The Frontier. VOLUME XLVIII. O'NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1928. NO. 35. L. L. Cornell O’Neill Electric Shoe Shop * It’s the soles of the people he keeps in view, For he is the doctor of boot and shoe; He serves the living and not the dead With the best of leather, wax, nails and thread. He can sew on a sole and make it fast, And do a good job and make it last. A great many patients come to his door, Worn out and run'down, besides feeling sore; Though he doesn’t use poultice, plaster or pill, He cuiles sick shoes, no matter how ill.

And from the time you start your spring plowing, right through every season and stage of growdng and har vesting your crops, you are assured of abundant and dependable power that will do each job in less time and with greater economy. I • Next time you are in town just drop in and let us talk over with you our plan that makes it possible for every v . farmer to own a Fordson. ► a,, R Mellor Motor Company Ford Dealers O’Neill.

It is reported that at least seventy five percent of the government's pro hibition agents, inspectors and super visors have failed to pass the recent civil service mental examinations.
