ABY ills a id ailments seem twice as serious at nicnt. a sudden mav mean diarrhea. How would you meet this emergency tonight? Have you a bottle of Castona ready? , For the protection of your wee one for your own peace of mind keep this old. reliable preparation always on hand. But don't keep it just for emergencies; let it be an everyday aid. It's gentle influence will ease and soothe the infant who cannot sleep. It's mild regulation will help an older child whose tongue is coated because of sluggish bowels. All druggists have Castoria. son. Here is where the shrewdness of the Stewart shows itself. He had two sets of contracts, one was a forgery. The tenant signed a con tract to pay a hundred measures of oil, and to his landlord he would show a contract for fifty measures. Another man signed a contract to pay a hundred measures of wheat, and the landlords contract called for only eighty; the difference went in to his pocket. This shows his dis honesty. Things went along this way a long time, but rumors reached his employer that his steward wis not getting rich bv honest means. His niasier called him. to give an ac count of his stewardship, at the same time he got notice that he would lose his place. Afraid that his double dealing will now be exposed, and he will be discharged with dishonor, he has been given a few days to make up his accounts, and he uses this lime well, calling in all the tenants, and has all their contracts changed, re duced. In this wey. he argues with himself, these fellows will help me when I lose my job. I can rely on hem to Rive me a helping hand and was not able to get away until al s .iu;e when aae joined the husband. They expect to make their iiome here for the present. Complete Gravel to Murdock. The laying of the gravel to the city limits of he city of Murdock completed during this week thus the link of better roads closed to Murdock and she has an all weather road to the out-world. was and was ' now side Likes Cass County Fine. Emil Lau wps in town on last Wednesday and in conversation with the writer, was telling of his having resided fa Cass county and near Mur dock for the psst fS years. Mr. Lau came here from Iowa in 1873, and has resided here ever since. During the entire 58 years since he came here, he has not been outside of the state. He wtm not over 100 miles from Murdoch during al! the time. He says there is no place like Mur dock and vicinity .rtl has during the time which he has resided here, always found plenty to eat and many friends end a good market for all that was grown. He never has owned an automobile and has only ridden in one r few times. He believes there is safety and solid comfort in the driving and riding behind a good team of trusty horses. homes. The tenants are made to be I lieve that they have their rent re duced and were according glad and j happy. The steward was the loser, i but he had made a number of friends, i This double deiling of the steward ; was brought out in the day of the I accounting : of course the one ci i of contracts were destroyed, bat his i lord saw -he "' heme. Here ends the narable. and Jesus makes this Baggastioa to his hear ers. hat they should aae their en trusted wealth wisely: take B les ! son from this steward, who was a ' cieceiver to his lord, unjust to the .ants, hut acted wise in self-inter- est. If man could only realize thai ali I they accumulate and call their own Is only given to them to use in the service for God and man: and the more they possess, the greater is their responsibility, for the day to give an account for our stewardship is coming. God cannot be bribed nor deceived, he will mete out to every man. according to how he has been faithful. It will be well for men to have the judge their friend. IB that dav.

Stoliey Park at Grand Island. Chad ron Park Bear Chadron, and Victoria Springs Park in Custer county, a lew miles from Broken Bow. At Arbor Lodge in the saeefc at j grounds are growing speciment- f every tree that may be grown in the soil and climate of N hra.-.ka. The flower gardens, adjoining the fine old mansion that houses many relics of great historic value, are now at their i nest. Arnor L.ouge is a bower ot na ture's beauty. The historical sel iting and the memories of J. Sterling 'Morton, its founder, that invest the place, give this park a unique plies lis the affections of Nebraskans. Stoliey Park is a part of the home stead of Wm. Stoliey and is 42 acres j in extent. Wm. Stoliey loved taasa. jln 1SC1 he planted 5.000 of them; Thousands were planted later. The old Mormon Trail passes the park. One of the buildings contains the i timbers of old Fori Independence. I Which was maintained by the govern ment as a protection from Indians in early days. An old log cabin, thatch ed with slough grass, and the first frame school .house to be erecieu in Hall county are both in good state of preservation. Chadron Park is totally unlike any other of the state parks. Nature has done the planting. Time and ele ments have propogated the pine tim ber. Nature is here seen la one of her wild and most bewitching moods. A clear mountain brook sings its way through the park. Cabins and camp ing grounds under the clear skies and favored with cool breezes blow ing down from the hilltops bring thousands of tourists to this popular recreation spot every year. Victoria Springs Park derives its name from a grnup ol mineral springs. The citizens of Custer coun y gave this beautiful park to the people of the state in 19 2". Two log cabins: built in 1873. are very interesting to visitors. The mineral water is much sought after. Tlx i are fine camping and picnic grounds, good shade, delightful surroundings and a good road to the park. These parks are under control of the Nebraska Game. Forestation k Parsk Commission. They are super intended and policed by state keep ers. Visitors are always welcome. Will Hold Banquet Soon.

"Not that the welcome itself it not real but behind all of the great kindness shown us. there is to be detected some lurking feeling of dis like for Americans.

Ncitzf 1 The I n hist Steward" Luke 16:1-12 i The details of this somewhat diffi cult parable :re nrobablv not sitrni- I Bcant. It is intended to illustrate the proper use of wealth. Christians should ess 't so well here on earth, bv expending h not selfishly on their own pleasure, but unselfishly for the good of other,, and for the advance ment of God's Kingdom, that instead of hindering them from rearhing heaven, K will help them to enter there. The prudence (foresight of the steward is commended in this parable, not his dishonesty. There was a rich landowner, who had more than he could oversee, so he employ ed t1 Stewart who had instructions from his employer, how to let out the land to renters, who were to pay their rent :n shares, or in pro reed irom the land. This steward let 'his land out to different tenants, drawing un contracts, what each must deliver at the close of the sea- our relations with r ranee. 1 bev are a kind, loving, enterprising people and we must make them know that friendship is real. It will help some if we lower our tariff wall. France's apparent immunity from the depression and unemployment taoai which nearly all the rest of the world is suffering has impressed the mayors more than anything else en countered in their journey thus far. In a series of statements given the Associated Press today bv members of the party the words "prosperity." ! "unemployment," "industry" and "thrift" recur in a steady refrain. French hospitality, the beauty of French cities, the richness of France's come in for praise, but it is her pros perity that has evoked most com ment. "So far we have seen no effects of the war. ;inly prosperity." said May or Baker of Portland. Ore. "The most interesting impression cf this great republic" to Mayor Por ter of Los Angeles is "its industrious citizenry, which has resulted in the almost entire elimination of any un employment." Mayor Hoan of Milwaukee found in Fiance's simple agricultural meth ods one explanation of her compara tive freedom from unemployment. These methods, he said, "furnish one of the most convincing reasons for believing that our rapid introduction of machinery is a cause of most of our unemployment. The reflection I which France gives me is that we with our machines must find means of cutting the hours of labor while j maintaining wages." "The thrift and industry of the people are my leading impression." said former Mayor liroening of Iial-timore. Crain Corporation. I "New ternijnHi j.!H Bubterminal jstorage capacity through oat the coun try has been increased an estimated 40,000.000 bushels." said Mr. If 11- nor. "Assuming that the carry-over June HO will he between S75, 000,004 and 300.000.000. approximately thai of last year, and th new crop will he as large as the crop of 1H30. it is obvious that, considering the new storage, there will be more space ir. proportion .to supplies than a year ago. It appears certain, also, that farm facilities have been increased materially during the last rear." Storage space controlled by Far mer,' National Grain Corporation. Mr. Milnof said, is greatly in exeeai of that held by the corporation a l year ago and the total will probably j be well 'over 2O,00,OOO bushels. I "The Farmers' National Grain j Corporation." he said, "has complet j ed arrangements whereby additional jstorage capacity of 2.225,000 buaheia , is being added to th lflSBOUri-Paci-; fic elevator Si Kai.as City. Th- 'will give the cornor tion T.TTTi.oOO bushels capacity in ibat market. Ne gotiations are under way for addi tional elevator space in Omaha. Min jneapolis. Duluth, Chicago, Denver I and Spokane, a larr- pari of which jw'll be available before the new crop starts to move. On the Pacific coast i arrangements have teen completed for storage space as follows: Seattle. 2.250.000 bushels: Tacoma. 100.000 ! bushels, Portland. 2,000,000 bush iele. and Astoria, 35' .000 bushels."

The -urvey. conducted under th" .auspices of the Chicago Church Fed I eration. brought out that Chicago had been "settled in four great epochs characterized by the diverse I racial stocks of the settlers and im- migrants." The first era of immigration was 'that of the old American stock of the ! fir; t settlement. This pe riod extend ed from 1833 to 1850.

The third epoch. ; which continued until the World War. drew its immigrations from southern and eastern Europe. The j fourth period began after the World War and runs to date. Contrary to the previous influx it has increased the number of Protestants in Chi cago. The largest church in the city, the survey observed, is a Negro Baptist cburch with from 12,000 to 14,000 members. The excessive mobility of the city is putting a strain on certain churches, commented the survey. City-wide organizations of churches are taking the strength of the strong est and placing it at the disposal of the weakest. There is no indication, it observed, that labor is deserting the church.
