sown to wheat last fall, because of
the prospect of large returns. 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.

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.

pelts from his son D. L. Mulick. of
1‘erma. Montana, this week. The
largest hide is that of a cinnamon
bear and the other one a black
bear. Young Mulick must be
somewhat of a hunter to bag two
such fine specimens. Mr. Mulick
will have the i>elts made into rugs,
which will enable him to warm
his feet when he crawls out of bed
on cold mornings next winter.

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.

salary, and, to boot, sell the cloak
room "privilege'" for 8150 a month.

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.
