do your best and never falter, and
you will win.
Corn Prices Slow.
The farmer is feeling badly over
the low prices of errains. wheat and
corn especially. They are just i Bed
in not being satisved with the pres
ent low prices, but they are not the
only ones to suffer. The elevator
man is in for it as well as any one
else. For instance the elevator man
receives corn in the ear from the
farmers and places it in a crib, and
by the time the crib Is filled the price
is way lower than the average price
paid for the corn. Then the crib is
shelled and the corn shipped, with a

'loss to start with. To endeavor to
I break even the corn is shipped, on
j consignment and to prevent further
loss which has come on every ghlp
j ment lately. The same amount ol
I corn is sold on the board, which many
j condemn, because they call it gam
bling, but how is one going to break
1 even unless they sell at such a price
as will save further loss. Then there
is a loss to the elevator man. So the
; pressure of dull times is passed
; ;round to all.
Entertained Bridge Club.
Mrs. D. R. Frans entertained at
I her beautiful home in Union on Wed
nesday of this week the members of
I the Union Bridge club and has a
large number of her friends pres-
jent for the pleasant occasion. A num

held at the Baptist church on Sun
j day, January 4th, when all members
are urged to be present and partake
Ol the service. This is a very import

should not be neglected. Remember
the date. Sunday. January 4th. at

i
Give Shower on Pastor.
Pastor W. A. Taylor and the good
wife were given a very friendly
shower a few days since when they
; at the same time celebrated the pass
tug of the birthday of Mrs. Taylor.
1 A large number of their friends were
present and there are a host of them,
each bringing something or article
i needed in the home, things to eat
and things to wear. Besides they
were there to bring good cheer as
well as the thing which was lo sus
tain life. A most enjoyable time was
Iliad when the young people played
games and did stunts which ken; the
good natured crowd laughing all the
evening. The friends presented Mrs.
Taylor with many nice remembrances
as well, for that was the passing of j
her birthday. Well along in the
! evening Mrs. Taylor was called on j
to make an address and as she was
not accustomed to making public ad
dresses the thanks due to the friends
who were gathered there, the mat- ;
ter was taken up by Rev. Taylor who
expressed their thanks or the kind-
ness of the friends. Besides that,
Mrs. Taylor and the husband are ex
tending their thanks through the
columes of this paper for the many
kindly remembrances and more the
kindly f.elings which prompted the
presentation.
Many Watch the Star.
On last Monday ana Tuesday
.mornings many or the people or
Union were watching the star visible
in the dav time, and while many
never had seen such a sight, there
were some wha remembered when a
jstar was visible during the day time
for as long as a month. This hap
pens but occasionally, about four
teen years apart.
Eavl Wclfe Improving.
The many friends, and tiiey are
many, of Earl Wolfe, who was so
! badly injured several weeks since.
are pleased to hear of his showing
i good improvement at this time. Earl
has a host of friends who are hoping
jthe time will be short w! i he can
be home again. His cheery s nile and
'kindly greeting is missed on thf
streets and his presence in the home.
Two Artists in Amusements.
Mrs. Mildred Newton of Platts
mouth was a visitor in Union for a
few days recently and was the guest
at the home of her mother. Mrs. Ves
ta Clark, and she with her friend,
Miss Mamie McMann, made the life
and soiree of the gathering when
the friends of Mrs. V. A. Taylor and
husband gave this couple their show
er. The young women surely know
the art of entertaining.
Aeeinp- the Home Brew.
We ciianced to be at a place not
a thousand miles from Union this
week and the proprietor had just re
ceived a new radio and was giving it
the once over. Notwithstanding the
day was fine there was developed n
lot of -static and the interference was
pronounced. Slightly ruffled in dis
position the man remarked that there
must be some one ageing his home
brew with an electric appliance. Now
that is had when the radio which
has become so essential to every day
life and the ageing of the home brew
comes in conflict. Something will
probably have to be done.

T WAS new Year's night in
the suburbs of a small town.
The shadowy forms of two
men were slinking into the
deeper darkness, under ti
( lump of trees. They wailed
for some time with growing
impatience. Presently a low,
shriil whistle sounded. One
of the men answered. The form of : n-othc-r
man cautiously approached the
two. "How does the land lay, Billr''
asked one of the men of the newcomer.
"Nothing doing," repiied Bill. "I can't
help it, boys, but it Is all off so far
as l am concerned." mere was an
awkward pause, then P.iil continued:
"I know that you will think that I am
yellow. You can f-hoot me if you want
to, but I am out of it. You can go
ahead with the job and there will
never bo a squeal from me. When my
mother died I promised her I would
be a man. She has been on my mind
all day. I am going straight. That is
my New Year's resolution."
A volley of oaths rolled from the
tongues of the two men. Their plans
had been upset. Bill had been their
companion for ten days and had en-
"I Want
Work,"
Have
:id. "5 Must
Work."
gaged to be their accomplice in n bank
robbery about to be pulled off. The
two men hardened criminals knew
that a large shipment o? money had
been received at tiie local bank and
New Year's nisrht would be a good
time to blon- the vault. The two men
wore exffetMJto the profession. Bill
had drifted in with them after ne had
tramped for n few weeks, begging for
something to eat from house to house.
I k couraged, ho had decided to "throw
in" with them and he was to have
driven the car in which they proposed
to get away after the job was finished.
"I'm not yellow," continued Bill. "I
am .uoing to get cut of here and go
Straight. There will never be a word
from me nhom: either of yon nor this
job.'' With this Bill turned and start
ed out into the night. They called to
him to stop, hut Bill did not stop. A
shot rang out and
uncomfortably close
ran and was soon
a bullet whistled
to Bill's head. He
lose in the dark-
The no?:( morning Bill crawled out
of an old she. I and washed his face in
Ice water. He started to hunt for
work. He was determined to find
work. A neat little cottage attracted
his attention. He knocked at the back
door and asked the good looking
young woman who came to the door
for work. "I want work," he said. 'T
must have worl;.' lie made the state
ment with such evident sincerity that
the young woman Bcrntinized him care
fully. ' All right," she said. "You can
shovel :. ro;1 through thnt Snowdrift
back ol the coat house so the coal
in in can put in a load of coal this
afternoon."
Till went to work. Ho worked with
a vision of thr- young woman and his
new rcsolntl w In mind. In an hour the
road rras shoveled out. He was con
sclt as that a pair of brown eyes had
been watching him out of the kitchen
window. The work was hardly fin
ished before a call came from the
li iclc porch. Dinner was ready. In the
kitchen was a small table with plates
laid for two. Bill sat down and iried
hard to cat as if he was not very hun
gry. Slowly the young woman wormed
win oi uuzi parL oi uie siory or DlS
life. There was no hint of the job he
had come to town to pull oil. He must
have work and he was going to work
in that town,
Bill did work. He gtt a job through
the Influence of lhe young woman. He
made good. He bought better clothes.
He made a good appearance. A real
estate firm offered him a position us
salesman. He made a toed land sales
man and soon his commissions began
to pile up. He saved money. In two i
years he was a member of the firm
an 1 more than that, ho sat at the head
of the table in the neat little cottage
where he found his first work. The
cottage had been enlarged.
In just twelve years from the day
Bill stajrted to put his new resolution
through, he was elected president of
the bank that he came to town to
help rob.
