzer company were the first, it may be stated here, that were able to develop the great symphony orchestra effect from the pipe organ and which has brought the organ music to the hearts of the American pec pie as no other musical instru ment has done. The Parmele organ will have a full orchestra effect with the organ and the organ contains a full and complete outfit of a trap drummer, bells, chimes, xylephone, and the drums and which give forth perfect music. Every instrument will be clearly given and will make possible some wooden Eagle is to lose one of her keen est and most popular young busi ness men this month.

GAS INDUSTRY GROWING A most promising future is predict ed tor the gas industry, with con sumption increasing 10 per cent an nuallv and aOO.000 new customers being added each year. An important factor entering into the increased use of gas in the change fro ni low-pressure to high-pressure mains, permitting customers in sub urban areas to be reached. Hot water, hating. incineration and refrigera tieri appliances also nave played a great pit in the development. Charles R. Henderson, president of the Michigan Gas Association, says: "High-pressure distribution will tend to centralize gas manufacturing plants in the same way that electric power plants are centralized. The re suit will be an intensive effort to improve our operating conditions by development of proper machinery and suitable equipment, which would not be possible in a number of smaller plants. This will allow the gas indus try to manufacture and expand in a few years in a way never dreamed of." All kinds cf business stationery printed at the Journal office.

The electrical workers are also preparing the changes that are to be made in the litrhtine svstem of the Ashland, and j theatre, large sunken lights with handsome grill effects being placed in the floor of the balcony over the dress circle and which is one of the latest methods of theatre lighting. The greatest change and improve ment in the theatre however, will be Timm. the great Wurlitzer organ that is evening; now being installed by Leonard L. Roberts, the erecting expert of the company and who has a great deal of his task already accomplished and in a short time will have the great or gan ready for the final wiring and the tests that will be made of the wonder music producer before the final opening of the theatre. The console of the organ with its myrid stops and keys will be placed in the lower right hand box and where it can be seen by the audience as the organist presents the musical programs that will be an addtd fea ture of the Parmele in the future. The organ proper is a wonderful piece cf work and to fully appreciate it one should see the wonderful parts that form the heart of the organ where are reproduced the notes equal j very wonderful musical programs on the wonder organ. The orfcan cf ntains hundreds of pipes and which carry the twelve inch wind pressure into th organ and the hundreds cf the German sil ver wires that are used in making the delicate contacts of the organ are truly wonderful. The world has been called upon to supply the needs of the Wurlitzer or gan as the different elements enter ing into the organ come from all parts of the world. In speaking on this subject yester day, Manager Cloidt pointed out that 'the ivory comes from the Jungles of Africa and India; copper from our great western mines; flax from the fields of Europe; rosin from the pine forests; leather fro mthe cattle herds of South Anieiica; silk from the silk worm farms of Japan; metals from Swedent; wool from Australia, and woods from the tropical forests. The new organ and the other im provements at the theatre are making it one of the finest theatres in the state and Messrs. Cloidt and Moore are to be congratulated on the splen did spirit of enterprise that they have shown in improving this play house for the people of Cass county.

They have proved, by experience, and careful figuring, that Goodyears are cheapest in the end. Of course we could do it the other way. We could sell cheaper tires at a lower price. We could fat ten up retail prices on inferior tires in order to "dis count" them down so the proposition would look good to you. But we have no burning desire to make ourselves "good fellows" at your expense. If we did, we'd have to be looking for new customers all the time few of the old ones would ever come back for another stinging. No Well stick to GOODYEARS! You will too once you've used them.
