Another nephew is in the army in Canada. He obtained a furlough to attend the funeral. The Masons are trying to get him out so he can help attend the farm. AGAIN THE OLD REFRAIN, “ANY RAGS,” ETC. The once familiar refrain. "Any rags, any bones, any bottles today?” appears likely to be revived shortly, and with new- significence In the fu ture when you hear the junkman’s crj you will probably bring forth a care fully treasured store of old coats and dresses and discarded clothing of all kinds, and in happy contrast with for mer experiences—you will get real money for them. For old rags are valuable today. / That the war has increased the market value of our old rags from 100 to 200 per cent is an astonishing thing But it is only another evidence of the intricate and innumerable ties that link even the simple affairs of our own quiet homes with the ponderous up heaval in unhappy Europe. In explaining how the war has caused rags to advance, C. O. Brown, of Kansas City, whose house the Gen eral Roofing Manufacturing Com pany, is the largest user of rags for roofing felt in the country, spoke as follows: Because we Americans lack thrift in such small things as saving old rags, there has not been inducement to de velop a proper system of rag collec tion. As a result large importations of rags from Europe have been neces sary. With the beginning of the wrar foreign rags became hard to get and were secured with increasing diffi culty until a few months ago when the ! fron < ■ li (rnonnn <v> .. a. - - 0w . V. • * i. iv/1 uuuv- tuou port. Similar action by England and Holland quickly followed. Of course, shipments from Russia, Germany and Italy had been shut off long before, so American manufacturers today are dependent on the rags collected in this country. At the same time, said Mr. Brown, “there came this great prosperity wave, bringing a big de mand for roofing as well as other rag stock products, such as bun cotton cheap woolens, high-grade papers, etc With the demand rapidly swallowing the visible supply, rag prices already high, began to rise and with swift jumps have mounted to the highest level for years.” “In the face of this situation,” said Mr. Brown, “we. like every other manufacturer, were confronted with the necessity of either paying big prices for rags or using cheaper and inferior materials for making roofing felt. To cheapen the puality of our advertised product. Certain-teed roof ing, would be suicidal, and neither are felt. To cheapen the quantity of our other products, so we are paying higher prices and of necessity asking more for our goods.” There are plenty of rags in this country, according to Mr. Brown, and the prices they are bringing are high enough to make it worth while for any family to save them. School boys, church societies, the Salvation Army and other agencies are adding to their funds by collecting rags for the local junk man, who will also buy old rub ber, paper glass, metal, etc. People are learning the worth of their ac cumulation oif “rubbish” and the thrifty habit of saving and selling will, no doubt, continue, even should the moderate at the close of the war. Mr. Brown was in Loup City in con ference with local distributors of Certain-teed Roofing last Friday. Villa is alive again. Do it yourself and it will be done. Is this your home town? Treat it as such. If unable to determine the exact cost of the war each day, just come to the office and we’ll tell you mighty quick how much you owe us. NO SORE SPOTS. The verdict of the voters at Tues day's primaries leaves no sore spots During the entire campaign I receivec from my opponents courteous anc friendly treatment. At this time it ap pears to be uncertain as to whethei Mr. McKelvie or Judge Sutton will be the standard bearer. Either would be a worthy choice and make for the sue cess of the republican party at the general election. There cannot be the slightest doubt but that the vot ers of Nebraska will ratify the choice by the republican primaries, at the November election, and it will give me great pleasure to contribute to hi: election by every means in my powei The splendid endorsement I re eeived in every precinct of my home city is a source of great pride and sat isfaction to me and compensale,s fo: the sacrifice in time and energy in making the campaign. Sincerely, C. J. MILES. - -—■ Box Scores in the Journal. The State Journal has announced that it will carry full box scores of National. Amerisan and Western league, games throughout the baseball season. This means that readers of the Journal who are lovers of the great national pastime are to be given the best there is in baseball reporting. For the fan who is unable to attend the game in person there is nothing so atisfying as baseball statistics in this form. The Evening News also begins, with the opening of the Western League, to issue a 6 o’clock sport extra. This will be a peach colored sport sheet detailing the league games and latest in war bulletins, for sale on the streets. The Journal is now selling at a re markablv low price, $3.50 a year with the Sunday Journal and its colored comic and special features; or $2 a year without the Sunday paper. In cities where the Evening News can give the reader better service, the News may be substituted at the same price as that quoted for the Journal. In addition to baseball, which promises to be an all-absorbing topic in many circles for some months to come, thousands of readers will want to follow the political conventions and the fall election. A year’s subscription to the Journal carries the subscriber through the next session ofthe Legis lature. The thoroughness with which the Journal "covers” the legislature is a by-word among newspaper men and laymen the state over." Then there is the great European war and the Mexican difficulty. The Sunday Journal carries many features of state interest, such as its recently added state news page de voted to social and allied events, sent in by the Journal's large staff of state correspondents. The colored comic is a great thing for the children and Birsky and Zapp, the funny phi losophers, will thoroughly amuse the grown-ups. The price is small, so write at once.

The eastern magazine publishing “that the fertile land of Nebraska ex tended west about seventy-five miles from the Missouri river” is respect fully requested to select some point east of said river where it can show a rural population of 103,957 securing from .corn. ^ wheat, oats, hay, horses, mijch cows, other cattle and swine a total valuation of $54,036,058 or about $519 per capita, from their 1915 crop production and animal holdings as en umerated.

Another pleasing fact about the people who inhabit these counties is that they have more than eighteen million dol lars deposited in their banks.

A farmer In a Kansas county, not ■ long ago, became very wrathful at his banker because the banker refused to allow him to draw out $3,000 to make a mysterious deal with two strangers. The swindling nature of the deal came to light before the day was over and then the farmer could not thank : the banker enough for saving him. I When a' stranger proposes any kind of a deal and requests you to kkep | it secret from your banker, get to I the bank as soon as possible and lay I the details bare. Always remember that the bank which holds your money has a financial object in keeping you from being swindled.—Nebraska Farm Journal. When work is a pleasure w-e all fed rich.
