They
Makes Good Showing.
The Nehawka Farmers Oil com
pany, which is managed by Raymond
C. Pollard and as is shown by the
year's business he has made an excel
lent success of the business. By a
statement which was issued January
first, this year. The institution has
been in business about a year, and
began with one hundred and fifty
one stockholders, and with the clos
ing up of the year has numbered on
their list three hundred and eleven
patrons. During the year they hand
led 146, S25 gallons of gasoline, and
61,186 gallons of kerosense, 6,609
gallons of. lubrication oil, with the
total sales amounting to $42,2SS.42.
The company does not owe a cent for
anything, and had to their credit on
the first day of January $3,661.25 in
the bank, while their inventories to
talled $3,061.53. The real estate and
improvements amount to $2,421.25.
At a meeting which was held by the
board of directors a ten per cent
dividend was allowed to all patrons,
and an interest dividend of six per
cent for all shares held.
This makes a good showing when
the institution which sells its goods
at a lower price than others, are
able to give a rebate or patron divi
dend of ten per cent and then an in
terest dividend becides amounting to
as much money can well be loaned
besides. It looks like it is well to be
long to such an institution when
shares are selling at the low figure
which they are. Much credit is due
to the careful management of Mr.
R. C. Pollard for the very fine show
ing which the company is able to
make.
Undergoes Seventh Operation.
Mrs. John Opp who has been very
ill for some time was taken to the
Lincoln General hospital at Lincoln,
last week where on Friday she under
went the seventh operation tor the
restoration of her health. Mr. Opp
was up to see the patient on Sunday
and found her doing as well as could
be looked for under the circumstances
It is hoped she will be able to return
home in due time with her health
entirely restored.
Mr. J. M. Stone Better.
Mr. J. M. Stone who some time
since underwent a very severe oper
ation, and who for some time was
in a very precarious condition, is at
this time reported as bing much im
proved, and all concerned are hoping
for his complete recovery. His moth
er, Mrs. R. B. Stone was over to see
him on last Sunday and again Lester
Stone, his brother was out to visit
him on Tuesday of this week. They
all found him doing nicely when the
seriousness of the matter was con
sidered. Deferred Christmas Dinner.
There was a very happy time on
last Sunday when the deferred
Christmas gathering of the Anderson
family was held at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Ross. A turkey was
sent from Imperial in the western
portion of the state, by Henry Mey
ers, who could not get here for the

ing were Louis Ross and family, Al
bert Anderson and family of Nehaw

Federal Farm Board will be on
program, of the 2."th annual
the
the
or-
ganized agriculture meetings,
at 3
P. m. Iue;-!av, January (tn. bo:ne
other features of the program will
be experience of farmers who have
produced the Roods in 19-9. Win
ners of corn yield contests and pig
crop contests will tell how they did
it. Men in charge of the contest are
figuring up the results now. They
may r.otifv the individual winners so
they can be in Lincoln to take part
in the programs, but the official an
nouncement of winners will not be
made until Wednesday anu Thursday
of Organized Agriculture week. In
the corn yield contests the bushels
per c.cre and the cost of production
have been the important points con
sidered in determining the winners.
In the pig crop contest, the number
of pounds of pork per brood sow on
the farm and the cost of production
are the two main factors. The pig
crop is weigneci up wnen tne pigs
average six months of age.
Farm Slaughter of Hogs.
Extension Circular 22S on farm
slaughter of hogs and handling and
curing of meats can be obtained
from the farm bureau office.
The Nebraska Farm Outlook.
Higher wheat prices, a steady to
firm trend in the corn market, high
hog prices, a weak fat cattle market,
steady to lower prices for butter,
seasonally lower egg prices, and
about steady prices for poultry geem
most probably for the next 30-day
period. Weather will be an impor
tant factor in the corn and produce
markets.
The index of farm prices stood at
136 per cent of pre-war levels in No
vember. This was 4 points below
October and 1 point below Novem
ber, 192S.
Height of Kitchen Stool Important.
For convenience and comfort it is
important that a housewife measure
the height of her kitch?n work stool
by the height of her work table. The
table is of correct height when the
housewife standing with arms bent
at right angles has her elbows eight
inches above the level of the table.
hen the worker is seated her
arms should have the same relation
to the height of the tabl. This calls
for a higher stool than a large num
ber of women have been using. It i
desirable to have the space below
the table top free so that the worker
will have room for her knees under
the table. An additional factor of
comfort is obtained by having a stool
witn a swivel seat and a firm sunnort
for the back. A foot rest bracketed
to the table or to the wall back of
the table does away with the discom
fort of cramped knees which result
when the worker supports her feet
on the rounds of the stool. D. D.
