i
AK-SAR-BEN TIME IS HERE.
SEPTEMBER 12th began the rac
ing season of the Ak-Sar-Ben Fall
Festivities. SEPTEMBER 12th to
OCTOBER 10th. DON’T FORGET
THE DATES!
Ak-Sar-Ben is a house-hold word
in the Central West and especially in
Nebraska and Iowa. Every year
thousands upon thousands journey to
the gate city to make merry in the
King’s Domain.
This year the American Legion
National Convention will be in ses
sion during the Fall Festivies and
everything is shaping itself to show
the guests the “time of their lives.”
Ak-Sar-Ben has been a great factor
in the development of this middlewest
and, quoting a well-known Omaha
newspaper, “It is always good to have
this generator of optimism and ex
haust valve of pessimism get to work,
for its first idea is to get OUR
SELVES feeling right about things,
then to scatter the seeds of eheer
and confidence as far as the western
prairie winds will carry them.”
The fall Racing Program opened
September 12th with as fine an array
of horses as has ever been assembled
at any American track. Over 500
horses will participate in these Run
ning Races and there will be seven
races daily, rain or shine, except Sun
days and Tuesday, October 6th which
Is the American Legion Parade Day.

The Carnial Festivities open Sept.
29th and close Oct. 10th. The Great
Snapp Bros. Exposition Shows will
have twenty-five cars of attractions
with two free attractions. Mat Gay
the diving wonder who dives from a
100 foot tower into four feet of water
will be a feature worth coming many
miles to see.
The electric parade will be held
Wednesday, Oct. 7th, and Will be by
far the greatest spectacle ever wit
nessed by Ak-Sar-Ben visitors in the
history of Ak-Sar-Ben pageantry. The
parade is based almost entirely on
the American Legion convention and
activities and will be very elaborate
and educational to say the least.
So it’s ON TO OMAHA THIS
FALL!

Does Your Poultry Bring
Top Prices?
The million American farmers with tele
phones have eliminated guesswork in selling
poultry.
They call up before taking chickens to town
and can get top prices because they sell when
the market is at its best.
The telephone plays an important part in
marketing about 100 million chickens in this
country each year.
There is perha- s nothing the farmer buys,
which for theme icy, brings him so much satis
faction as his telephone.

Investigation of several cases of
intoxication among the children at
tending the annual picnic of the Sun
day school of Lost Pond Union
Church, six miles below Beaver Flats,
last week, has led to the exoneration
of the ranchman on whose lands the
picnic was held and the unearthing
of evidence of perhaps a tragedy hap
pening years before the settling of
the Calamas Valley.
Considerable indignation was
aroused during the picnic when a
numher of the elder boys who had
gone over from the picnic grounds to
an old and abandoned orchard a quar
ter of a mile away returned display
ing alarming evidences of inebriation
and breaths of a decidedly Kentucky
aroma. Search of the old orchard
disclosed no apparent source of sup
ply, and the boys were brought be
fore Judge Kirwin in the Beaver Flats
Juvenile Court next day in an effort
to ascertain the identity of their
bootlegger. All, however, indignantly
denied that they had partaken of in
toxicants and insisted that they had
done nothing but eat a few apples.
As only a few of the boyp who had
visited the orchard had shown signs
of intoxication, the Court at:first re
fused to believe them. Further ques
tioning, however, elicited that only
those who had eaten from a tree on
! I.ho extreme south ^'Vto o* fV.o «-mitnxd,
and on the edge of what the early set
tlers said had been a former channel
of the Calamas River, were affected.
The Court, to assure himself that
the youths were not lying, ordered an
adjournment, and with the court at
taches and a number of the leading \
citizens of The Flats visited the or
chard and sampled the fruit of the
tree from which the boys declared
they had partaken. The apples
proved to be of delicious and peculiai
flavor and the eating of several of
them imparted a decided feeling of
warmth and exhiliaration.
Judge Kirwin immediatel ordered
the Sheriff to destroy the tree, both
trunk and roots. While digging out
the latter the workmen, in following
up a lone one, came across an old and
well-preserved be *•»•*?!, six feet below
the surface, into which tenacles of
the root had forced an entrance
around the bung. The head of the
cask at opce was knocked in and it
was found to ptill contain several gal
lons of a thick and oily liquid which
evidently once had been whisky. The
liquid was taken possession of by the
officials and turned oyer to the Beaver
Flats Hospital. The barrel is sup
posed to have been part of the cargo
of a steamboat said to have sunk in
the river at about this point years ago
when river traffic was at its height.
