ROYAL THEATRE
11 Fridav and Saturday Evenings, Saturday 3:00 P. M. 1
“How can we
• keep the crowds in
line?” has been the
main worry of the
theatre managers
where MICKEY
has been seen and
and there is every
reason to suppose
that the same wor
ry will face the
Manager of the
Royal Theatre at
O’Neill since
“MICKEY”
is booked for an
engagement start
ing Friday even
ing, October 17th.
Will also be shown
Saturday afternoon
and evening, Octo
ber 18th.
Every so often
an attraction
comes into the pub
lic’s scope which is
sure to appeal to
everyone and to be
seen by everyone.
No one has forgotten the success of
The Birth of a Nation nor the ac
claim that greeted “Tillie’s Punc
tured Romance.” Those pictures
contained the hundred per cent
drawing power that made the pub
lic want to see them again and
again. That same statement is
true of the appeal of MICKEY.
There is nothing like it in the film
world to-day. It has demonstrated
that Mack Sennett is the supreme
master of the human emotions. He
runs up and down the scale with
all the skill of a virtuoso, leaving
you the better for his having
pleased you.
Admission, (all three shows) Adults, 55c; Childs, zbc
(Including War Tax.) ||

THE UNIVERSAL CAR ■ I III
The Ford Model T one-ton truck is
proving a splendid time and money
saver on the farm. It is very flexible
in control, strong and dependable in
service. It has really become one of
the farm
ers’ neces
c ▼ sities. One W,
Ford truck is equal to
half a dozen teams and
it won’t “eat its head
! i off” when not working,
j • The very low price makes it popular ^
with shrewd farmers who analyze PH
conditions on the farm. Let’s talk it ii
over, Mr. Farmer. Price, without
body, $550 f. o. b. Detroit. We have
them in our garage ready to deliver
to you. Come in and drive one home.

Buckwheat Crop A Bumper One.
The open season on buckwheat
:akes, which commences at the same
;ime each fall that woolen underwear
;eases to scratch, is almost upon us,
uid Holt county mortals, more blessed
han those of other climes, will not
lave to content themselves with weak
mitations concocted from camouflaged
ground bran and sawdust worked off
m more unfortunate ones. There is
lothing more toothsome and condu
:ive to family felicity than the sturdy,
lomely buckwheat cake in its original
virginity; nothing more disgusting
han an imitation. Holt county’s buck
wheat crop this year is a bumper one.
In fact the biggest on record. Local
nills already have begun to grind the
lour and there will be enough not only
o supply each man, woman and child
>f the county with the proper per
apita quota, but to feed a large part
>f the nation’s population—provided,
>f course, a benevolent government
loes not seize and export it to feed
he members of the newly created, or
ibout to be created, world’s democracy
lot including Shantung or Ireland.
R. H. Murray, the buckwheat king
>f Holt county, has harvested and
hreshed his crop and has a couple of
:ar1oads. Others in the buckwheat
>elt report similar yields, and the
Middlebranch mill, located in the
enter of the district, is starting on
;he season’s grind. Other local mills
ilso are preparing to make buckwheat
lour and a much larger amount than
irdinary will be ground, distributed
ocally, and shipped this winter. Holt
:ounty buckwheat goes as far east as
Mew York City, where it is in great
lemand, and numerous orders also are
•eceived from the Pacific coast and in
;ermediate points.

;erks, owns diamonds, in addition to
naving several annual vacations a year,

missed the mammoth diamod which
adorns one of his finger rings and im
mediately concluded that he had lost
it in '.be mail car coming up Saturday

brush and running the dirt through a
Hour sifter. He found the diamond in
the last sifter, a little before sundown.

give longer and better service than to
make a living by repairing poor batteries.

Try One Brunswick
Then Decide
The best way to know for yourself the superiority of the
Brunswick Tire is to buy one and compare it.
That is, if the very name of Brunswick isn’t sufficient proof
to you, as it is to most men, that here is an extraordinary tire.
Thousands of men who have known the name of Brunswick
for years, realize that a Brunswick Tire has to be the best —
for a mediocre product could never bear this historic name.
Long before the Overland Trail became famous, the House
of Brunswick was established. It was one of the chief users
of rubber for fifty years before automobiles came into use.
No concern with such a history could afford to offer any
thing but the best. For reputations are built slowly, but can
be quickly destroyed.
This is a practical guarantee that Brunswick Tires offer
more than the usual, yet at no added cost.
Get your first one now. You’ll not be satisfied until you
have ALL Brunswicks.
