Upton, who have purchased a home In Union and are having it fixed up, will move to town as the home Is completed and put in the condition which they are desiring. C. G.

I The extension service which is be-' ing put out by the farm bureau held a meeting at the home of Mr. E. A. Dowler of Union last week and a re port of which will follow in another j issue of next week. i The teachers of the Union schools were enjoying the Thanksgiving day and days following incident to the short holiday at their homes and re turning for the school work again the following Monday. ' Word was received from Everett Armstrong, who is receiving treat ment in a hospital at Lincoln, that he is making some very satisfactory improvements, and is able to be up and around a portion of the time.

B.

Attorney Charles L. Graves, the hustling counsellor of Union was a visitor on Friday of last week at Murray, where he was a guest of his brother, A. H.

Mont Robb, who has been suffer ing with rheumatism to the extent that he was not able to be at the cream station for some time, has so far recovered that he was able to be at the place of business on last Mon day, but was feeling far from his ac customed good health. James W. Holmes and wife ot Plattsmouth were visiting for last Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mont Robb, where they all enjoyed the occasion very much. They were pained to know that Mr. Robb was suffering so much from rheumatism, but pleased that he was showing im provement. The Union druggist. is happy and has abundant cause for the same, for his daughter arrived at about nine o'clock last Monday and reports the young lady and her mother doing nicely, while he is also enjoying a visit from his mother, Mrs. P. K. Moore, of Lushton, who is visiting here and keeping company for the newly arrived little lady. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Adams, who make their home a few miles north of Union, are rejoicing over the ar rival of a very fine young lady at their home, who promises to be a comfort for them in their advancing years. But the chances are ten to one the little lady will want a home of her own in another twenty years. We don't blame her, either. Mrs. R. II. Chrisweisser, who was nursing at Plattsmouth for some ten days, arrived home last Thursday in time to enjoy the Thanksgiving fes tivities with the folks, but was call ed to the Jesse Adams place on last Friday, and a3 she had promised to assist at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Moore when they had com pany, and which arrived on Monday, she came to town and is nursing Mrs. Moore and the little babe. Phillip Rhin and wife were ban quetters at the Baptist ladies' dinner in Union Thursday, where they sure got a good dinner and one that was greatly enjoyed. In the evening they ate with the ladies of the Christian church at Murray, getting another excellent meal, and with that pace they certainly could not complain of not being well fed. The following day they were guest9 of friends near Mynard, which also added to their good keeping. Some of the people of Union and vicinity were visiting in Plattsmouth on last Sunday night and one was agreeable to staying for a few days on invitation of the officers, while another returned home, though with much difficulty for he had to miss meeting the officers, who came down the first of the week and insisted on his coming up and being company for his friend. They both are not enjoying their stay in the county seat very much. Will Use Union Gravel The company which was working in Union distributing gravel on the highway, have effected a lease with Joseph Lindsay whereby they will during the coming summer use much of the gravel which is deposited in the bank3 on the farm of Mr. Lind say. This will make the building of good roads in this vicinity much eas ier and will also make the labor mar ket in Union and vicinity more ac tive. New Manager for Store Wayne Ackley has ben secured by A. L. Becker as manager of the store. which will still remain the property! of Mr. Becker but which will be con- ducted by Mr. Ackley and wife in the future, and will be run on a cash basis, which will permit the selling' of the goods at a lower figure and secure better good3 at the same price. iMr. Ackley and wife are both exper ienced in the matter of business and will keep the business in good condi tion and serve the people well.

Eemember "There is No Substitute for Quality." JOE BANNING Union, Urges Graveling of Country Roads for Better Travel Secretary of Chamber of Commerce Has Some Words in Regard to Ko&d Needs. John Barleycorn is dead but he left a bootlegacy. Exchange. "Followine the news of last week that the atom is divisible comes a dispatch from Chicago that skirts are to be shorter and tighter this winter." I ! Regardless however of the short-1 ness or tightness of skirts, or the di-j visibility of an atom, or the legacy of John Barleycorn (may his soul rest in peace) the most serious prop osition confronting Cass county is the graveling of her terrible, muddy, slick sloppy, rutty country roads, and as soon as it is appreciated what a toll these roads take from all of us, and especially the rural communities fort excess gas, depreciation, and loss of! time, and nervous energy, there should be a howl go up that will sound like a real revolution. I If we den't hollerr.you bet we'll never get heard! I Wish some of you victims that struggle into market over these rot ten mud roads, would come in and tell us what you think of them. We can go in the back, room and lock the door so you can express yourself freely. You might also figure, how much is a good road worth to you The American, is the most patient and most abused mortal in the world. Aside from letting his wife boss him to-death he'll for years get stuck in the mud; pay out good dollars for skid chains; slip off into the gutter; spend quarts and buckets of gasoline on bum roads; wear out his car; lose his time; and take It for granted. Next time you try to climb that long steep mud-slick hill without chains 'cause you forgot and left 'em at home, how much would a good gravel road mean to you then? It may be sweet glorification dying while praying but if we get good roads, we'll have to quit praying: start cussing, and perhaps something will begin to go bang! Some folks and some places have honor thrust upon them. Marysville, Kansas, we take to be such a place. That city has the first merchandise display store, fresh from the over, red hot, for Montgomery Ward Co! No, sweetie, we can't buy anything here, but just inspect things, and send away for something to be like something that we inspected to -be something. And the Montgomery Ward pays Marysville the following crushing compliment "There are thousands of our valued cvustomers living within 30 miles of Marysville etc, etc." A "Valued Customer" for a mail order house always makes me think of an Omaha street car "Pay as you enter." It should be "pray as you enter." Did you ever try this scheme "Dear Montgomerysearrowspuvk Co.: Enclosed order is for your Bug proof Castiron Sheets and pillow tub ing; please send return mail. Will sen you check as soon as I have pick ed my corn, or sold my taters." Try it once you'd be 'sprised at how "valued" you are! Many a man of mediocre talents has reached the highest pinnacle of suc cess, by his LOYALTY. All-weather roads are a good in vestment. Nebraska can't afford to be without them. Announcement:--- We have secured the services 6f Mr. Wayne Ackley and his wife as managers of our store, and who will be in charge beginning December 1st. . . We will in the future sell only for cash, and thus will be en abled to conduct the business in such a way that we will be able to sell goods at even lower prices than heretofore. . . . Our motto will be the best goods for the least money, and the best service at all times. Union, Nebraska Nebraska The Nebraska Good Roads Associa tion is working for the construction of county roads, as well as the state hiway system mid is requesting that the gasoline tax be increased one cent per gallon, all of this increase to be used on the county roads. From fifty to one hundred per cent of the money expended for road con struction and maintenance goes di rectly or indirectly for labor. In many localities, noticeably Otoe and Sarpy counties, the farmers rec ognizing the value of gravel roads by their farms are putting their money into it as an investment. Poor roads are laying an enormous burden upon the people of the state and the nation. A burden many imes greater than the so-called good road taxes. I hale to be a kicker, I always long for pea.ee; But the wheel that does the squeaking Is the one that gets th grease. . Sanford Herald. W. G.
