Granddaughter Arrives
George Lever and wife are re

line little daughter which arrived at
their place via the stork route. The
mother and little lady are both do
ing nicely, while the father is ex
pected to pull through all right.
Grandfather W. 11. Leesley sure was
tickled over the arrival and he says
he will have to raise more chickens

gift to the little one.
JInch Cora Coming In
The elevators at Greenwood have
been receiving much corn of late, as
with the coming of the warmer days
and nights the 1929 crop is looking
good tor at least an average yield,
and the farmers are willing to let
loose of some of their surplus. Both
elevators have been very busy. Clyde
Newkirk has been assisting during
the rush of work at the Farmers
elevator the past week.
Masons Install Officers
Last Tuesday evening, following
the regular lodge meeting of the
Masonic order, the officers who were
recently elected were installed by
Installing Officer E. A. Landon and
all gotten acquainted with their
places and new work. The officers
to be inducted into their offices for
the ensuing year were: C. O. Swan
son, Worshipful Master; John Gabel,
Henior Warden: Tom Wilkins, Jun
ior Warden: C. E. Calfee, Secretary;
Ira Snyder Senior Deacon; Carl Car-
Freda Haase and Earl Johnson serv
ed as best man to the groom. After
a short wedding trip Mr. Dale and
Walter Wunderlich and two sons.
Jack and Bob, were here Thursday

Polk. Judge West, the party bting enroute from
Omaha to their home at Nehawka.
Mrs. James Mcllride and daugh
ters, Vera atid Ruth McMakon. ar
rived last evening from their homo
at Tacoma. Washington, to spend a
their Mid-Month report, is 3 bus
hels per acre higher than the fore
cast of this date last year.
The weather has been favorable
to wheat and small grains with
resulting heavy growth and perhaps
a slightly later maturity and har
vest date than last year. Bankers
give the condition of winter wheat
as 87. S of normal as compared
with S3. 3 last June and 86 re
ported by farmers on June 1, this
year. A year ago, bankers estimated
the wheat yield at 17.S bushels per
acre. The final yield was 19.1 bus
hels per acre. At present hankers
are estimating the yield as 20.8 Dus-
hels per ac re.
Condition of oats is reported as
91, varying from SS in the
south central counties to 9S in the
central and northeast. The oat con
dition in last vear's June Mid-Month
report was 7S of normal. Barley
is in a very good position, being
rated at 97 of normal
Corn is slower and has not grown
as rapidly as last year but almost
as large a proportion of total acre
age was planted on June 1 as a year
ago. Rains have held up the culti
vation after planting in many coun
ties and considerable replanting has
hfen done but, generally, the color
is good and no setback, appreciable
at harvest time, has yet been exper
ienced. Bankers give the condition
of corn as SS of normal.
Prices of both corn and wheat are

stocks of grain on farms are liberal
ly estimated. According to bankers'
estimates. 11.9 of last year's corn
crop, 12 of the oats and 9.6 of
the wheat produced was still in the
hands of farmers, on June 15th.

has no hope of being re-elected. Rev.
Mr. Stevens has opposed the major
ity of the board since the faculty
was discharged en masse May 11 and
the students staged an egg and rock
riot in protest.
The largest of the suits for unpaid
salary was that of D. H. C. Wayman,
president of the school for $3,188.34,
claimed due him up to Sept 1, the
date up to which most of the peti-
jtioned demand payment.
The vast sums r.f money collected
from automobile license?, gasoline
taxes and bond issues for road con
struction, have been spent largely
for building trunk highways.
The result has been great develop
ment along these roads, towns have
built up and property values have
increased out of r.P proportion to
the growth tbnt has been enjoyed by
com mu'ii ties lyir.g bad: from the
mi in highwas.
Smrllor places :iot on the trunk
road.- have been almost wiped out o
existence anil farm.s which are left
off th main routes have not im
proved in value. It is estimated that
74 per cent of rural mail deliveries
are on more or less unimproved
roads.
Our system of building main high
ways has been to parallel railroads
rather than to strike off through
new country. Thus we have added
to traffic congestion in centers which
are already badly congested. It is
time to broaden our higvvhay pro
gram and improve rural, or second
ary roads which reach country not
now developed as it should be.
It i stated that Ohio farmers, for
examnle, pav 27 per cent of Ohio
road costs but receive only 11 per
cent of road construction in rural
districts.
A farmer may haul one or two
loads a day to town over a mud road.
If this road was improved to an ex
tent sufficient to serve rural needs.
he could - probably make five trips
or more a day with a bigger load.
It has been found that with ex
penditures of from $1500 to $5,000
a mile roads which are now a liabil
ity can he turned into an asset of
inestimable value. This has been
proved in many states by the judi
cious use of gravel, crushed rock,
oil and asphaltic materials. A defin
ite program should be adopted to im
prove five to 10 miles of secondary
road for every mile of trunk high
way in the majority of our states.

THE NEW FORD
TUDOR SEDAN
AM
THE minute you see the new Ford
car you will be delighted with its
low, smart lines and the artistic
color combinations. There, you
will say, is a truly modern car.
But a still greater thrill awaits
you when you slip into the roomy
seat behind the wheel and start
away for your first ride.
You will like the feeling of
power that the new Ford gives you
the comfortable, prideful feel
ing that comes from having a cat
worthy of any occasion and equal
to every emergency.
You will like the flexibility and safety of the new Ford car as you weave
in and out of traffic its flashing pick-up as the light turns green and the
sign says "Go." You will like its smooth, quiet steadiness on the open road
where you can lazy along according to your mood, or do 55 and even
65 miles an hour if you desire. The new Ford has unusual speed no
doubt of that!
There are still other reasons why the new Ford car is a great car to own
and drive. Three important reasons that mean a great deal to you: reliability
economy long life.
The new Ford is made to stand
up under isands of miles of
steady runnir ; over all kinds of
roads, and save you many dollars
in repair bills.
Come in and see this great new
car. Inspect it carefully part by
part. Then know the thrill of driv
ing it. By its performance you will
realize that there is nothing quite
like it anywhere in design, quality
and price.
