We wonder If all the farmers around O’Neill who sell cream know that they are getting much more out of their cream than they would If we were not here. Well, they are. We have meant higher prices besides opening a market for sweet cream at a high price. Are YOU doing YOUR part by patronizing the creamery that has done this for YOU? If not WHY? —McGinnis Creamery Company. 39-2 Children are much more likely to contract the contagious diseases when they have colds. Whooping cough, diphthera, scarlet fever and consump tion are diseases that are often con tracted when the child have a cold. That Is why all medical authorities say beware of oolds. For the quick cure of colds you will find nothing bet ter than Chamberlain’s Cough Rem edy. It can always be depended upon and Is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all dealers. The farmers In Holt county are re alizing more and more how muoh good we are doing for them. It has meant many, many dollars to them because of the higher prloes we have paid for cream which they would not have re ceived had we not been here. On ac count of this our list of patronB is growing right along. We have open ed a market for sweet cream too at a high price. Are YOU a patron? If not WHY?—McGinnis Creamery Company. 39-2 Omaha World Herald: "Gerald E.

O'Neill Defeats Atkinson. Frank O’Donnell, Rody Ryan and Laurence Chapman representing the O’Neill High School wrested a victory from the Atkinson High School here last Friday, assisted by the enthusias tic cheering of our home people and the lusty yells of the school pupils. This victory gives O'Neill the cham pionship of this district. The Atkinson team composed of William Humpel, Edwin Stratton and Darley Raymer were good in general argument, but were greatly Inferior to our boys in rebuttal. The placing of O’Neill on the cham pionship map is largely due to the study »and ability of our debators, coupled with the untiring energy and faithful work of Supt. Gorby in pre paring them. The judges were: W. E. Scott, At kinson, M. E. Crosier, Norfolk and E. H. Whelen, O’Neill. They selected Rody Ryan to represent our school at Lincoln in May. For Sale. To close the Porter Estate, the east 1 section 20-29-12 Holt county is offer ed for immediate sale, subject to a mortgage of $2,500, due October next and $4700 cash —Marshall Investment Oo., Des Moines, Iowa. 39-2 Hay Land in Nebraska. O’Neill, Nebr., March 21, 1912. Mr. Editor: I read with much in terest the letter of Mr. J. F. Shoe maker in the last issue of the Inde pendent. There were a great many things that Mr. Shoemaker might have said about the hay business gen erally that he ommitted to say. Iam of the impression that the people gen erally do not understand the profit there is to be derived from the hay business and the gold mine that the people of Holt county have right in their midst. As you know, I have been engaged almost exclusively in the hay busin ess for eleven years and during that time have bought and shipped 10,000 carloads of bay, and during all of that time, there has been a period of more than two years when hay has not been $10.00 per ton on the track at O’Neill. It has been my observation that no class of men engaged in any other line of agriculture or business have made the money and prospered as have the men on the hay farms. When you con sider that the only cost in (producing and marketing hay is as follows: Cost of mowing.40 Cost of raking.10 Cost of stacking.50 Cost of baling. 1.50 Hauling and putting In car on track.75 Makings total of approxi mately per ton. $3.25 1 have computed the above figures on a basis of $4.00 per day for a man and team. From these figures, it will readily be seen and understood where in the great profit is between hay growing and grain growing. To raise a crop of grain, the land must be broken, plowed and the seed must be sown, and harrowed and the grain harvested. If planted to corn, it must be plowed and harrowed and planted and cultivated and then the corn must be harvested. The man grow ing corn takes his chances with the elements. He may lose his crop by drought, excessive rains, or hail. But the hay crop never fails. It is never damaged by hail and is never a failure by drought. Ths hay lands over the country gen erally are diminishing very rapidly The land is being plowed up and us ed for other purposes and the cost of the prairie hay is going to gradually increase in my judgment from this time on. I might say further that it has been my observation that there is no class of land that is so eagerly sought to be rented or brings a larger ‘income that dees hay - land. ■MWMWMiHi nunnH^HRi H ' Weather Man Sort of queered that paint ad of ours, but people intending to brighten things up in the spring have been laying in supplies, taking advantage of the rare opportunity to secure the best ready mixed paints at actual cost.

O’NEILL - NEBRASKA The hay grown in the Elkhorn Val ley and in this section of the country is some of the choicest hay that is put on the market and commands the best prices, and the demand for this hay is increasing every year. We are shipping hay from O'Neill to the fol lowing states: Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nortn Dakota, Wiscon sin, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois. Iowa, and Missouri. Today hay is now worth on the track aj O’Neill *16.00 per ton. I do not pretend to be a prophet, but if I were to make a pre diction, It would be that in the very near future Holt couniy natural hay land will be btinging from *100 to *125 p i-acre. J ust a few miles east of us, lands that are used exclusively for hay purposes and that do not cut any more hay than do the lands in Holt county, are bringing this tigure now. What Mr. Shoemaker has accom plished by many others and this line of Industry has not been developed nor have the natural hay lands been appreciated as they should be, for this industry is here to stay and is, in my judgment, one of the industries that is going to put more money in the banks and increase the value of the assessor’s roll in Holt county than any other. Yours truly, J. B. By an. I
