Last spring there was an abundance of rain, sufficient in fact to produce a good crop if it could all have been conserved for that purpose; then followed an unusal iy long dry spell, which in turn has been followed by copious showers and a general rainfall throughout this part of the state. The early-planted 'and late-planted crops generally are good, while as a rule those planted medium-late were the worst injured by the dry weather. It should be stated in this connection that there have been no "hot winds" here, and while crops have been damaged to some extent this year by dry weather, they are far from being a failure. And right here we wish to state a fact, and emphasize it if possible, and that is that crops planted and tilled according to the system advocated by Prof. E.W. Hunt, director for the Box Butte county agricul tural experimentation work, continued to grow and flourish during the driest part of the summer. We do not mean by this only the farming done under his direction, by any means, but the farming that has been done by similar methods. It is the method and not the man that makes the crop. There are farmers in this part of the state who have never met Prof. Hunt, but who have learned from experience the importance of proper tillage, and, who, having planted their seed right and kept their ground properly cultivated, are rewarded with abundant crops. I want to buy a second hand farm wagon and rent a stable for two horses, J. T. Reed, Alliance. 38-2W FOR SALE My residence, 715 Cheyenne Ave., strictly modern, fur nace and bath; easy terms. Dr. E.

As previously announced, thoy assembled at the church at 10 a.m. and for an hour and a half livo automobiles were kept busy carrying tho crowd to Atz' grove north of town, where a jolly time was had. It would bo an exaggeration to say that the trees of the grovo wcro as large as tho cele brated trees of California, but they wcro largo enough to furnish shade for the picnic dinner; and what wa9 lack ing in outing facilities was mado up by hearty good will, which after all is the thing most necessary to tho enjoyment of such an occasiou.

Fendrick of Hemingford, who was injured by being dragged under a mowing machine and has been cared for at the hospital for some time, was able to ieU.ru home Saturday. Geo. Darling, who has been an in mate of the hospital the past three weeks, has sufficiently recovered so he has gone to the eastern part of the state to visit friends, but it will proba bly be some time before he is again able to assume charge of his business at this place. Last evening was made pleasant by the assembling of convalescents and a few friends in the parlors of the hospital, where the ovening was spent with music and games. Light refresh ments were served by Matron Riley. Such events are doubly appreciated by those surrouuded much of the time by circumstances of a depressing nature.

Swimming. I have been to great expense to pro vide a suitable place for this recrea tion, and since it is established am en deavoring to keep it in first-class con dition. At least 2, 000 gallons of fresb water is forced into the tank each day, I am forcing it through a small heater to take off the chill. Of course I can not heat the entire tank. I hope for the patronage which the expense incurred warrants, 33tt L. A, Berry. Robert Hunter visited our sister (own on the north, Hemingford, Sua day,
