Buying Grain
Farming only pays when the man who manages
the farm receives at least one half of the net income
from the farm.
Grain and stock should be bought by individual
buyers who take an interest in keeping posted on the
market.
Co-operative associations will never be a success
until they sell at least one-half their stock to their
managers.
Bring your Grain and Stock to us. Thirty-six
years' experience on "market conditions" and "grading
up" grain. Free to our customers.

Since taking two bottles, I can eat
anything I want without distress.'

Charles .Jordan and .daughter, of
Alvo. motored to Harlan, Iowa, on
Thursday, where they visited for a'
short time' and from tfcere they go '

with Mr. Bartlett's mother, who is'
80 years old. and with other rela
tives. The C. Schneider family enjoyed a
family reunion several days the first
of the week, all of the children be
ing home. This is the flrst time the
family has been together for about
five years and At is needless to say
they enjoyed it very much. The
children present were Mrs. Frank
Lenz, of DeWitt. NeBr.; MrS. Earl
Cool, of Plattsmouth; Arthur, of
Sugar City, Colo.; Fred of near Alvo
and Karl, who is still living at home.
On Tuesday night - during the
storm the electrical display was ter
rific and there was one flash of
lightning after another and a terrific
wind. Lightening struck the barn
on the Wm. Harley place here in
town, ripping down the side of the
roof and doing a little damage. It
Is fortunate, however, that the hay
which was in that end of the loft, did
not catch on fire. The Robert Wall
family who live in the Harley house
noticed the damage the next day.
Mrs. Blanche Kuehn and three
daughters of Big Springs, Nebr., ar
rived last week on a month's visit to
the home of. her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Peter Eveland of this city. Mrs.
Kuehn brought along with her some
specimens of wheat, barley and
wheat grass which were grown there
this year. They are fine specimens
and show - that crops are good in
that section of Nebraska. The wheat
grass is something new to us but is
a natural product of that country
and makes excellent hay, something
on the same order as timothy hay.

Louisville sand pits are becoming
very popular with bathers these hot
days. Parties motor from Weeping
Water, Manley,' Murdock and other
towns to enjoy a plunge in the cool
water. Local workmen and town
boys who enjoy a lunge after the
day s work protest, however, because
they say. they prefer to swim a la
mermaid style and that 'while they
have been chased out of the ponds
near town and had gone to the
Rlchey pit a mile west of town where
they might bathe without being mo
lested, now they must move again
for a bunch of Weeping Water girls
with silk bathing suits have invaded
their quarters.
