As reported to the World-Herald, it constitutes probably the best Red Cro89 record made In the union, when one takes in. to consideration the state's population. Excluding h few chapter reports, the total amount raised on behalf of the Red Cross in Nebraska was $1,085,001 or more thau S3 for every man, woman and child in the state. The Red Croia membership in the state on October, lust year, wai 167,.3!1 to which can be added a junior menu bershlp of 'Jr,',ri:i5 making a total of 080,000. over 0,000,000 Red Cross articles were made in the state during the war, and up to April 1 of this year. Surgi cal dressings led in this list, there be ing nearly 4,800,000 of these. The total value of the articles was M,7o0,00o Saunders county, according to the report of the central olllcers, made the best record of any county in the United States. The per capita there was sev eral times the state per capita, the total subscriptions amounting to 211,-OoO.-Tuesiy's World Herald. ramrmn O A? 1 fa lrai..:i.' it;t'ir i rnaiwura M ait I and and Canon Lump FOR MAY DELIVERY $9.50 at Car 910.50 Delivered AT YOUR BINS 'mm h Farm Bureau Notes THE KAR.MERAS A BORROWER Almost every farmer not already out 0! debt looks forward vitn great anticipation to the day when ho will be out. He thinks that traveling on Easy Street will he most enjoyable and is bending every energy in an effort to reach that thoroughfare. Hut how many find, after they havo reached the long desired circum stance, that the pleasure of anticipa tion was greater than the pleasure of realization. Some one has said that as long as the farmer is a borrower he is a builder, but when he no longer be comes a borrower his improving ceases and being satisfied with:what ho has done, his progress is at an end. There are examples by which to prove the truth of this in every neighborhood. There arc men in ev ery neighborhood who borrow a great deal of money and are head over heels in improving their place and raising more live stock, then thorc conies a time when they sell off their stock and pay off their debts and pre pare for .smaller farming. These farmers were up and moving ifntl always improving when they wei'e borrowers, but since Hotting on Easy Street they arc inclined to live on their accumulation, not caring much about creating more, and the farms they occupy suffer as a consequence, A real farmer is he who keeps on im proving his own farm and country long after the incentive for working to pay a debt has been removed, not letting the desire to "salt down some cash" prevent improving the home surroundings and ways of living. HENRY R. FAUSCH, County Agricultural Agent Piatt & Frees Mrs. Kngles entertained the Christ Ian church people, Jat a tea, at her home lu tho east part of town, last Friday afternoon. About sixty were present. Everybody enjoyed them selves. Another mark of evidence that Red Cloud is steadily advancing is the re port that on and after July first the local post olllce will be in the second class rank, it, lit present, being third class. As yet Postmaster Letson has not received olllclal not mention, but lu all probability this notice will be re ceived in the near future. A meeting of the Chamber of,' Com uierce whs held at their quarters Tues day evening but owing to a lodge meet. ingofM. W A. the attendance was small. The principal toplo brought up for discussion was the Soldiers and Sailors Home Coming Day. Delinato plans will bo outlined at tho next regn lar meeting scheduled for Tuesday evening, June 10th. It is planned to hold the home coming about July 15th. Dame Rumor hns it that the Big Chief oil well is soon to pay a dividend on its stock. Some of the out-of-town oil magnates were in the city Tuesday interviewing the local olllcers of the company. Just what the object of their visit was wc do not know. Big. ger surprises than "striking a gusher nt the oil well" have been sprung upon the unsuspecting public. Here's hop ing any how, The forty-eighth nnnual commence ment of the University of Nebraska was held Monday of this week. In the I list of candidates for degrees is found the names of two former Red Cloud High School graduates: Doctor of Dental Sutgery, Howard Yost, son ot Mr. and Mrs. John Yost of this city; Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineer ing.

A supplemental order has been issued in the rate case of the Farmers' Inde pendent Telephone company of Red Cloud eliminating an extra chargo of 25 cents for desk sets, because Its com petitor Is not doing so. The commis sion has aUo extended for thirty duys the date, set for June 1, for an inter change of service with the Lincoln company. This means the purchase o' additional switchboard by the farmers' company and it is negotiating a con solidation with its rival. Tho addi tional tlmo Is for that purpose Tues day's State Journal. A largo and enthusiastic audience assembled in front of the Orpheum Theater Friday evening to hear the tlrst free open air band concert of the season Promptly at eight o'clock Professor Miller and his talented musi cians rendered the first number on tho progrHin, which included many of the latest selections. The band is not up to the high standard that the professor hopes to attain, owing to the absence of a few necessary instruments. How over the Professor hopes to secure them In the near future, and without a doubt the next concert will be given by a complete organization. The cor net solo by M, A. Mercer was greeted by a loud applause from the audience. As a musician Mr. Mercer is gaining an enviable reputation in this vicinity. Red Cloud Auditorium fComirnferl fiom Page ) C. T.

Crowd Them Out. If we wish to overcome evil at all, we must overcome It with good; there Is no other way. Even In otirjown hearts, the easiest way to cast out wong and unkind thoughts is by so crowding them out with generous purposes nnd pleasant memories that there Is no room for them.

The heater is also easily arranged for gas burners. FarQuars are fuel-savers. THE SMOKE OUTLET is at the front, below the ash door, arid so low down that it draws off none but the lowest stratum, which contains ' only the coolest products left within the fire box. This feature is an improvement over furnaces. AUTOMATIC CONTROLL of the draft is an import ant feature of the FarQuar self regulating furnace. It is operated by the heat of the fiire-box itself. SELF-CLOSING DOORS. Fire poorly controlled is a risky thing, ri Personal controll is unreliable. Per- M sons are liable to leave the ash-door or direct-draft open, or open the draft and forget to close it. SELF-CLOSING ASH DOOR is a very important fac tor of safety. You qan feel a sense of safety with the fire the most dangerous element known held under con troll in the welded, self-closing fire-box. The "FAR QUAR" Welded Steel Self-Regulating Furnace is made in four sizes which are as follows: Size No. 4 No. 5 No. G No. 7 Length fire-box in feet 4 5 6 7 Total length .... 5 6 7 8 Aggregate cap'y pipes 600 750 900 1050 E.W.STEVENS Plumbing Heating Everything Electrical esign Facts and Figures Farmers Attention! Do you doubt the fact that you have money to your credit in the bank when your book shows you that you have a certain amount to your credit.. No! Figures convince you. For the benefit of those who doubt that the Farmers Union is prospering we offer you a few figures that will convince you that our list of patrons is ever increasing. It should also convince you that you should become a member of the Association as well as a patron. Here are our figures for one days business Saturday May 24. Cream received, 5002 pounds. Cash paid for same, MUU3.UO. Hggs received, iyu oozen. uasn paid lor same, S672.60. Or a total amount of S1675.65. Cash sales for our groceries, etc.. amounted to nearly 5000.00. This should be sufficient evidence that the Farmers are capable of conduct ing a business of their own-a business that every farmer should boost because it is to his financial interests to do so. Come in and see us we enjoy "get-acquainted" meetings. Let us have your next consignment of cream and eggs. In conclusion I wish to say that I thank you, one and "all, for your liberal patronage in the past and hope for a continu ation of these business courtesies in the future, I am, Respectfully, J. E.
