been for more than twenty years,
and we hope you will continue to
take your cream to the same old
place, THE HANFORD CREAM

The Prize Winners
Fourteen boys and girls, winners of
the Chicago and North Western Rail
way’s prize trips to Chicago, will
leave this week-end to attend the
International Live Stock Exposition
to be held November 28 to December

100 trips given by the North Western.
The winners are as follows:
Dorothy Smith of Plainview, Oscar
Skanderup of Albion, Doris Dolison
of David City, Carol Paulus of Har
vard, Henry Rabeler of Leigh, Roland
Nelson of West Point, Carcus Deans
of Chadron, Ernest Schmidt of Fre
mont, Edna Nunns of Geneva, Irene

These boys and girls are going on
trips which are given every year by

of live stock and in home economics.
The selection was left entirely up to
the State agricultural authorities and
the State schools working hrough
County agricultural agents.
The prize trip in each case is equal
to the cost of one round trip ticket to
Chicago from the station at which
the winner lives, the ticket being good
during the period of the International
Live Stock Exposition.
Methodist Church Notes
Sunday School at 10:00 A. M.—Just
as well make up our minds that win
ter is here and come on anyway.
Morning Worship 11:00 A. M.—We
are hearing a good deal of favorable
comment about the Gospel themes be
ing used which have been centering
about the Cross.
Sickness made inroads on the pro
gram the Young folk had planned
for last Sunday night. But they went
thru with it with what material they
had.
Epworth League again next Sunday
at 6:30.
Regular preaching services at 7:30.
We are using the Sermon on the
Mount for our evening themes. Hear
how Christ talks straight to us and
not about us to others. Yet he never
retaliates when His truth is rejected.
He leaves it with us and the world
and it accomplishes victory in due
time.
There was considerable merriment
Tuesday night at the “Twin Party”
entertainment in the church basement,
sponsored by the Ladies Aid and Mr.
Burch, the latter with his helpers
proving quite efficient in the serving
department, also.
D. W. Gimmell and William Be I
ford, assistant manager Internation
al Harvester Co., located at Omaha,
going east on 20 and 8, turned over
on the highway at Charley Grass’
north of Page yesterday. Neither
men were hurt but the car, a new
Chevrolet belonging to Mr. Gimmell,
was damaged so as to require a
wrecker to haul it to O’Neill.
Ralph Bauman and Elvaetta M.
Bellinger, both of O’Neill, obtained a
marriage license at Judge Malone's
office Saturday last.

The program as outlined should
prove of interest to everyone. Mr.
Lawrence in his talk, deals with a
I subject that is of vital importance.
| The election of Board members to
I direct the policies of the organiza
! tion concerns all those interested in
j the Extension Program.
Slock Prefer Warm Wafer
Animate drink more when the water
I temperatures are right and hens lay
more eggs if they drink more water.
Some hog feeding experiments indic
ate a 10 to 15 per cent saving in feed
by having warm water instead of ice
water in the winter, according to the
Agricultural College. It is fairly well
established that much better results
can be secured by using water directly
from the well at well temperatures
than by using ice water.
No one likes to pump water by hand
as a as a regular farm chore. Neither
does anyone like to chop and remove
ice from the stock tanks. Few people,
successfully operate a tank heater in
extremely cold weather. All of these
tasks' show very little definite return
but becomenecessary on many farms.
Choesing the task that pays best of
all depends on individual cases. Usual
ANNOUNCEMENT
I have purchased the O’Neill Gass and Oil Station
and took possession December 1. I know you will
miss your good friend Fred, but we will do our best
to give you the same good service that he has al
ways given.
We will appreciate your patronage.

ly, however, pumping the fresh water
as the stock need it is the best pay
ing of these last three named tasks.
Chopping ice out of tanks does not
change the temperature of the water;
often the tank heater docs very little
more than to keep the ice from form
ing on the heater itself.
Feeding for Eggs
If the purpose of feeding is to pro
duce eggs it will be necessary to feed
the hens the materials required for
making eggs. We may as well state
in the beginning that grains alone will
not insure profitable winter production.
It is here that we find a good egg
mash indispensible. The more mash
hens eat, usually the more eggs they
will lay. But let it be understood that
when hens have their choice of grain
or mash they will eat the grain. It
is for this reason that it is sometimes
necessary to force the hens to eat the
mash. This is done by giving them
less grain than they woul like to have
and in this way keeping them slightly
hungry so they will go to the mash
hopper for for their complete fill.
The complaint that "my hens will
not eat the mash" suggests that too
much grain has been fed the hens. It
may be that heavy feeding of grain
has not been intentional, perhaps the
hens have had access to grain bins or
waste grain about the farm. This in
a large measure will explain why good
poultrymen find it to their advantage
to keep the hens confined to their lay
ing houses throughout the winter. This
is especially advisable for the pullets
that are kept for production only. The
hens that are for breeding purposes
only may be allowed to run. Write
the Farm Bureau Office for details re
garding feeds and feeding.
Straw I.oft Insulation
Poultry houses ure made more com
fortable when insulated. The use of
straw provides a simple and inexpen
sive form of insulation that has given
satisfactory results. A common
method of putting in the straw loft
has been put in a false ceiling of two
inch mesh wire nettin and cover it
with a layer of straw.
By putting in 2x4 supports from
front to back and about four feet a
part, the wire can be quite securely
attached so that it will hold the straw
without sagging. If the wire strips
are placed along two or three inches
apart and then pulled together before
being tacked through the center of
the building, they can be made much
tighter than when streched from end
to end.

THE COUNTY PRESS
Ewing Advocate: Mrs. R. B. Crel
lin was painfully burned about the
face, neck and arms Tuesday morning
when she attempted to take a pan of
burning fat outdoors. The pan caught
fire in the oven of the kitchen stove,
and as she started for the kitchen
door, she slipped and fell, the pan of
burning fat spilling on her. Her left
arm was severely burned, and she will
not be able to use it for some time.
Inman Leader: A petition was cir
culated in Inman Tuesday by Mrs.
Grace Davis and signed by everybody
in town, petitioning Governor Hartly
of the state of Washington to com
mute the sentence of Hubert Niccols

Flannigans home in Omaha. The boy
who is 12 years old was recently con
victed and sentenced to life imprison
ment for the murder of John Wormel,
sheriff of Asotin, W'ash.
Stuart Advocate: Following close
ly on the heels of the Advocate’s an
nouncement of last week that the
state department of Trade and Com
merce would soon pay out 10 per cent
of the deposits in the defunct Citizens'
Bank of Stuart, the cheeks were re
ceived for the amounts anticipated.
Letters accompanying the checks in
timated thet another “dividend’

known exactly how much money is
released into this community, the de
posits of the bank were more than
$300,000 and the majority of it was
to the credit of local folks.

Page Reporter: The Antelope county
board of Supervisors last week ad
opted a resolution, whereby the people
of Antelope county w’ill have no road
tax to pay for 1932, as the board will
not levy any tax for the purpose of
buuiimg or maintaining county roads,
using only the money dervied from
gasoline tax and car licenses. ... On
Wednesday of last week, Mr. Buv.
Wanser of Page sold over 1000 head
of hogs at the livestock sale at his
sale pavilion south of the depot. While
we are not bragging—the fact re
mains that we have heard of large
pavilions in small cities that brag of
selling that many hogs at one sale.
Mr. Wanser is fast bringing Pag.e te

School Children
in Greece H rite
Holt Co. Schools
By lli«* County Supeinu-tuli til
This office has received le.tei- of
thanks from school pupils in Greece
for Christmas boxes sent last year.
About fifty boxes were sent to the
National Red Cross by the school
children of Holt County to be for
warded to foreign children. These j
boxes were distributed to different
foreign countries. Some of the let
ters received were written by the
foreign children and were not accom
panied by translate ns and for others
the translations alone were sent. Un
fortunately the acknowledgements do
not state from what school the boxes
were received so it will be impossible
to send them to individual schools.
Following are a number of the trans
lations as received:

*■ — .. .. ■ ■ —' - ■ ‘---*
Buy a small rubber sponge and break It Into live pieces. Holding these
in your hand, pass two to a person in your audience, instructing him to close
his hand over them. Pick two more from your hand and press them together
between your fingers so they appear as one. Hand these also to the person,
who upon receiving them closes his hand and is then told that he holds three
pieces of the sponge. Pretend that you are placing the remaining piece in his
pocket, telling him at the same time that you will make it vanish from his
pocket into tils hand. Upon opening itis hand, he Gnds that he holds four
pieces Instead of the supposed three.
