in Plattsmouth Wednesday of last

ed for Mr. Royer's sale pt personal
property, which will be held at his

crops this year. Remember the sale
will be held on the Straub farm near
Avoca on October 18th, commencing

CAN YOU BE FOOLED?
It is easy to fool an injudicious
man who will take a piece of glass,
cleverly cut, for a diamond. Such a
man may be easily induced to accept
a low grade preparation, with a non
sensical name and a multi-color label,
instead ot a reliable, scientifically
prepared remedy. But nobody can
fool a wise man who looks for the
intrinsic worth. Thirty years of
steadily growing renown of Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine have
proven that the public recognized
the values of this remedy and cannot
be led Into an error. Thousands and
thousands know that Triner's Amer
ican Elixir of Bitter Wine helps sure
ly in poor appetite, constipation,
flatulence, headaches, nervousness,
etc. Your druggist or dealer in
medicines carries also other Triner's
remedies in stock. The coming fall
calls especially for Triner's Liniment
giving quick relief in rheumatical
pains and Triner's Cough Sedative
an excellent remedy for colds and
coughs. Joseph Triner Company,

Since installing Zelnicker
Ever-Tyte Rings I have no
spark-plug trouble-before
I had to clean 2 to 4 daily.
My kerosene consumption
has decreased five gallons
for a ten hour day. Where
I used 3 to 6 quarts of oil

"My tractor has been run on
an average of eight hours a
day since lr.st September.
The pistons ?re badly worn.
Yet my compression is as
good as vhen the tractor was
new. I believe these rinps
cannot be equaled." Geo.F.
Woodard, Conneaut, Ohio.
The growing use of Zel
nicker Ever-Tyte Piston
Rings in tractors, trucks and
cars is a natural result of its
reputation among mechani
cal engineers and its 8 years
record of efficiency in every
type of engine under every
conceivable condition.

REDUCTION ON
During October!
According to the newspapers, prices have struck the toboggan. Could
we believe all we read, it would be possible to buy a good suit of clothes tor
ten dollars and sugar at ten cents a pound; but we haven't noticed any at
these figures.
However, printer's ink is powerful and no matter what the actual con
ditions are in the merchandise market, the public mind is made up for lower
prices and we're for 'em too, with both feet.
Now, to help the program along in a practical way and join the price
slashing campaign, WE OFFER UNRESTRICTED CHOICE OF OUR BIG
STOCK OF MEN'S SUITS AND OVERCOATS, DURING OCTOBER at
a straight 20 DISCOUNT. As you know, our goods are not marked m
Greek characters like many city stores, but in plain figures. YOU WILL GL1
A BONA FIDE 20 CUT from prices already 20 lower than the same
quality goods can Be bought for in any city.
NOW, IT'S UP TO YOU! If you need the goods now's your chance, and you must admit that
we are fair in the face of an unyielding wholesale market to make this generous offer.
Our announcement is made for the month of October only, as tne Dest aa vices avauaue predict goa
clothing will cost more in thirty days than now. This, however, belongs to the future and we win pledge
you a continuation of the policy of this store to furrtish you with the best goods obtainable at the lowest
price consistent with service and satisfaction. This sale is for Cash. Alterations extra.
