Astigmatism is '
not a disease
Because astigmatism often causes dis
. comfort, and aching in the eyes, some 1
folks think it is a disease. This is . ,,
a mistake.
Astigmatism is an uneven surface of the , . 'il :,
cornea, the front part of the eye. This '
causes part of the light rays to focus
on the retina, while others do not. It is ' .
a mechanical trouble which medicine can 't ", !:
not help, but which properly fitted glasses ;" ?t '
end. ' .; .,' L
Clinton's optometrist is expert in fitting , , -
glasses to Correct astigmatism.

Held at the aalr grounds saw Jack
Carter, of Cheyenne, ride tho Cns
mulo last Friday afternoon. Not loss
than 3,000 pcoplo wero present, and
2,999 woro disappointed; for tho mulo
failed to maintain his roputatlon. Com
pared -with his performances one and
two years ago lie was as docile as a
kitten, nnd while ho crow-footed and
pitched to somo oxtont, ho uttorly
failed in his usual contortions In tho
way of standing on his head and giving
his sldowisc lunges and pitchos.
Whether It was becauso of the manner
in which ho was saddled, or that ho
had been shod that resulted in his
meekness, or whether ho had conclud
ed that ho had done his "bit" in tho
past for tho amusement of the public,
is knowledge possessed only by tho
nr .o if there is any' such knowledge.
Not. only did tho mulo lose Caso $500,
but by his performance Friday ho
slulTcd his value as a "buckcr;" ho
fell in price rrom $1,000 as n wild wost
entertainer to a plug work mulo worth
about $150. Personally, tho mule lost
a great roputatlon, for ho had nover
before been ridden; ho had unseated
riders good riders from a half dozen I
states, and by reason of this ho waBt
Known irom ivay see, wyo., to uittor
Creek, Texas.
Carter, howevor, Is a good rider, and
it is possible that he might havo stuck
otn though tho mulo had porYormod
In his 'customary manner. As it was
ho rodo the animal to a standstill and
won his money fairly.
Tho mule riding was preceded by
several other riding ovents, in which
one of tho riders was thrown.
The gato receipts wero divided fifty

Can Hard Coal ho Secured!
Four or five hundred families in
North Platto who for years past havo
heated their houses with Pennsylvania
hard coal, nro-anxlous to know wheth
er that coal can bo obtained for next

many will excavate basements and put
In heating plants. Inquiry made by
M. H. Douglas has developed tho fact
that tho annua consumption of Penn
sylvania anthracite In North Platto
for several seasons past has been
twelve hundred tons and Mio average
-ost has been $14.50.
A letter will be addressed this week
to Fuel Administrator .Kennedy at
Omaha, asking for information as to
tho possibility of getting Pennsylvania
hard coal for next winter. This mat
tor Is takon up early, so that if a
supply cannot bo had it will givo

I havo told you that Dodge Brothers Cars would bo
very scarce by spring and you might be compelled to wait
a long-time for delivery. On Jan.v 15th, in the dead tpf
winter nnd in the midst of very bad" weather conditions,
the factory ajrs 0,000 cars behind its orders, and produc
ing more light grade"cars than any.other maker. I surely
believe all good cars will be very short this year from ,
April 1st on, because of shortage of production and tho
absolute necessity of tho time and labor saving motor car.
Tho demand will bo larger than ever, the supply is cur
tailed from 25 to 50 per cent. ,
I strongly advise an immediate order for a. Dodge,
Chandler or Cadillac if you want or need one this spring.
