The minute an omelet is hot from the pan, it is puffed up,
tender ... at its best.. .. And the minute vegetables are fresh
from the garden, all their flavor, all their juice are at their
high point.
The way to have white wax beans while they are tender;
and carrots when so crisp they cook creamy before they are
creamed . . . the way to have all vegetables at their climax*
lime of freshness, is to pick them from a garden of your own.
And the way to grow vegetables approaching perfection is to
plant Ferry's purebred Seeds.
These seeds arc perfected the way breeders perfect cattle.
A Ferry-bred tomato is no more like an ordinary tomato than
Ferry’s sweet corn is like horse corn. Find Ferry’s purebred
Seeds at the “store around the corner.” And write for Ferry’s
Seed Annual. This gives you 73 years’ experience in gardens
before you start—news of mulch paper—and even of better
ways to cook vegetables. D. M. Ferry & Go., Detroit, Michigan.
P. S.-THE GARDENER hAS NO SECOND CHANCE. FLANT THE BEST.

and family, L. Prouty and family,
and Jennie Schultz drove in covered
wagons from Wisconsin to Nebraska
and faced the hardships of entering
an unsettled and undeveloped coun
try; at that time Wisner, Nebruska,
was off the railroad. The colony re
mained together and settled at a
place one mile southwest of O’Neill
Nebraska, and named it Rockford.
One year later the O’Neill colony
came to what is now the city of
O’Neill and the name was changed
to O’Neill, Nebraska.
The memory of Frank Bitney will
linger in the minds of the early set
tlers and those who knew him as one
of the real pioneers who located here
and braved the Indians and helped
make Holt County the good country
that it is today.
Later Mr. Bitney moved to what is
now Atkinson and laid out and plat
ted the town of Atkinson and con
ducted a mercantile store therein for
a number of years. He donated sites
for many public purposes in Atkin
son and became one of the principal
factors of the community.
He was born in the year 1845.
He and two brothers fought in the
Civil War with the Twenty-third
Wisconsin.
He leaves three sons, Herbert of
Atkinson, who was the first white
child born in Holt county; Robert of
Fremont, and Fred of Grass Valley,
California; his wife and daughter,
Phoebe, having preceded him in
death.

"A DISTINCTLY FINER GASOLINE"
I_ _ - -
in every way
NOTHING LESS than definite superiority could account for the instant
acceptance given the new Red Crown Gasoline —for its fast-growing
popularity in town and country — for trucks, tractors and passenger cars!
This distinctly finer gasoline gives instant power for split-second starts —
powerful pickup and smart getaway—mastery of hard hills and heavy going
on high gear — less frequent gear shifting in slow-moving traffic — absence
of gas knocks—unrivalled power—low gas cost per mile!
Amazing motor performance — plus economy — plus easier, pleasanter,
safer driving! Better in every way—no wonder the new Red Crown Ethyl
makes friends and keeps them!
Fill your tank with new Red Crown Ethyl —a luxury, not an extravagance.
