X Most Pleasant Evening
A merry time was had at the Mc

gathered to spend the evenings in
progressive whist and other games.
The evening was most thoroughly
enjoyed by the happy crowd, and all

gathering when the hour of depart
ure came. Light refreshments were
served during the latter part of the
evening, after which the company
took their leave, voting this to be

Budolph Heil and Companion Battle
with Wyoming Storm to Keep
Telephone Lines Open.
A thrilling account of a severe
blizzard in Wyoming last November
in which a former Louisville boy,
Rudolph Heil, son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. II. Heil, distinguished himself for
courage, grit and resourcefulness,
has reached this office through the
Mountain States Monitor, a publica
tion issued monthly in the interest of
the Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company at Denver, Colo
rado. Rudolph Heil and wife have been
located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for
the post year or so and both hav2
good positions with the telephone
company. Mrs. Heil is experienced
in this line of work as she was man
ager of the local telephone exchange
here before her marriage and also
at other points.
When the great blizzard struck
Wyoming, the damage was very great
to the tel&phone lines and automo
biles, trucks, teams and saddle horses
were resorted to in an effort to as
certain the extent of the damage.
Men were sent out in all directions
and Rudolph and a helper were sent ,
out to the northwest in a Dodge '
about twenty-five miles. Just as they .
almost arrived at their destination,'
they broke a rear axle in the drifts,
and could get no call in with their:
te?t set, as all wires were down. j
Here is where they proved what
stuff they were made of, for they set
out to walk to Cheyenne, with a
blizzard at their backs blowing drifts
of snow so that they could hardly
see a thing ahead of them. Until
dark that night they climbed poles
and kept the Transcontinental line
cleared, each mile seeming an end
less length that stretched away into
eternity, as they expressed it after
wards. This part of the country is
an open plain with places of shelter
few and far between, a house ap
pearing about every eight or ten
miles. At nine they reported at the
test room so fatigued they could not
have gone another hour or mile. The
fact that the tractor gang had gone
only eleven miles on their route,
proved that only the undaunted ,
courage and endurance of the boysi
carried them through their under
taking. The Monitor told the entire story'
very thriilingly and there were many
tales of faithful service under the
most discouraging circumstances re
quiring courage, patience and deter
mination, but none that excelled the
experiences of the Louisville boy and
his many friends here will be proud
of hi tu and of the record he has
mad2. As a slight reward for his
day's work, the company presented
him with a twenty dollar gold piece,
and there is no doubt that the money
was well earned.
The editor of the publication is
A. U. Mayfield, of Denver, brother of
the Courier editor and an experienc
ed re'vspaper man. He has associate
editors in Salt Lake City, El Paso,
and ITdena. Montana, and the paper
is sent free to all the employes al
though the subscription price as $1.50
per year. It covers the entire field
remarkably and tells about the work
bPing done in the various cities and
of the deaths, marriages, deeds of
bravery, etc., of the entire force. In
reading the Monitor, it seems as
though they are one big family
united in a common interest, to give
the best service to the public.

Can Attend Absolutely Free!
After five years of tremendous success, the Ad vance-Rumely
Tractor School has become almost a national institution. We
are urging- you to attend, because "knowing your tractor"
means more profitable operation, fewer delays, and work
done on time.
The school course is divided into two parts classroom
and laboratory. In the classroom, experts explain the prin
ciples back of - OilPull Trsctcra, Rumely Ideal Threshers,
Rumely Trucks, etc. ti the laboratory, you tear down and
assemble motors and transmissions; learn to time valves,
locate and correct trouble, etc. You learn operation and
mechanism rby working on each pari yourself. You get,
in one short week, a broad, intensive training such as- you
could get in no other way.
By means of a co-operative arrangement between our firm
and the Advance-Rumely Thresher Company, we are permitted
to send absolutely free, a limited number of men. Transporta
tion expenses, equipment, instruction, entertainment, board,
room and every legitimate expense is paid.
Entrance requirements ere extremely simple. Ask us to
explain them. But -quick action is necessary. Call, telephone
or write us for details.

Nothing can be good for every
thing. Doing one thing well brings suc-

Doan's Kidney Pills are for one
thing onlj
For-weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is Plattsmouth evidence to
prove their worth.
Mrs. P. N. Rauen. 1109 Pearl
street, says: "I believe Doan's Kid
ney Pills can't be beat as a kidney
remedy for any kind of kidney ail
ments. I was in bad shape with my
back and was laid up so that I had
to have hot poultices put on my back
and sides to relieve the pain. I could
hardly turn in bed and was sore
through my back. I had awful
dizzy spells and little specks came i
before ray eyes and many times I
had to it down and wait for these
attacks to pass off. A while after I
commenced to use Doan's Kidney
Pills and I Leeran to imnrove. I cot
several boxes from Weyrich & Had- fj
. . t x , tm
raoa s urug store aim tiiey gave me
permanent relief after other kidney
remedies had failed. I always keep
Doan's on hand and use them when
my kidneys need attention and they"
keep them in a strong condition." !

simply ask for a kidney remedy
