I $2.00 "WHEAT
Last fall the farmers bought seed wheat at $3 to $3.50 per bushel and planted it. What the birds didn’t eat the frost got—In the spring the wheat come up
thin—The Newspapers—The Government—all tcld the farmers not to plow it up for corn or oats, to leave it go—That the price they got in the fall would make up
for the loss—Then they set the price at $2.00, just one-third less than the cost of the seed—Everybody hollering about what the farmer is making—Why don’t they
|| go farming—The Newspapers said to plant big gardens—They did—What price do they want to pay for it. $0.
Now if the people want cheap bread next year they better pay the price this year—Does the Government figure the farmers are bone-headed enough to run
their farms into debt and pay double prices for the stuff they have to buy—Talk about Patriotism—is it patriotism to knife your comrade in the back—if that is
what Hoover Wilson or any man calls patriotism then I want to be shot for a traitor. No farmer yet has kicked on selling his wheat at $2.00, providing he could
buy his coal at $8.00 instead of $14.00. If he could buy his grain drills for $19.60 instead of $48.75 and $50.00. If he could hire hands to work for $20.00 per month
and boarf instead of &15 t0 $65- The farmer is entitled to his price just as well as the Ammunition Makers—the Ship Builders—the Lumber and Coal Yards or the
Railroads. Better buy your flour now for two years ahead because no farmer is going to raise wheat for you at $2.00 per bushel when he can get $2.25 for corn
and 90 cents for oats. As I said before a good many times. MOST OF THE SUCKERS HAVE LEFT THE FARM. Some farmers say that $2.00 is a good big
price wheat' They are the farmers who can>t raise wheat. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could set the price on the other fellows stuff? The $2.00 price on wheat this
| fall will put most of the wheat farmers out of the wheat business and we may not see any wheat flour for sale next year. This week Yeast Cakes—Soda—Tooth

MORE LOCAL MATTERS.
Fred Swingley, of Atkinson, was an
O’Neill visitor Wednesday.
L. W. Arnold made a business trip
to Tilden Wednesday, returning the
same day. ,
Mrs. Ralph Evans and son left yes
terday morning for her home at £>ter
ling, Colorado, after a few week*
visit with relatives here.
The fifteenth annual meeting of the
Rebakah Lodges for the Twenty-ninth
district of Nebraska, was held in this
city last Thursday evening. Delegates
were present from various lodges up
and down the line and they were
royally entertained by the members of
the local lodge.
Lawrence Chapman left last Fri
day night for Billings, Mont., where
he will locate and enter upon the
practice of his profession. Lawrence
has had a couple of years in the
practice of his profession in this city
and is well equipped to enter
upon the practice of law in our
neighboring state. He visited Billings
a couple of weeks ago and decided
there was a splendid opening in that
city for an ambitious young lawyer.
His Holt county friends wish him suc
cess in his new location.
W. L. Fisher, of Wayne, was in the
city Wednesday visiting old friends.
Mr. Fisher was formerly engaged in
the hardware business, in the store
now owned by Warner & Sons, but
disposed of his business here and
moved to Wayne some seven years
ago. At the present time he is
operating a bakery and confectionary
at Wayne and says that he is doing a
splendid business. His Holt county
friends will be glad to learn of his
success. ,
A net earning of $64 per acre on
rented land, sown to Winter wheat, is
this year’s record for W. A. Marr,
seven miles northeast of O’Nelil. Mr.
Marr, in addition to farming his own
land rented an additional quarter, the
owner of which insisted on a cash
rental. The land in question cost the
present owner $32 an acre when pur
chased, or less than the profit per acre
realized by Mr. Marr on his winter
wheat for which he is finding a strong
demand at $2.60 per bushel for seed.
At the regular meeting of Charles
Carroll of Carrollton Council, Knights
of Columbus, held lastTuesday evening,

. The firm of Chmeler & Grady was
dissolved last Tuesday, John Chmeler
buying the interests of his partner,
Ben Grady. As the latter was caught
in the draft and will leave here with
the next Holt county contingent for
Camp Funston, Kansas, he was com
pelled to dispose of his interest in the
shoe store. Mr. Chmeler will retain
the firm name of Chmeler & Grady.
The boys have been doing a splendid
business since opening their store a
year ago and Mr. Chmeler says that
he will continue the same policy that
the firm had from its organization,
that is to handle only first class goods
and to sell them at the lowest possible
margin of profit.
Leave For Camp Funston.
The citizens of O’Neill and the sur
rounding country did themselves
proud last Sunday in their farewell to
the soldier boys, who left that morn
ing for Camp Funston, Kansas. At
least 2,000 people were at the train
when the special train pulled in at
11:45, and they were present from all
parts of the county. The boys were
feeling fine and anxious to get started
and when the train pulled out it was
with the cheers of the people of this
city and surrounding territory ringing
in their ears and their fervent prayers
that they would come safely back, with
the laurels of victory on their brow.
The men were in charge of Harry
Radaker, who was made captain of
the squad for the trip. They were
also accompanied by County Clerk
Kelley, clerk of the exemption board,
who accompanied them to the camp in
Kansas. Word from Kelley is to the
effect that the boys arrived at Camp
Funston at 9 o’clock Monday morning
and that they were all feeling fine.
Saturday evening the citizens of
this city entertained the boys with a
supper at the Golden Hotel. They
went from the hotel to the opera
house where a splendid program was
rendered. At the meeting at the
opera house Judge Dickson presided
and after a few brief and very fitting
remarks introduced Judge Harrington,
who made the principal address of the
evening. The Judge made an extended
address,reviewing the incidents that led
up to the declaration of war, and de
clared that there was only one position
for a patriotic American to take at
this time and that was to be unre
servedly in favor of his country. The
Judge was given the closest attention
through his address and was heartily
cheeked at its conclusion.
Mrs. H. J. Reardon then favored
with a vocal solo, after which Hugh J.
Boyle was introduced and delivered
one of his eloquent and convincing ad
dresses which was enthusiastically
received.
At the conclusion of the speaking
program the young folks tripped the
light fantastic for several hours and
the young people seemed to thor
oughly eqjoy themselves.

men who left Sunday morning:
