in selecting the talent that both
days may be well worth the while.

Union Wins Ball Game Sunday
In a finely contested game, which
was played on the local grounds last
Sunday between the Alamo Dairy
company's team and the Union team,
the local boys took the cream and
left only the-skim milk and that
none too sweet for the visitors. It
is broadly hinted thoucht that the
visiting team had something strong
er than the game which they put up.
The result was 11 runs for the home
boys while the visitors only received
four.
A large and well pleased crowd of
base ball fans gathered to tee ths
fun and they were not disappointed
for they saw the enemy go down be
fore the superb playing of the local
team, who were able to find the pill
of the Omaha team very easily.
Receives Many Severe Bruises
While riding a fractious horse on
last Sunday morning at the farm cf
Earl Wolfe, Master Sterling Harris,
son of Commissioner C. F. Harris and
wife, met with a very distressing ac
cident which caused a great amount
of suffering. In some way he was
thrown from the horse and as he
was being cast from the animal his
foot caught in the bridle rein and
the unfortunate young man was
dragged for over a hundred feet,
with the result that he was cut and
lacerated with many patches of skin
and flesh torn from his body and
limbs. Brs. Brcndel & Brendel were
called and dressed the wounds and
made a close examination and from
the results decided no bones were
fractured or no severe internal in
juries sustained. Sterling is getting
along as well as can be expected
considering the nature of his severe
wounds.
Funeral of Solomon Long
Solomon Long was born August 8,
1833, in the state of Ohio, where he
lived only a short time, moving to

nearly two thirds of a century ago.

recently making- his home with his
daughter, Mrs. Patrick Sullivan, at

SAYS NEBRASKA'S
CROPUOOK REST
Editor of Farm Paper Returns From
Tour of Three States and Re
ports Crop Prospects Good
J. II. Fransdon, dairy editor of
the Capper Farm Press, returned a
few days ago from a l.! 00-mile auto
trip' throughout the agrirultural sec
tion of southern Nebraska, northern
Kansas and western Iowa.
Mr. Fransden commented on the
fact that while crop prospects are
excellent in most of the sevtions vis
ited, nowhere did they" look better
than in Nebraska. While in certain
sections much of the wheat is being
stackocl. shock threshing is the or
der of the day. Wet weather is caus
ing some delay and some wheat is
being injured from excessive mois
ture. In some parts of Kansas and
Iowa, where threshing machines are
operated mostly by steam, there is
considerable anxiety regarding need
ed coal.
Corn is in excellent shape thru
out the territory visited, and every
thing so far indicates a bumper corn
crop. The loss from hail, while con-
lined to local territory here and
there, seemed particularly severe,
many localities this year having suf
fered a complete crop loss.
The scarcity of cattle is particu
larly noticeable in some of the large
Iowa pastures and feed lots general
ly so well filled with cattle at this
time of the year. Practically all
creameries visited report an increase
in cream receipts running at least
2') per cent higher than those of last
year. Farmers are making some mon
ey an 1 are feeling a lot more cheer
ful than last year. Demand for farm
land is coming back and some local
ities report quite a few farm sales
at prices of approximately 20 per
cent below boom prices.
MANY NEW FOREST FIRES
REFORTED IN MONTANA
Missoula, Mont., July 31. Two
large forest fires were reported as
having broken out in the Kootenai
forest in northwestern Montana.
The report received in headquar
ters of district No. 1 of the forest
service here says that smoke from
these fires is so dense that it is im
possible to tell the extent of the
flames. A fire said to be of Incen
diary origin, is reported as having
broken out late Sunday east of
Helton on the Gr&L Northern rail
way. It is raid to have burned over
70 acres. Twenty-five men have been
sent from Kalispell to fight this
blaze. This is at the southern boun
dary of Glacier National park.
Five fires were reported as having
been started by lightning in the Sel
way forest in eastern Idaho late
Sunday. Crews have been sent to
fight -these fires, but these regions
are almost inaccessible.
TRYING TO BUY
TRE PENNANT
New York Giants Emulate Example
of Yanks and Buy McQuillan
From Boston Braves.
Showing that the Boston-New
York entente cordials will work in
most any direction, the Giants have
now gone pennant marketing to the
Hub.
Badly in need of pitching to ward
off the pesky St. Louis Cards, the Gi
ants reached out Sunday night for
help and they found the Braves will
ing to part with Hugh McQuillan,
their best pitcher, to aid a distressed
ally.
In return the Giants passed over
big Fred Toney, a Memphis pitcher
and Walter Houlihan, an untried
college rookie hurler from Middle
bury. Some cash went along too. New
York says it was "substantial" and
Boston alleges it was in six figures.
McQuillan is a high class young
pitcher. With a tail end team he has
won five out of fourteen games and
he ought to be a life saver for the
Giants.
Right on the heels of the New
York-Boston deal in the American
league, the Giants acted as if more
evidence were needed to show Com
missioner Landis that he should step
in and take a whack at pennant
buying.
Counting up the cash involved In
the -purchase of Athur Nehf, Dave
Bancroft, Emil Meusel. Frank Sny
der, Heinie Groh and McQuillan, the
Giants have invested close to a half
million dollars in a pennant contend
er when the other rivals, with the
exception of the Chicago Cubs, can't
afford to put out $100,000.
Bartering between the clubs Is
banned after Monday and if the
Cards should have the money to make
a counter move on the market, the
mighty law of baseball will prevent
it.
0" Vif e- Cross-Rib Tread Cord
Did You Get the Bottom
Price, After All?
The man who buys a "long discount" tire usually finds himself
troubled by the above question.
Did he pay less for the tire than his neighbor rr.jht have raid, or
actually did he pay more?
Did he get the bottom price, when all is said and done, or could he
perhaps have driven a sharper bargain?
Was the net price really more than he might have had to pay for a
tire of established reputation and value?
In the belief that the average motorist prefers a frank and open
transaction, we built the new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Ccrd and
discounted the "discount" in advance.
Instead of listing it at a high price, to enable the dealer to attract
you with a so-called "long discount," we list it as low as we
profitably can.
We build it of high-grade long-staple cotton, using the patented
Goodyear method of group-ply construction, and sell it at a lower
price than you are asked to pay for many "long discount" tires of
unknown worth.
Compare these prices with NETprices you are asked to pay for "long discount' tires

BURIAL OF SOLOMON LONG
From Saturday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon at the Lew
iston cemetery, ten miles south of
this city, was held the funeral ser
vices of the late Solomon Long, an
old resident of this county, and the
services were attended by a large
number of the former friends and
neighbors. Mr. Long died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Nora
Sullivan in South Omaha Wednesday
night.
The funeral was very simple and
impressive and in keeping with the
wish of the deceased.
Mr. Long is one who will be re
called by the older residents of the
city and county as he made his home
here for many years and where his
son, John Long, is still a resident.
In their loss the family will have
the deep sympathy of the old friends
in this community.
