D LOANS - NEBRASKA -vSSS-ASS It Sounds Like Wedding Bells The Chief .this week received a letter from Keller N. Coplen, who formerly resided here, being in the Webster County jank, but who is now living In Garden Grove, California, where he Is connected with The Hunk of Garden Grove. He encloses a draft for SI. 00 and requests that we send him the Chief for one year, and states that California is a real paradise, and that Nebraskr does not look good to him any more. Keller tells us he has been in the bank there for about eighteen months and is getting along tine, lie states that he has bought him a fine home, and Is preparing for his sister and a friend, who are coming out to stay with him awhile. While be does not say so, yet by reading between the lines we would judge that it was some one else's sister Keller was preparing for, and he intended to detain her for keeps. Hotter write to us again, Keller, and tell us the facts. We'll promise not to tell. Miss Myra Cook is spending the week Id Omaha as the guest of her sister, Mrs. EllaNPatrlck. Mrs. M. W. Carter has for her guests this week her sister, Mrs. W. H. Murdook and Miss Alice Ruddle of Nelson. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lethon were en tertertaing Mr. and Mrs, Raymond Roach of Berkley, California for a few days this week. Sheriff Oliver Hedge left Tuesday morning for Norfolk to secure a gentle man by the name of Hoskins who Is charged witlt wife desertion. Nelson Lcland, the young man who keeps the muchinery oiled and the tapes running the correct way and also occasionally assists in tho construction ot some of the heavy editorials in the Corn-Ad., office, spent several days with friends In the Cowles neighbor hood this week. A Newspaper That Gives The News Fifty-two Weeks Each Year For $1.50. RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA. SHL'TKMllEK 4, !. The Biggest Joke of the Year 1913 A writer in Inst Friday's Omaha lino can come nearly as u1om to lolling tho truth ut did the authors of Gulliver's, I'ravols mid Aiahiuti Xighti, or cl.su In: is too ignorant 10 bo worthy of notice. In either cast he should not be taken heiloiisly, and woie it not for tho fact. that hU utterances are u dirty slander on this pint of Nebraska tho editor of the Progress would give little heed to his falsifications. Tho very first sentence of his jumble of misrepresenta tions would be u real gem of comical ity were It to appear in l'uck of Judge, but it doesn't read well or listen bet ter In a reputable dully newspaper. Here it is: "As u result of tho drouth that has extended over southern Ne braska and Kansas this summer many farmers throughout tho afilictcd dis trict lire killing their pigs because they luck corn with which to feed and ma ture them," Now thut is quite a like ly story when there are buyers on hand to suap up all the pigs offered ut live and six cents a pound. Even at those prices the stockmen and feeders around Franklin are unable to get us many as they want. Conditions uie practically the same here as elsewhere in the South I'lulte country, and if a pig has been slaughtered in Franklin or adjoining counties it has been for the purpose of providing n good tat roast for u lamily thut is no nearer starvation than was tho pig. The joker winks oil" little more bile in this wise: "In Red Willow, Webster and sevciul other counties in that part of the state wheio there is absolutely no corn crop, pigs are positively runty and a hog that sliinis signs of develop ment is u curiosity." Here is some moie of it: "And because it is im possible to retain pigs and starve them to death farmers are killing their entire supply." That might sound i easouable to persons utterly uufuml liar with conditions, but wheu the price of pork is taken into consider ation and with corn no higher' than It is such a canard is absolutely ridicul ous. The greeny coucludes: "The railroads which are suffering from the drouth by laok of freight busluess are working on a scheme to transport hogs and pigs to farmers, gardeners and dairy men who occupy well chosen lands where they do not have to depend on rain for moisture. It is thought that muny places around Omuha occupied by truck gardeners and dairymen arc favorable to matur ity of hogs, and if such is the case it is probable thut scores of the small pigs and shouts will be transported from the drouth-stricken parts of the state to Omaha for distribution." Scores of pigsl That shows about the calibre of the modern Huron Mun chausen who is going to have the truck gardeners and dairymen around Omaha feed the hogs of the drouth stricken district of Nebraska, when all the truck gardens in Douglass county wouldn't hold ono tenth of one per cent of the lusty squeal of ourlOlft pig crop. Franklin County Progress. "Art" Robinson Given A Real Surprise Party Last Friday evening Art Robinson and wife and Ernest Davis and wife bad laid their plans to go out to Rube Schult.'s south east of town, aud spend the night and enjoy a few quiet hours of fishing in the errly part of Saturday morn. Uowever, when Art went home to supper he was more than surprised to find about sixteen of bla immediate relatives present, and it was some time before the young man could realize thut his wife had only sanctioned the said fishing trip, as a means to direct his mind in other channels, whllo she propared a sur prise purty for him, the occusslon being his 33rd birthday. Art soon rallied from the shock and a sociuble evening was spent including a real birthday supper which carries with it such delightful trimmings as ice cream, chocolate cake, etc. School Board Holds Session Hi t I'l.orn, Nunc , Sept. i, iii:.
