Beyond Comparison In Qualify, Construction, Appearance and Pric With Any First Quality Tire Made Tie vay to create a TIKE SENSATION is to give the people what they want, and Firestone has dene this with the new Firestone Century Progress Tire. As millions of people visited the Firestone Factory at the World's Fair last year, we asked this question "What do you value most in a tire?" They answered "Give us Slow out Protection, Non-Skid Safety, and Long Wear at a moderate price." This Yas a lug order, hut Firestone has a habit of giving car owners what they want when they want it. We knew there was only one way to build Quality and Value into a tire at a r.iodcrcte price, and that was by volume production. We built the greatest tire ever made to sell at these low prices. Car owners are profiting because we found out what they wanted and found the way to give it to them. TL e ne w Firest one Century Pro?rrc3 Tire IS EQUAL OR SUPERIOR to any first quality tire built, regardless of name, brand, by whom manufactured, or at what price offered for sale. CHECK THESE AMAZING VALUES Come in and equip your car with this marvel of tire construction, at the lowest price we have ever been able to make on a tire of this high quality and construction, carrying a Triple Guarantee fcr Unsized Porfcnra?.:s Rs:cr:!5 fcr iife Agcls: All Dsfctfs for 12 K3r.frts Arclnsf A:l r a ij. v .".r Z.I9nlliz iix Comr.irrcinl Scrvlcm Ccrncr Cih and Pearl Streets Platlsmcuth, fr'ehr.

Secretary Broome said the live stock industry may be said to be prosperous in spite cf drouth and de pression. "Prices are satisfactory, considering everything, and feeders expect them to be much higher in the spring. Most of the cattlemen have teed and are not complaining. r.Icst of the complaint comes from those who lea:: too heavily on the government.

HDOCK ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Tool were in Wahoo last Thursday (Thanksgiv ing day), where they visited at the home of their son, Kenneth Tool and wife. Emil Kuehn and wife were in Lin coln last Wednesday, driving over to the capital city to look after some business matters and also visiting with friends there. Albert Theil was visiting with friends at Elmwood last Wednesday evening, driving over in hi3 car. He found the roads a bit tough, but he did not mind a little thing like that. Fred Stock, who has been rather poorly at his home on the farm for some time past, i3 reported as being much better at this writing and ex pects to be able to make a trip to town in a short time in much better health. John Scheel has teen feeling quite poorly during the past week, but is reported as being some better .at this time, although he gets about with difficulty. His many friends hope he may soon be restored to his former good health. Mrs. Glen Bosworth, of Ong, was a visitor at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Scheel, who reside here, fcr a number of days, returning home the fore part of last week. She reports very little of anything in the way of crops about that part of the country, the drouth having been un usually severe there. The snow fences have been hurried ly put up, Louis Schmidt having a crew of men out on this work. The coming cf snow during the past week indicates what is in store from now on and prompted the powers that be to get speedy action in the matter of putting up the fences to prevent drifts interfering with traffic on the high ways. Those from Murdock who went to Murray Thanksgiving day to attend the annual Thanksgiving dinner serv ed by the ladies of the Christian church there were Mr. and Mrs. W. O.
