and we will always have a good hotel.
Threshing has been on in full force
in this locality for the past few davs,
and the small grain is turning out in
good shaoe. There never was a better
quality of wheat grown here. There
has been a greater amount to the acre.
but never a better quality. There are
three machines running full blast near
' - 'wn, anu tney are all runnine lull
capacity. Over at Ed. Wagner's the
test is standing up to (51 pounds with
an average of 27 bushels to the acre.
This wheat has been sold on the Cedar
Creek market, and brought 97c, which
is a cent or two under the present
market. At Walter Schneider's the
the test is just the same, with about
the same average per acre. The oats
crop is running good also.
On last Monday night there were
about fifteen of the citizens of Cedar
Creek and vicinity took the automo
bile route for Omaha to attend the
festivities at the Ak-Sar-Ben den. It
was not the night that the promoters
of this trip had planned, as they fig
ured and planned on full 100 from
here going up. but the busy season on
the farm kept the farmers and their
help at home. As it was Cedar Creek
proper was pretty well represented.
There was the banker, the blacksmith,
the general merchant, the grain buyer,
the section boss, the doctor and a few
: farmers, with the promise that the
lumberman and the barber would go,
but the two latter failed to make con
nections and missed the big train.
The trip was made via the auto route,
and the three big cars of Cedar Creek
was in the train, J. F. Wolff, with his
big Studebaker, J. F. P'oreman with
Ibis long Henry T. Ford and Henrv
Heebner with his great big seventeen
eylinder Nyberg, the speediest and
mightiest of them all. The journey
was a pleasant one for all the boys,
with only a slight accident on the re
turn with the fleeting Nyberg. Henry
was sailing along merrily, and sudden
ly came upon a spot along the highway
where the rain had slightly favored
that section of the country and the
car skidded to one side of the road,
and slightly bent the frort axel to the
car, not even enough to mar the pleas-
ure of the trip, and this damage was
unknown to Mr. Heebner until he ar
rived home. This slight accident was
the cause of Mr. Heebner arriving at
Cedar Creek in third place, where he
would of headed the train with ease.

A MIGHTY GOOD MARKSMAN
From "Wednesday's Dally.
One of the young men of the city
who prides himself on his markes
nianship with a riflt had a joke play
ed on him the other day that lie real
ly did not relish and which a number
of his relatives were in on. It seems
that at this place a great many
young chickens have been taken by
the ground- squirrels and weazels and
to get rid of the pests an armed
guard is maintained to kill them off
and has been meeting with much suc
cess. The young man in question on
returning home at noon discerned
with his eagle eye a squirrel in the
vicinity of the chicken yard and rush
ed in to secure the trusty 42-centimeter
and soon the ground in the vi
cinity of the squirrel was riddled
with bullets but. there was not a
movement on the part of Mr. Squirrel
and it was not until a great deal of
ammunition had been used up that it
was found that the squirrel was one
that had been dead for several days.

"THE WHOLE TRUTH"
Says Mrs. Each, in Writing Her
Praise For CarduL
Circleville, Ohio. "All I have said
about Cardui, the woman's tonic, is
the whole truth," says Mrs. Fannio
Eads, of R. F. D. No. 6, this town.
"I suffered with womanly weakness,
and pains in my back and limbs for
two long years. I was bo bad off, I
could hardly walk at all.
My husband advised me to try
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I con
cluded to follow his advice. After tak
ing Cardui according: to directions, I
now feel like a new woman, and can
do all of my work.
Before taking Cardui, I was a walk
ing skeleton; now I weigh 150 pounds.
I recommend Cardui to every suf
fering woman, for I know what it did
for me. My dresser is never without a
bottle of Cardui on it."
There is no reason why Cardui
won't help you, just as it has Mrs.
Eads, as well as hundreds of thou
sands of other women in the past 50
years. So if you suffer from any of
the many ailments so common to
women, or need a good strengthening
tonic for that tired, nervous, worn-out
feeline, get a bottle of Card-u-i,
today. At all druggists. NCB2
