Large Grain Shipment AIto Is among the Cass county towns noted for its large shipments of grain products, but last week a shipment of unusual value was made from this place.

Ohio, by Gollaher Bros., formerly of Elm wood, but now of Lincoln, and Ray Coatman, of Alvo. The seed was purchase d of the farm ers In this vicinity at. a cost of about 39 per bushel and while in the past it haa been the policy to purchase seed grown in the east for seeding the western prairiea, the tables seem to have turned and the great and golden west is now looked upon to Buying Grain We always pay the highest price for Grain and Stock.

Don't neglect a constant backache, sharp, darting pains or urinary dis orders. The danger of dropsy or Bright's disease is too serious to ignore. Use Doan's Kidney Pills as have your friends and neighbors. Ask your neighbor! A Plattsmouth case: O. T. Archer, painter, Icust near Sth street, says: "As a rule all painters are bothered with disorder ed kidneys because of the fumes of the turpentine. This has always af fected my kidneys when I have had Inside work to. do more than when outside. I have had to get up as often as every hour of the night to pass the secretions. Sometimes when going up or down the ladder I would have quick stitches take me in my kidneys that felt like needles. I have always found Doan's Kidney Pills a very reliable medicine for this trouble. A few always give nie good relief and keep my kidneys in good and active condition. I would not be without Doan's for I know what they will do and have done. "I believe such a remedy as Doan's should be given the best of praise, knowing as I do from personal use of them." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Archer had. Fosfer-Mil- burn Co.. Mfrs.. Buffalo. N. Y. HARVEY GORY IS PASSING AWAY John Cory Received Message An nouncing That Brother is In Very Serious Condition. This morning John Cory received the announcement of the serious ill ness of his brother, Harvey Cory, at Cedar Rapids, la., and the informa tion that the life of the brother had teen dispaired of by the attending physicians. Mr. Cory left this af ternoon for Omaha from where he goes to Cedar Rapids to be at the bedside of the brother and hopes to reach that city before the brother passes away. Harvey Cory has been in very poor health for several months and while on a visit in Oma ha a few weeks ago suffered a very severe attack of asthma and other complications from which he has nev er fully recovered. He is seventy five years of age and this also makes his recovery a matter of much doubt.

NEBRASKA "NO PEACE ON EARTH UNTIL IRELAND FREE" SO SAYS MAC SWINEY'S WIDOW IN RECITING ALLEGED OP PRESSION BY BRITON Washington. Dec. 9. The widow' of the late lord mayor of Cork. Mrs. ! Muriel. MacSwiney. presented today j to the commission of the committee of 100 investigating Ihe Irish ques tion. the history of the hunger slrike in Brixton priron. London, of her hiifband and of hi-; death and the details as site had witnessed them of attempts by the Irish republicans to gain lreedom for their country. Mrs. MacSwiney concluded her story with the declaration "England shall have no peace, the world will have no peace, until our republic is recognized." Miss Mary MacSwiney. sister of the late lord mayor, recalled to add details to the story she told the commission yesterday, added to the declaration of her sister-in-law the assertion that the coining winter will be Ireland's Valley Forge, and appealed for American aid, not. she said, for the men and women of Ireland, but lor the children. "The corning winter in Ireland." said Mrs. MacSwiney. "will be hard. The British have destroyed our crops, our supplies of food. The men can get on; the women can stand the suffering, but. it is for the children I plead. We must have help this winter. MacSwiney Died Happy The widow of the lord mayor of Cork declared there was no choice for the Irish republicans but to stand together, whatever the cost, and continue the fight for indepen dence. She said it was such a spirit that actuated her husband to re fuse food until death. "I knew my husband was happy as his physical strength was worn away by hunger, for his countenance absolutely radiated peace and con tentment." Mrs. MacSwiney assert ed. "I was besought to plead with him to take food. But I would not. for I never, never would interfere with my husband in a matter of conscience. It was his choice. It was the 'decision of his spirit." Miss MacSwiney expressed the be lief that the fatal hunger strike of her brother had greatly benefited the Irish independence, movement. She told of the series of telegrams she had exchanged with Premier Lloyd George in an attempt to fix tesponsibility for her brothers pris on sentence and for the treatment he and his relatives had been ac corded by the British government.' Blames Lloyd George , "The result of this exchange of telegrams," she added, "made me feel that Lloyd George was respon sible before God and man for the death of my brother. I shall con tinue to feel that way, and I shall continue to spread that feeling throughout all of Ireland. Miss MacSwiney gave an account of what she characterized as con spiracy between officials of Brixton prison and the British home office "to defeat plans of the family to take the lord mayor's body back to Cork," because, she said, "the Brit ish feared an uprising and they did not want any more,trouble than they already had." "We Irish are no domestic prob lem of England's." she said. "We are an international problem. Our Ideals, the ideals of all Irish repub licans, are the same, and my plea to the American people is that you at least give fair play and justice to us, for the British stories of the separatist movement do not carry all the facts. We are not divided, and we intend that the whole world shall know the truth, both of our cause and the misrepresentations of the British." The commission tomorrow will hear several former members of the Royal Irish constabulary. CROPS ARE PAYING FOR RECLAMATION Washington. Dec. 8.

The .Commissioner of Internal Revenue, WashiiVgfon. D. C. writes to Collector Loomis under date of December 1st, as-follows: "December 15th is the last day for the payment of the fourth install ment of the income and excess profits taxes due this year. To avoid pen alty the tax must be in the offices of Collectors of Internal Revenue or branch offices by midnight of that date. "Inquiries reacting the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue indicate a belief that taxpayers have ten days grace on this Installment. Such a provision was contained in the 1917 Revenue Act. but was removed by the Revenue Act of 1918. "Payment of the fourth install ment may be made in cash or by money order or check. The Bureau of Internal Revenue urges that when ever possible payment be made by check or money order. This method helps the taxpayer by saving him a trip to the collector's office and avoids congestion at the cashier's window. Check . or money order should be made payable to "Collec tor of Internal Revenue." "Bills will be sent to taxpayers, but failure to receive a bill doe3 not relieve the taxpayer of his obliga tion to pay on time." Good Advice Take Chamberlain's Tablets as soon as you have finished your sup per and they will produce a gentle movement of the bowels on the fol lowing morning. They will also im prove your digestion and make you feel better in every way. A Christmas Message!
