I AM YOUR FRIEND JOHN PJJURTEY, ALVO NEBRASKA Kill the De mori irear! Fear has killed many laudable enterprises, lias kept men from achieving success and even stood in the way of progress. The low prices of farm products arc paralyzing the farm industry, and you arc looking for the "bogy man" of bankruptcy, when you should be doing everything to make for success. Prices will go higher, but even if they do not, raise more from the acre and you are bound to succeed. If your banker is afraid to loan you money and you need machinery, we can carry you in that line. Wc have arranged with the manufacturers to take your paper for the goods which they furnish us. You do not have to have money for machinery and implements. Save it for other things. We can arrange for that. Go ahead with the farm work and make the busi- Sce us NOW. ncss a succcs. Ooafman Hardware Company, ALVO NEBRASKA CARNIVAL IS DRAWING BIG ATTENDANCE EAGLES HALL FILLED SECOND NIGHT TO ITS UTMOST CAPACITY. The second night of the American Legion carnival saw the Kagles hall filled to its utmost capacity with a large and enthusiastic audience and the fun and festivity reigned su preme from the hour the doors open ed until the last straggler had de parted from the scene of the pleas urable event. The booths all did a thriving busi ness and the many articles and nov elties offered for sale found ready purchasers from the merrymakers and the bevy of ladies who were present in each of the booths was kept busy in handing out the various articles desired. "The Country Store" was one of the main points of in terest in the carnival and the leather-lunged operatives of the stand were kept more than busy in hand ing out the prizes to the lucky ticket holders in the various drawings. The entertainment features of the evening consisted of dancing, the quartet and the "Kangaroo Court," and all of these served to amply gratify the desire for pleasurable en tertainment. The kangaroo court proved a very novel means of entertainment and a great many of the prominent resi dents of the city were brought up to be docketed on the blotter for sun dry ami divers shortcomings ami the charges brought many surprises and not the least of these was the discov ery on the person of K. II. YVescott of a bottle of strange, dark looking liquid that the court viewed with sus picion and while the official test was not made the prisoner had no chance at acquittal but was given over to the tender mercies of the bailiffs of the court. B. A. McKlwain. the jeweler was another of the business men to be snagged in the court and. charged with aiding and abetting crime by taking worthless checks and to this charge he plead guilty and was sen tenced to sing a song and also to buy a flower and pin it on the handsom est lady in the lull, but we have failed to learn the name of the for tunate lady. Judge Begley and County Judge Beeson presided over the court and were severe in their reprimands of the various prisoners brought before them for trial. Attor neys C. A. Rawls and W. A. Robert son were busy in prosecuting the var ious offenders. This evening the Kord touring car will be given away to the holder of the lucky number and the public will be allowed to suggest the method by which the car is drawn, as the Legion desires that all be satisfied with the way the drawing is held. Also the live baby is to be given away at this time and someone is sure to be the recipient of a gift that they will long remember and enjoy. GOVERNOR CONGRAT ULATED ON STAND Messages Pour In to McKelvie from Moving Picture Producers and Fans Veto Foretold. I0M It was announced at. the executive offices in Lincoln yesterday that Gov ernor McKelvie had received many telegrams from citizens, moving pic ture men and others congratulating him upon his veto of the bill pro viding for a board of censors. The names of those who offered con gratulations were not made public. Several members of the legislature said after the final, adjournment of that body Thursday that they knew the previous night when the bill passed both houses that it would be vetoed by the governor. This know ledge was kept very quiet and was not used in debate when the bill was before the two houses. Senator Reed of Hamilton told another member of the legislature some time ago to vote for the Beebe substitute for the censorship bill "and get something." "Remember what I said two weeks from now." said Senator Reed at the close of this cryptic statement to his fellow law maker. His remark was intended to inform his colleague that no censorship bill could become a law, but that some legislation along the line of regulation, such as the Beebe bill, could be had at this ses sion. A big apple without a core is the item in general appropriation bill setting aside all fees that may come in under the movie censorship bill for the use of the attorney general in administering that law. This ap propriation had been estimated at $ ISO. 000 a year, being on a basis of $2 a year for each reel shown in Nebraska. Governor McKelvie vetoed the movie bill so no fees will come rolling in upon the attorney general. The appropriation item still stands in H. R. filM, hut it is ineffective be cause of the vetoing of the censor ship bill which authorises the col lection of such fees. f.Vl I'll -I & j ilfl I have purchased the garage and ail the stock of the L.
