Our reputation for fair dealing and reliable
goods, coupled with the De Laval record of
service ana durability, has made the De Laval
_ Cream Separator the leader in this community.
COST—That’s what you put into a cream separator.
VALUE—That’s what you take out of your cream separator.
Value in a cream separator depends upon the amount and the
quality of service you get out of it
Because it lasts fifteen to twenty years the De Laval is the most
economical cream separator to buy. If you consider its cleaner skim
ming, easier running, greater capacity
and less cost for repairs, the price of the
“cheapest” machine on the market is
exorbitant in comparison.
7 With present high butter-fat prices
and the scarcity of labor this is truer
than ever.
We'll sell you a De Laval on
such easy terms that it will pay
for itself out of its own savings.
We want to see you the next
h time you’re in town.

The state senate Tuesday passed the
cigaret bill, which amends the pres
ent statute and permits an adult to
smoke cigarets without being a law
violator. .The old statute prohibited
the sale of cigarets entirely in Ne
braska. It was not observed or en
lorced to any great extent. The new
act prohibits the sale of cigarets to
minors, prohibits smoking in restau
rants or public dining rooms, licenses
the sale of cigars, tobacco and cigar
ets in the state and provides for the
revoking of license of any dealer found
guilty of selling tobacco to minors,
the license fee for handling tobacco
is from $10 to $25 a year for retailers,
according to population of town or
city, and a $100 fee for wholesalers.
The bill as amended and passed by the
senate now must go to the house for
concurrence before being presented to
the governor for his signature.

COMMERCIAL CLUB, ATTENTION!
Why Not Get This For O’Neill.
Inman Leader: The assistant su
perintendent of the C. & N. W. Rail
road Co., was in Inman Tuesday look
ing over the grounds with the view of
making a freight terminal at this
point. Under the operation of the new
eight hour law the haul is too great
a distance between Norfolk and Long
Pine resulting in tying up a number
of crews along the route. The officials
have realized for some time that a
division point was necessary and In
man’s location with a sufficient
amount of yard ground, adequate sup
ply of water and other advantages
gives the public reasons to believe that
a railroad terminal will be established
here.

John Ruxton, pioneer section fore
man on the Northwestern railroad be

Northwestern railroad. He leaves to
survive him, the widow and four chil
dren: Bernice and Frank, of Wood
Lake; Mrs. Robert Ray, of Chadron
and Harvey, of Eckley, Colo., the first
