Many of our farmers are ridding

farmer in permitting this weed to
thrive will often cause others a great

to you." Cut the burs.

taiwly do a great deal toward the up
building of the churches.
Frank Moore suffered quite a serious

The keen cutting instrument slipped
from the limb and passing downward
struck Mr. Moore on the arm between
the hand and the elbow, indicting an
ugly wound fully six inches long and
most an inch in depth. There is noth
ing dangerous about the affair, but
very painful and will cause Mr. Moore
to take several day's rest from his
daily duties about the farm.
FIFTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
Many Friends of Mrs. Wm. Morrow Gather
at Her Home Tuesday to Duly Cele
brate the Occasion Properly.
Tuesday of this week was Mrs. Wm
Morrow's iifty-tifth birthday anniver
sary, and in honor of this occasion
about ninety friends of this most esti
mable lady gathered at her home to
spend the day. Upon several occasions
Mrs. Morrow has expressed her desire
for such a celebration, as this is the
last year she expects to remain on the
farm, it being her intention to either
sell the place or rent it, so Mrs. Mc
Donald and daughter, Florence, Mrs.
F. M. Young, sr., and Mrs. A. L. Baker
planned the affair that was carried
out to such a successful end.
The merry visitors had prepared
many well-tilled baskets with all the
good things to cat and at noon long
tables were placed in the yard and all
given a hearty invitation to help them
selves.
As has been the custom in this vi
cinity upon such occasions the host or
hostess is given something in the way
of a present to remember the occasion
and also the friends in attendance.
Mrs. Morrow was presented with a
very line gold watch and chain. .
The Journal acknowledges the re
ceipt of a kind invitation to be pre
sent, but were sorr' we were unable to
attend for well we knew what a tine
time they would have.
Mrs. Morrow is one the old residents
of Cass county, and her many friends
trust that when she decides to leave
the farm her future home will be made
very close to Murray. The following
were those present:

If you do not need a range attend
this affair anyway. You will meet
your friends here. Everybody is
coming. It will pay you to learn
the good qualities of this Range
The "Stay Satisfactory'R&nge
is superior to all others. Hot Coffee and Delicious Biscuits
will be served every day FREE, and will demonstrate the
working of the Monarch Range. Will also give, absolutely
free, with each Monarch Range sold during this demonstra
tion a full set of Monarch Cooking Ware, or a 59-Piece Dinner
Set of handsomely decorated semi-porcelain ware. There is
no advance in the price of the range on account of this special
offer, and in the future you will pay the same price for the
range without the ware, Remember, you can have your choice
FOR THIS WEEK ONLY-
It's Poor Policy
to buy a cheap range, and then spend
half its cost the first year in repairs
and increased fuel bills.
A "Monarch" will give you $2 more
value for every dollar expended than
an inferior range. It's all in the con
struction. See them on exhibition at
Underwood's next week.
For which we will pay the highest market price any day in
the week, delivered at the creamery in Murray.
This week we are paying for
Old Hens, per pound, - S cts
nring Chickens, per pound, 9 cts
Roosters, per dozen, - $2.40
on't forget we always pay
st Market Price in Cash !
Verdict for Defendant.
In the matterof the Sandwich Man
ufacturing Company vs. Wm. Crosser
to recover on two notes of $100 each,
came up before Judge Archer Wednes
day and resulted in a verdict of the jury
for defendant. Crosser had given two
notes with Robert Shrader as security
tbeir payment. When the machine
was returned to the company for some
cause, it is claimed that the company
was to return the notes. Instead a
credit for $3 was given on one of the
notes and the company demanded
payment for the balance. C. S. Polk
appeared for the plaintiff and Gering
for the defendant. The jury was com
posed of A. Dill, M. E. Maespeaker,
Riley Jones and M. M. Beal.
A Fuel Question.
How much of the coal put into the I
kitchen range is actually burned? Well
that's a question.
If it's a Monarch Range, it s safe to
say "all of it."
The duplex draft is the reason why
a damper door in Iront and one in the
back. Two currents of air from oppo
site directions naturally create a per
fect draft and consume all the fuel.
When the ash-pan is emptied, you'll
notice there is isn't a bit of coal in it.
That means money in the pocket-book.
The working of this great invention
will be explained to you at Under
wood's hardware store next week.
The Monarch Malleable Range
Mr. and Mrs. XV. S. Smith went to
Omaha Tuesday to do some buying for
the firm of Holmes & Smith.
SS Superior because it is made of
malleable iron and steel and
will not crack or break, nor warp
with three times the abuse that
would destroy other kinds.
A A
It cannot open up in the seams
or joints and increase the amount
of fuel required even after years
of use.
It has polished top and polished
steel body, requiring no blacking
or painting to keep it looking as
nice as new.
A A
It has the wonderful duplexdraft
which can bo had on no other
range, and which must be exam
ined to be appreciated.
