BRICK BATS. “The clothing business is the line,” Mice said a man named Frat, “that I will surely claim for mine, just paste that in your hat. All men must buy some kind of clothes, from suits to underwear, straw hats, white shirts and silken hose, the outlook seems real fair.” So Frat planked down his kale ind bought a clothing store, he bought it all, lock, stock and rail and opened up the door. The start he made was very good and so he felt quite sure that if he kept on sawing wood, his business would endure. But when he bad the place a week, somebody had u sale, also a peddler far from meek took in a pile of kale. His customers bought things on time and then for got to pay, to him such backsets were •• unu ou nv i|uu u; niay, l lit* I I? is no business in the land that’s per fect, safe and sure. The bad points grow to beat the band and one can not endure unless he plans, with them to cope and take the bad with good.

To the Honorable Board of Supervi sors of Holt County, Nebraska: Gentlemen: On the 25th day of April, 1927, The O’Neill Woman’s Club of O’Neill, Nebraska, most re spectfully gave this Honorable Board to understand and be informed that Lots One (1) to Eight (8), inclusive, in Block Thirteen (13) in the Origi nal Town of O’Neill, Holt County, Ne braska, the same being the North North Half (N*4) of Block Thirteen (IS), is owned by the County of Holt, and is vacant property and has been vacant property ever since the or ganization of the town of O’Neill; that The O’Neill Woman’s Club of O’Neill, Nebraska, at that time respectfully requested a lease of said property for a period of ninety-nine (99) years, or a shorter period if this Honorable Board did not see fit to extend a lease for the period; that The O’Neill Wo man’s Club desired said property to be used as a memorial park to the Soldiers of the World War, and ex pect, if the lease is ganted to The O’Neill Woman’s Club, to beautify said property by planting trees, flow ers and making other improvements thereon. It was stated in said application made by The O’Neill Woman’s Club of O’Neill. Nebraska, as follows: “It will be with the understanding that if the County of Holt should at any time in the future, desire said prop erty for the erection of a Court House. the applicant herein will immediately surrender the possession to said premises, and relinquish their rights under said lease.” And whereas, on the 25th day of April, 1927, a Resolu tion was duly passed by this Honor able Board leasing said property to the O’Neill Woman’s Club for a pe riod of fifty (50) years to be used for the purposes above stated, but that in drawing said resolution, through inadvertence or mistake, the Resolution contained, among others, the following provisions; “That there be a stipulation in said lease and an understanding with said club that they will relinquish all rights under said agreement and vacate said prem ises at any time during the term of said lease that the County Board of Holt County may desire said property for County purposes” when the origi nal agreement and arrangement was that The O’Neill Woman’s Club of O’Neill was to vacate said property at any time in the future that the County of Holt desired said property for the erection of a County Court House.

Yeats of Service I *n Model T Fords I Expenditure of few dollars may I enable you to get thousands of miles I from your old car || THE Model T Ford is still a great car. It led thie motor industry for twenty years and it is used today by more people | than any other automobile. More than eight million Model I ,T Fords are in active service in city, town and country, and § many of them can be driven for two, three and five years and I even longer at very small up-keep expense. The cost of Model T parts and of necessary labor is unusually low because of established Ford policies. \ New fenders, for instance, cost from #3.50 to #5 each, with a labcvr charge of #1 to #2.50. Tuning up the motor and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points | costs only #1, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor charge of only #1.25. A labor charge of #4 to #5 will cover the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing springs and spring perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheels. The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle runs from $5.75 to $7. Grinding valves and cleaning carbon can be done for $3 to $4. i A set of four new pistons costs only $7. For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled. Parts are extra. All of these prices are approximate, of course, because the cost of materials needed will depend on the condition of each car. They show, however, the low cost of putting the Model T Ford in shape for thousands of miles of additional service. See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and have him estimate on the cost of re-conditioning your Model T Ford. He will tell you, in advance, exactly how much the complete job will cost.
