A RACE MEET BEING
PLANNED FOR JULY 3-4-5
Peter W. Duffy informs The Fron

are now under way for the securing

has ever been put over in this part
of the state. We will endeavor to

HOLT COUNTY FAIR
SEPTEMBER 18-19-20-21
The dates for the Holt County Fair
this year will be Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, September 18,
19, 20 and 21. Dan Desdune and his
his famous band have already been
engaged for the three last days and
will be here with their band and en
tertainers. The two tumblers who
tumbled around the bases at the
opening games of the world’s series
at the Polo Grounds in New' York
City last October have also been en
gaged and will do their stunts in the
free act program this year.
BRICK BATS.
The magazines and story books are
full of false alarms; they tell of girls
who have the looks forsaking towms
and farms. According to these lurid
tales the country is too slow, and so
they rklle the shining rails to where
ther’s room to grow. If you read one
you read them all—the girl runs out
of cash; she gets a room just off the
hall und starts to slinging hash. One
day some gvezer, with a hat that’f
shiny black and high, while dining
there right off the bat picks up out
butterfly. He buys for her a grand
revue that shows on old Broadway;
he buys her frocks and dresses new
her fame has come to stay. And ther
she meets a millionaire, good looking
young and nice, who starts to love hei
then and there—that’s all; it will
suffice. This type of story is the rage
it’s read from sea to sea by work
man, porter, judge and sage, who havt
a moment free. There is no sense tc
such a tale, far fetched.1 and far frorr
true; but heroes in them never fail—
that’s why we read them, too.—Briel
Smith.

Winter Puts Heavy Strains
on Every Auto Battery
At zero, Fahrenheit, a fully charged
storage battery has only a little more
than half its normal power, and a
rundown battery will freeze.
And in winter there are fewer long
drives to restore the battery’s power.
When the car stands, the engine and
transmission oil congeals and thus
more current is used each time the
engine is started.
In winter, nothing less than a full
powered battery can be satisfactory.
Have your battery inspected today.
And if you do need a new one, by
all means get your Ford battery now
—for safety, comfort and economy. |
All Ford owners
are entitled to our
inspection service
Come in toda>
Have the fluid
checked and ter
minals cleaned
and greased.
