The purpose of this change is to
give those who for various reasons
might find it inconvenient to tune
in at 10:00 p. m., e. d. t. an oppor
tunity of hearing each of the three
Chesterfield programs at an earlier
hour. This, so far as is known, is
the firs time a six-day a week pro
gram has ever been put on a two
time schedule.
When this alternating schedule
goes into effect, September 6, the
series starring Ruth Etting, the Bos
well Sisters and Arthur Tracy, the
"Street Singer," will be heard there
after at 10:00 p. m. e. t. d., on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The sequence of the artists' perform
ances will not be changed but their
time schedules will be altered as fol
lows (all e. d. t.):

Making it Easier to Buy
There has been a condition since
the operation of the stores of Nehaw
ka on a. cash basis that it was diffi
cult to have the ready money for
the purchase of goods needed from
the store. The Sheldon store has
arranged to overcome this condition
and will receive ear corn on pur
chases made at the store at the mar
ket price. It does not matter if you
bring one sack or a truck load. They
have a crib for its reception and will
receive it at the market price, mis
will make it esasier to make the pur
chase of things that are needed in
the home.
