Eeturn from the West
R. E. Foster and the children who
have been spending the past two
weeks in Colorado, where they went
to look after harvest, returned home
last Monday evening, having driven
both ways. The children, Dorothy,
Louise and Art, enjoyed every min
ute they were away, but ftill were
glad to get home. -Mr. Foster says
the wheat in the portion where he
was is good and bad. averaging all
the way from ten bushels to fifty
bushels to the acre. He particularly
speaks of the good yield of Fred W.
Young, which was near the letter
figure.
The Old Settlers' Picnic
The 3Cth annual reunion of the
old settlers of Cass and a portion of
Otoe counties will be held at Union
Friday and Saturday cf next week.
This has always been a great time
for the people to get together and
enjoy renewing their friendships and
acquaintanceships and for a general
good time as well. This year it is
expected that the crowds will be
greater and the interest even more
general than heretofore.
A unique feature will be added
this year in the Rock Bluffs gath
ering, which will include a real pic
nic by all former and present Rock
Bluffs residents and their families.
The occasion will be marked with a
picnic dinner and also addresses by
a number of former Rock Bluffs peo
ple and others telling about the
town, its history and incidents con
nected with the early history of the
lively town which rose up on the
banks of the Missouri river, flour
ished for a time and then went the
way of the world. Everybody is in
vited to come to this celebration
both the regular old settlers' pic
nic and the Rock Bluffs division.
morning and the Busnnell boy had
told his parents that he was going on
a fishing trip of which he had been
in the habit of doing. When night
arrived the boys failed to show up
and caused the parents of both of the
boys a great deal of worry and after
they had exhausted their own inves
tigations they arpealed to the poliee
and the members of the force has
tened to the Missouri river and made
a st arch along the banks for a trace
of the boys but without success and
it was with pinking heart that the
lncmbers of the family learned the
result of the search and its failure
to bring them word of the missing
boys.
At 2 o'clock this morning the West
ern Union teleirraph company receiv
ed a message from the Omaha police
department announcing that the
two boys had been picked up in that
city at 10 o'clock Inst night and were
being held pending word from their
parents. The police at once notified
the parents of the young people who
were by this time almost frantic, and
Mr. Bailey, the father of one of the
boys, made the trip to Omaha by
auto and returned this morning at
4 o'clock to their home. The relief
to the parents was very great and
the boys have had a real experience

Nebraska has learned the little les
son of how to build gravel roads.
The old system of permitting the
contractor to distribute two or four
inches of topping over the road, take
his money and go to another project,
ha3 been revolutionized. All that
the contractor must do under the
modern process is to dump the gravel
along the highway. The state's main
tenance crew does the rest.
The I). L. I), is being graveled ex
tensively. From Friend to the end
of the west O 3treet paving, the
mountainous stretch of gravel along
the highway is more or less regular.
Once the contractor deposits the line
of gravel, a thin spread is made over
the roadway. As this works in and
becomes a permanent part of the
road, the maintenance crew nips off
another slice from the little gravel
range. The road becomes better and
better without seriously hampering
traRic. Instead of splashing and
skidding in all directions, the gravel
feeds into the road only as the road
tan take it and ihen, finally comes
the top with tin firm foundation.
The federal government, accord
ing to State Engineer Cochran per
mits the practice which is general in
Minnesota, Iowa and other states. It
was inaugurated in Nebraska this
spring. The original contract price
is a bit higher but the contractor re
mits for labor he is saved and in the
final analysis, according to Mr. Coch
ran, the new process means lower
cost.
If the contractor deposits gravel
for a two-inch top, he pays back into
the maintenance fund 1 cent per
square yard. If the contract calls
for a four-inch top. he pays back 2
cents per square yard.
The graveling of the I). L. D. east
of Havelock gave evidence of the
shortcomings of the old system. The
contractor spread four inches of top
ping at one time over the road. The
road was practically impassable for
some weeks and was not actually fit
for traffic for several months.
A good example of the new system
;s found in the region of Friend
where the highway is being built up
without hindrance to traffic.

The Real Balloon Tire
DiscGvery-r-Supertwist
You're probably thinking about buying Balloon
tires.
As you know, Balloon tires ere much larger than
ordinary tires and run at lower air pressure. They
smooth out bumps, save your car end it3 occupants.
But to be practical, a Balloon tire must stand up
and give good mileage under the constant flexing
and bending to which it is subjected.
The durability of Goodyear Balloon Tires is
assured by a new invention Superttvist Cord.
Supertwi3t is an extra durable cord fabric devel
oped by Goodyear especially for Balloon tires.
Its superiority lies in its greater elasticity. Super
tuist will stretch farther than ordinary cord before
it breaks. Hence it protects Goodyear Balloon
Tires against stone bruise and rupture.
We have Goodyear Supcrtivist Cord Balloons
for the new small diameter wheels or to tit the
wheels now on your car, without change.
