A. L. BECKER, UNION -:- -:- -:- NEBRASKA 1500 Is just what one hen will make you in a single season, if she is properly cared for. Where can money be invested that will show any where near such attractive returns? Not being satisfied with making you such large re turns, she gees out scratching for herself, producing enough eggs the same season to pay for the board of herself and family. With eggs selling from 25c to 60c per dozen and chickens from $12.50 to $18.00 per dozen, any one can see the advantages of raising poultry. However, it must be remembered to accomplish the above results, Biddy must have a comfortable home. Build that chicken house now and start a bank' account. We will quote you lowest market prices on material. 'e appreciate your patronage. XV. Frans Bros'.

The congrega tion by unanimous consent, have ex tended a call for Rev. Taylor to be their minister for the coming year. The continued re-election of Rev.
