ern part of the city last Friday even
ing. Mrs. S. A. Liddell won the high
score prize; Mrs. Roy Warner was

The Lions Club held their usual
Tuesday noon lunch at the Grand
Cale. The calf day was discussed in
detail; many features were discussed
that are of vital interest to the farm
ers in this vicinity; the farmers who
are interested in the better cattle
movement should discuss the calf day
movement with the members of the
club. A membership drive was in
augurated and several committees
were appointed to call upon the busi
ness men and those interested m the
promotion of O’Neill and give them a
chance to join the Lions Club. A.
fairly good attendance is recorded at
each meeting Several new members
have been added to the club during
the past few days.
AN EXPLANATION
A number of our good customers
have suggested that we make this
explanation through the press. The
idea seems to be quite prevalent and
growing, that our WNAX fair price
station is a chain organization, which
is NOT true. We simply buy our
petroleum products through Gurney
because with his big bulk buying we
are able to buy cheaper than we
could independently. All the house
of Gurney gets out of the proposi
tion is a small advertising fee. We ab
solutely have our own money invest
ed in spite of the propaganda being
spread to the contrary. Every dollar
is kept at home and being spent in
O’Neill. The country people have
stood by us in a most wonderful way
but we have not received the support
of the town people that we should.
We know our business is perfectly
legitimate and we believe in it. We
have just passed our first six months
here and believe O’Neill, with its
strategic location is in line to be one
of the leading towns in the north
west and we are here to stay.
Thanking you for your patronage.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES
Benj. Kuhler, Pastor
Last Sunday seemed to be the day
for going to see Uncle Bill and Aunt
Sally. Let us bring them along to
church and Sunday School next Sun
day. We were not satisfied with the
S. S. record last Sunday. Several
tried to make it better but we could
not find the folks there. Long ago
the Psalmist said, “Trust in the Lord
and do good, so shall thou dwell in
the land and verily thou shalt be
fed.” There is Religious faith, serv
ice to man, political stability and
economic security. There is no use
trying to bring about better times
without religion. It never worked.
Dr. Bixby, the Nebraska poet, said
this week in the State Journal, that
without the churches, civilization re
trogrades, community welfare is re
tarded, and that the necessity for
sustaining and supporting the church
is not a question for argument.
Mr. Rogers, of Ainsworth, who
spoke at the Men’s meeting last
Thursday, showed by various exam
ples that Christianity and successful
business can not only work together
but seems to be doing it in many out
standing cases in America. While he
did not mention it the writer happens
to know that he is a good example
himself. He is one of the most active
and successful Christian laymen in
the church and out of it we know.
His busines does not get in the way
of his religion, nor does his religion
interfere with his business. Chris
tianity never was intended to be a
patronage affair, nor does it ever
succeed in that atmosphere.
Well, remember we have Sunday
School at 10 a. m., with classes for
all ages.
Epworth League at 7 p. m.

last Sunday it will be just as inter
esting next Sunday, we assure you.
