GREETINGS.
We sincerely extend to you the
compliments of this Christmas season.
May Providence deal gently with you
and yours, to the end that in the full
ness of life and the ripeness of age I
you may reap bountifully of the bless- j
ings that accrue to man and woman
kind.
As you follow the Star of Destiny
through life, may your acts and your
examples be such as to prove an in
spiration to others who are yet grop
ing in the shadows of existence.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, a
Happy New Year, and a prosperous
and extended journey through life.
THE NORTHWESTERN.
Christmas, 1916.
The dove of peace is fluttering
again.
Pass along the Christmas cheer.
Only pigs “hog it all” for themselves.
When the high cost of living be
comes unbearable we can roll over and
die.
That Christmas turkey will taste
fine for those who have the price of
the turkey.
Many a joke contains more truth
than poetry, and some ot a bit of
either.
We’ve crowded a whole lot into this
sinful old year 1916, most of which
should be crowded out again.
After kicking the dog, the only ap
propriate thing left for you to do is
to go out in the back yard and kick
yourself.
The idle rich of Europe have been
forced to the dire extremity of going
» to work to ekrn bread and butter.
Which, praise will be some aid to
digestion.

THE MAN WHO QUITS.
The man who quits has a brain and
hand
As good as the next; but he lacks the
sand
That would make him stick, with a
courage stout,
To whatever he tackles, and fight it
out.
He starts with a rush, and a solemn
vow,
That he’ll soon be showing the others
how;
Then something new strikes his rov
ing eye.
And his task is left for the bye and
bye.
It’s up to each man what becomes of
him;
He must find in himself the grit and
vim
That bring success; he can get the
skill, \
If he brings to task a steadfast will,
will.
No man is beaten till he gives in;
Hard luck can’t stand for a cheerful
grin;
The man who fails needs a better ex
cuse
Than the quitter’s whining “What’s
the use?”
For the man who quits lets his
chances slip.
Just because he’s too lazy to keep his
grip.
The man who sticks goes ahead with
a shout,
While the man who quits joins the
“down and out.”

240 Pound Pigs.
With corn 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 pro
fit.
When you are ready to put your
shoacs on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly
acd watch your shoats round out into
fat hogs in nine months—hogs going
well over 200 pounds and as high as
240 pounds. Figure the average feed
ing and you will see wjiy the B. A.
Thomas medicine is a good invest
ment. Try feeding out your hogs on
this plan and if you are not more than
pleased, we will refund the cost of
the medicine.—J. J. Slominski, Loup
City.
ADVANCE IN PRICES
HOW WE HAVE PROTECTED OUR CUSTOM
ERS IN SHREWD BUYING—
Owing to the enormous increase in prices covering materials used
in the manufacture of the Buick product, they were compelled to
make a move in one of the following directions:—
Either lower the standard of production, or maintain their past and
present standard with an increased price upon their producton.
We are firmly convinced that you, under no circumstances, would
want to see them lower the standard of their production: and so it
has been definitely decided to advance the prices. The new list prices
F. O. B. factory effective January 15th, 1917, are as follows:
Model 0-35, 4-Cylinder Touring Car..$675
Model D-45, 6-Cylinder Touring Car...__$1070
But we have bought Sixteen cars and you will benefit by the price as
long as they last as follows:
Model 0-35, 4-Cylinder Touring Car...$665
Model 0-45, 6-Cylinder Touring Car..$1020

CHURCH NOTES.
Methodist.
Sunday School at Wiggle Creek next
Sunday at 2:30. Christmas sermon by
the pastor at 3:30. We hope the
weather man will give us a chance this
time. We are discovering that the
country folks make more of an effort
to get out than many town people.
We had 190 at Sunday School inj
spite of the weather. Audiences were
all that could have been expected.
Epworth League at 6:30 led by Miss
Delphine Daddow. Topic, "The First
Christmas Circle and Ours.” Sermon
at 10:30, "Facing the Fact of Christ.”
The annual Christmas Exercises by
the Sunday School will be given Sun
day Evening at 7:30. It will be a very
interesting program. Everybody in
vited.
It is the sincere wish and prayer of
the parsonage folks that whatever of
joy or sorrow may have come into
your life throughout the past year:
and whatever your outlook may be this
Christmastide, that Christ’s Joy,
Peace and Strength may be yours in a
larger measure than ever before. We
wish you each and all a Happy Christ
mas.
The members of the church will re
ceive very soon a greeting and mes
sage and card containing a good resolu
tion. If you do not receive it we want
to hear from you. Mistakes will occur
but unintentionally. The plan for the
coming weeks of the winter time is a
possible one for our membership. Sign
the card at once and either mail it or
bring it to the pastor. It you cannot
make it 5 out of 10, cross out the 5 and
fix it to suit yourself. Fix it right. We
want to thank you all for your heartv
support and to ask for a continuance
of the same.

Presbyterian.
The Christmas Exercise given by
the Sunday School will be on Friday
evening. This promises to be one of
the best the school have ever given.
Seven-thirty is the hour.
Sunday morning at 10:30 the pas
tor will preach a Christmas sermon,
and in the evening the choir will ren
der a Christmas Oratorio, written by
Dudley Buck, entitled “The Coming
of the King.” The words of the
Oratorio are nearly all scripture, or
else bearing diFectly upon scripture,
bringing out various phases of the
coming of Christ into the world, such
as The Prophecy, The Annunciation,
The Visit of the Magi, The Questioning
by Harod, The Adoration, etc. This
is something out of the ordinary. The 1
choir consistin^of about fifteen voices
has been doing some hard work in the 1
preparation, and we are sure it will be :
worth your while to attend. We ex- i
tend a hearty welcome to all.
The contest in the Sunday School .
between the Hustlers and the Rustlers
is getting to be quite interesting. Say
men, one of the Hustlers said he was
going to bring twenty-five with him
next Sabbath, if you do not want to
pay for that banquet, you had better
get busy.
The subject for Christian Endeavor
Sunday evening is: ‘‘Helping to Ac
complish the Purpose of Christ’s Com
ing.” Miss Lena Smith will be the
leader.

The crux of the litigation for the
interpretation of the Adamson law
turns upon whether the statute per
mits the railroads to exact a full eight
hours’ of labor in return for a dayfs
pay. If the answer is in the affirma
tive, it is evident that the railroads
will be the gainers—for the existing
contracts with their men, based upon
a combination of time and mileage
service, now produce a day and a half
of pay for what is often times only
five or six hours of work. The Brother
hoods, of course want to eat their
cake and have it, too. And this is
axiomatically impossible.
FOR SALE.
