ord Attendance
The Nebraska State Sunday School
association met In three days conven
tion at Broken Bow Tuesday of last
week, It being the forty-eighth annu
al event of this kind.
Sixty-one counties were represent
ed, and the enrollment was the larg
est in history, there being 1.646 In
attendance. At 1:30 Tuesday after
noon a parade formed on the main
street ami marched to the park. The
parade consisted of beautifully dec
orated Moats, little girls on foot,
dressed in convention Colors, and the
boys mounted on Shetland ponies, to
gether with the delegations from the
different towns. It was estimated
that 1,000 people participated in the
parade.
The program was an exceptionally
pleasing one, and It included a gorg
eous pageant entitled, "Two Thous
and Miles for a Book".
The production depicts the In
dian's interest in the Great Father
whom the white man worshipped,
and how the tribe was promised a
Bible. This promise was not fulfill
ed for twenty years, when one of the
braves is delegated to go to General
Clark's barracks at St. Louis and
procure the book.
The convention was a decided suc
cess, and Broken Bow proved herself
"some" convention city.

Urle acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The
urine become cloudy ; the bladder is irri
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re

When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous want
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid

in a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
eomhined with lithia, and has been used
for gum ration to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in-

they sell lou of Jad Salu to folks who

Auto Thieves In Town
Wednesday night of last week the
large Cadillac automobile belonging
to Geo. A. Mollrlng was taken from
the garage at his home and driven to
a point about a mile east of town,
where the thief came to grief. It
appears that he was unfamiliar with
the operation of the car and got his
gears mixed. After taking out all
the tools and not being able to find
the trouble, he abandoned the car,
nhere it was found Thursday morn
i n g.
After midnight someone, perhaps
the same miscreant, entered the barn
at the VV. H. Swan home on Laramie
avenue and attempted to drive out a
large seven-passenger Allen car, be
longing to (Jeo. IUck of Rushville,
who with his family was visiting at
the home. In starting the car out
lie struck the side of the door. The
yi holine supply had been turned off
and after the supply In the carbure
tor had been exhausted he was una
ble to nnd the cutoff and left the car
standing In the doorway.

Chapter I
"Sure, I Promise"
The genial Mr. Bates can be pushed
just so far. He was slightly exasperated.
As a matter of fact he rather likes to
talk to traveling men, but it seemed a
bit rough, on Saturday morning with
deliveries way behind, for a perfect"
stranger to try to sell him a
"Say, what do you think this is, a
bank?" he asked testily.
"No, it's a grocery store and a
mighty busy one. That's why I am try
ing to convince you that you need our
service. Now take that package of tea
have you ever tried to figure whether
you make or lose money on it, figuring
in overhead, your salary, etc?"
"No use, young man; you're just
wasting your wind. I'm too busy selling
goods to bother with all that theoretical
stufT."
"All right, Mr. Bates, I see you're not
ready to talk with me ; but promise me
this: that the first time anything in the
way of costs, collections, profits or in
ventory puzzles you, you will give me
another chance."
"Sure, sure, I promise; anything to
get you out of here."

no use, Tve either got to get a new
bookkeeper or a new line of business.
Sales are O.K. better than last year
but where in Sam Hill are the profits?
It ain't reasonable that I could do the
grocery business of the town and be in
the hole. I wonder, can the trade on tea
and coffee be falling off. Maybe we
ought to push the profitable lines more
providing there are any profitable lines.
Perhaps it's costing me more to do busi
ness on account of the war or the tariff.

business. "Well, anyway, it's

TJie Telephone Call
When Mr. Bates got down to the store
next morning, his stern resolve to put
a, little ginger into his bookkeeper was
defeated by the fact that the latter wa3
reported sick in bed. However, bills
were coming due and the Bank hadn't
been any too willing on the last loan,
so something had to be done. He re
called his promise to the strange sales
man who had entertained the "prepos
terous" idea of selling him a

Chapter IV
Facts, Not Guess-Work U
Mr. Bates is seen studying a report
prepared by his bookkeeper with the
aid of hi3 new Burroughs. He calls for
his head clerk.
"Say, Bill, you got to put more
thought on our fresh fruit trade we lost
exactly $21 on fruit last month. And
see it you can t dope up some way to get
more trade on specialty
crackers that's one of our
most profitable lines. That's
all now. Tell Pete I want to
see him."
"Pete you are slowing up.
Last month you sold $123
less than Sam. Moreover,
Sam sold stuff we make a
cood profit on. while iud?-
ing from profits on your sales you
must have the idea we only handle
sugar and kerosene. I didn't make a
cent on you. Brace up, Pete, remember
ajob'sajob. That's all."
There are over 90,000 merchants using
Burroughs Figuring Machines right now.
Every retail merchant can use a Burroughs
to stop leaks and make more profits just as
Bates did.
Write for store leak stopping informa
tion. Business bulletins are sent free to
retail merchants. Please write on your
