The new Chevrolet has just been placed on display during the past week and its showing has resulted in a rush of orders that will keep the factory working overtime to supply the de mand. Taking the auto trade as the barometer of business conditions, we would say that better times are at hand and the outlook for the future is most encouraging. Mrs. Nancy McNamee Very 111 Mrs. Nancy McNamee has been very ill of late, which followed a very sudden sickness, and which has kept this good woman in very poor health since and has compelled her to keep her bed on that account.

Eikenberry, both making their home at Brush, Colorado, arrived in Union a few days since and are visiting with the mother, whom they are hoping will be better soon. However, Mrs. Mc Namee is quite poorly at this time. Are Having- Chicken Drive At a meeting of the official board of the Methodist church, which was held at the parsonage last Saturday night, among other things it was de cided to inaugurate a chicken drive for the purpose cf replenishing the finances of the church and to aid in raising the budget. The plan is to ac cept a chicken or more (or the price of same) from the members of the church who are feeling like contribut ing to this laudable cause. w YOUR business or family budget should include not cny a fire insurance premium, but an item to cover the cost of other es sential protection such as burglary, rent and public liability insurance. 1 Sear!
