Will Help to Win the War.
Dennis Hanley, Holt county pioneer,
will do his bit in helping Uncle Sam
to win the war. Age is no bar to
effort, declares Mr. Hanley, who is 77
years young, and next spring he will
return to the soil and actively culti
vate his 350 acre farm north and west
of O’Neill. Mr. Hanley retired eight
or nine years ago and moved to
O’Neill. “The first of March will find
me back on the farm, and I am going
to work just as I formerly did,” Mr.
Hanley announced to some friends
Tuesday. “I feel just as hearty as I
did years ago and I guess I can stand
farming, to help the United States,
while the war lasts.”

Food Conservation Bits.
All available wheat and meats for
export had been exported by the Gov
ernment up to November 1, according
to Food Administrator Wattles. From
now on every bit of stuffs exported
will have to be saved by the Nebraska
housewives and their families.
With more than 243,000 signed
pledge cards, Nebraska measures away
above the general average for states.
This response is most gratifying and
shows the patriotism of the Ne
braska people. Based on Nebraska’s
families, numbering 294,000, the aver
age is the answer to whether Ne
braska’s sympathy is with the United
States in its struggle for the preserva
tion of Democray.
With the standard bread loaf be
coming effective in Omaha, the price
dropped perceptibly, bakers of the
metropolis selling bread at 8c for the
16 oz. loaf. Wholesalers are selling
pound loaves at 7%c, unwrapped, at
their places of business.
Help Win the War
Be patriotic. Help Win the War. Our supply
of coal depends on the supply of cars and the railroad
companies being able to move the cars,, and the less
I the cars are tied up and the less cars that are used,
that could be avoided, makes the traffic lighter and
gives the railroad companies a better chance to
handle the necessities that cannot be avoided.
One often hears of a car of coal being on the
road from four to six weeks, from the loading point
to its destination. This is caused by being side
tracked at some point and left until the railroad
company has motive power to move it. Then why
should there be flour shipped to any point where
there is a mill and wheat shipped out, when either
could be avoided. Just such stunts as this is the
cause of your car of coal standing on some siding
four and six weeks and children suffering from the
cold for want of fuel.
Patronize home industry and help the farmer
get more money for wheat by saving shipment both
ways:
OUR PRICES:
Flour, 48 pound sack, money back guarantee $2.75
Shorts, per hundred .... 2.60
Bran, per hundred..... 1.75
Screenings, per hundred... 2.50
Oyster Shells, per hundred.. 1.25
Oil Meal, per hundred. 3.50
We will grind rye flour next week. All wishing |
to get rye flour, bring your rye the forepart of the .
week.
