Perhaps you have a mortgage against your place.
Maybe it is not due yet, but probably have an option
or right to pay the loan in full when you pay the
next interest.
If you are paying more than 5 V2 now, don't wait for
the loan to become due, but see me about a new
loan before the next interest paying date.

Field Secretary Clement Says Finds
People Everywhere Favorable
to Road Development.
The Nebraska man who does not
hplieve in cood roads is not express

elusion of P. E. Clement, field sec
retary of the Nebraska Good Koids '
association who recently returned
from a trip to the western part cf
the state, says the Lincoln Star.
Wherever people were interviewed j
upon the subject they were found to j
be enthusiastic, loyal boosters for,
good roads. "Of course, we nave goi
to have good roads. They are the
making of our country." was the
opinion often expressed.
Only a negligible number ques
tioned the advisability of continu
ing the appropriation to meet fed
eral aid. and in each of these cases
the grounds for doubt were found in
a local disagreement 'as to relative
costs of road construction. Not a
man was found who was unreserved

PIANO INSTRUCTION
Three years ago when the live
stock breeders of Cass county held a
livestock show at Weeping Water,
the breeders and the business men
of Weeping Water defrayed all ex
penses. The business men were gen
erous and did more than the breed
ers expected. At the conclusion of
the exhibiton the Cass County Fair
Assocation came into existence as an
incorporation and claimed its legal
right to financial aid from the coun
ty. The second exhibition, really the
first county fair, was held last year
in Weeping Water but with a chang
ed attitude on the part of Weeping
Water pocketbooks. The city of
Weeping Water furnished free water
and electricity for the barn, after the
fair put in the wiring and lamps.
The city of Weeping Water col
lected for its own treasury the con
cession license fees, the progressive
people of the city let the fair pay
the rent for the barn, pay the rent
for the tent, and when a defiit of a
cople of hundred appeared, let the
fair stockholders make up the amount
out of their funds.
The Cass county fair is a live In
stitution and will grow to creditable
and valuable proportions if given or
dinary encouragement. Down in
Gage county, Wymore wanted to
move the Gage county fair from Be
atrice to Wymore; Beatrice raised
$14,000 to hold the fair. If Weeping
Water does not want to provide a
home for the Cass county fair, per
haps Louisville, Murdock, Elmwood,
Nehawka or some other town will
make an offer.
At the annual meeting of the
stockholders, Friday, Sept. 29, there
will be decided the question of where
to hold the Cass county annual fair.

BOYS GET FINED
from Tuesday's Dally.
This morning, three young boys
from near Murray were brought In
to answer to the charge of having
taken a part of the lights off of a
truck of II. M. Soennichsen at Mur
ray recently, the boys having taken
the lens, frame and reflectors from
the lights. They gave their names as
Delbert and Orville Todd and Wil
liam Minford. Judge Weber, who
heard the case, gave them a fine of
55 and costs each and which was set
tled for and the boys allowed to re
turn to their homes. The trio were
given a lecture by County Attorney
cole on their action that might have
led to far more serious consequences
had the matter been forced to the
limit of the law. They also returned
the property taken from the truck
When Attorney A. L. Sutton of
a week ago Sunday, heard a speaker
heaping abuse on the United States,
he up and pushed his way through
the crowd, ar.d asked for an oppor
tunity to answer him. He was grant
ed the privilege and at his conclus
ion was rewarded by cheers.
The individual speaking against
the United States referred to this
country as the Shylock of the
world," and declared America wait
ed until the war was about over be
fore entering it and then only for
selfish.
Mr. and Mrs. Sutton visited Eng
land, France, Germany, Austria, Ita
ly and Switzerland. "All Europe i
hard at work," Mr. Sutton said. "In
Germany this Is particularly true,
and the workmen spends his wages
as fast as he gets them because of
the uncertain conditions of the mon
ey market.
"All the European . nations are
making love to the United States.
This is particularly true of France
and England, who are virtually at
swords' points for the balance of
power in Europe. It looks like real
diplomatic trouble or worse and soon
at that. France has 1,250,000 men
in uniform, of which number 200,
000 are on the Rhine."
The Suttons returned MondaJ
night.
Washington, Aug. 29. Present
coal prices would only add $1.50 to
the price of Ford cars, Secretary
Hoover declared in expressing the
hope that the Detroit automobile
manufacturer would not find it nec
essary to close his plants because of
the price of fuel. Mr. Hoover ?id he
noted that Mr. Ford considered $.50
a ton a reasonable price for coal and
that Mr. Ford could obtain it now at
$6.50. Figuring on the basis of 3,
800 tons of coal used a day, Mr.
Hoover estimated that even under
present prices the increase per Ford
car would only be about $1.50.

Detroit, Aug. 29. The statement
of Secretary Hoover that present coal
prices would add hut $1.50 to the
price of Ford cars was characterized
at the Ford offices here today as a
"playful statement to make in a sit
uation as serious as the present one."
"Does Mr. Hoover think we should
turn over to the profiteers from $7,
000,000 to $10,000,000 that would
be represented in the increased cost
of coal?" was asked.

was designed and the original patterns prepared by Baron
Scotford, the famous silhouette artist. As you know his
fame has been won through his almost uncanny ability
to produce likenesses of the people he meets using only
black paper and a pair of scissors.
It will be worth your while to see this bat and cap
window. There is a shape for every head and figure.
