A. N. DURB1N AUTO CO.
KILLED IN AN AUTO
ACCIDENT FJUDAl NIGHT
Max Wickorsham, residing north tot
wood River, was killed oarly Satur
day morning when tho Ford car ho
was driving overturned on tho road
leading south to tho stato farm. In
company with a man named Hondor
chott, Wlchorsham had been in Douol
county looking ud a location. Thov
reaencu tins city onrouto homo Fri
day night, and Hindorchott suggested
that thoy rmaln hero until tho follow
ing day. Wickorsham was anxious to
got homo, howover, and as Uio night
wob one of bright moonlight, conclud
ed to contlnuo tho Journoy. Reaching a
point about 200 yards north of tho
Fromont slough tho car struck a bad
holo in tho road, quickly voored to
one sido and plunged down tho em
bankment, overturning and pinning"
both men bonoath. Wickorsham lay
with Uio side edgo of tho car Testing
across his neck, and died before alii
could bo summoned. Hindorclyott could
not extricate himself but was able to
call for help and his crios wore finally
uearu ny tno ramiiy residing In the
houso near-by. Thoy rosponded, the
car mica so liinucrchott could bo ox
tricatcd and tho lifeless body of Wick
orsnam then released. Word was sent
to town and a physician summoned,
but Wickorsham was past aid. Hen
dcrchott was badly bruised but not
sonously injurod.
j. no uouy or WlcKaranam woa
brought to tho Malonoy morcuo. Dro
pared for burial and sent to Wood
River Saturday night. Tho deceased
was twenty-threo years of ago and
icavos a wlfo and threo children.
Hit Hard. Say tho Bakers
Tho covornment dictum that wheat
Shan boU for $ 2.20 in Omaha, and that
a fourteon ounco loaf of bread shall
sell at live cents, has cast a gloom
over DaKors m North Platto as well
as in other Nebraska towns. Horn In
North Platto a slxteon-ounco loaf of
Dread has been selling for several
months past at fifteen cents, or but a
fraction loss than a cent an. ounce.
Under tills dictum of alio government
thoy will receive but a fraction moro
than one-third of a cent an ounce. It
is very apparent that tho bakers liavo
neon hard hit; in fact unless they hav0
been making an onormoiuus profit on
the fifteen and twenty cont loaves,
they cannot afford to stay In business.
With wheat at $2.20, flour will sell
for $11.00. It Is figured that tho in
gredients consumd in working up a
barrel of flour into bread is $2.12,
which added to tho cost of thn flmir
makes $13.12. This barrel of flour
moices d25 fourteen ounco loaves and
at five cents each hrlnca 1R!k
for tho iproduct of a barol of flour
and a profit of $3.13. To tills must be
added labor, fuel, rent, light and other
overhead charges.
It therefore looks as thoutrh Uio
baker may cease to bake and the good
housewife will bo tho one upon whom
we must depend for our daily bread.
A Traitor at Big Spring.
Last Friday a largo flag was givon

notified and a reward will bo offered
for tho detection of the traitor. Tho
whole community is aroused and if
tho guilty one 13 discovered an ox-

HEN applied to Hardware, "Sundries" is a
comprehensive term.
A thousand and one items come under this
had and each one is highly important when
you need it.
That is why we are such a convenience to you.
You don't have to wait. Come right in and
we can fill your requirements for anything in
the hardware line, in almost any amount. '

It is monotony, not bullets that our soldier boys dread.
At the front, they will uphold bravely the traditions that are
dear to every loyal American heart. But in the training
camps and during the months of forced inaction, there are
going to be some tedious, home-sick days days the Kodak
can make more cheerful.
There's room for a little Vest Pocket Kodak in every
soldier's and sailor's kit. The expense is small, six dollars.

A Sermon On Lumber
In conclusion my friends, wo can't get away from
this lumber question. Why, every one of us
spent our first days in a cradle made of lumber.
Our lives have been lived between walls of two
by fours and lath, with rafters over our heads,
and matched flooring beneath our feet. We have
been sitting in wooden chairs, eating from wooden
tables, riding in wooden wagons, and in the course
of time will be laid to rest in wooden caskets.
