A Busy Saturday al Vic Swanson’s CASH SYSTEM Saturday was one of the busiest days I have experienced since I start ed in business in Loup City, nearly five yrears ago. I have changed my method of doing business, having gone on the cash basis. We were surprised how many new people took advan tage of the low prices and several made the remark that they could not see how I could sell merchandise at such reduced prices. Remember, I am here to serve the people, to lower the prices and get the business. I will defy any store doing a credit business to sell goods at anywhere near the prices I am selling them for. Instead of having several thousand dollars on my books from year to year, I can use this money and buy merchandise at rock bottom prices. I have no in terest to pay on borrowed money, dis count all my bills, pay cash, lose no accounts. Why can I not sell you mer chandise for a small per cent? Come to us with your cash and we will show you how you can save money. VIC SWANSON THE CASH STORE. Where You Get Good Goods For Less Money. Daily sells for less. Try Chase's first—it pays.

He expects to ship out the tops the latter part of this month, and the balance will go in February or the first of March.—Ravenna News. In “Hearts Adrift” Mary Pickford is seen in a distinctly new role.that of a little Spanish girl, a castaway, who leads a primitive life on a desolate island, where fate later sends another castaway, for whose happiness the little half savage creature sacrifices her life. The pathos of this drama of the shifting sands of time and the surging, changing tides of life is tenderly softened by Miss Pickford’s charming and delicate portrayal. Miss Pickford attains a high dramatic power in this production, and strikes a strong note of uplift in the supreme sacrifice which is the climax of Nina’s devotion to her lover.
