fKnow Your Milk You wouldn’t want milk at any price if you knew it wasn’t “safe”—and you douldn’t wan’t “safe” milk put in unclean bottles. i r ' ■* mt |t , Pasteurization is the only sure way of pure milk. Our dairy provides modern and scientific ma chinery to pasteurize “thoroughly”— specially arranged equipment per- ! mits making each bottle absolutely sterile. You don’t like to think of milk being bottled by human hands if avoidable—and you surely don’t want milk handled in unsanitary surround ings. Our dairy is equipped with an automatic bottler—it is also scru pulously clean. Inspect it. Choese Sanitary Dairy milk for its purity, its goodness,its pro tection to public health. It costs no more and in so doing you will also get a milk superior in keeping quali ties because we make it so. The minute Sanitary Dairy milk leaves the bottler, it is imme diately chilled to icy coldness. This arrests the growth of lactic-acid and the milk is then kept tinner re frigeration until it goes on the route to you. | Know your dairy—know your milk. We give the maximum protection and service and no other milk sold in O’Neill will pass Sanitary Dairy qualifications. Phone and place a regular order. Delivery leaves daily at 4:30 p. m.

(Uncle Pete in the St. Louis Post-Dis patch.) , Beaver Flats, Neb. James Seymour, star route mail carrier between Beaver Flats and Swan Lake, 60 miles southwest of here, will use sandhill cranes for the transporation of the mail over his route beginning this month. Six months of experimentation in the use of cranes as carriers of burdens, by Seymour, has proved the feasibility of the scheme and that two round trips a day may be made without over working the cranes, as compared to one trip a day with present means of transportation. The idea of using1 cranes as mail carriers first suggested itself to Sey mour a year ago last spring, when he found a nest of crane eggs while hunt ing in the sandhills near Swan Lake and took them home and hatched them out under a common hen. The little cranes grew up as pets. As soon as they were able to fly they would take long journeys daily, always returning, however, at nights ! and at feeding times. Grasshoppers, J their owner soon discovered, were par ; ticularly delicious morsels on their ■ bills of fare; and that the birds would ; travel distances for a feed of the pre ferred insects, also was learned. Sey mour accordingly began carrying grasshoppers in his pockets to feed t his cranes, and soon induced them to I follow the automobile when he started out on the mail route, for a feed of \ grasshoppers at the first stop. From this it was but a short step : to provideing grasshopper luncheons | at fixed hours at the several points | along the mail route and the cranes soon began to make the trips alone, and returning home to roost after , completion of the outbound journey. The problem of inducing the birds to carry extra weight was a little more difficult to overcome. At first small packages were attached to their legs, but this proved unsatisfactory as the cranes had difficulty in leaving the ground and getting into the air. Then the weights were attached to collars about the birds’ necks, which enabled them to get away easily and to fly without overbalancing. Each adult crar.o loaded in this manner can carry from 12 to 15 pounds. Six cranes will be required to carry the mail each way, each one carrying a pouch for some one of the several postoffices along the route. Only first-class mail will be carried by the birds, heavier mail and parcel I post being transported several times ! a week by auto truck as at present. ; Large quantities of grasshoppers were ! caught, dried and stored at the several ' postoffices on the mail route last fall to assure successful operation of the crane mail until the new crop of hop pers is ripe this summer. -.... , , - MRS WILLIAM MEYER . AND BABY Bl'RNED I - Mrs. William Meyer and baby were quite severely burned about the chest and head last Monday morning. Mrs. Meyer and baby were alone at their home in the southwestern part of O’Neill; Mrs. Meyer endeavored to stimulate the fire in a small heating stove by throwing some kerosene onto the coals; everything would have been alright if the match she lighted had not gone out before she reached the | stove; while she was getting another ‘ match considerable gas accumulated in the stove, which exploded when she threw in the lighted match. The baby was near the stove and was burned some on the chest and neck; Mrs. Meyer received her burns when she endeavored to extinguish the flame that surrounded the baby. The burns are not serious and the patients are getting along nicely. 2VEoTrecL?| To New Location I As we have moved into our own building just west of the Royal fr Theatre, we are anxious to have our old customers, and as many? j new ones as can, to call and see us and for one week— Beginning Saturday, March 10 and I Continuing One Week 1 We are going to offer you an inducement to come and see j v our new store. | Our Offer: § H To all who call on us during the week we will sell you any goods ^ S we have in the store at— t I Discount 15 Per Cent I We make only one exception—Our Perfection Oil Stoves, which is a standard price over the entire country.
