CHEAP ADVICE!
$..
'twv
Advice Is one of the cheapest things In the world. It's as free as
the air. No matter what vour troubles may be, just let It be
known and advice will come piling In.
The old maid knows how to rear children, the bachelor knows
just how a wife should be handled, and even a bald-headed druiJ
gist can sell hair tonic and get away with it but the advice you
seek, not the kind that Is volunteered, Is the kind you want We
are not a volunteer in the advice business, but II you are a patron
of ourbank and ask advice on llnanclal matters we will be glad
to help you In any way we can.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
(By Superintendent)
So many teachers are sending for
lists of schools that arc not taken
yet that every teacher 'that gets a
school should send in word to that
effect so that the lists that arc sent
out will he authentic. The directors
huvc cards to report this on. A
good many have been sent in.
Under the new law, the pupil that
graduates from the eighth grade is
not required to go to school unless
i there is a high school in his district.
I This frees mo from compelling stu
, dents under 10 to go to the eighth
; grade for two yearn- in case they arc
not sent to town.
i The Stnte Superintendent says, "I
. wish you would urge upon your peo
ple, if you have not already done so,
the necessity of sccilving the certifi
cate they will require before school
. begins. It is our purpose not to is
sue any emergency certificates if it
I can possibly be avoided.
Most of the Summer Schools have
'.' started but the University of Nc-
braska is running two terms this
J 12 and closes August 19.
As soon as all the teachers ' arc
hired in Webster county, I shall bo
glad to help any that are left to a
position in any other county If you
will register your names and creden
tials. I don't want to do this until
Webster county has had the pick of
what there is on hand.
The school that have teachers hired
that I know about are:

Mr. Edison spent 3 million dollars in developing a phonograph
of such absolute realism that its Re-Creation of music cannot be
distinguished from the original music.
Mr. Edison wants a phrase of not more than 4 or 5 words that
will differentiate this instrument from all other sound-reproducing
devices and emphasize the fact that it is an instrumentality
by which the true beauties and full benefits of music can be
brought into every home. If you are not a New Edison owner,
we will gladly loan you a New Edison oh
Three Days Free Trial
Then you can learn for yourself just what distinguishes the New Edison
irom phonographs and talking machines. 1 hen you can test the famous
juc-ut.c icuusui, ami experience wnai music will ao tor vou.
Mail or brine the coupon to our store, and vc will deliver a New Edison to
your home, without expense or obligation to you. Also ask us for folder

STATE FARM BUREAU NOTES
At the June meeting of the execu
tive committee of the Nebraska Faim
Bureau Federation, H. D. Lute, sec
retary was advised to continue his
investigation in the matter of sending
out market reports and weather fore
casts by wireless telephone. Mr. Ltuc
hopes to have something definite to
report at the next meeting.
The executive committee ofthe
American Farm Uureau Federation
will meet at the general office at
58 Washington Street, Chicago, 111.,
on Juno 21st. The dale and place on
the holding of the next annual con
vention will be determined at that
meeting. Department heads will re
view the work of the department and
present plans for future development.
The Farm Bureau membership
enmpaign in Nebraska will be suspend
ed during the summer monthe, upon
the recommendation of the organ
ization department. This action is due
to the busy farming season and ateo
to give full right-of-way to the or
ganization work of the U. S. Grain
Growers, Inc. This farm bureau mem
bership campaign will bo resumed
early in the fall, not only in coun
ties not yet organized, but in increas
ing the membership in counties or
ganized during the past year.
, At the coal buying conference held
jn the general offices of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation at
Chicago on Juno 13th, a committee
was appointed to assist James E.
Black, the American Farm Bureiu
Economist in working out a coopera
tive coal buying plan. The committee
is composed of O. J. Stierwalt 6f
Ohio; F. W. Boyle of Indiana; J. R.
Bent of Illinois; and J. B. Mc
Laughlin of West Virginia. The plan
is to bo presented at the next
meeting of the Presidents and Secre
taries of the Midwest State Farm
Bureau Federations.
Samuel W. Tator, who was employ
ed by the committee of seventeen
as economist to assist in working
out the grain marketing plan has
been appointed director of the depart
ment of economic Research work of
the American Farm Bureau Federa
tion, with headquarters at Chicago.
Mr. Tator is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, and has ser
ved on the faculty of that institu
tion. He is an expert accountant and
has a wealth of experience in the
work of economic research, partic
ularly as applied to farm commodities.
Governor S. R. McKelvie, has writ
ton Nebraska Congressmen and Sena:
tors prostesting against passage of
the Townsond Highway bill. The gov
ornor advises that ho is joined in tno
prostest by Geo. Johnson, secretary of
the department of public works; of
ficers of tho Nebraska Good road
Association and the D. L. D. Road As
sociation and the Nebraska Farm
Bureau Federation. "Of secondary im
portance, but not to be ignored is- the
proposal to create tho Federal Hign
way commission consisting of throe
"members who t-hall receive $10,000
per year." Tho governor says and
adds: "this is a policy of administra
tion that has been greatly discredited
and I think it would be a very groat
mistake to create another such board
of commission for handling this
work," which, ho says, is now being
capably administered through tho le
partment of Agriculture. The gover
nor also fears that tho appropriation
of $100,000,000 for building interstate
roads may mean discontinuance of
tho federal aid for tho general con
struction of state roads and undor
which a system of 5,000 miles of farm
to market dirt roads lias been laid
cut in Nebraska and partly complet
ed, serving 75 per cent of tho people.
