MELVIN 57 Steps Sells for Less Clarence Rasley went down to Nor folk Tuesday to drive back his Buick, which has been receiving a new coat of paint.

Golden returned Monday evening from a several weeks east ern trip during which he visited points in Ontario and Quebec provinces in Canada. He returned by way of Niagara Falls and also spent some time in the New England states.

The annual harvest of blue grass seed in Holt county began last week and will continue up to and after thc Fourth of July. An increased acre age, aggregating 30,000 acres, has been leased at several points in the county by the two seed companies which are operating in the county and approximately 200 stripping ma chines are at work. A large acreage is being headed near Stafford and In man in addition to that around O’Neill. The seed men pronounced the Holt county blue grass as su perior to that in other sections of the country. O’Neill was defeated again by the Stuart baseball aggregation, at Stu art, last Sunday, by a score of 8 to 2. This is positively the last time that O’Neill will be defeated by the boys of thq west end of the county, as the local team has been materially strengthened and unquestionably will wallop the west enders unmercifully at their next moetiv " which will bo on the local diamond day’s <?a c was O’Neill’s up until the se*en ii inning and Scuart backers already had begun to hedge when several un fortunate errors occurred and the boys blew up. Sunday’s game was the last O’Neill will lose this season. A thrilling account of the rescue of a drowning woman at Crystal Lake, near Sioux City, by Bob An gus, a former O’Neill resident, was contained in the Sioux City Jotfmal of Monday, which also carried a picture of the hero. According to the story six women bathers were rest ing on an anchored raft at the lake when several morons whom the fool killer unfortunately had overlooked, swan out to the raft and upset it in attempting to climb aboard. Several of the women were rescued by other bathers, but one sank. Mr. Angus answering a call for aid, swam out and after diving finally located and rescued the missing one who had be come entangled in the rushes at the bottom of the lake. The woman had been under water ten minutes when rescued. She was revived by Mrs. C. M. Gist, also formerly of O’Neill, who happened to be at the lake, and removed to a hospital, where she has since developed pneumonia from the experience. Mr. Angus, a Burling ton freight conductor, formerly ran out of O’Neill. This is his second suc cessful experience in life saving and he carries a fine gold watch presented him for the first one. C. M. Gist, also a Burlington conductor, and Mrs Gist, resided here until several years ago, Mrs. Gist being engaged in nursing. I --—---- _ “This Medicine Is Certain ly A World-Beater,” De dares Omaha Man. Many people hew are daily pur chasing Karnak and telling of its remarkable health-building powers. Among the many strong indorse ments of the sensational new medi cine that will be of interest to the readers of this paper is that of Thos. J. Stewart, 117 S. 14th St., Omaha, Neb., wMch is told in the following words: "Money couldn’t buy the good Karnak has done me,” is the en thusiastic statement of Mr. Stew art in reporting his remarkable re covery to good healtli by Ks use. For three years I suffered from nervous indigestion, constipation, nervousness and a weak condition. I couldn’t half rest nights, and mornings I would get up with a coated tongue and reeling all out of sorts in every way. ’’When Kamak came to Omaha I started taking it, and from the way it has fixed me up it must have been made especially for my case. It just knocked the indigestion sky high, and toned up my whole sys tem from head to foot. I don’t have a trouble of any kind, and ju<5t feel full of ‘go’ all the time. Kar nak is certainly a world beater.’’ Karnack is sold in O’Neill exclu sively by Chas. E. Stout, and by the leading druggist in every town.

O’NEILL AND VERDEL WILL CLASH ON THE LOCAL DIAMOND SUNDAY 7 ■ ' ' 7 Baseball fans will have an op portunity to witness one of the best games of the season next Sunday when O’Neill meets Verdel on the fair-grounds diamond. The Verdel team is one of the best along the Niobrara river and as the home team has been materially strengthened a hot contest is anticipated. Sunday’s game will be the first of a series of six games to be played at home by the O’Neill team. Two fast and furious baseball games and a big picnic dinner pre pared as only the excellent cooks of the north country can prepare it were the features of the Farmers Union picnic at the Ed Harding ranch north of town last Saturday. The baseball game between the married men and the single men resulted in a tie of nothing to nothing when the friends of the perspiring athletes interfered so fhat the crowd could witness a real game between two younger picked teams which resulted in a score of 5 to 4. A good time was had by all. MRS. MARY HARRINGTON.

RALPH PRICE ATTACKED BY WILD ANIMAL AT CHERRY COUNTY HOME Mrs. Ralph Price, sister of R. E. Gallagher, and a former resident of this county, was attacked and se riously injured by a wild animal, either a lynx or a wild cat, at her Cherry county ranch home, Sunday, June 14. News of her terrible ex perience was Deceived by Mr. Gal lagher in a letter from Mrs. Price, who is now in a hospital at Broken Bow recovering from her wounds. The Prices, who formerly lived at Page, reside on a ranch on the banks of the North Loup river at Lewana, nine miles below Brownlee in Cherry county. The morning of the attack she arose early and while still in her night clothes stepped out into the yard to let the chickens out of their coops. As she entered the yard the wild animal sprang upon her either from the roof of the porch of the house, or from one of the chicken houses and began biting and clawing her. She unsuccessfully attempted to beat it off. Her screams attracted her husband, who coming to her rescue succeeded in driving off the animal with a club. The animal, the letter stated, resembled a very much overgrown domestic cat, which an swers the description of either a lynx or the common bob-cat, both of which occasionally are found along the up per stretches of the Loups as they are along the Niobrara and Eagle creeks north of O’Neill. It is rare, however, that either animal attacks man, unless cornered and unable to escape. Mrs. Price received twenty seven lacerations about her left arm and leg in her battle with the animal. George Agnes and M. R. Sullivan drove over to Mitchell and Planking ton Sunday. J. B. Mellor attended a -district meeting of Ford agents at Norfolk Wednesday, and also the banquet fol lowing in the evening at the Pacific hotel. | Royal Theatre ] mmmffimmttmmmmmtfflmttnntm COOLEST PLACE IN TOWN. - FRIDAY - Frances Howard, Adolphe Menjou, Ricardo Cortez, in “THE SWAN” Comedy - SATURDAY --— BIG DOUBLE BILL Tom Mix in Zane Grey’s ‘THE LAST OF THE DUANES” —and— ‘TONY” “THE WONDER HORSE” Fu] of action and out-of-door stuff. —also— The pictures taken on the Omaha Booster Trip, shown by the courtesy of H.

Nebraska State Bank "There Is No Substitute Fo*' Safety” “Lubber” The Largest Horse In The World Is a Holt County Product t * Friends, meet “Lubber,” the larg est horse in the world. Holt county leads the world in the production of many things. Not the lease of these is horses. There may be sections of the country which raises a few more horses, but none raise ’em any larger. Lubber, the largest horse in the world, is a Holt county product. He was born and raised in Holt county, by George Mellor of Red Bird. The big horse, now five years of age, was. reared by Mr. Mellor on the Mellor ranch near Red Bird and grew up on Holt county hay, grain and water, of which there are none better. He was sold recently to C. F. Mitchell of Spencer and is to be exhibited at the Chicago Livestock exposition. Lubber, a gelding, stands 20 hands or 80 inches and at present weighs a little over 3,000 pounds, or better than a ton and 6ne-half. He still is grow ing, is taking on weight in prepara tion for his trip down to Chicago, and is expected to tip the scales at 3,500 pounds by that time. Lubber will be at Wisner for the Fourth of July cele bration next week. Lubber is a dark bay with black points and his con formation ie pronounced perfect by horse authorities. He is light on his feet, like most very large people. Some idea of his size may be gained by comparing him with Mr. Mitchell, who is holding him, in the cut. Mitchell stands 6 feet and 4 inches in his stocking feet and weighs 230 pounds. Lubber is a crossbreed, his dam being a pure-bred Purcheron and his sire a Belgian and Shire cross. He was the pet of the Mellor family and they parted with him with ex ceeding regret, but he was too large for any of the regular harnesses on the ranch and too big to work with another horse. Every bit of his har nesses, bridles, halters, etc., had to be made to special order. Lubber would have been in great demand several hundred years ago among the nickle-plated boys who roamed about the country hunting for trouble, for his owner could easily have worn several bundles more of iron shingles than then were customary, and with out in the least discommoding his mount. Miss Mary Markey left Tuesday for a visit with relatives in Chicago. Father Brady returned Saturday from a short visit at Omaha. $MotorTra nsportation would quickly become a memory 4 if*suitable Lubricatioa were cut off ’HE same oil that pen X etrates the closest fitting JL. bearings and maintains a wear-preventing cushion between moving parts must also supply a film of oil between cylinder walls and piston rings which will main tain compression and prevent leakage of gasoline vapors and explosive gases. This film on the cylinder walls is constantly being burned off and constantly re newed. So motor oil must have the quality of burning up without producing hard, gritty particles.” i "Plain Facts About Modem Motor Fuel and Motor Oil” Page IS • & NO machine is more dependent on proper lubrication than a gasoline motor. No lubrication problem has been more carefully studied or is better under stood. But careless lubrication cost American motorists half a billion dollars, from 1914 to 1923, for repair parts and labor (the figure given in a paper presented before the Automotive Service Association at their recent New York conference). This repair bill would have been a lot smaller if the lubrication rules outlined in “Plain Facts About Modem Motor Fuel and Motor Oil” had been observed. On request, we will gladly send you a copy. Plenty of oil does not guarantee protection, full power or big mileage per gallon of gasoline. Only clean oil of the right grade can do this—and no oil is clean after 500 miles of operation. Polarine is made in six grades—Light, Me dium, Heavy, Special Heavy, Extra Heavy and a special grade for Ford cars and trucks only, Polarine “F”—a grade to suit every make of motor. t So consult the Polarine Chart and get just the right grade for your motor. Empty your crank case every five hundred miles and refill with fresh Polarine, It will save you money. Buy it from any garage or dealer who displays the Red Crown sign.
