Carefree as a Schoolboy Business worries forgotten, he patiently awaits that same tug at the line that so often set his heart to dancing when a schoolboy. Eagerly he senses the struggle with the greedy beauty in the brook. The modern business man knows the value of getting out in the open occasionally, as a tonic to keep fit. But he no longer neglects his business while he is away. “Long distance” makes supervision possible from any distance and keeps him in touch with the office. I Ask “long'distance” for the rates to any town, at any time. Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. BELL SYSTEM One Policy - One Syttem - Univertal Service M. E. CHURCH NOTES.

Stuart, Neb.: Three persons were injured Sunday night when a coupe crashed into the rear end of a road ster, which was parked on the right side of the Nebraska highway No. 1, about four miles west of Stuart. Al fred Sutherland of Newport, driver of the car, which was owned by his father, suffered the cutting of the tendon leading to the little finger in his left hand. Miss Ethel Sutherland, his sister, had her knee badly cut. A Mr. Wilch, who was with them re ceived a deep gash in his arm. The car that was struck was owned by County Attorney Nolan of Rock county. His wife and baby were sit ting in the car when the accident oc curred and Mr. Nolan was working on the car. None of them was injured. The driver of the coupe was unable to see the parked car because an auto from Winner, South Dakota, was stopped right beside the Nolan car and its lights were turned on bright, according to Sutherland. He says he could only see the car with the lights, which was on the left side of the road as he approached. He turned to the right necessarily to go around it, and crashed into the Nolan car which, he says, had no lights visible whatso ever. The coupe was practically demol ished, the front end being badly smashed, and the seat even being torn loose from the shock of the collision. NIOBRARA POWER DAM SEEMS TO BE ASSURED (Norfolk News.)

The dam, which will be located about 300 feet from the Whiting bridge, will be made of concrete across the channel and the rest of dirt. Total length of the structure will be 3,400 feet, the fill being 120 feet wide at the base and 12 feet wide at the top, and will be one of the largest dams in the state. Cost of the structure is estimated Away From The Crowds America is still undiscovered, still waiting to be discovered—by you!
