MARK CARRAHER, Auct. Central City, Neb. M. A. LARSON, Owner Central City, Nebraska HIS WANTS EASILY SUPPLIED Eskimos Have No Hankering After Things Which Other Peoples Look Upon as Necessaries Without tea, coffee, sugar or to bacco, nnd with but few vegetables, the Eskimo of Greenland finds life pleas ant and thinks his homeland one of the most desirable in tho world. The few who have visited Denmark think the Danes are to bo pitied, says Roger Pocock, In tho Wide World Magazine. The Eskimo's needs are few, nnd these his arctic home supply In abundance. In filling these the Greenland seal Is the most Important factor. Its Inter nal organs are almost Identical with those of a sheep, and its meat is a fat, streaky mutton. The skin makes hairy breeches for men, women and chil dren, and with the linlr removed and properly oiled, makes soft-soled, wa terproof footgear. From It also Is mnde the hunter's shirt, the summer tent, the womun's boat, the hunter's canoe and the harness for tho dog team. Winter clothes are made from the fur of the fox, dog nnd bear. Drift wood, always plentiful on these rocky shores, furnishes roof beams, tent poles, canoo frames, harpoons for seal ing, and lance shafts for hunting wal rus, bear and reindeer. Lamps nre made from hollowed rocks and knives from sharp stones. Other things nre considered luxuries. b A PAID CJ7 0 RUBBERS. By GEORGE ELMER COBB. &osGccecsosacccccocccosoc (Copyright. 1920, Western f4cwpaper Union.) Irrationally Jealous, piqued, angry nt pretty Innocent Doris Blake, mnd nt himself nnd feeling resentful toward the world nt large, Cyril Vnnco lifted his lmt resentfully us ho passed tho home of Miss Ophelia Blinn. It was also the home of that lady's udoptcd niece, Doris, nnd there the cankering anxiety rested. She and Vance had been something more than menus lur over n yenr, uc nuu ueuu . pretty exclusively In her company, and he had llrod up very forcibly when a ( close friend remarked to him : "I see that Rutgers fellow has broken luto tho good graces of tho j Makes." I 'That Rutgers follow" was a dash ing young man who had come to tho town a week previous.' He was look-. lng for a fnctory site, he gave It out, l and had plenty of money, good clothes. "All Hash and glitter," was the way Vance set him down, and the next day when Rutgers dashed by In nn auto mobile In company with Miss Ophelia and her pretty niece, there could bo but ono construction to the present ment. 1 Doris was, of course, the attraction, for Miss Blake was a confirmed eld mnid. Vtinco paid no attention to a casual suggestion he overheard that us , Miss Blake owned considerable prop-' erty about town the alleged factory representative might bo negotiating with her for building site. ; And now, as Vancu observed tho lady in question seated on the porch with Rutgers and her niece, he paid no attention to a pleading, Inviting ex presslon upon the face of Doris. j "I'll drop her If she Is encouraging that braggart fop !" soliloquized Vance hotly, but at dusk tho ensuing eve ning strolled past the Bluko home, se cretly hoping thn't Doris would ap pear. Victor, his faithful dog, ran up on the porch as If reminding the young man of his many past visits, but Vnnco kept on. Beside tho door was a pair of rubbers, man's size, and within the lighted room Vance caught sight of his fancied rival. He whistled to tho dog and strode on, never noticing that the animal car ried something between fils teeth until J hey came under a lamp post. "Here, what have you got?" chal lenged .Vance, and as Victor laid a rubbetrnt his feet Vance picked It up. At once he comprehended that It was one of those he hud noticed on the Blake porch. As he turned it over he observed casually a deep brownish stain where tho Instep curved. He wus debating If he should repass the house and restore the rubber to its companion when he was conscious that a keen-eyed man wus at his side Inter estedly regarding the filched rubber. "Yours?" ho Insinuated. "No," retorted Vance curtly. "My dog took It from u porch down the street." "Where which porch?" pursued the stranger. "Second house back, Why do you ask?" demanded Vance suspiciously. The man mumbled something about being nn Inquisitive sort of n fellow and as Vnnco turned nround nnd re traced his steps Hung the rubber over the fence of the Bluko homo. The stranger watched Vnnco closely and then disappeared In the darkness. Later, through a cautious detour, ho reached the Blake, home, glided up to the porch nnd carried nwuy both rub bers and chuckled In a pleased though sinister way. The town had been greatly stirred up two days previous by the announce ment that the great tannery at the edge of tho town had been visited tho night previous, Its olllce broken Into nnd n small fortune In cash and Lib arty bonds secured from Its safe. Of ficers from the county sent hud been sent for nnu Vance, thinking Inter of the Inquisitive stranger, wondered If he was not some detective attempting to ferret out the perpetrators of the burglary. It was the next morning that Vnnco came face to face with Doris turning n corner. Ho flushed with some em barrassment and she paled as chough under a strain of some fervid emotion. "You have not been to the house lately, Cyril," she spo!:e In n subdued half reproachful tono. "You seem to hnvo plenty of com puny," retorted Vnnco nnd then was nshnmed of himself, for the quick tears came Into those gentle eyes. "Yen menu this Bryce Rutgers," said Doris. "It Is of him I have wished to speuk to you all nlong. Oh, Cyril, ho bus mnde nn Impression on Aunt Ophelln nnd I am nearly dlstrncted. I know he Is nfter the property nnd thnt he Is not the kind of a mnn who means what he says. Can you not do some thing to save poor sentimental Auut Ophelia?" At that moment tho mysterious mnn of tho evening previous camo into sight. He looked Invitingly nt Vance nnd then beckoned to htm, "Those rubbers belonged to that Rutgers fellow," ho snld. "1 owe n successful enso to you. The mlnuto I snw the red marks of the hemlock pit at tho tannery I know tho fellow whs the mnn I was after. I nabbed him and most of tho plunder. I have sent him to tho county seat In, handcuffs." Aunt Ophelia took tlte dissipation of her fond single-life romance rnftier ' hard, but only for n time. Then she ' settled down to making the reunited lovers happy. APOLOGIES TO BR'ER RABBIT Field Mouse, Not Bunny, Is Anathema tized Glrdlcr of Trees, Accordlnfl to Eastern Expert. An ofllclnl of the state fish nntrgnmo comnilsslon Informs us thnt wo nre un just to the rnhblt In ascribing to him nil the girdling of fruit trees which' has been going on in these parts lately. Our Informant says, observes a writer In tho Ohio State Journal, thnt the field mouse is responsible for more than CO per cent of this damage nnd we hasten to tender our sincere apologies to tho rnhblt, whose feelings we would not hurt for tho world, and ure quick to glvo the guilty field mouse his Just share of censure. Field mice, it seems Imvc the Inde fenslblo habit of burrowing among the roots of small fruit trees In the fall, hollowing out n wnrm place, us field mice estimate warmth, nnd spending tho winter there. When they get hun gry and nothing else Is available, they shin up n little way nnd cat the ark of the tree cunningly making tooth marks almost exnetly like rabbits' und thus throwing editors .and other ex perts off tho scent. Tho rabbits are not whollj without sin, but n 40 per cent sinner averages up fairly well with the rest of us. Moreover, tho rabbit may easily bo foiled In his Inpses from gruce by placing a piece of tar paper about two feet in bolghf, or a piece of wh o netting around the base of each young fruit tree. Perhaps this expedient, like other prohibitory meas ures, does not build character In the rabbit, but It does in the orchurdist. Nothing, we understand, can be done nbout the Held mice unless one stays at the foot of the tree nnd -catches them. They are lost In sin. Time's Chancs In Dlsbee. Blsbee, Ariz., where Is now heard tho honk of the modern automobile, the tick of wrist watches and the wall of silk hose of all- colors extending over the tops of $10 shoes, was entire ly different 10; yenrs ago. reminisce a writer in the Review of Blsbee. Then the hard-working miner had to fstrug gle for hours to get a. seat at u poker table or a "look In" at a faro game. Main street wus once one of the live liest thoroughfares In the western hemisphere, saloons, gilded nnd other wise, having been the honored business enterprises which lined both sides of the street. If nnybody had predicted that a street railway would at some future time run through tho center of Main street, or that it would sorao day become as dry nnd arid us tho Sahara and Gobi deserts, ho would Im modlntoly have been taken before a lunncy cominlsslon., Furze. Cnn you conceive any covering fit ter for tho hills of the sun Itself than this mngnluconU furze, as It appears In Euglnnd, robing tho heaths nnd commons nil over tho country? It Is n golden undulation, n foreground, and from some points of view n mid dle distance, fit to make tho richest painter despair, a veritable field of cloth of gold. Morning, vhen tho dawn Is of n fineness to match, must look beauty for benuty on It. Sun set Is glory. The gold goes mnrch Ing nwny In the distance toward tho dnrk trees; like the rich evening of a poetic life. No wonder Llnnneurt, when ho came to England and first beheld this shrub In bloom, fell on his knees nnd thanked God. Leigh Hunt. Immigrants' Literary Test.

GERMS ON POSTAGE STAMPS Physicians Have Found Microbes of Disease on Almost Every Speci men They Examined. Drs. J. Diner and G. Ilorstman bought postage stamps at 50 different places und tested them for the ml crobos of disease. They report t the Medical Times thnt every stamp was infected, and it appenred to make no difference whether they were from a drawer or cash register or exposed on a desk. Among the germs they found were such deadly ones as colon bacilli, staphylococci, streptococci, pneumo coccl and diphtherln bacilli. The edi tor of American Medicine comments that If postage stamps were ns give a source of Infection ns these facts might seem to Indicate, a very large part of the population would bo suffer ing from Infection, ns almost every body Is In the hublt of licking stumps. The fact Is that an examination of the mouths, noses and throats of almost all of us will reavcal the presence of some or all of these germs at any time. However, licking postage stumps Is a dirty habit and ono that Is quite easy to acquire. 71 II STSt y U U il H CMOWU JTINDAIIP Oil COM MUTT OHML E E C 3 a ajgLB ra q n JRwqys the Same Clean-burning, hard-hitting, power full Red Crown Gasoline is always the same uniformly good from the first drop to the last.
