Perplexity and uncertainty mark the present situa tion. The Bible couples this with the deliverance the Kingdom of God is to bring to mankind. Because we are persuaded that Jehovah is now answering the prayer, “Thy Kingdom Come,” and in carrying out the Divine Plan, will deliver the people from the bondage of sin and death, we invite you to be present at The Royal Theatre O’Neill, Nebraska At 4:30 Sunday, April 26th We will discuss what the Bible says of such de liverance.

The meeting of the music depart ment on Wednesday, April 15, was one to be remembered, in that the program was made most entertaining by the addition of numbers by the girls from the public school. Much credit is due to Miss Irenaeia Biglia for her splendid work with the little girls in a playlet entitled “The Japan ese Dolls.” Well trained and each one perfect in her part, with Miss Rose Taylor at the piano, the little play was a f revelation to the audience, and demonstrated what little ones can do when properly coached. Later in the program the High School Girls’ Chorus, under the direction of Miss Mariam Gilligan, gave a selection which showed much careful training, and was greatly ap preciated. The General Club meeting was held on Wednesday, April 22nd, and was well attended. The feature of the meeting was the Parliamentary Drill under the direction of Mrs. C. *J. Ma lone. Several important announce ments were made by the President, Mrs. Gilligan, which were as follows: Wednesday, April 29th, will be “Art Day,” and the club will have an art exhibit, and a club tea. Each membes is requested to bring some picture, etching, engraving or print to be placed with the exhibit This will be one of “THE DAYS” of which the Woman’s Club has had so many.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul Closson have rented the old Hatch place, near tere, and will move there soon. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Clark and family drove over to Spencer on Sunday to visit Mrs. Clark’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lowry.' Business was rushing at Powell & Cos., on Saturday afternoon, nearly every customer bringing eggs or cream apd some brought both. There were two dances in the same neighborhood last Saturday night; one at Oscar Dixon’s and the other at Oscar Newman’s. Music at New man’s was furnished by Blake Ben son’s orchestra; Powell Brothers fur nished th£ music for Dixons. There was a fair sized crowd at each place the early part of the evening, but about midnight Dixon’s crowd went up to Newmans. We hear that there is to be a dance at each place again two weeks from last Saturday night. If the crowd left Dixon’s because the music was too slow, as has been rumored, they will probably find out at the next dance that the orchestra has speeded up. The BULL’S EYE Tditor and General Manager j __WILL ROGERS Another 'Boll' Durham adver tisement by Will Rogers,Ziegfeld Follies and screen star, and lead ing American humorist. Morn coming. VV Those Two Boys Chauncey and Will I JUST saw a nice write up and Chauncey Depew’s picture in all the papers where he told of his first watch which was a9 Elgin. Said he kept it for years and somebody stole it on a New York Central train. (That’s what he gets for riding on his own Railroad.) What does he need a watch foranyway, time means nothingto him. HewasinThe Follies the other day, and I introduced him and made him make a speech, he said, “I have been entertaining au diences for 91 years and have never found it necessary to usea Lariat yet”. The old rascal hung one on me. Now the moral of his story as I could gather it is don’t have an Elgin Watch, somebody will steal it. So my story is carry ‘Bull’ Durham, they may borrow it, but nobody will steal it. Now after looking at this I don’t know whether it is an ad for Elgin Watches, Chauncey Depew, The Follies or ‘Bull’ Durham. Well, they are all good. P. S. I’m going to write aome more piece* that will appear in this paper. Keep look ing for them. MORE OF EVERYTHING for a lot less money. That’s the net of this Bull’ Durham propo sition.

I “There’s Nothing Too Good I Can Say For This Wonderful Med icine,” Says Prominent Man. Many prominent men in Nebras ka have come forward and placed their stamp of approval on Kar nak, after testing it for themselves. Among such men is L. M. Bene sin, the well-known public account ant, residing at 224 N. Eighth St, Council Bluffs, la., just across the river from Omaha, who says: “I don’t know of any better way I can help those who are suffering like I did than inducing them to try Karnak. “My case was one of long stand ing and I spent considerable money trying to get relief. My stomach gave me no end of trouble and, for years, I suffered day and night from gas bloating, biliousness, headaches and weak, dizzy spells. There would be sharp pains in my stomach and I often wondered if I didn’t have appendicitis. “Well, sir, although all other medicines and treatments had failed to help me, Kamak just took right hold of my ease like it was made especially for my troubles. In fact, it has helped me so won derfully in the short time I have taken it that there is nothing too good I can say for Kamak. I will gladly verify these facts about Kamak to anybody,” Kamak is sold in O’Neill exclu sively by Chas. E. Stout, and by the leading druggist in every town.
