FOURTH OF JULY AT OLD KENOSHA Residents of that Locality Have Fine Time in Neighborly Meeting in the McNatt Grove. It was in the territorial days of Nebraska that the town site of Ken osha was laid out by the hardy pio neers that came across the Missouri river to fohnd a home in the new and unknown lands of the roving Indian ,and all that marked the community as a town has long since past, the last landmark being the church that was destroyed on March 23, 1913, but despite this disappear ance of the landmarks of a settle ment the residents there have main tained the real community spirit and this was shown very clearly on Tues day when the residents of that por tion of the county gathered for a real Fourth of July celebration. The scene of the festival was laid in the A. J. McNatt grove, a fitting place for such a delightful gather ing. There were some forty-five pres ent to enjoy the reunion, included in these were some of the oldest residents of the county who reside in that locality. There was a ball game as well as horse shoe pitching contest among the members of the party and other games and races that aided in mak ing the day one of the greatest of pleasure to everyone and the young sters with their firecrackers and other noise producers aided in mak ing it a real Fourth of July in ev ery way. Everyone had brought well filled baskets of the good things to eat and these made a feast fit for a king when the tables were spread beneath the pleasant and inviting shade of the trees. It was with regret that the mem bers of the party saw the day come to a close and on departing they wished for many more such pleas ant meetings in the future.

State Treasurer D. B. Cropsey was able to look his constituents in the face Saturday and with patriotic fer vor assert the coming Fourth of July will find the state treasury without an overdraft on its funds, the first time this situation has happened for several years. His report for the month of June shows the largest collections from taxes of any month in the history of the state. The tax levy is also the largest ever known. The treasurer's report shows the wiping out of over drafts amounting to more than $1,- 000,000. While Treasurer Cropsey is now rejoicing over the fact that there is $400,500 in the general fund and no overdrafts, he may be in the dumps a little later on in the year. Tax collections will be light from now until December but the state's bills will continue to pile up, and in ad dition nearly $600,000 of temporary (POLITICAL, ADVERTISING) Fights Profiteers!

Studebaker bodies are built in Studebaker shops by men, many of whom have been build ing vehicle bodies for Studebaker for upwards of 30 years and their fathers before them. Studebaker has been building fine bodies for seventy years. Studebaker Special-Six bodies, because of their quality and soundness, weigh more than those of other cars around the Special-Six price. You cannot skimp in material and build a body that will not rattle. Freedom from rattle or squeak is just another of the fine-car refinements that emphasize the extra value of the Studebaker Special-Six. MODELS AND PRICES - UGHT-SIX 5-Pas.. IIT-W.B. 40 H. P.

With a balance of $2,541,365 on hand the first of June the balance on hand the last of the month was $4,373,322.13. There is now $2,100,000 in the fund for the construction ot a capi tol.

(POLITICAL ADVERTISING) BARROWS FOR CONGRESS Lieutenant Governor Pelham A. Barrows is in the race for the Re publican nomination for congress in this district. He is popular with the people and has always been a vote getter. He was elected the first time he ran for lieutenant governor by a majority over his principal opponent of 22,864 which was Increased the last election to 77,400.. In that elec tion he polled 10,530 more votes In this district than did his democratic opponent and 4,206 more votes than both his opponents combined. One of the strong arguments In favor of the nomination and election of Mr. Barrows is the fact that if elected he will not go into congress handicapped by being unknown. Prob ably no man has ever gone out of Ne braska for a good many years who has become bo well known over the entire country as he. As Commander-in-Chiof of his national organization, traveling from one coast to the other, speaking In most of the important cities of the United States, he was accorded enthusiastic receptions wherever he appeared and was greeted by many of the prominent men of the coun try. Naturally members of congress, and he is personally acquainted with many of them, will be interested in knowing the type of man the First Nebraska district is sending to take the place of Congress man Reavis, one of the very well known members of that body. Should Lieutenant Governor Barrows be elected, he will go to Wash ington with the prestige of being known and step into that body known either personally or by reputation by a large number of it j members. This will mean a great deal for this district and with the experience whrich the lieutenant governor has had In public life, will be a valuable asset to .Nebraska.
