Follow This Rule In
Getting Boys’ Clothes
ym ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Look for the makers’ label and see if
it bears the mark “XTRAPP°D”.
That name means best clothes just1
as sure as two and two make four.
XTRAGOOD clothes have never failed
to give twice the
wear, twice the sat
isfaction, twice the
value of any!other,
kind.
Why ? | Because
there’s double the
care taken to make
them perfect. Cloth,

all are combined to
a degree that makes
XTRAGOOD clothes

Do you know that an editor or a re
porter for a newspaper can in his
rounds stop and ask a hundred persons
“What is the news?” And ninety out
of the hundred will reply, “Nothing
special, and yet fifty out of that hun
dred know something that if not
found in the next paper will astonish

mouths in an endeavor to repair his
delapidatcd political fences and at
tempting to explain hl9 position upon

Fred Cronk, one of the most pros
perous and progressive farmers of
Verdigris township and an old-time
reader of this household necessity,
was a pleasant caller at these head
quarters last Saturday renewing his
subscription to tills disseminator of
current events. Mr. Cronk says things
are booming In his section and that
several farms in his neighborhood
have recently changed hands at
$10,000 a quarter. It is not very many
years ago that a man could have
bought a whole township for that
money.
What do you think of this? We
have before us an announcement from
the Grand Island Business and Nor
mal College ofGrand Island Nebraska,
stating that live hnndred young men
and women will be admitted in the
College next term and given a full
course without the payment of any
fees until they have time to graduate,
then they will be given a position and
allowed to pay in monthly install
ments. This school has a reputation
extending over many states and we
advise all who are interested to send
for circulars.
a miner—not a millionaire—iein at
liis death a number of children and a
certain sum to be divided amoung
them as follows: The eldest to re
ceive $100 and one-tenth of the re
mainder; the second child $200 and
one-tenth of what then remained; and
so on, each child to receive $100 more
than the one immediately preceeding,
and then one-tenth part of that which
still remained. When the division
took place, it was found that all the
children received the same amount.
How many children were there, and
what sum did each receive?
Clark Young, one of the pioneers of
the Minola country, was a caller Tues
day extending his subscription. Mr. (
Young says that his S' ction is rapidly
tilling up with settlers and the coun
try is beginning to look like it did in
the latter eighties, when It had a
large population. Most of the people
moving into the country to purchase a
half section or more and the country
promises to be one of the garden spotB j
of the county in a few years. Mr. ,

F. E. Beeman of Kearney, republi- '
can candidate for the congressional !
nomination in this district, was in '
the city Monday in the interest of his 1
candidacy. Mr. Beeman says that he 1
is meeting with flattering encourage- \
ment throughout the district and be
lieves he will be able to capture the
nomination then the election. Mr. i
Beeman is one of the able lawyers of i
the district and was a candidate for i
the nomination eight years ago and '
it was the throwing of his delegation i
of twenty-one votes to Kinkaid that i
made hit nomination possible. He
thinks the latter has held the office
long enough and that It is about time
foi the honor to be passed around.
Should Mr. Beeman secure the nomi
nation and election he would be an
able representative of the people of
the Big Sixth.
