-RACES
ALL-DAY CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD WITH OAM1VFIRE
EXPERT
Tho Garden County News published
at Oshkosh, tho home of Kins Rhi'ey
gives tho following In part concern
ing the Fourth of July races to be held
at North Platto this yaar:
King R. Rhlloy went to North Platte
lost Saturday evening and returned
home Monday morning White there
nil matters relative to the auto races
for tho Fourth of July woro irrangcd
and there is no question now about the
attraction of the big event. One thing
"will bo a noticeable change at the
racing grounds at North Platto this
year, 1. e., tho track Is now a registered
"Three A" course and there will bo
no amaturo racing and there w.111 bo
all now faces In the cars that compete
with King for honors for they must all
bo registered professionals. King wilj
uso tho samo iuako of car as ho has
heretofore driven of course remodel
ed and tho designs changed somewhat
to meet his requirements. This year,
as In tho past, King will win the race
and will have it won before there is a
preliminary pulled, for ho will have
his car ready to go. But the other
fellows will probably mako him put
on more speed than he has ovor found
it necessary to uso and tho race will
have plenty of thrills to meet tho
ideas of the most exacting.
As Uio track Is now a professional
Taclng course rio prior track records
will count and time races will be made
to set a speed guage for the races that
follow, to compete with. These rec
ords will all be made for tho benefit of
tho people who attend on the day of
tho meet.
It has been practically settled ac
cording to Rhlloy's suggestion that
some of the towns up the valley be as
signed certain sections of the grand
stand so that those wanting to attend
will not have to take cliances on get
ting seats this year. It was estimated
by Uio committee in charge that at
Miss Louise Guy of Omaha will bo
In North Platto all day Friday and
will moot during tho day with local
camptlro officials and guardians in
conferonco on tho methods and prob
lems of camp flro work. In tho even
ing an open meeting will bo held at
tho Lutheran Churcjh basomont oi
which Mlsa Guy will speak and tho
beautiful ceremonial of tho camp fire
girls will be put on by one of tho
local groups. Other groups will also
take part In the program. Miss Guy
is executive secretary of tho Omaha
Campfiro and Is an expert In this
work. Tho mfcctlng is open to every
body with no admission and no col
lection. least 20,000 people will attend tho
.ovent this year, while 15,000 is the
record in prior years.
King mado tho American Legion or
ganization of North Platte, which has
always been strong for him, an offer
or $100 donation for their new hall if
ho wins the race. There Isn't any
doubts in our minds of any of five
hundred members of that city that
thoy won't get tho money and if tho
farmers could bo just as sure of a
crop as we aro that this promised do
nation will bo made, they could sure
look with bright faces Into tho busi
ness for tho coming tall. King says
himself that he will win tho race and
ho never went back on a promise In
his Hfo. Of course ho will win.

Use Ice Now and Save Food
People who wait until warm weather to take ice lose
much more than they save. Ice costs but little andjin the
early spring, in a well iced refrigerator it melts slowly.
Spring Weather is Changeable.
The thermometer often rises 20 to 30 degrees in a
single day. That is bad for perishable food. Any temper
ature over 50 degrees spoils it rapidly, especiallymilk.
Stale milk is unwholesome long before it tastes bad.
In a well iced refrigerator your food is not only
kept evenly cold, it is protected from dust and bacteria in
the air.
We are covering the routes regularly and can give
you satisfaction with
Pure Clean Artificial Ice.
We have reduced the price and guarantee you Pure
Ice, Honest Weight, Good Service.
If our service pleases you tell your friends, if it does
not tell us.

tho lots on the south sido of tho
road.
