There are over 1.000 rural routes in Nebraska and the most money the United States government appropri ate for the use of each state will be spent on mail routes.

This i to con tinue for five years and the amount :o be given by, this government will in crease. The past week has been extremely hot. The only corn that has suffered is corn that was too thick, too weedy, or on sandy soil. Two-thirds of the grain is in the shock or thrashed. Al falfa is all put up the second time. Corn silking is good, wild hay stood the hot weather fine. Pastures ha'-e got very short. Flies have been hard on cattle and horses the past month.

Let us make it as good or better than last year. It will be a hard time parade. All automobiles instead of heading the parade will bring up in the rear, showing hard times in the front and prosperity in the rear. Plan your float now. Pon’t wait until the last minute. Build up your float in your mind and it wWl not be so hard to decide on the way and the kind at the last minute. Re member the day and the date. The first Monday in September or Labor day. By the time I get home it will be only a few days until the day of the pieinc. This year you will get two bottles of pop for five cents and two ice cream cones for five cents.

Remember its ycur picinc a;> much a? mine. Chase's for fresh groceries. The big talker often says little things Villa, in the number of his lives, has shoved the cat off the map. Every man is supposed to be the architect of his own fortune, but many of the forget to build. This is good, bur it isn’t ours: "In ternational law is an old fiddle upon which any tune cvan be played. "Who is to blame because our army is net supplied with machine guns?'’ asks the Illinois Manufacturers’ News. Carranza, of course. Wilson raised the embargo on arms and ammuni tion going to him, and Carranza corn ered the market on machine guns.

Some choice long j yearlings brought $9.75. Bulk of tho | fair to good 1,000 to 1,250-pound cat j tie sold around $8.85@ 9.35.

Some of the early shipping pur chases were made around 5@10c low I er. The packers bought most of their hogs at about a 15c lower basis than at the close of last week. A good share of the packers hogs sold at $9.15@9.25, many strings selling at | $9.20. There was a fair showing of i the good to choice lights, and butch ers on up, the top being $9.70. Receipts of sheep and lambs for - Monday were the largest since the ! range season opened, some 63 loads | or about 17,000 head were reported in. Owing to the heavy supply pack ers made their early bids on a 15c to some instances a quarter lower basis. Bulk of the lambs sold at $10.50® 10.65, nothing going above the latter figure. The supply of native mutton on hand here was very large, and prices were weak to 10@15c lower. Yearlings and wethers stopped at $7.70.

With com above 50 cents hogs eat their heads off very quickly. The hog that takes two or three months to get on full feed never brings you ! a profit. When you are ready to put your shoats on feed, begin with the B. A. Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly and watch your shoats round out int o fat hogs in nine months—hogs ; going well over 200 pounds and as high as 240 pounds. Figure the av : erage feeding and you will see why the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good investment. Try feeding out your hogs on this plan and if you are not more than pleased, we will refund i the cost of the medicine. —J. J. Slo minski.
