MR. AND MRS. W.

BRATE ANNIVERSARY
The matter of oil in Cass county
seems to have been given new life
by the appearance in the locality of
"Murray by representatives of the
Carter Oil company, who are securing
leases on land in all the localities pes
sible, and who will continue the work
of scekig for oil. This company seem?
to mean business as they are payin '
the farmers oOc an acre for the o
rights on their land for a period of
live years and will undertake the
work a.s they state without asking a
cent from the land owners or anyone-
else ami either locate oil or know the
reason why. The new company oilers
to the farmers 'n addition to the price
for the lease on the oil rights, the
proposition that if oil is found on an
oi tne larms the owner is to receive
i ro3-alt on the oil taken from his
land. Th.-y will drill and undertake
id I the work necessary to carry out
the search for oil without asking the
farmers or anyone else to contribute
to the cost of the same and this makes
the prospects for oil look rather rosy
despite the fact of the failure of the
recent operations v.t Union to locate
i paying oil well. The activity of the
representatives of the Carter com
pany have been in the vicinity of
"Murray and Nehawka and the resi
dents of these localities have been verv
much pleased with the fact that this
company has come in on their own
responsibility to undertake the work
of searching for oil and have not
asked the citizens to donate towards
carrying on the work.
It would certainly seem that there
is some good indications of the fact
that Cass countv has all the favoraMe
indications of having oi
A STRANGE PARTY PASSING
THROUGH COUNTY ON FOOT
Yesterday a very strange locking
party passed through the neighbor
hood four miles southwest of this
cityheaded from Omaha to northern
M'ssouri. The party consisted of a
woman and two boys apparently rdv.t
fifteen or sixteen years of age and a
7:umber of children who were racing
along the road and apparently enjoy
ing themselves very much. A push j
cult served to carry the equipage of
the expedition and all of the party
were on foot with the exception of the
youngest tot which perched in the
cart and enjoyed being pushed along.
The party stopped out near the FouV
.Mile Creek on the Louisville road
where they had dinner and it con
sisted of a few vegetables that had
been accumulated along the road. The
party informed several of the people
living along the way that they had
been several days on the way from
Omaha and certainly were in tough
luck in making their way along in
this manner.

geautrful Geldenrod was used in the
table decorations. The knives and
forks were of wood, while the place

which were tied with yellow ribbon,
making a most pleasing and novel
feature of the dinner. The dinner
was served in four courses by Misses

evening was spent most delightfully

departed homeward wishing Mr. and

anniversaries of happy wedded life.
GASOLINE THIEVES ARE NOW
TRYING OUT THEIR HAND
Last evening sometime, someone
made a raid on a large tank of gaso
line that was setting in the vicinity
of the elevator at Mynard, and as a
result of the visit W. F. Gillespie, the
manager of the elevator, is shy several
gallons of the fluid that furnished the
power for the joy rider. Mr. Gillespie
as well as Sheriff Quinton have a
pretty good line on the parties who
took the gasoline, and they would do
well to come across with the money
for the gasoline before it causes them
more grief. It would have been just
as easy for the parties to have called
and asked for the gasoline as to have
taken it in the manner they did and
with the result that it is likely to
land them in trouble unless it is set
tled for at once.

A SPLENDID RECORD
FOR CORN PRODUCED
DURING THIS SEASON
FOR SALE.
1
Frank Schlichtemeier, one of the
leaing farmers in the vicinity of Ne
hawka has made a record for corn
this year that is going to be hard to
beat for good corn and. the yield is
exceptionally heavy. This season Mr.
Schlictemeier plowed eighteen acres
of alfalfa ground that had been liber
ally treated with fertilizer. The
land was plowed twice, listed, culti
vated twice and harrowed. He has
just husked two rows of the -corn and
the result has greatly surprised him
for the splendid yield shown, weighing
it contained . eighty pounds to the
bushel, it weighed out -11 bushels and
thirty pounds on the two rows, 157
rods long. The owner expects to get
1,800 bushels from the eighteen acres.
A good many of the ears measures
ten to twelve inches. This is a splen
did showing on the eighteen acres and
demonstrates what can be done in the
way of scientific farming which will
increase the crops and give the land
better treatment and the process of
Mr. Schlictemeier in treating his land
had a great effect on the splendid re
sults secured. This is the best show
ing made as yet in the 1916 corn crop
and it is going to make anyone get up
and go some to beat the yield secured
on the Schlictemeier farm and it
speaks well for the possibilities of
farming is Cass county.
MRS. JENNINGS NOT SO WELL.

pital in Omaha state that Mrs. T. E.
