G. Brooks wijl be greatly shocked to learn of , the bereavement which has befell , him in the death of his mother, Mrs. Mary Brooks, who passed away last Sundav at Detroit. Michigan, where she has been visiting for some time.

AUTOMOBILES FARM IMPLEMENTS the uniform of a sailor, greeting a man along past middle age and re ceiving the greetings of everybody at the station. This young man was Marion Pittman, who had just re turned from nearly a two years' stay in the service of his country, and who is next to the last of the home boys to be discharged and return o Avoca, as there is yet one more tq come, Clyde M. Bogard. who is ex pected in about a month. Another, Claude Hollenb'erger, arrived only last Sunday. The way the people yelled "Hello. Pitt" showed where their hearts were, and pronounced the popularity of this young American who is a brother of C. L. Pittman of Platts mouth. We had Just passed up to the business place of Marquirdt & Ruhge when the latter stepped into the store and told of J. Elmer Hallstrom cashier of the Farmers State Bank, having Just snatched little Dorothy Gollner from fhe jaws of death in front of a rapidly moting automo bile. So close was the grim mon ster on the track of the little miss, that the garments of Mr. Hallstrom were brushed by' the fenders of the machine. While he saved the life of this little girl, Mr. Hallstrom seemed to take no credit for the deed although he risked his life in the effort. The firm of Marquardt & Ruhge are enjoying a very good business and are well satisfied with the vol ume of their trade. All the business houses of the city, in fact, were busy and seemed tobe well stocked with seasonable merchandise. We found our old time friend Orlando Tefft not enjoying the best of health, but able to attend the Chautauqua, which was in session there the past week. One place we found closed and that 'was the barber shop of Clyde M. Bogard. who was among the first from the community to offer his ser vices to the country as a member of the navy and who is still there, but expects to be released within the next month. He sailed some time ago on his last trip as a member of the crew on the ship Van Steuben, which will be released after tne pres ent Journey. During the time the boat is docked in the French port, the crew will be given a (en days' shore leave, which will afford them opportunity to see some of .he in land conditions. He will, upon his return to the states "and discharge from the service, return to re-engage in business at the old stand. The furniture is there and his name remains on the window, and he will undoubtedly be accorded a good busi ness when he is in position to once more take care of it. The town of Avoca is democratic ally progressive in its method of do ing business and everyone seeming ly was interested in the welfare of his neighbor and ready and willing to do him a favor. The citizens gen erally would like to enjoy better newspaper facilities, but have no paper of their own. The town has two banks, two churches, a . good school system, two elevators, each doing a good business, two cream stations, and a public hall which would be a credit to a much larger town. They give free picture shows on Saturday evenings, attended by large numbers of people from the countryside. Avoca has, however, but little to feel proud of .in the matter, of its 'railroad facilities as the trains are not run so as to give the best ser ! vice. They would like to have a hotel but as they don't they extend I personal hospitality in their efforts to make the, sojourn1 of the traveling public within their boundary pleas ant and not one but who would go out of their way to accomodate you in Avoca.

I 'M ' H Thousands Of Farmers To Keep Books Through State' Bankers' Associa tion thousands of farm record books produced by the university depart ment of rural economics will be dis tributed over the state for the cal endar year beginning January 1. Ten thousand of these books were used by farmers this year, and they were declared to be of much value, especially in determining income tax. The book is the result of sev eral years work and investigation by the university and is said to rep resent the best of its kind so far produced. It is simple and yet com plete, providing for a record of all receipts and expenditures, together with a farm inventory at the be ginning and end of the year. Thru its use a farmer knows his exact worth and his profit or loss for the year. " Young Hens Lay Best. It seldom pays to keep hens for laying after they are ; more than two and half years old, -say univer sity extension poultrymen. ThiF may not be true of Leghorns but i generally so of most other breeds. Hens older than this may return some profit but younger hens will return greater profit. In this day of high feed prices, flocks must be culled 4 the non-layers and poor layers and only those kept which produce the most profit. Silage Zept 'Ten Years. A silo filled ten years ago was re cently opened in Australia and thr contents found In excellent condi tion, according to the National Woo? Grower. The silage was eaten by stock with great relish. National Egg Laying Contest. To promote the breeding of high laying strains of standard-bred poul try, the Nebraska agricultural ex periment station is conducting what is known as the Nebraska national egg laying contest: Any breeder of standard-bred stock may -enter teD pullets and the state will keep 8 trapneet record of their laying. Monthly reports , will be made and published in farm and poultry jour nals. The records will be of adver tising value to breeders, and in ad dition help them to establish a well standardized flock. Entries must be made before October 1, and those planning o take advantage of this opportunity should communicate with the Farm Bureau. Kanred Wheat Giving Satisfaction Dodge country farmers growing Kanred wheat report good satisfac tion, according to L. C. Christie, county agricultural agent. Warren Mulliken had a yield of 25 bushels, or 5 bushels more than his other wheat. The straw ws sti filer and the wheat stood up better. S. W. Peters reported his Kanred, wheat superior to his other wheat. Kanred wheat was developed at Kansas state agricultural college and is rather extensively" grown in Kansas. L. R. SNIPES, County Agri.

Sfc Ahnn R ellsM The patriotic towns of Cedar Creek, South Bend, Manley and Louisville, sure put one across when hev celebrated the returning of the joys from the services in the array ind navy at Louisville on last Thursday, with games, addresses, nusic, an excellent dinner and a 'arnival thrown in. An elaborate Drocram had been evolved, and it A-as carried out to the finest detail 'mm the auto barrel race to the vrestling match. Durine the afternoon of Thurs- lay Judge J. T. Begley made an ad Iress at the carnival grounds Avhich was intensely listened to by a large lumber of people, of the assembled 'housands Davinff homage t.the Ighting boys of that portion oi Cass county. Following his address was ;ome races on Main street, which were inteersting to a great degree. The first was the girls race, of which there were some eight entries, ind all good sprinters, some a little faster, but all such as - could step ilong at no slow gait. The race was for fifty yards, and Irst money was'taken by Miss Lydia Stohlmann, who could run like a leer, while she was only a foot and i fraction ahead of Miss Esther Hartman. $3.00 going to the first nd $2.00 to the second. The other half dozen were within two yards of he winners when they crossed the line, and all may well feel satisfied with their speed. The Boys Race. This was for 75 yards, and was participated in by about ten coming American voters, now Americans in the most intensive sense of the term. Glen Ward secured the first money, while Clifford McDonald was the winner of the second prize, three and rwo dollars Irespectively. Eight more panting, straining youths came across the line like, an avalanche, but only a few feet be hind those who took first place. The Fat Men's Race. It was originally thought that they would have to weigh over two hundreds pounds in order to enter, but on account of all fat men hav ing to work to their limit, the fig ure was lowered. There waa four tp start, but as one did not get away good at the start, he dropped out, and another on'e dropped in the road just before the line was reached. This left but two to finish. Wm. Ossenkop, the winner of the first prize came up the street like a Rock Island passenger, winning the race as clean as a hound's tooth, while Charles Vogtman. while running a good race, was no match for the winner. They respectively received three and two dollars for thir burst of speed. a chance, and many availed them selves. The start looked like a flock of black birds arising, but the fin ish found the line filled with a swift ly moving line of humanity, all just within reach of the line, but a sec ond late for E. D. Reed had copped the first three dollars, while Marion Ossenkop had the second but were breathing so hard they could not give their names for some time. The Soldiers Race. This was for three prizes instead cf two, they being $5.00. $3.00 and $2.00. The soldier boys ran one hundred yards, and the way those boys came up the stretch reminded one of how weread of them going over the top, and their way of get ting there showed , that nothing could stop them. The winners were. Will Gobelman. first. Harvey Koop, second, and Harold Koop, third. Women Driving Nails. Then followed a contest peculiar in itself.' in that it imposed on wo men a man's occupation, and expect ed her ta succeed in it as well. It was the driving of nails. The ladies showed that they, were able to drive nails, and the contest was won by Mrs. Paul Fhelps and the second prize going to Mrs Roy lilunt. They sure drove home the nails. This was a sample of the enter tainment of the afternoons. Dur ing Friday it was varied' by having the contestants play pussy wants a corner with a Ford car and oil bar rels, and others chasing an oil bar rel for two blocks with a Ford. FUNERAL OF MRS.
