Be cause of the large wheat crop and the urgent demand, there will lie a pressure for early shipment. The railroads have anticipated a big demand for cars, and several roads have added to their equip ment. Corn has not had much of a chance to make a good showing, but warmer weather will bring if out better than many believe at this time. Some corn has had to lie replanted and many fields are too wet to be worked at this time. Alfalfa has been a good crop, but up-to-date there has been very | few days that work could be done I in the fields, and considerable al falfa has been damaged on that account. Taken all in all, the Sherman county crop will be something to be proud of this year. Though it has been a strenuous season for the farmer, the results, in the end, will repay him for his extra efforts. Now is the time to boost for Sher man county. Unclaimed Letters.

From Oregon, alone, more than 550 carloads of horses have been shipied to the European war zone. It is estimated that these sales brought into Oregon more than a million dollars. Such a report, comiug from the state farthest from the scene of conflict,indicates the extent to which sales of horses and other war supplies have helped turn the balance of trade in our favor, notwithstanding the broad denials of the Secretary of commerce.

Coal Buyers Take Notice, I have decided that we have been carrying too many coal accounts up on our books and have too much expense in collecting them. Com mencing July 1st, we expect to give a discount of 10 per cent to all of our customers who buy and pay cash. Now is the time to put in your storage coal or buy threshing coal. Coal that we sell at $7.50 will only cost you $6.75 per ton. This means cash when you buy the coal. Yours for a cash business.—E. C. | Taylor.

AID FOR COUNTY FAIRS. - I Liist w eek the supreme court of Ne braska declared the 1913 statute rela tive to aid for county fairs unconsti tutional. Happily for the county fair people this law was re-enacted bv the 11915 legislature so as to remove *lie unconstitutional feature and the I present law approved April 13, 1195 is a- follows: Sec. fi. Count y A id to County Fai rs Whenever twenty or more persons. ■ residents of any county in this state, j slia'l organize themselves into a society for the improvement of agri-! culture within said county, and shall I have adopted a constitution and by laws agreeable to the rules and regu lations furnished by the usual and proper officers, and when said society sha 1 have raised and paid into the treasury, by voluntary subscription or by fee imposed upon its members, any sum of money, in each year not less than fifty dollars, and whenever the president of said society shall cert ify to the county clerk the amount thus paid, the county board shall order a warrant to be drawn on the genera] fund of said county in favor of the president of said society for th^sum of five cents on each inhabi tant of said county upon a basis of the last vote for the member of con gress in said county, allowing live inhabitants to each vote: Provided, in counties having less than H.000 population the county board may allow an additional three cents, in the manner as directed for the live cents: anc said county board shall include the sum in its annual estimate, and it shall be the duty of the treasurer of ' he county to pay the, sum out of the general fund. No moneys so re ceived shall be used in payment for speed: Provided, if any existing county agricultural society fails for two years or more to hold an annual fair of at least three days' duration, then any agricultural society in the county, duly organized and formed ; for a similar purpose and governed by I the rules of this chapter, and who shall hold an annual lair of at least! three days' duration, may apply for and shall be allowed the amount above designated in this section. Sec. 2. Repeals. That said original Secrion 6. Revised Statutes ofNe-i braska, 1913, is hereby repealed. THE GOOD CITIZEN. We can not help admiring the * men and women who place the welfare of the community side by side with their own. To our mind tney are good citizens, and the town or countrywide is blessed by their presence. We have such citizens—many of them—here abouts. and you find them always giving the local business man the benefit of tne doubt, the opportuni ty of making a sale. If the local dealer has the article they want at a fair price they prefer to buy from him, knowing full well that in buying from him they are en hancing the welfare of themselves, the dealer, and the whol^ communi ty. They are constant readers of the advertisements in the local paper, and because of this practice they know where best to find that which they seek before they go out to buy. And then there are some citizens who are not of this class, who make a regular practice of getting stung by sending their cash to the foreign dealer who values their money and not them. Life is sweet —while the kissable j lips hold out. ODD BITS OF NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE • Accidental Discharge of Pistol During Playful Struggle Causes Death of Young Couple—Snapping Turtle Liked Looks of Pretty Pink Toes. Hillsboro, O.

Kansas—An Englishman who publishes a newspajier here which is read largely by Germans, has retained the popularity of his paper by suppressing all war news and not allowing his own opinions to get into his paper. Pins and Dollars. Some i»eople never fail to bend their backs to pick up a pin, and yet let the dollars slip right through their fingers without even a blink. They grasp at the shadow while the substance marches by. If the point of a pin is facing you it is supposed to be good luck to pick it up. But there are greater values and better opportunities for luck than in stooping your shoulders in a futile search for pins. Read the ads in this paper if you want to find luck in big chunks and pick up dollars instead of pins. Our advertising columns are full of splendid opportunities every week, and they are to be had simply for the reading and the taking. Forget the pins and go after bigger game. Read the ads and pick up the dollars. Try Loup City Flour.
