elsewhere, according to the daily mar
ket reports. Owing to the superior
quality of the Holt county product the
buyers are able to handle on less mar
gin, as very little of the corn is grad
ing lower than No. 3. James F.
O Donnell returned last Friday from a
several days visit at Omaha, where he
found Holt county corn in demand and
at a premium. The Omaha dealers,
according to Mr. O’Donnell, have found
it necessary to run but little of the
shipments from O’Neill and vicinity
through the driers, something that
cannot be said of corn from other sec
tions of the state. As a result of the
superior quality local producers are
receiving from five to six cents more
per bushel than is being paid else
where.

(North (McGregor.) Iowa Tribune,
Softly a lovely soul took flight.
To brighten Heaven with its sweet
humility.
Her memory is the fragrance of apple

Fresh and <pure in the soft winds of
spring.
Bringing with it the Beauty and Cour
age of Youth.
A youth that Death makes immortal.
Could she but stoop down from the
garden of God,
Where like a graceful lily she nods
and smiles
She would whisper—“I am content.
Faith has brought the sweet peace of
eternity.”

$20,000 BULL FIGURES IN
DAMAGE SUIT F1LD HERE
Omaha, Neb.: “Ellen’s Best,” full
brother of the 1917 world’s champion
Hereford bull, “Ardmore,” who is
valued at twenty thousand dollars, is
the subject of controversy in a suit
filed in district court yesterday by
Mrs. Susan L. Thompson, 70 of West
Point, Nebraska, against Emil Suhr,
Dodge county farmer, and John T.
Bauman and Herman Koch. West
Point bankers.
“Ellen’s Best” is a son of “Lady
Ellen,” producer of “Ardmore.” Mrs.
Thonipson raised “Ardmore” and sold
him a short time before he was en
tered in the national shows, pro
nounced champion and subsequently
sold for thirty-one thousand dollars.
In November, 1922, Mrs. Thompson
alleges, she lent “Ellen’s Best” to Suhr
for breeding purposes, and that after
keeping him for some six months,
Bauman and Koch went to his farm
and took possession of the animal,
claiming they owned a part interest in
him.
It is the contention of, the bankers
that the animal was included in a
mortgage Mrs. Thompson made some
time previously, but she strenuously
denies this, averring “Ellen’s Best”
was never mortgaged.
Attorneys John L. Hasselquist and
John L. Webster represents Mrs.
Thompson. The suit was filled in this
county because service was gotten on
Suhr here. Mrs. Thompson has been
interested in Hereford cattle for
twenty-five years. Her two sons are
ranchers in Holt County, Nebraska.
