An ancient jack and an old gray
mare brought $350 into the coffers of
the Chambers and O’Neill Red Cross
at the Horton sale south of town Wed
nesday of last week. The jack, do
nated by Charles Brawn, started off
at $10 and was sold and resold by Col.
James Moore, auctioneer, until it had
realized $250, when Charlie got it
back for five dollars. Then the old
gray mare was trotted out and al
though no longer a colt was sold and
resold until $100 was realized. The
money was divided equally between
the two Red Cross chapters.
Set Your Clocks Ahead Sunday.
Sunday morning at 2 o’clock the
daylight savings law goes into effect.
At that time, or rather at 10 o’clock
Saturday night, which may be more
convenent, all clocks and watches
should be turned one hour ahead to so
remain until 2 o’clock a. m., October
31. The daylight savings act was
passed by congress and it is estimated
that under it thousands of tons of coal
used in light and power plants will be
saved and that workers will be given
an hour more in the afternoons for re
creation or work in the gardens. The
act makes the new time the standard
time for the period mentioned. In
O’Neill the county offices will open and
close on the new time and the mer
chants generally will observe it. The
banks will open at 9 a. m. new time
and close at 4 p. m., to accommodate
their country patrons. The churches
will follow‘the new time in their
services, with the exception that this
Sunday the Presbyterian church will
observe old time to avoid confusion.
The Rev. Father Cassidy announces
that his congregation will observe the
new time with the first Sunday
mass. Railway agents have not yet
been informed regarding train sched
ules. The schools will observe the
new time.

Speaking Of Railoads.
Albion News: “Elsewhere in this
paper will be found the Articles of
incorporation of a new railroad which
proposes to bulid a line from Albion
to Atkinson, in Holt county, a distance
of approximately 100 miles. The ar
ticles were filed at Lincoln last week,
and inasmuch as the promotors were
compelled to pay a filing fee of over a
thousand dillars, it would look as
though they meant business. The or
ganizers are from Kansas City, St.
Joseph, Omaha and Colorado Springs,
and claim to have unlimited capital be
hind them.
“Mr. Pullen, the president, was in
Albion last week, and assured the
News that they meant business, and
active work on the survey will be
started just as soon as the prelimi

said that he was not at liberty to tell
all the plans that they had under their
hat, but insisted it was not any U. P
or Northwestern scheme, but an en
tirely new and independent company.
This hundred mile sector was only a
starter for a north and south system,
to extend across the state, with branch
lines to many unoccupied sections of
the state. He intimated that the
Niobrara river was capable of being
harnessed and furnish sufficient elec
tric power for a large system of roads.
“Mr. Pullen has been engaged in
building railroads in different parts of
the United States for many years, and
intimated that he knew a good thing
when he saw it, especially an un
occupied railroad field.
"An office will be established at
Albion which is to be the headquarters
of the new company, and further de
velopment will be awaited with
interest.”
A TALK WITH AN O’NEILL MAN

of His Interesting Experience.
There is nothing like a talk with
one of our own citizens for giving
hope and encouragement to the anx
ious sufferer from the dread kidney
disease. We, therefore, give here an
interview with an O’Neill man:
“Some tme ago I was suffering from
kidney disorder,” says Mr. Davison.
“My back was lame and sore and there
was a steady, heavy pain over my
kidneys. When at my work, I could
hardly straighten up, because such
sharp pains caught me in my back.
My kidneys acted too often and the
secretions were unnatural. I knew

“Every village they have passed
through has been the victim of what
is only organized pillage. Every city
has been practically sacked, ransacked
on system; its citizens plundered, its
civil officials terrorized, imprisoned,
outraged, or killed. The civil popula
tions have been, contrary to the usage
of modern warfare, forced to serve
the invading armies, brutally put to
death, reduced to wholesale starvation,
and desolation. Vast tracts of the
richest and most industrious districts
of Europe have been deliberately
stripped and plunged into famine,
solely in order that the invaders might
make war cheaply. Irregular troops,
contrary to all the practice of war,
have been systematically murdered,
and civil populations indiscriminately
massacred, solely to spread terror. A
regular system of ingenious terrorism
has been directed against civilians, as

Rubber Securities
THE RESPONSE to our recenty advertised offering of RUBBER SECURITIES has
been such that we deem it necessary to compliment the editors of O’Neill’s papers upon the
drawing-power of advertisements in their publications.
WE HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW inquiries about our offering and have already inter
ested a number of investors, and the actual results so far accomplished has been gratifying.
WE FEEL THAT THERE IS NO BETTER INDUSTRIAL INVESTMENT OFFER
ING than that obtained in the RUBBER INDUSTRY. The demand for automobile and
truck tires far exceed the supply. We have figures that would astonish the average person
as to the immense number of tires required to supply even the cars now in use in this
territory.
WE FEEL QUITE SURE that there are a number of people here in O’Neill who would
really be interested in the details of our offering, but if you won’t ask us, how can we find
you.
THIS IS NQT WHAT IS KNOWN AS A “WILD CAT” scheme, but a perfectly legiti
mate offering. Allow us to convince you of this fact by calling on us, either in person or by
phone.
THERE ARE QUITE A FEW in O’Neill who are already interested, we naturally wish
there to be more, for we feel that this is your OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN ON SOME
THING THAT IS BIG.
This offering will not long be available, it is being sold in Omaha and all over the State
of Nebraska. It is a Nebraska Corporation and its foundation is solid.
Let us show you how you can both save twenty per cent on your tires each year and also
have your money working for you at a rate that is much better than the average.
