tions that they could not all get into
the hall. In speaking about patrio
tism and ether national questions.
Rev. Taylor did not leave any doubt
as to where he stood on the question
of foreign relations, saying that he
did not believe it was necessary to
ask any foreign country Just hoy
we were to govern our own country,
and believing that the principal of
America for Americans and all ques
tions should be settled by Americans
with the idea of making the entire
nation one depending on America and
the American idea for our own gov
ernment. His address was listened

Oil in a Can
is Like a Race Horse
in a Stall
Lubricating Oil in a bottle or a can may look fine so
may a race horse in a stall. But put the horse on a
track, make him run a half mile and he may prove all
looks and nothing else. The same is true of Motor Oil!
Looks, Color and Extravagant
Claims Mean Nothing at All
It is the test of actual performance that shows up poor
horse and poor oil. Mona Motor Oil does not break
down under the most intense heat. Try a Crank case full.

Worn tires may skid in a pinch they
may blow out at high speed or under quick
braking. 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

you can't match our prices.

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

thanks. 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.
