Att'y McNeny Appointed
Government Agent
In necorduueo with tho request of
tho war department Governor Neville,
on Weduesday, announced tho appoint
ment of special agents iu eacli county
in Nebraska who will represent the
the government in presenting to the
county exemption boards nnd tho state
appeal boards such information as may
tend to show fraudulent claims for ex
emption, it is thought that this would,
to a great extent prevent men who
havo been drawn for military service
f i om establishing false claims, thus
requiring other men to bo drawn in
their places.
In going over the list of men ap
pointed wo find that Attorney Bernard
McNeny will presido in Wobstcr Coun
ty. With this elllcleut gentloman at
tho helm we are confident that Uncle
Sam's business will receive the best of
attention and that It will bo '"Woe On
to Thee Slacker" for any one who pre
sents false statements to the exempt
ion board.

attend will bo held iu October. A
month's teaching brings up many
questions to a teacher. The purpose
of the October session is to answer
these questions and to give the plans
for the years work.

Smoke House Changes Hands
Another ouo of Alma's citizens has

fore, last week made a deal whereby
he becomes tho ownor of tho Pool and
billiard parlor conducted by Powell
Bros. Immediate possession was given
and Mr. Mason at once took up the
duties of becoming acquainted with his
customers. Judging from the personal
appearance of the new proprietor and
the manner in which ho transacts his
business wo are confident that ho will
continue to conduct au orderly place
of amusement as did the former pro
prietors. Charles Powell has been absent from
our city for somo tlmo mid Oliver in
forms us that ho has no definite plans
for tho future, but wo trust that mut

Farmers Creamery at
Riverton Prospering
The creamery at Riverton has been
operated by tho Farmers Union since
Juno 20th 1917 doing 83,833,00 worth of
business the Hist four weeks. It is
operated for tho farmers and by tho
farmers. It has already helped tho
farmer whether he owned a sharo or
not.
A few of the Centralied stations
have been paying above creamery
pt ices in order to get back their cus
tomers, but have failed. The produc
er has awakened, is now running his
own business and is loyal to It.
Just a work to those who havo not
becomo share holders In this company:
Do you realise that the ocntrallzors
are In tho creamery business for their
own profits nnd not for yours? That
when they offer you a higher price than
tho Union Creamery oau pay they are
only doing it to meet competition, nnd
the farmers that arc so unfortunate as
not to bo near n Union station must
still tako the old prico, which is some
times six or eight cents below market
price?
The Union creamery regulates its
price according to daily market quota
tions from the Elgin butter markctaud
does not raiso its price to meet com
petition. We nrc running our own
business and no one else sets the price
for us. But you may teel sure that we
pay highest market prico, also that we
have only one price to all patrons.
Anyone- wishing to patrouizo this is
welcome to do so, but net profits aro
prorated among sharo holders only.
Tho earnings arc dividod as follows:
First an interest of S por cout is paid
on the par valuo of paid up capltul,
then u bulllcicut sum is sot aside uh n
sinking fund. Tho remainder of the
profits aro prorated among sharehold
ers in proportion to tho amount of
business they have done. This gives
the man that does the work all there
is iu it and t hats the way it ought to
be.
Any member in good standing with
the Farmers Union may becomo ti
sharo holder. Shares arc belling at
ten dollars each.
Get in the game and help the busi
ness that helps you.
Our Motto: "Greatest Good to the
Greatest Number".
