A man lost $500.00 in War Savings Stamps.
WHY?
Because he had placed them for safe keeping in
a vase on the mantle.
A Safe Deposit Box would have saved him this
loss.

Meets with Serious Accident
East Tuesday morning, while
Thomas McQuinn was endeavoring
to place a hay rack on his wagon,
for the purpose of hauling bundles,
he sought to elevate the front end
of the wagon in order that the
wheels could be cramped shorter and
so picked up a piece of 2x4 intend
ing to use it as a false bolster. It
happened there was a bolt through
the 2x4 and when he had it laid in
place and was about ready to let the
rrck down onto it. the rack slipped
from its supports and came down of
its own accord. Mr. McQuinn's hand
happened to come right over where
the bolt protruded and the head of
the bolt was forced through his hand
leaving a hole fully as large as a
quarter of a dollar. The hand was
dressed by Dr. Ward and is still giv
ing him a great deal of pain, as
would be natural to expect it might
considering the nature of the in
jury. Honored by Linen Shower.
Miss Edith Frans. at her home,
known as Valley View farm, gave a
reception or linen shower in honor
of her cousin. Miss Zola Frans, and
announced the coming of her mar
riage to Mr. Merritt Pollard, of Ne
hawka. A very delightful time was
had by the young folks, who endeav
ored to make the young lady they
were honoring happy, and yet at the
same time tease her as much as
possible. The evening was very
pleasantly spent and the guest of
honor was the recipient of many
beautiful presents, which will also
be useful when she establishes a
home of her own in the near future.
Delicious refreshments were served
during the course of the evening and
the occasion was thoroughly enjoy
ed. Those present were Misses Bes
sie LaRue. Eula Frans, Gladys Whit
ford, of Arlington, Dee Garrison,
Flora Garrison, Ellec Chapman, De
lores Dysart, Winina Dysart. Laura
and Eleanor Eaton. Frances Dauer,
Alma, Marie and Edith Frans, Mes

LLOYD GAP EN DOING FINE.
Chas. Troop, who returned from
the western part of the state a few
days ago, tells us that he happened
to be driving along the highway,
when he noticed a mail box bear
ing the name of Lloyd Gapen. and
to be sure lost no time in stopping
for a brief visit with his old time
Cass county friends. He says that
Mr. Gapen is doing fine in the new
home, growing a wonderful wheat
crop this year, in fact he was al
most compelled to rent land near by
his to stack the grain upon after
cutting. Mr. Gapen has a beautiful
place, and it has advanced twen
dollars per acre since he bought it
a year ago. This is sure doing fine,
and making money, which will be
good news to the many Cass county
friends of the Gapen family.
THE BRIDGE IS MAIN THING.
Wahoo, Neb.. Aug. 29. Subscrip
tions are still coming in for the
Yutan bridge and present indica
tions are that the amount necessary
for the building of this bridge will
soon be in the hands of the commit
tee in actual cash.
There has been some local con
troversy as to the exact location of
the bridge not only from Douglas;
county residents but from this side
of the river as well. But all parties
in Saunders county have been
agreed on one thing, namely, the
importance of funds so that work
can commence at the earliest pos
sible date and have considered the
exact location as a minor point be
ing willing to leave that to th
judgment of the county boards and
the state engineers.
NEW AMUSEMENT HOUSE.

twenty-three instruments at once or

pleasing feature Is the ventilating

Subscribe for this great family
newspaper and get a ham sandwich:
Everybody seems to be going daffy
nowadays over something to eat, and
as eating is the popular fad we Co
not propose to lag behind, therefore
offer a fine ham sandwich to every
subscriber. This ought to catch
the ladies and we expect that a
soon as this announcement gets out
there will be a large increase in the
subscription list, though it is so big
now that it keeps the management
busy hustling funds for white
paper.
In looking over the exchange pa
pers finding their way into this
sanctum we note that every one of
them, without exception, contain in
every issue the startling announce
ment that "delicious refreshments
were served." If anybody has a
few friends call upon them to play
cards or pass away a pleasant even
ing, the first thing they do is to
feed them. If a lodge wants to hold
its membership or attract attention
it proceeds to dish up a Dutch lunch
or a lot of other indigetibles. If
the church want : to pay the preach
er his salary or put on a coat of
paint, or send a missionary out o
convert the w icked and devilish, t !w
first thing on thf program is 1o give
a series of ice cream and cake socials
and stuff everybody clear up to th'.'
Adam's apple with chicken pnd
sandwiches. It is eat. eat ail the
time, day and night, Sunday and
Sunday night, until it is a wonder
the people are not all dead from in
digestion. They go to evening
parties and other functions and
drink strong coffee and eat sand
wiches, pie and pickles until t bey
are uncomfortable and can not skep
the rest of the night, and feel I IT.
the devil all next day, but it is the
fad. Therefor, bring in your ko
pecks and get thH humdincer of a
newspaper for a whole year and
fine ham sandwich thrown in for
good measure to koep you trkM
starving to death before you can ii'-i
to a lunch counter or a social -Icings.
Some of our contemporaries are
giving away automobiles, wheelbai
rows, clocks and all that sort of
junk as subscription premiums, but
it is a doubtful method because peo
ple can't eat them. We intended to
club with a number of splendid
literary magazines as a premium,
but after deep consideration havr
concluded to switch from brians to
bowels, from head to stomach, feel
ing that the great general punlie
would rather have a chocolate etlair
or a ham and cheese sandwich to
anything literary or instructive.
Education comes secondary to grub.
Subscribe early and avoid the rusdi!
