one award of contract was made that
being the northeast route which was
awarded to Albert Theil. The two
others were deferred until another
meeting. In the matter of the appli
cations for the position of caretaker,
there were some seven applications
but as the law requires that for ev
ery application the one making the
application shall be present or be
represented, the applications were
not opened and another meeting was

have made great use, others little,
others none at all and are accord
ingly recompenced, some by being
placed over ten cities (a great re
ward) others over five cities ( a less
reward) others by being entirely ex

ture Kingdom.
The taking of the pound from the
man who did not use it, signifies that
facilities which are not U9ed, are
finally lost and the giving of the
pound to him who had ten alrendv
signifies that those facilities ten

also, perhaps, indicate different
states of blessedness assigned to the
saved in accordance with their be
havior in the previous state of pro
bation on earth.
This parable, like so many others
assigns to Jesus the position of King
and Judge of the human race. It
may therefore be fairly used to prove
His Divinity. Verse 14 may have
special reference to Christ's rejec
tion by the Jews after His rassti rrec
tion and ascension. Verse 2 7 de
scribes the final punishment of ! ose
who reject Christ, it may als i ave
reference to the temporal de. ruc
truction of those Jews who rejected
Christ a the fall of Jerusalem.
No man will have a valid i use
before his Judge. All men have
some God-given talent, that should
be developed and used for the glory
of God and for the good of man.
What a pity, that so many make no
use of them, they idle away their
time. All should set their children
and neighbors a good example by
attending devine services. Their ali
bi will not go with the righteous
Judge, they must make good, no ex
cuse will be received. It will be ter
rible when the Son of man shall
say: "Depart from me ye cursed, in
to everlasting fire, prepared for the
devil and his angles."

Lads Catch Big Fish.
Not the best bait nor the long ex

ways count when it comes to catch
ing fish. For some time Messrs. Glen
Buck and Richard Eppings have been
desiring to go fishing and their
friend. I. G. Hornbeck. bad been
promising them an opportunity to
try their luck, for it must be luck.
As I. G. could not drive the car. Miss
Elsa Bornemeier prepared a supper
and also agreed to drive the car and
all went to the lakes east of Louis
ville where they camped and also
had a delightful supper. They were
joined by John Eppings and family
and J. H. Buck and family, both
these gentlemen being expert fisher
men. All got down to the fishing
and soon the young men were able
to catch a six pound cat fish which
surely looked big to all, for it took
both the young lads to carry it by
the gills. By agreement it was given
to Richard as it would feed one
family nicely. The gentlemen, John
Buck and John Eppings. tried very
hard and long, but they did not even
get a bite.

Parables of Jesus.
By L. Neitzel
"Parable of the Pounds."
Luke 19:11-28
We find a similar parable in Mat
hew 25:14-30, the parable of the
Talents. It differs from that in the
introduction of the rebellious citi
zens, in its graduation of the re
wards and punishments of the next
world, in representing future bliss
as a state of social activity, in a per
fect community.
The nobleman is Christ Himself,
who goes into a far country (heaven)
to receive for Himself a Kingdom
(Almighty power over the universe)
and to return (at his second advent).
He calls His ten servant (all the
members of His church) and en
trusts them with a pound each. i. e.
all their bodily, mental and spirit
ual capacities. The citizens who
hate Him, are the enemies of Christ.
They are called His citizens because
even the wicked are by right His sub
jects, seeing that He has created and
redeemed them. On His return (to j
judge the world) He summons the i
ten sevant6 (such Christians as ap
pear to have been faithful to their I
trust) and inquire what use they !
have made of th capacitie ana op
portunities entrusted to them. Some
Announcement by the Firestone
Tire & Rubber Company that more
Firestone Tires were sold during the
months of April, May. and June than
in any three-month period in his
tory strikingly indicates the domin
ant position held by Firestone in tiie
tire industry, says G. K. Pet ring, the
local Firestone dealer.
"The tremendous increase in de
mand for Firestone Tires." points
out the Firestone dealer, "necessi
tates Ihe operation of Firestone fac
tories 24 hours a day, 6 days a week,
to fill the Bteadily mounting volume
of orders.
"Mr. Firestone recognizes that
this is the year the public wants
greater values than ever before. This
is particularly true of tires, and Mr.
Mirestone is passing on to car own
ers all of the tremendous savings he
has achieved through greater manu
facturing efficiency, purchase of ran
materials at the source, and the most j
efficient and economical distributing;
system, by building the biggest,
strongest and safest tires ever made,
and selling them at the lowest prices
in history.
'TJuring the past year Firestone
has placed tire buying on an entire
ly new basis by making it possible
for car owners to see inside tire con
struction. Cross sections have been
furnished so rubber volume, weight

"In tires, as in their other pur
chases, the public wants to see the
facts before they buy. They recog- j
nize that the only way to get the
facts about tires is to examine cross

The result of this new plan of tire
buying has been the establishment
by Firestone of the greatest sales
record in Firestone history."

Br.untiful harves of corn and wheat
were forecast today by the agricul

average is 822, 00. (too bushels.
The department said the season

However, the July 1 average of
crop conditions was about 2 per cent
higher than last year and between
1 and 2 per cent lower than the 10
year average.
A sharp increase in the estimated
winter wheat production was noted
as compared with the June 1 fore
cast. During the month, favored by
excellent growing conditions, the
prospects improved until a crop of
713,000,000 bushels was foreseen as
compared with the June estimate of
649,000,000.
The 1930 winter Wheal production
was 612 million and the tiv yen
average is a 4 7 million bushels.
A sarp reduction in spring wheat,
caused by drouth conditions and :i
19 per cent cut in plantings, will
bring the 1931 crop down to 124
million bushels against 194 million
last year and a five-year average of
207 million. Durum wheat produc
tion was forecast at
els as compared with

The department estimated the
total reduction in wheat acreage this
year at 4.7 per cent under 1930 in
dicating a definite trend toward
I smaller crops in the face of existing
i heavy surpluses and continued low
prices.
Stocks of old wheat on farms were
estimated at 32.121,000 bushels
against 47.161,000 last year.
The department said fruit crops
likely will be well above average.
Increases in the apple and peach

FUTURES FIGHT ON D ALTON
Dalton, July 10. The Dalton Co
operative society, one of the oldest
and most successful farm co-operatives
in Nebraska, is facing a cri.-i-over
the issue of grain futures deal
ing. Thirty-five stockholders have al
leged themselves with E. W. Bloine
and L. R. Dirks opposing the brae
tice and have demanded the two be
seated as directors. Blome and Dirks
claim they were elected directors
June 9 and threaten suit to gain
their seats.
Followers of C. A. Baker and L.
W. Chickester. whom Blome and
Dirks would succeed, contend the
June 9 election was illegal bscsui
too many proxy votes were cast.
The antifutures faction answer
they had enough votes even without
the proxies. They say Chairman B.
L. Gillespie of the board disnbeyed
the bvlaws in refusing to call a board
meeting for the election. E. L. Hyde,
attorney for Blome and Dirks, has
threatened to file suit and tie up the
r o-operai i ve's business unless his
clients are seated.
The society has handled most of
the wheat grown on the Dalton table,
called the richest wheat land in Nebraska.

in this locality are believed beyond
hope of any yield, many wheat field
are expected to produce fifteen bush
els to the acre.
Stunted by the long drouth, how
ever, most of these fields must he
harvested with a combine or a head

grain to head out at as low as six
and eight inches from the ground.
Many of the farmers cut their grain
for hay during the height of the dry
weather.
Corn is in good condition and is
expected by farmers to make a bum
