To, m?ke ^ Profit on farm produce it seems necessary to shorten the route from the producer to the consumer
That is the policy the Farm Bureau expects to carry out in its marketing program, which is just starting Ice
cream will be served free to all visiting the station the first day whether you have produce or not. The station is
yours and it will be a success if you patronize it.
The Station is Located in the Arthur Ryan Building, Across the Street from the Gallagher Store.
The Chevrolet garage and sales agency moved to the Brennan store building to accommodate us.
Since we would not deal with Swift & Company they have put in a station. Do not get the locations mixed un
and leave your produce at the wrong place. Make the business big from the first day. Bring in your Cream, Eggs
and Poultry Saturday. Produce will be purchased from all farmers. CASH WILL BE PAID TO ALL.

LOCATES REFORMATORY
NEAR LINCOLN
The State Board of Control have
located the reformatory in Lancaster
county, near the city of Lincoln, hav
ing- purchased the old Hayward Mili
tary Academy building, three miles
outside the city of Lincoln, from a
group of Lincoln capitalists. They
will attempt to convert this building
into a suitable building to be used as
a reformatory. They paid $37,600 for
the building and will have to purchase
200 or 300 acres of land adjacent
thereto, which will cost in the neigh
borhood of $300 per acre. It is our
opinion that there is no economy in
the purchase of this old building, as
it will have to be entirely remodeled
before it can be used for the purpose
for which it was purchased, and oft
times the cost of remodeling exceeds
the cost of erecting a new building.
The Lincoln correspondent of the
World-Herald has the following re
garding the location of the reforma
tory in a recent issue of that paper:
“Lincoln politicians and business
men are trying to keep cool and talk
ing about the purchase of the Western
Military acedemy building west of the
city by the board of control for the
new state reformatory.
“The board was being vigorously
criticized for its action.
“It is false economy to buy an old
building, a ‘dead horse’ even for $37,
500, the critics were declaring when
nobody knows just how much more it
is going to take to make it into a re
formatory where prisoners are to be
kept. It is a poor location, others said.
It should have been located at Fremont
or Auburn, others thought. The build
ing will have to be practically torn
down and rebuilt in order to put it
into shape for a reformatory, it was
declared.
“ ‘The word goes around that the
board of control bought a building,’
one man said. ‘It is better to say that

sonienoe sold a building.’
“Some of the critics were of the
opinion that the purchase of the build
ing was in violation of the law passed
by the last session of the legislature,
v.'hich appropriated $300,000 for the
erection of the new state reformatory.
‘The law specified that a building was
to be built and that the work was to
be done by convict labor’ it was said
today. ‘The board is not building a
building.’ ”

Mike Ford is the fastest runner, h
the world, bar none. He can beal
Etny Reed, Leo Mullen or J. D. Cronin
all of whom claim to be some step
pers. Their diversion is attempting
to run down jack rabbits. Mr. Ford
doesn’t attempt, but does run them
down and captures them alive. Last
Sunday evening while the four were
driving out near the old Sauser place
north of town they scared up a young
b'acktail jack rabbit and immediately
got out of the car and took after the
rabbit across a field of listed corn,
The other three soon gave up the
chase, but Ford kept on and in a final
spurt just before the rabbit reached
the fence on the opposite side of the
field overtook and picked up his victim
alive. The rabbit was brought to town
and given to little Miss Quilty, who
is taming it. Any other little kid
wanting a live jack rabbit just write
a letter to Mr. Michael Ford, General
Delivery, O’Neill, and he will run an
other one down next Sunday. Mr.
Ford never runs on week days.
When approaching a horse from the
rear, in an automobile, one should
never honk the horn harshly or taunt
ingly, says Mike Horiskey, and to
substantiate his assertion Mr. Horis
r~
key is relating an incident of Sunday
afternoon, when with a companion, in
his Packard, he was viewing the
bounteous crops north of the city. It
seems that during the drive he over
took a band of horses being driven in
the same direction. Horiskey honked
the honker'mildly and all the horses
but one immediately trotted from the
roadway to the side ditches. The one,
deep in meditation over his sad plight
of being a working horse in hot
weather, paid no attention to Oie
clarion warning to vacate and con
tinued to saunter on his chosen path.
Repeated blasts failed to arouse him
from his mood and finally the car ran
up almost upon him and the horn
shrieked hoarsely. Then Dobbin ex
pressed his displeasure with automo
biles with a glance behind and kicked
a front lamp off, bracket and all, be
fore he left the roadway.
