Why Worry About Serving Lunch When Kirwan & Ritts Lunch Wagon I Will Serve The Lunch at Public _ | Sales or Other Public Events. I Any Where at Any Time. fj O’Neill, Nebraska Prices Very Reasonable 1 O'NEILL CJl’N CLl B HOLI) MATCH SHOOT i The match shoot held by the mem bers of the O’Neill Gun Club at their i club grounds last Sunday was a good ; one. The cold chilly wind made it j rather disagreeable for the contest- j ants as well as the spectators. A large number of spectators are 1 present at each . hoot and considerable interest is manifest by those who do 1 not participate in the events. A banquet was held at the Gatz hotel last Monday evening which was given by the losers of contests held i by the club on January 22nd, and on the 20th; as the Smith side lost both ! contests the Monday evening banquet ! settled both events. Following ^ the result of last Sun- ! day’s shoot: STATE OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN February 2, 1928. Mr. W. E. Conklin, County Treasurer, O’Neill, Nebraska. Dear Sir: This is to confirm con versation with you over the telephone this morning, at which time I told you that you were right in charging 815.00 for the first 4000 pounds gross load of trucks, plus 50c for each 100 pounds in excess of 4000 pounds. The law is very clear on this, and there is no question but what the course you arc pursuing is strictly in accordance with the statutes. Very truly yours, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS It. L.

HERE IS A CHANCE TO LEARN ABOUT POWER FARMING Special Entertainment To Bo Given Free. The O. F. Biglin Implement Com pany have completed all arrange ments for their extensive Power Farm ing entertainments to be held on Feb ruary 15th 1928, at the Biglin build ing. They have made arrangements with i the speakers, secured the motion pic ! tures, and made arrangements for an ! appetizing lunch to be served at noon. That part of the program dealing with the care of the tractor wdl be in charge of the International Har vester Company and will be thor oughly practical in every way. The men in charge have been handling tractor^ many years and not only know the tractor from the standpoint of theory, but can operate them and give you the benefit of their practical experience. They will be anxious to answer your questions. Several reels of motion pictures will be shown. These pictures will bring to the people the latest methods of farming in other sections of the | country. j Farming today is dependent on vol ume production—that is, the produc ' ing of more per person on the farm. By increasing the volume per person | the cost of production is materially decreased. One of the objectives of th is entertainment is to bring through ' pictures and otherwise, experiences ; of the outstanding farmers of the I present day. Trenfnr o nrl Kor nrncon^rlfiv equipment will be on display to offer a first-class study of the various me chanical Jeatures. Several new machines have been introduced in the past few years, some of which are making their appearance in our neigh borhood for the first time. Come and eoe for yourself how these machines operate and what, their effect will be on crop production. Do not forget the date—every pro gressive farmer should be there. Make your plans now, bring the entire family, and spend the whole day. Be prompt. J. H.
