They are as untrustworthy in an emergency as worn-out brakes. Insure your safety and that of your pas sengers by outfitting with non-skid, durable tires of the Tery highest quality. And that means U. S. Royals built by the world's largest producer of rubber. The Tread That Gives Maximum Road Grip The deep-notched tread of U. S. Royals is designed to give maximum road grip, sure braking and an increase in driving ease. i And this same tread is made so tough that U. S. Royals last for thousands of miles longer than other tires of Jhe same price. You can't duplicate this quality and you can't match our prices. c3Sui 9 darage Riattsmouth; Nebraska 'Under direction of the gov ernor," the document added, "all purchasing, except real emergency purchases, are be ing made through the state purchasing department at a great saving.

Miss SHORTER DAYS REQUESTED Cleveland Reduction of the maxi mum hours per day and the number GUTTING PRODUCTION Widespread publicity lias been given the following editorial comment on curtailing farm production. The logical deduc tions of ihe Nebraska Oity News-Press point out, in the opinion of many editors, tiie folly and danger of the federal farm board: If it is smart for the farm board or any other governmental agency to advise or enforce curtailing the pro duction of wheat which is doubtful AN APPRECIATION omniscience why isn't it also smart to tell the pig grower to educate his sows to raise five instead of eight pigs per littler? If education won't do it, and birth control is not yet highly developed in the porcine fam ily, knocking 'em in the head might reduce the production and raise the price. in enect that's what the farm board suggests as the "one way out" for the farmer with, respect to wheat, which does have a lamentable sumlus to worry about, but if wheat is cur- may tailed in the United States and the price goes up in accordance with farm rest of the world from taking ad- maha' ebr vantage of the situation to fill the gaping hole in the bread basket? A farmer writes to a farm journal that he has saved eight pigs from each litter on his fa rni. He is proud or it, just as he should be, for he On Saturday, May 30th 1 revolved a very beautiful box of flowers spec ial delivery from the Social YVm Kris' Flower club which when placed in a vase gave the room a very proity added attraction and brought vvoiii of praise from all who wore lucky to feast their eyes on their beauty.

Jess Baker, Douglas Coun ty Hospital, 40th and Poppleton, were found abandoned in a wagon near the south end of the Loup river bridge, in such a position that they could not readily be seen from the highway. Questioned by police, they said they had been there alone, with out food or drink, since Saturday noon when a friend who was taking them to Osceola left them, saying he would return in a short while. The women were on their way to Osceola to visit the grave of their husband and father. They have been living in Dattle Creek the past win ter, where they received aid I'rom the county, they said. Chief of Police Brandon and Traf fic Officer Bock took sandwiches, coffee and water to the two women and advised them to remain there for the night. Next morning the of ficers secured a teamster to hitch the women's two mules to the wagon and drive it to Hall's tourist camp, where arrangements were made for the women to stay a while.
