Excellent Time Sunday Evening: The hour spent by the F.pworil. L"ague J'1 Methodist church on Sunday evening was one filled with interest and there was not a dull moment during the entire tin: line program was arranged and A car- ried out under excellent leadership. The young people of the Methodist church are a live bunch and capable of rendering a meritorious program every time they attempt to do so. cf which the one Sunday night was very fair sample. The Kpworth League is growing and holding some interest in g meetings, which it would be well for the young people of tie citv who are not members to attend ANOTHER TEACHER ADDED TO THE LIST riofessor Everett E.

Mr. Arden Rheuman. living west of the city, met with a very painful ac cident, aud had a narrow escape from being killed. He was holding to his team which was hitched to a wagon containing a hay rack, in the streets of Union, when the frighten ed horses, which were almost in a frenzy, swung him clear of the rack onto the ground, in their mad flight, dashing him against a wagon that stood in their course, forcing him to loose his hold on the reins, and trampling him as well as pulling the wagon over him. As a result a bone in his wrist was broken, his 1 chest was bruised, the shoulder liga ments were torn and his back was wrenched. His injuries were dress ed by Dr. Swab and he was taken to his home, where he is resting as well as the nature of his injuries will permit, but still suffering great ly from the effects of the wounds which he received. All those who witnessed the accident, and know of the conditions under which he was injured, think it a miracle that the man got through with his life.

HISTORIC GALA DAYS CONTINUE Through Efforts of Live Citizens to Perpetuate the Occasion Old Friends to Visit Again. The citizens of Union, after think ing of the fact that there would be a break in the long line of annual old settlers' reunions if the occasion was ommitted this year, as was at first announced, became alarmed least the practice become obsolete in future years and got together in a mass meeting and determined to continue the time-honored and high ly pleasing practice of gathering in the old home town for a meeting and the renewing of the bonds cf love and acquaintanceship and ar ranged to hold the 31st annual re union on Friday and Saturday, Sep tember 5th and 6th. Added to the usual features is a welcome home to the soldiers that will be the big feature of the second day, and special provisions are being made to accomodate and honor the valiiant fighters of the community who have risked their life and limb in the service of the country. A big dinner will be provided for all ser vice men on that day and committees have been appointed to look espec ially after their entertainment and pleasure, as well as the usual com mittees having in charge the making of arrangements for the old settlers' part of the program. There are committees on speakers, on music and on amusements. Among other features already an nounced there will be an aeroplane on the grounds to take those who de sire to go for a trip in the clouds, u big wrestlinsr match, and interesting hall games. The Tulene brothers of Plattsmouth will be on hand with Omir mprrv-iro-round. and in all the occasion will be marked with every opportunity for the enjoyment of the large number who attend. Union has a reputation of never doing things by half and this 31st annual reunion will be no exception to the rule. Better plan now to take a brief respite from labor on these two days and spend the turn in whole-hearted enjoyment at the Union celebration. AGAIN NEHAWKA SUFFERS DEFEAT Picked Nine from Urion Administers Second Drubbing to the Crack Team of Sister City. Union just picked the men up, as they were attired in the garb of working men. dressed in blue over alls, and they dared to go up against the well trained and immaculately groomed players of Nehawka. who were attired to the latest word in base ball garments. Still, the local team showed the veterans how the came of base ball is played. After having trimmed the Nehaw ka team to the tune of 5 to 3. a week or more ago, it was thought that in the game scheduled for last Samrdav the Nehawka boys would put up a better fight and probably would win over the untrained men from Union. But not so. In Union there is strength, and this was sure lv demonstrated when, in the seventh inning, each of the Union players was able Jo circle the bases, mak ing just nine scores in that one inning. But little comfort the Ne lmwka nlavers received from thf game, when the finals showed Union 14 to Nehawka 4. A large numoer of the citizens of Union aud vicinity were in attendance and cheered the hovs of their home town to do the wors-t possible to the players of the game from their cistcr town, inoi but that the team from Nehawka can play ball, and good ball, at that. n6 thrv have demonstrated through the past season, but the onslought of the blue overalled players provea too much for them. The line-up of the Union team was as follows: Horace Griffin, c; John Hoback. ss; Robert Eaton, p; Parsley. Cb; David Eaton, lb; Alex Eaton. If: "Kike" Mason. ZD; iwu Waltz, cf and Derwood Lyude, rf.

''I 7Z Do Chickens Pay on the Average Farm? 1 T all depends on the farmer. If they don t pay. If he pays a a big return for the effort. There are two things to point to in making poultry raising a success earlier hatches and more winter eggs. How can a farmer get them? First and foremost by having a substantial, air tight, warm, yuntu-. well ventilated Poultry House. And such a house quickly pays lor itself with eggs bringing the prices they do now. White Pine is the best wood for the outside of a poultry house because it stays where you put it without warping or shrinking or rotting. It's easy to work and easy on tools. White Pine farm buildings are permanent. They last a lifetime, with practically no outlay for repairs. Our service make building easy and inexpensive. We have plans, specifi cations and bill of material for the Poultry House shown above or for any type you may prefer. We will gladly give you an estimate of the cost. Thatevef your building plans, come in and talk them over with us. Cedar Greek Lumber Company Cedar Creek, Nebraska. assist in sowing some wheat on the farms of Fred W.
