His oldest brother went to Cali fornia during the “gold rush,” and was never heard from afterwards. He is supposed to have been killed by In dians. His other brothers served in the Civil war. Henry being to young remained at home and cared for his widowed mother. In 1870 he married Rhoda Caroline Wagers, of Wiscon sin. To this union five children were born. The eldest, Mary Olive, died in infancy. He moved to Ogden, Iowa, and from there to Hamilton, County, Nebraska, and then to Holt county in 1884, and homestead fourteen miles east of O’Neill, on what is now known as the Leidy place where he made his home until 1890, when he purchased the Wisegarber dairy and moved to O’Neill.

Hoppert of the Extension Service, College of Agri culture, Lincoln, Nebraska, will con duct two orchard demonstrations in the north and northeast parts of the county. A demonstration will be con ducted at the John Moser farm at Dorsey in the large orchard starting promptly at 9:30. The other demon stration will be conducted at the Ernest Stein farm southwest of Meek in the afternoon at 2 o’clock. It will be absolutely necessary to start the forenoon demonstration promptly at 9:30 in order to be able to get to the demonstration at Meek in the after noon. It is the intention to hold a meeting some place close to Meek in the evening for discussing of how to spray, and the proper methods of spraying fruit trees. This will be an nounced more definitely at the de monstrations. Both of these demonstrations are being conducted in parts of the county where large numbers of fruit trees are found on nearly every farm, and we believe that nearly everybody growing trees realizes that the most essential things in the growing of fruit trees are pruning and spraying. Many of the orchards have been prac tically worthless due to the fact that very little care has been taken of them since they were planted, in some cases many years ago. These orchards Royal Theatre “HOME OF 'GOOD PICrnJRES”* ~ -FRIDAY & SATUI&AY “DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS” Thrills, romance and adventure.

Our policy is to reduce rates whenever possible, al though we expect to maintain rates that will allow us to give the public the very best service possible and yet allow us a fair profit for ourselves. * O’Neill is the fourteenth town operated by companies controlled by the W.
