A girls Basket Ball team repre senting the Atkinson High .School, came to O’Neill last Friday, and re turned home the same night, after be ing defeated by the O’Neill girls, by the close score of 9 to 8. The game was good throughout, and was thor oughly enjoyed by the small unmber of fans, who ventured forth on that cold night. The ladies of the Thursday Club entertained their husbands at the home of H. J. Boyle Tuesday night. Mrs. Reardon carried off the ladies’ prize, a beautiful ivory manicure set, and R. E. Gallagher the gentleman’s prize, a pair of kid gloves. Neil Brennan was awarded a very appro priate consolation. At 12:30 an ele gant luncheon was served. 0. B. Hatch returned last week from a visit to Omaha and brought back a new Overland car and says the road is not near as long from his place to this city as it was before he bought the car. He says that he had a letter a few days ago from his son, Ray, who is a member of the sanitary corps, formerly of Lincoln in the National Guard, but who are now members of the Rainbow Division and are in France. He assured his folks that he was getting along fine and liked the life and the country . Dave Riser, of Milford, Neb., was a pleasant caller at this office last Mon day. Dave was a resident of this county for many years and still owns one of Holt county’s finest farms which is now being farmed by his son, while he is taking life easy in the east ern part of the state. He still con siders Holt county his home and says that The Frontier is eagerly looked for each week to see what is happen ing in this section of the state, where he spent so many years. He returned to his home Tuesday morning. The Martez Club, composed of young ladies, gave a dance and lunch eon at the Golden Hotel last Saturday evening complimentary to the young mea. The occasion was a very joyous one, the young ladies being especially radient, and the music excellent. The program consisted of fifteen dances, headed by the Grand. March and end ing with Home, Sweet Home. After the dancing, luncheon was served, and the young people left for their homes. Judging from the remarks heard this affair was a greater success than any of the previous entertainments given by the Martez Club. Horiskey holds the rabbit’s foot. At the Cribbage tournament last Monday night, held in the K. C. Club rooms, was seen what might have been term ed a dramatic climax to the workings of late. M. H. Horiskey for some time past has been rather unlucky, and has taken especial pains to let all of the members know of that fact. On Monday night Jim Davis, in order to test the luck of the rabbit’s foot, brought to the club rooms, the left hind foot of a snowshoe jack from the Cas cades, this foot he presented to Horis ■ key, who announced on the opening of play that he was certain to win the tournament. Who else could win, when Horiskey was the possessor, of a rabbit’s foot with the pedigree of this one? As the end drew near both Horiskey and Phalin had lost two games, the play ended with these two standing even. Horiskey and Phalin were then allowed to play for the benefit of the other members to see, who should take the prize. Again Horiskey asseHs, in a theatrical man ner that he will win. The play went on, the members grouped around the table giving advice to first one and then the other, finally it was over. Phalin had failed to make the turn when Horiskey cleared the lost hole. Chaos reigned supreme, at last the supremacy of the rabbit’s foot has been demonstrated, and the Voodoo Charmers lying in their graves in Africa, will forever rest in peace. It is now being rumored that Phalin is trying to get in communication with a New York firm, that will be able to ship him on short notice, the left hind foot of an Australian Kangaroo, which it is said will counteract the influence of Horiskey’s rabbit foot. “CIVILIZATION” PROVES THRILLING SPECTACLE Omaha Daily News: “Civilization,” a film spectacle vying in interest with any which has ever been shown in Omaha, is at the Boyd theatre this week. The film predicts the coming of uni versal peace forever after depicting the horrors of war, including battle scenes and the sinking of an ocean li'.'er by a submarine. The film shows the inventor of the submarine, horrified by the use to which it has been put, sinking the U boat with its crew. The film includes a love story. Frank Ellis Dead. Frank Ellis, who for many years was a resident of this county, living in the northwest corner where he operated a large ranch, and who lived for a couple of years in this city after retiring from the ranch, died at his home in Norfolk last Wednesday. The Norfolk News contained the following account of his death: “Frank Ellis, whose home has been at 210 Braasch avenue, died Wednes day morning, January 9, at 2:30. He had for some time been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble. The funeral was held from the Sessions & Bell undertaking rooms this afternoon at 2:30, brief services being conducted by Rev. E. J. T. Connely of the M. E. church. Interment was made in Pros pect Hill cemetery. “Deceased was born in Detroit, Mich., 63 years ago. Heicame to Ne braska about forty years ago, settling in Holt county where he engaged in ranching. About three years ago he retired and took up his residence in Norfolk. He is suvived by four chil dren, three sons and one daughter. The sons, Ed, Jess and Frank, live in Boyd county, and the daughter, Mrs. Lottie Peterson, lives in Holt county.” Death of B. J. Ryan. Barney Ryan, for many years en gaged in the grocery business in this city, died at a hospital in Norfolk on Monday of last week, after an illness of ten days of pneumonia. Mr. Ryan was head of the O’Neill Grocery Company, owned by a Lincoln wholesale house, in this city for several years, the store being located on the corner where the Golden hotel now stands. About twenty years ago he went to Neligh to accept the po sition as cashier in a bank that was opened there by O’Neill capitalists. The bank was sold some five years later and Mr. Ryan engaged in the lumber business in Neligh, which he conducted until about eight years ago when he disposed of his interests there and moved to California, where he invested his savings in a fruit farm. The investment turned out badly and Mr. Ryan returned to Ne braska and for a couple of years was book keeper for William Krotter Company of Stuart, later accepting a position as bookkeeper for a lumber firm at Norfolk, where he reisded for the past year. His wife and son were living in California while his eldest daughter is a resident of Norflok. NOTICE. The United States Department of Naturalization Service has informed me that in a recent test case styled the United States vs. Antonio Morena, the Supreme Court of the United States held that a Declaration of Intention or first citizenship paper is void if more than seven years old at the time it is offered in support of Petition for Naturalization.. All applicants for naturalization who have petitions now pending for citizenship and whose Declaration of Intention is more than seven years old will under this ruling have to declare their Intentions anew as their petitions now pending will have to be dismissed. T. J. COYNE, Clerk of District Court. Ked Cross Notice. Responding to an appeal from Red Cross Headquarters for surgical dres sings, to be used for the wounded soldiers abroad, O’Neill women have been busily engaged this week, in organizing classes to begin im mediate work in this line. It is hoped that all women who have time, will devote one afternoon each week to this humane and important work. According to instructions from headquarters, all expecting to help in this department, are required to pro vide themselves with suitable aprons and caps, before beginning the work. Judge Dickson has kindly offered the use of several unused rooms in the court house, where the work can be done to good advantage. The first meeting for work, will be on Monday afternoon, January 21st, from 2 until 5 o’clock. Mrs. E. F. Gallagher has been appointed to take charge of this department of the Red Cross work. ! dnnk, will freeze at 32° Fahrenheit—just like any j || i other non-alcoholic beverage. Be careful about this, as freezing affects the rich fullness of that * delightful Bevo flavor which goes so particularly well with a meal or a bite to eat. If Bevo were merely a summer beverage this warning might not be so timely—but, as all who drink it know — Bevo is an all-year-’round drink Everybody enjoys it for more than just its thirst quenching qualities—the pleasure it gives comes from its flavor, purity and wholesome nutritious ness—the enjoyment of these qualities is inde pendent of time or season. To get full pleasure out of Dutch lunches, Welsh Tarebits, oysters, clams, lobsters, sausage, cheese and many other such delicious edibles, Bevo should be included. You will find Bevo at inns, cafeterias, restaurants, groceries, department and drug stores, soda foun tains, dining cars, steamships, canteens, soldiers’ homes, navy, and other places where refreshing, soft drink beverages are sold. Your grocer will supply you by the case. Demand the genuine—have the bottle opened in front of you—see that the seal is unbroken covering the crown top and see that the crown top bears the Fox. Bevo is sold in bottles only, and is bottled exclusively by Anheuser-Busch—St. Louis NORTHWESTERN BEVERAGE CO. Wholesale Dealers SIOUX CITY, IOWA C. S.

It is an in spiration because the finest known example of the arti ficers’ art in range making. It is a picture because so pleasing—a statute because ideal in proportions—a sym phony because of the perfect performance. Copper-Clad means that a sheet of pure Copper is placed BETWEEN the sweaty asbestos and range body. To place it elsewhere would be like climbing on top of a roof to get out of the rain. SEE WHY COPPER-CLAD RANGES DO NOT RUST OUT A section of a range body is heated and there on the iron body is the sweat from the asbestos. You see just exactly what happens every time you build a fire in your range. You see why the sheet of copper is used and what it does and how it does it. SAVE A THOUSAND SHOVELS OF COAL EVERY YEAR You know how the many walls and air space of a thermos bottle hold the heat. You know that a house with a single wall is not as warm as the house with two walls and an air space. You know that storm windows, two windows with a space between, are much warmer than a single window even if it is as thick as the two windows. The Copper-Clad Range has four walls and an air space. See what it means in fuel saving. See how the heat is wasted by radiation on the three-wall construction and how it is saved by the four-wall thermos construction. Suppose that ydu save but one shovel of coal at each meal: in a year’s time you would save over a thousand shovels of coal. Pay? Of course, it will pay; and you owe it to your self to see these two great demonstrations and know for your self what range lasts longest—is most economical—cooks best —and looks best.
