Earl D. Mallery of Alliance, has de

votes. W. C. May of Gothenberg is
the other delegate.

The clothing manufacturers are to

the excuse that on account of the war
it is impossible to procure dyes and

The state of Washington is talking
of sending Bryan as delegate^ to the
national convention as a SILENT re
buke to the Nebraska Democracy.
It can’t be done. He “aint no sich
animal.” The next thing we hear
Henry Ford will be selecting Roose
velt as chairman of his permanent
peace commission.

Hon. James Douglas of Bassett,
former member of the legislature from
the Fifty-fourth district and promi
nent in legal circles in this section of
the state, has become a resident of
Omaha. Mr. Douglas has purchased a
residence in Dundee, the piety suburb
of the metropolis. He will engage in
the practice of law at Omaha.

On the settlement of tie votes cast
at the recent primaries in Holt county
D. H. Cronin .republican nominee for
representative drew the socialist
nomination for the same position. B.
Mossman, republican nominee for
county assessor, •fc'as awarded the pro
hibition nomination for assessor, and
B. T. Winchell, democratic nominee,
captured the socialist nomination.
-o
Unofficial returns from Douglas
county apparently hand the plum to
Chairman Henry Clarke of the state
railway commission as republican
nominee to succeed himself. Ex
Senator Charles Randall of Newman
Grove was in the lead until an error
in the unofficial returns of the city of
Omaha was discovered in the official
count. This gives Mr. Clarke a lead
over all of about six hundred.

W. J. Bryan has succeeded in land
ing as a delegate to the national demo
cratic convention, or rather as an
alternate. Kind friends to the extent
of eighteen wrote his name in on the
ballot as alternate. In mixing the dope
on delegates-at-large it is apparent
that the strategists on both sides
overlooked something. Now it is up
to Billy Thompson of Grand Island to
step aside and let Mr .Bryan do the
officiating and “orating.” However,
Mr. Thompson is accustomed to be
ing a water carrier.

Whooping Cough.
“When my daughter had whooping
cough she coughed so hard at one
time that she had hemorraage of the
lungs. I was terribly alarmed
about her condition. Seeing Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy so highly
recommended, I got her a bottle and
it relieved the cough at once. Be
fore she had finished two bottles of
this remedy she was entirely well.”

Geo. Reeve Dies On Homestead.
Inman Leader: Ernest Archer, a
nephew of Geo. Reeve, was in Inman
last week on his way home to Te
kamah, Neb., from Rozet, Wyoming,
where he had been to attend the
funeral of Geo. Reeve, who died on a
homestead near Rozet about a week
ago. Mr. Reeve was a resident of In
man about four years ago. While
here he roomed in the second story ol
the Clark building (now occupied by
the Goree store) and getting up in the
night he fell through an opening ir
the floor, sustaining injuries thal
rendered him a cripple for life. For £
number of years he was under a guar

at O’Neill. About a year ago he was

Wants to See You
When you want to buy a shirt come
to me. If you want a fifteen buy a
fifteen, it will fit. My shirts are good
stuff and full measure and the price is
right. You may buy shirts cheaper
but they are only collars with sleeves
on. When I sell you a shirt 1 give
you a shirt—not a collar.
If I take a notion and move this
store to some other town there is
going to be a lot of yon people kicking
yourselves for not taking advantage
of a good thing when you had it.
You were all hollering for a good
Cash dry goods and grocery store and
now you got it. If I wasn’t cutting
the stuffing out of prices what are all
the storekeepers in O’Neill hollering
their heads off for?
Before we got the Goldei Hotel
every cheap traveling man that came
to town was kicking on stopping at
O’Neill. As soon as we got the
Golden Hotel finished they would
drive all night to get a bed for a
quarter. When vou have a good
thing push it along. >
The principal reason that prices are
going higher is he people demand
them. If they are used to paying 25c
per package for Postum they couldn’t
drink it if they bought it for 20c.
When eggs are 30 and 40c per dozen
everyone wants eggs. When they are
20c, nobody wants them. They don’t
taste as good.
When leather started going up all
the women wanted 10 inch bootees.
Manufacturers knew this and are
fixing the prices to suit this class of
trade.
My store is not located right to
catch the Suckers. I have to sell the
goods at the prices that will get the
business from the people who demand
their money’s worth.

O’Neill As A Dairy CenTf
More than half a million dollar!
paid out for cream and dairy product!
in O’Neill last year by the local buyers
and into the pockets of Holt count}
farmers.
How’s that for a county and a com
munity classed but a few years ago a;
part of the great American desert?
Sixty-one thousand cans of crean
were shipped from O’Neill alone th<
last twelve months, according to thi
publicity statistician of the Nortl
Western line in dilating on the nortl
and west part of the state a few day:
ago.
But the word painter didn’t go quit:
far enough. If he hand’t been afrai<

along the line he might have
mentioned a little item of 400,000
pounds of butter also shipped out of
here and consumed by those who do
not care for oleomargerine, to away
back east as far as Tonowanda, N. Y.,
and as far west as Lander, Wyoming.
Also the from eightey to two hundred
gallons of O’Neili ice cream that those
in the more immediate vicinity of this
geographical center of the world insistj
on having each day.
Incidentally it is estimated by
expert mathematicians that the eggs
laid by Holt county hens and shipped
out of O’Neill in the course of twelve
months, if made into an omelet the
width of a railroad track, and not too
thick, would cover the track from
here to Fremont. But this isn’t a
story about eggs.
A close approximate estimate of the
money paid to the farmers in the
territory served by O’Neill, for cream
and milk alone, the last twelve months
is $532,500, by the three principal
O’Neill buyers and their agents. And
the amount is increasing each month
as compared with the same month of
last year.
This is an indication, says General
Manager Driggs of the McGinnis
Creamery Company, that dairying is
becoming more and more an industry
in the county, and a doubling of this
amount within the next few years is
predicted by the optomists.
Cream prices vary of course with the
butter market, but at present are |
around thirty cents per pound for
butter fat in sour cream at the country
stations, to thirty-twoand thirty-three
at O’Neill, with thirty-six cents for
sweet cream used in ice cream making.
All O’Neill ice cream is made from
pure sweet cream and milk.
“We paid out $75,000 for cream in
O’Neill alone, last year,” said Mr.
Driggs. “Among some of our other
items of expenditure were more than
$9,000 for salaries and wages, a like
amount for fuel and $6,000 for mis
cellaneous supplies, such as creamery
packages, packing cases, etc. About
$7,000 more went for sweet cream for
our ice cream.”

PREPAREDNESS 1
_ !
The mighty forces at work, devastating and depopulating countries
across the sea, have left thier imprint on the minds of thinking people
-fr
throughout the civilized world.
Individuals as well as Nations realize, as never before, the gravity of
delay in matters related to protection of life and property.

It is an appropriate time to emphasize the importance of prepared
ness in every day affairs; the making ready for the unexpected events,
■ which so frequently deplete the fortunes and change the course of life
§gf ||§]
of thoughtless and unsuspecting folk.
Accumulating money, is preparedness for the day when labor is both
burdensome and profitless—provided the funds are placed in a depository
that affords absolute protection from external and internal agencies. jp
Such protection is available to all depositors in Nebraska State Banks.
Fortunately Bank failures are infrequent, yet preparedness—pro
tection against such an unfortunate incident—is good policy— a wise
precaution. jjj I
Depositors in Nebraska State Bank are protected by the Guaranty
Fund of the State of Nebraska, which now amounts to more than one
million dollars.
