AMERICA GREAT HOPE
OF STRICKEN WORLD
PlattBmouth proof is what you
want and the statement of this high
ly respected resident will banish all
doubt.
A. J. McFarland, 306 Third street,
Plattsmouth, says: "Several years
ago I was doing some heavy lifting
which strained my back and kidneys.
This put me in such bad shape I
had to walk with a cane for a num
ber of weeks and I couldn't straight
en up. I felt as though there was
a heavy weight across my back that
was just holding me down. I could
not sleep nights and it felt as though
I had been struck in the back with
a tdiarp knife. My kidneys acted ir
regularly and the secretions were
highly colored and burned in pas
sage. I was told to try Doan's Kid
ney Pills and after the first box my
condition was much improved. I put
my. cane away and was able to walk
straight. I used four boxes from
Fricke & Co's. drug store and they
made a cure that has lasted ten
years. My back and kidneys have
never bothered me since and I be
lieve Doan's will do the same for
other people if they will give them
a fair trial."

Pittsburgh, April 28. "The great
est hope of a stricken world lies In
the sturdy, hard-working, home
loving American," Vice President
Coolidge declared in an address at
the Founders Day celebration at
Carnegie Institute. He eulogized the
late Andrew Carnegie, who estab

complishments and spoke of him as
a "man who represented American
ideals."
"Great as were Mr. Carnegie's
benefactions iu the development of
the material and intellectual wel
fare of his fellowmen," the vice pres
ident continued, "his greatest achie
vement lies in the addition he zaade
to their moral force."
"The question of human welfare,"
he added, "is not an economic ques
tion. It is a moral question. The
ability is not lacking. It is the dis
position the moral force that is
lacking."

Fish Will be Scarce
.1. A. Bauer, in expressing bis opin
ion tif fishing prospects this summer,
says he is convinced that the catch
of this season will not be overly
large and will be of inferior quality,

dotk while fishirg in the Platte riv
er a few days ago accidently took a
foot bath in the river, and the fish
will all drive to other parts, it being
a good long time before they return.

The Farmers' Grain Prices!
One year with another the farming industry is a
prosperous one. Sometimes the prices go unusually
low, but those times are usually followed by an advent
of higher ones, due to decreased production. The people
must eat, and the era of better prices is ahead. Do not
slackn production, then, but be prepared to share in the
coming prosperity.
To raise the most from you land and get the best
returns, improved machinery is essential. We are
carrying the best lines and can supply you with what
you want. If you wait till prices advance, before you
resume production you will have nothing to sell when
the reaction comes. Enough others will fall by the way
side to assure a greater demand, and YOU cannot af
ford to pass up this opportunity. Better get the neces
sary machinery now and go in for a bumper year. See
us for anything you may need and be assured of the
best of service.
