years in a futile attempt to renew his

Ponce and his pals wasted barrels of
doubloons and endless pieces-of-eight,

four bucks per member, and this sum
entitles him to bring his lady to eight
entertainments. Satisfaction is guar
anteed or money refunded, the com

A CAT IN A BA'G
This phrase originated from an
trick sometimes played by farmers
on unsuspecting people. The coun
tryman would come to town with
what was inferred to be young
pig in a bag. This he would offer
for sale, and the unwary buyer
would sometimes buy without look
ing inside.
The mail order catalog, though
not an attempt to trick the buyer,
occasionally does so chiefly be
cause the buyer fails to properly
inform himself a to the exact na
ture of the goods. When they
come, thev may be entirely as rep
resented but not as expected, and
disappointment naturally follows.
Your local dealer places mer
chandise before you, lets you see
it and handle it. Ycu see what you
are buying. Isn't that the safest
way to buy? It's only one reason
why you should

town that suports you.

CHURCH OF CHRIST.
Ijist week many took advantage of
the opportunity to hear Evangelist C
W. Cooper. His sermons are simple,
logical and scriptural. Great audiences
were present Sunday at both service-.
These meetings are just beginning and
they are getting better each evening.
After working in Alliance and know
ing so many of the good people of
this community, having given nearly
five years to this present pastorate,
the minirter finds it a great pleasure
to invite the public to heur sucn a man
as Evangelist C. W. Cooper.
The subjects for each evening are as
follows, beginning with tonight:
Tuesday "The Four C s."
Wednesday "Can I live a Christian
Out of the Church 7"
Thursday "Faith How to Get It?"
Friday "Repentance What Is It?'
Saturday "Confession Is it of any
value?" :
Sunday morning--"Communion.
Sunday evening "What is Your
Excuse lor Not Being a Christian?"
Other subjects will be announced in
the future. Keep these for reference.
The Junior Orchestra of eleven
pieces plays nearly every night.

BAPTIST CHURCH
The Sunday school went up ten more
last Sunday. There is a perceptable
determination on the part of the teach-H
ers to make the- school a live one.
The pastor has never had more en
thusiastic teachers, and the young
people's foc.ety is gradually taking
on real life. This department of the
work is being watched with much in
terest by the pastor. A section of our
gospel team will hold services at the
twelve-mile school south west of town,
the speakers will be Harold Clark and
Evert Johnson. All who can attend
might go there and thus encourage
them along.
At the Angora meeting Friday there
were eight that stood up for Christ
and enlisted his service. More are ex
pected to soon do likewise. Sunday
evening we received two more into the
church, making six for the month and
sixty-eight for the three quarters of
the pastoral year. They were Mr. and
Mrs. Cecil J. Johnson. We are glad to
see young life coming Into our church.
The pastor decided to stay another
year and is planning his work accord
ingly. The evening crowd was thes
largest we have had since last fcpring,
and we believe this to be a prophecy
of a great work this winter.

Keep the Children's
Feet Dry
One of the most impor
tant factors in keeping
children healthy lies in as
suring yourselves that their
footwear is in condition to
keep their feet dry.
Don't take chances with
your children's health.
Health lost is too hard to
regain ; especially when
shoe repairs cost so little.
Our shoe repairing serv
ice is another way of saying
Shoe Satisfaction." If you
are not satisfied we do our
best to make you so. '

Misfit Lumlber
Costs Infinitely More
All along the Atlantic Coast there are
summer resorts with miles and miles of
boardwalk, trodden by" millions of feet and
drenched with surf and sea fog.
Some of these broadwalks have been in
service for 25 years, and are still sound
and whole. The right wood in its proper
place.
Others have been replaced every few
years. The wrong wood for the purpose;
or the right wood wrongly specified.
A good example of the need for an ex
pert lumber service. -
America uses more wood per capita
than any other country in the world.
As in the past, so in the future, much
of the development of the Dox Butte coun--ty
depends on its lumber supply.
The typical citizen is accustomed to
lumber. He naturally takes it for granted
he knows all about it.
It will pay him, both in his private in
terests and as a taxpayer to check over
what he really does know about choosing
the most practical wood for a specific serv
ice! It is something of a shock to the man
Mho thinks of lumber vaguely in terms of
"a nice clear board" to come face to face
with Questions about the specific quality of
the various kinds of wood.
Which is best for strength? Which
for exposure to weather? Which for in
terior trim?
Far-reaching questions make no mis
take about that 1
Detailed, scientific knowledge of the
species of lumber, their characteristics and
availabilities, means durable and economi
cal building today.
Buy the Right Lumber
for a certain use
It will cost you less in the long run.
The necessary knowledge can be had by
any lumber purchaser who wants to make
use of it.
As substantial factors in the lumber
business of Box Butte county, we want to
put at your service the results of our ex
perience and investigations covering many
years.
When you buy lumber for any purpose,
no matter how much or how little you can
be sure that you are receiving the wood
best suited to your needs.
'Fowler Lumber Go.
