I It’s Your Move
About a year age we advised the people of this
community to lay in their winter’s supply of coal, pre
dicting a serious shortage.
HH Did they take the advice ?
They did not
The shortage arrived on time, and the only reason
there was not actual suffering was because the local
dealers had stocked a supply during the summer and
were on the alert day and night. Fuel was secured for
O’Neill when many other localities were unable to obtain
any. It was sold at times in limited quantities, at an
actual loss to the dealers, on account of high cost of de
livery in small lots.
The outlook for the coming winter shows no improve
ment. The government has fixed prices to encourage
consumers to buy during the summer. It is up to the
public to do this. At the prices fixed dealers cannot
store coal to supply your needs next winter. You must
share the burden. The government margin to dealers
is figured close. In fact the question as to whether the
dealer has any margin of net profit is a problem for
students in higher mathematics. > I
As to hard coal, no one knows how much, if any,
O’Neill will receive. It would be wise to act upon the
assumption that there will be none to speak of, and ar
range for b ft coal instead. We hope to secure nut coke
for base bu Tiers, which gave general satisfaction the
Ulr past winter.
I But the main point is: Go to your dealer, whoever
he is, and leave an order for coal, for delivery as soon
as he can get it, and tell him you will pay for it when
delivered. He has spent his cash for liberty bonds and
will have to have the money. He can’t buy on time.
This coal should be in your bins before July 1, as it is
almost impossible to secure teams for delivery work be
tween July 1 and October 1, on account of the haying
season.
Will the public pay any attention to this advice?
We shall see.
If it doesn’t it. will place itself in the position of hav
ing to uncomplainingly accept responsibility for what
ever conditions may exist next winter.
And besides: In addition to providing prudently for
your own necessities, you will be performing a real
service for the government. This summer coal business
is a hardship on us but we are ready to do our bit. Are
Today, right narw, is the time to place your order.

The Liberty Loan address at Page
Saturday afternoon was delivered by
County Judge Malone, whose elo

Judge Malone has devoted much time
the last fall and winter to assisting in

many of the towns and school houses
of the county.
On April 6th, Miss Etta Alfs
teacher in District No. 8, gave a pro
gram and social for the benefit of the
Red Cross, which was a big success
The program of patriotic songs and
pieces were the best ever heard in this
community, and it goes to show that
Miss Alfs took great pains in train
ing her pupils for the occasion. On
account of the evening being stormy
there was not as large a crowd as was
expected; but those who were there
enjoyed it fine. John Murray and
Loyde Ritts were the auctioneers and
the way they got the money out of the
boys goes to show that they are not
slow. They have gained for them
selves a reputation as auctioneers and
are thinking of entering the field next
spring in competition with Jim Moore.
The proceeds amounted to $71.10.
The highest basket brought |$21.00
which was the teacher’s. ***
Hurrah For Webb Kellogg.
Sioux City Tribune: O’Neill, Neb.,
brings forth the name of Webb Kel
logg as the largest food producer in
the state of Nebraska. Mr. Kellogg,
whose oldest son is on his way to
France and whose second son is
“rarin’ to go,” is farming 3,000 acres
at Allen; 640 acres at Brunswick and
a 320-acre dairy farm near Sioux City.
In addition, he is operating two
ranches at O’Neill with a joint acreage
of 5,600 from which he has for years
turned off from 5,000 to 8,000 head of
cattle annually. This year his output
from these two ranches will be more
than 15,000 beeves.
Beware Of O’Neill Orators.
The fiery eloquence of O’Neill
orators, when loosed in the cause of
patriotism, sure starts their auditors
to going. If the people of neighboring
towns don’t want trouble among them
selves they had better not invite an
O’Neill man to address them on the
subject of the war. First it was
Senator James Donohoe, who last fall
was invited by the citizens of Butte to
make a patriotic address. When the
senator got through one half of the
town tried to tar and feather the other
half for being disloyal. Last Satur
day the citizens of Stuart asked Judge
J. J. Harrington to make a few re
marks about the Third Liberty Loan.
When the judge got through the citi
zens tried to mob William Krotter, a
leading citizen who had objected to
some of the judge’s remarks, and even
the home guard, called out to preserve
order, wanted to participate in the
festivities.__
North East Holt. ,
The little snow storms of late have
been a great benefit to all the small
grain. There is an increased acreage
this year mainly of wheat and oats and
it is all looking fine now.
J. E. Wiley is the new P. M. at
Dorsey, Mrs. Davis having resigned.
Jim also has one phone central so that
with farming he certainly ought to be
busy.
The mail line from Lynch has been
extended to Star, that much of the line
being cut off from the line from
O’Neill, which had for many years
supplied Dorsey via Star. Three lines
now end at Star all due there at the
same time which we think would also
nut a few more lines in the brow of the
Star P. M.
Ed. Alders barn burned a few days
ago, also burning some harness and
a saddle. The women folks saved a
good horse from the fire which was
caused by a match in the hands of a ^

but his judgment a bit wrong. S
John Mosier is as usual selling some jS
fruit trees this spring, working on the TO
principle which is correct, that if you S

The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. TO
Ralph Phillips died at the Norfolk jff
hospital on March 31st and the little TO
body was brought home and buried in TO
the Star cemetery. Iff
Roy Pilger had a sale shortly ago TO
and moved to a farm he had bought TO
near Plainview. However he still |ff
owns his farm here so he can come TO
back anytime and find his many

Adrion Robinson is farming the TO
Pilger farm this year. TO
George Tomlinson is moving on TO
high gear this spring, and in fact al- TO
ways has. This season however he TO
has to increase speed somewhat to TO
take care of and farm the 320 acres TO
extra that he bought a short time ago. TO
Anton Sorenson died at his home jff
near Opportunity March 30th and was TO
buried in the Mineola cemetery fol- TO
lowed by a very large crowd of his iff
friends and neighbors. Mr. Sorenson TO
was a native of Denmark and at the TO
time when Germany by force stole raj
Schlesswig from Denmark was a small TO
boy, but had a very distinct remem- iff
brance of seeing the Prussion robbers TO

Millions of Dollars Have Been Paid in Divi- II
dends to People Owning Stock in
Packing Companies
IB' YOU ACT AT ONCE, THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE AN INVESTMENT
IN THE 8 PER CENT GUARANTEED, PREFERRED, PARTICIPATING STOCK OF THE If
Skinner Packing Co.
OMAHA, U. S. A. *
Dear Sir:—
We are offering at Par, $100 per share, a limited amount of the Guaranteed Preferred Partici- if
pating Stock of the SKINNER PACKING COMPANY, of Omaha, Nebaska. 1
This company is backed by some of the leading business men of Omaha and is under the personal 11
management of the Skinner Brothers who operate the Skinner Manufacturing Company, the world’s if
largest manufacturers and distributors of Macaroni products, and the specialty lines of the SKINNER II
PACKING COMPANY will be marketed under the present nationally known SKINNER quality trade II
mark through the present national sales organization of the Skinner Manufacturing Company. f;
The SKINNER PACKING COMPANY is organized on a high grade basis and there is not a •
dollar of promotion stock. j,
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROFITS OF THE PACKING I
BUSINESS. Morris & Company, this year, paid over 180 per cent on their capital stock. ||
While the preferred stock of the SKINNER PACKING COMPANY calls for only an 8 per cent jj
dividend the best authorities estimate that their plant will earn an annual dividend on their entire
capitalization of over 30 per cent and as each share of stock in the company participates equally in the |j
profits, this stock should be on a 30 per cent dividend paying basis within a very short time. Entire ca
pitalization only $2,500,000. *'
Omaha is the world’s second largest live stock market. $192,000,000 of meat products packed h !
ere last year which represented but 60 per cent of the live stock shipped to this market. The operating
by the SKINNER PACKING COMPANY of Omaha’s Daylight Snow White Independent Packing Plant if
will retard the trans-shipment of the live stock at this point which will mean a great economic saving.
THE TIME IN WHICH YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE I
THIS STOCK AT PAR IS LIMITED. fi
Please fill out the enclosed blank for further particulars and state the amount you might invqpt
so same may be reserved for you. Address me care Golden Hotel, O’Neill, Nebraska, as I am represents- u
tive of the Financial Department of the SKINNER PACKING COMPANY. JjJ
Yours very truly, !j
