LADIES' SUITS
For daytime and evening wraps no fabric has been more popular than valour. The shades for day
wear are Plum, Wine, Mustard, Brown, terra Cotta, Mahogany, Dark Green and Old Blue—While Gaber
dine serges and poplins are of as much consequence by producing that positive value that is required for the
consumer. Colors ranging quite the same. In Taffetta Suits we are very strong in reliable shades of Black,
Brown and Navy. (
COATS
Spring coats are of a varied display of Cloths, which pleases the customer, as the selection will be that
much larger. Checks in various colors are displayed, trimmed with plain trimmings, which produces very
nobby sport effects. Plain colors are also shown with lots of check to their design and colors as follows:
Bright Green, Gold, Mustard, Magenta, Apple Green and a very fine line of Wisteria shades. Navy, Brown
and Black are always very popular with a large number of people and we can satisfy your demands and desires
I with very fancy coats in these cloths. 1 *
SKIRTS
Separate Skirts were never better or more stylish than they are this season as they produce the golf
effect which is the acme of style perfection in out-of-door sport costumes today. They are in plain and fancy
worsted designs. My stock is complete with a variety of plain colors, Roman stripes and Novelty Checks. |

Charles E. Ferdig. In her petition she
alleges that they were married in
Council Bluffs on December 9, 1915,

moved to Holt county where they re
sided on a farm near Page. She says

fendant without cause told her to
leave their house, and has ever since
refused to let her come back, that he
has treated her cruelly and inhumanly,
and since evicting her has refused and
still refuses to contribute anything to
jher support. She believes that his
property interests are equal to about
$3000, and she asks that he be re
strained by injur.ction from assigning
selling or encumbering any of this
property, as she has reason to be
lieve he is about to do. She further
asks that her maiden name of Leota
Booth be restored, with reasonable ali
mony and costs of suit.

Annual Township Meeting.
The annual Grattan township meet
ig was held, as scheduled, last Tues
day at the court house. The meeting
was called for the Library but on ac
count of the severe cold it was ad
journed to the court house. Jacob
Hirsch presided. The attendance was
very small, the voters seemingly tak
ing but little interest in the govern
ment of the township.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved, and the re
port of the treasurer, John Hickey,
was also approved. Levies of 13
mills were made for the coming year
to be divided as follows: Bridge fund,
2 mills; general fund, 2 mills; library
fund, 2 mills; road fund, 5 mills;
special levy for the Chambers-O'Neill
A Tribute to 014 Glory.
In these stirring times, when it
seems that we are on the verge of be- ’3
ing drawn into a great war, and when .5
Americans of foreign extraction are ,
wont to sympathize a little
strongly with their mother country, p
some even in deference to the 3
land of their adoption, it seems
particularly fitting that we in- ,
dulge in expressions of patriotic senti
ment. Patriotism, reverence and re- I,
spect for the flag, the symbol of our
being, placed upon such a lofty plane ;
by Washington and Lincoln, should be
so instilled into the hearts of all ;•
Americans that the symbol of the
land of Liberty need nevei want for
sons to protect her. |
The following tribute was read by
S. J. Weekes. at the Emmet banquet ;J
Monday evening, and is worthy of
your consideration: 1
Your flag and our flag, S
And how it floats to-day
O’er your land and my land
And half the world away.
Blood red and rose red,
Its stripes forever gleam; !
Snow white and soul white, '
The good forefathers’ dream. ~
Sky blue and true blue,
With stars that beam aright; )
A gloried guidon of the day,
A shelter through the night. ,
Your flag and my flag—
Oh, how much it holds
Your heart and my heart
Secure within its folds.
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight;
Sun kissed and wind tossed, 1
The red and blue and white.
The one flag! The great flag! ■
The flag for me and you
Glorified, all else beside,
The red and white and blue.
Wertz-Philiips.
At a home wedding of charming ap
pointments, Miss Mildred Gale Wertz, {
of Star, Nebr., became the wife of Mr
Ralph P. Phillips, also of Star, on
Wednesday, February 28th, at 11
o’clock. The words were spoken by
Rev. Bruce of O’Neill, and the solemn,
impressive ring service was used. j
The bride was attended by Miss
Lena Cole, and the groom’s brother,
Mr. Robert Phillips, acted as best man.
The bride wore a simply fashioned
and very becoming gown of white
crepe de chine, effectively trimmed
with silk embroidiered net. Her
flowers were orange blossoms in a
shower boquet.
Miss Cole wore a dainty frock of I
white and pink.
After congratulations a wedding
dinner of four courses was served and i
later in the aftarnoon, Mr. and Mrs.
Phillips left for their wedding trip, ;
the destination known only to them
selves and relatives.
The bride’s traveling suit was of
Copenhagen blue silk poplin, smartly *
trimmed with gray satin.
Mrs. Phillips is a young lady of
many accomplishments, has a sweet
and winning manner and possesses a
host of friends.
Mr. Phillips is the second son of Ex
Senator Phillips, and is one of Holt
County’s finest young men.
They will make their home on a :
farm two and or.e-half miles south
east of Star.
To this young couple the community
extends their best wishes for their
future happiness. ***
The report of the library board for
the past year, filed at this meeting,
shows an increase of 365 in the
number of books in that institution,
and an increase of 175 in the number
of patrons. It should even show a j
more extended usage as the people
become better acquainted with its ad
vantages.
