FINE WHEAT CROPS. Threshing in this community for the past few days has been consum ing all the time of the farmers. The small grain crop is going beyond the expectations of most of the farmers in this locality. We have been in formed that Dave Eaton had a pieco of wheat on the bottom land-east of Tin ion that made an average of 4 0 bushels to the acre, and the quality is exceptionally good. Other pieces pro running aa low as eighteen, and a very few may be lower. It has been estimated that the average will be in keeping with other years. The armors are also saving every grain that 13 possible this season aiso, as they have prepared tight boxes for their racks and have spread canvass under all the machines, thus saving every kernel that may drop from the straw or machine. It has been esti mated by the government that a sav ing of 3,000,000 bushels can be made over the entire country. Will and Gus Splitt spent Sunday with Charley Creamer and wife.

"'; Plattsmouth, Neb. Our Service And What It Means to You We Have a Joint Interest in This Community And We Wish to Join With You in Every Way to Promote the Community's Interests. In a sense, this community is like a farm it pays according to the way in which it is treated. The successful farmer co-op-crates with his farm. Knowing that certain soil elements are necessary to heal thy crop growth, he sees to it that these elements are main tained. The same principle holds good in community development. Our - community is composed of two closely related elements town and country. They are both essential to healthy community growth. Ne glect or mistreatment of either of them by the other affects both it injures the whole com munity. Doth elements must be maintained. Accomplishing this is simply a matter of sincere co-operation among all of us in this com munity. Our idea of our own part to play for community good in a business way is To sell only such implements as have the quality to give high grade results in the field. To consider good performance by our implements as a part of our obligation. To sell every implement at a fair price. To practice the square deal towards each and every custo mer. On tliis basis we Invito the co-operation of every farmer In this community. MURRAY Hardware and Imolement C HURRAY, NEBRASKA
