.. " ' - -- -/ I ATTENTION! j Farmers & Stockmen j What are you doing to increase your land value and put your j mi county on the Map? I have lived in Custer county for the past _:18 | years and my brother and I have been engaged extensively in the rais ing of mules. It is my belief that through the efforts of my brother ] and myself and through the interest taken by other farmers and stock- j men in the raising of mules, that we have made it possible to claim j for Custer County, the distinction of raising the largest number of mules of any county in the state. | I am acquainted with Holt County and its possibilities, and I be j lieve that you can rival or even surpass Custer County in the pro- 1 duction of mules and I assure you that you will not only add to the j distinction of your county from a stockraising standpoint, but you will j enhance your profits even greater than in the hog and cattle industry. 3 We handle and sell more jacks than any firm in the state. We have on hand at the present time, 10 large fine jacks which we im- j ported from Missouri and Kentucky last fall and I am satisfied that j| they are the best bunch of jacks you will find anywhere in the state.

Wirt Hiatt of the Cham Ders Sun. -o Editor Kelly remarks in last week’s Atkinson Graphic that the town is sadly in need of a religious revival, a lew hotel and a new high school auilding. The need of the first men tioned is universally conceded. -o There must be one church with a very large and growing congregation in Gordon, Nebraska. A five gallon can of 190 proof alcohol which fell off a train at Inman the other day was destined to Gordon for sacramental purposes, according to the label. -o The Atkinson Graphic says that At kinson is going to become a railroad junction point as soon as the govern ment gets through manipulatig pri vate enterprises. It is rumored that the Florida, Chambers and Alaska railroad, and Az Perry’s North Pole to the Gulf roads are going to junk there -o The World-Herald at last admits that the notorious pro-German Pa tricia Newcomb letters which were a feature of the publication before popu lar sentiment became strong against them, had the tacit approval and en dorsement of Senator Hitchcock. The admission is indirectly made in an open letter by the World-Herald editor re plying to a letter of Governor Mc Kelvie. Editor Neubrandt in his let ter declares that Senator Hitchcock as owner of the World-Herald is re sponsible for articles and editorials appearing in the paper. -o A five gallon can of alcohol fell off a Northwestern train down at Inman recently. The stopper had been re moved when the can was found. Then the Inman Leader issued a boom edi tion announcing that Inman was to be made a freight division termial point and the commercial club decided to in augurate a campaign for electric lights, and water and sewer systems and a city hall. Railroad officials at last located the can and shipped it and the remaining contents to Gordon, to which place it had been billed. In man will content itself this year with a four days chautauqua in June. -o War Tank Gives Demonstration. O’Neill citizens had their first op portunity to see a war tank in opera tion Thursday morning, when the Whippet tank, with its crew of soldiers, sent out by the government in the interest of the Victory Loan, demonstrated that a tank can go about any place it wants to. The tank, of the caterpillar tractor type, is manned by a crew of two, a driver and a gunner. It can carry and safely house six men if occasion requires. These tanks were Used in the war in nosing out and destroying machine gun nests. The tank crawled in and out of the big hole at the Brennan corner, Fourth and Douglas, then went down to the site of the burned buildings across from The Frontier office and crawled in and out of the excavations and open base ments there, and over the wreckage, just as though there were no impedi ments in its way. Following the de monstration speeches for the Victory Loan, the drive for which starts Mon day, were delivered by Charles Stew irt and Hugh J. Boyle of Norfolk and M. F. Harrington, of O’Neill, and Ex. Congressman Stephens of the Third listrict. The special train carrying ;he tank, attendants and speakers, ar rived from tjie west Wednesday night ind left Thursday afternoon for Ne igh, the next stop.
