MORE LOCAL MATTERS.
John L. Quig attended the annual
county fair at his old “home town”
Harlan, Iowa, last week.
Henry Lorge came up from Wynot,
Neb., last evening to spend the day
looking after his business interests in
this vicinity.
The orthodox Hebrews of the United
States will help in the conservation of
our country’s food products by eating
no pork or mutton during the period
of the war.
Brownie Ward, who is one of the
efficient employees of the Burgess
Nash store in Omaha, arrived in the
city last Monday evening to spend a
week visiting at the home of his
mother.
Contractor Hi. Nightengale has
completed the grading and dragging of
the new Chambers-O’Neill road, and
has moved his grading outfit to Green
Valley township where he has another
large contract.
Chairman M. P. Sullivan of the
county board has been appointed by
the board to be county supervisor of
highways. He will exercise the duties
of the position in addition to those of
his present one.
Frank O’Connoll has purchased the
Grand Cafe, taking charge of the same
last Saturday. Frank operated this
cafe before and made a success of it
and we have no doubt but what he will
be successful in his second venture
therein.
Arthur Ryan is getting to be a
“bug” on automobiles. A few years
ago Art used to talk base ball by the
hour. He has abandoned his former
pet hobby and now spoils automobiles.
Reason: He is now in the automobile
business and is getting the “maauma”
out of his talks.
Mr. and Mrs. Pat O’Donnell returned
last Tuesday evening from Omaha,
where Mrs. O’Donnell had been
receiving medical treatment for the
past ten days.
R. II. Parker, who has been engaged
in the real estate business at Long
Beach, California, the past four years,
arrived in the city the first of the week
for a month’s visit at the home of his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. ■ Byron Parker
east of this city.
Edgar Howard says he is a candi
date for the democratic nomination for
United States senator providing that
neither W. H. Thompson nor Ig. Dunn
is a candidate. Such being the case
Edgar is not a candidate; for Billy
Thompson always has been, and Ig. is
generally conceded to be a candidate.
Governor Neville has kindly offered
to assist the officials of Omaha and
Douglas county in enforcing prohi
bition in their territories even to the
extent of removing some of them from
office if necessary. Now the officials
have inaugurated an active campaign
to run down bootleggers and confiscate
their supplies. The first step in the
campaign was to thoroughly advertise
it through all the Omaha newspapers.
A large crowd attended the Seven
teenth annual Old Settlers picnic,
which was held in Hunter’s grove
north of this city last Thursday and
everyone present enjoyed themselves
to the utmost. These picnics are be
coming more popular each year and
people look forward to them with
pleasant anticipation, as it gives them
an opportunity to greet and visit with
old friends in various parts of the
county.
The district exemption board, for
this district, commenced last Monday
acting upon the exemptions. They
completed the exemptions for Valley
county last Tuesday. They will pass
upon the exemptions by counties,
leaving Douglas county until the last.
There are probably enough men in
each county in the state, who did not
claim exemption, to make up the first
quota of the draft army, which will be
called on September 5th, next Wed
nesday.
The social columns of the big papers
recently contained an account of a
little brush at a Los Angeles country
club between a Prince Buzziszki, or
something like that, and Jack Cudahy.
It appears that Nat Goodwin intro
duced his highness to Jack and the
latter invited the royality to help him
put away a large steak. This aroused
the ire of his nibs, for bluebloods of
course do not care to associate with
trades people and Jack’s father was a
butcher on a small scale. The prince
made known that he was a strict
vegetarian and also declared that beef
was responsible for the war. They
almost fought a duel. But the prince
really was mistaken about Jack, for
while his forebears were butchers,
Jack really is a professional man, once
having practiced surgery at Kansas
City.
Secretary Donohoe, of the Holt
County Fair Association, is putting
in extra hours these days getting
ready for the annual fair which will be
held in his city on Se^ember 11, 12

hummer and you want to get ready ti
visit this city on the 11, 12 and 13tl

have been gathered for your edifica
tion.

Sparks of Wit.
But Lottie Hadn’t One.
Flossie (alluding to her new ring)—
It isn’t always what a present costs
that makes it appreciated.
Lottie (who doesn’t think much of
it)—No, dear. Very often it is what
other people think it costs.
Nerve.
Hubby—The MacOrffans want to
borrow our new car for this evening.
Wifie—Like their cheek!
Hubby—But that’s not the worst.
They want permission to paste a piece
of paper over the monogram.
Some Speed.
Marx—Are you athletic?
Lois—Oh, yes, I’m the fastest
crocheter on our college team.
Marx—Zasso? How fast can you

Lois—Oh, about thirty nots an hour.

never propose to a girl on a Friday.
It is unlucky.
He (not having any)—Not always.
I once knew a fellow who did it, and
the girl refused him.
“Can she keep a secret?”
“Yes, the disagreeable thing.’ ’
Especially at 7 A. M.
Buffalo police caught L. Sandman
and accused him of stealing alarm
clocks. This isn’t the first time mem
bers of that tribe have played hob
with alarm clocks.
Waiting.
“Been hunting today, stranger?”
“Yes.”
“Shot anything?”
“I don’t know yet—I’m waiting for
the rest of the party to get into camp
so that we can call the roll.”—Country
Gentleman.
Not What He Said.
Arecently commissioned second lieu
tenant was drilling his command in an
Indinapolis street.
Something went wrong and the sol
diers found themselves trying to
march over a six-foot fence.
The lieutenant halted the company
and said:
“Men, why don’t yoti do what I want s
you to do instead of what I tell you
to do?”
If Pong Falls an Ping.
Ira Ping was drafted at Galena,
Kan.
A. J. Jong, West Orange, N. J., did
not wait for the draft, but rushed right
into the aviation school.
A grain dealer in Maine has retired
from business because he “hasn’t the
conscience to charge the prices.”—

Nick Romanoff won’t get to see the

is, no doubt, a good movie show in

Things That Sound Good.
“Easy sliding space for tie.”
“For Tomorrow—Fair and Warmer.”
“A few shares of stock are avail
able.”
Ou<"'dj of “bills,” perhaps the most
terrif ing word in Mr. Webster’s com
plete edition is “hellebore.” Do you
know a worse combination?”
“The lover is at a disadvantage -
with clothes stenched with tobacco,”
the good deacon .told J. Richrad Corn
back. “Mebbe so,” replied Mr. Come
back, “but as I remember it, she used
to place her head on my padded
shoulder and chirp, ‘And there won’t
be a room in our house too good for
you to smoke in.’ ”
Free Speech.
A short time ago Lincoln Steffens
made a speech advocating his theories.
At the end he invited those who would
to join his “Free Speech club.’ ’ Only
one man accepted the invitation.
He said: “Pd like to join your club
long enough to tell you what I think
about it.”
The Penalty.
The Grouch—Why do all men speak
of women who are the least bit pood
looking as “blamed pretty women?”
The Sardonic Simp—Easy. If
they’re pretty they’re sure to be j
blamed.
Or the Teeth We Used to Have?
“We shall all be made perfect in
heaven,” said the good deacon.
“Wonder if we meet our vermiform
appendixes there,” murmured the un
regenerate backslider, who has beeA
operated on for appendicitis.
