Camels are as good as it's pos sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of fine tobaccos to make a cigarette. Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the best cigarette it's possible to buy. Nothing is done simply for show. Take the Camel package for instance. It's the most perfect packing science can devise to pro tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper secure foil wrapping revenue stamp to seal the fold and make the package air-tight. But there's nothing flashy about it. You'll find no extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows. Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And remember you must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality. If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest cigarette you can imagineand one entirely free from cigaretty aftertaste, It's Camels for you. amel 9 M Franklin-County Highland Imp. Co..

Richard had nover traveled the silvery lane early In tho springtime. Thu cottage nestling farther on its bunks. would be burred and forbidding, but of'thls Richard was glad. He had no desire, In his present mood of dis appointment and disillusion, for human companluushlp. Rather, like a grieved hermit tho man felt, In his wish for solitude and meditation. The twin cottages faced him as he rounded the bend. "Mother," that word around which centered all boyish hope aud admira tion. It was for wike of mother, early widowed, that Richard intended to bo all those wonderful things which sho had dreamed for him; for her, that lie studied und tolled and reached at last his measure of success. And now that mother was made comfort able through his efforts, ho planned eagerly to reach out for even big ger things that she might be more proud, and glad. And mother had failed him. Never, In nil the stories that ho read, "had such an unheard of thing happened. Usually, it was tho un grateful son who eloped with a mulden of his choice, forsaking filial devotion. For a mother, his own comforting mother, to have deserted her son's faithful protection for that of a strange wife-hunting man this was the Inexplicable stunning fact which brought his disappointment. She had written him from their apartment In tho city of this new un believable step she had taken, while Richard was In New York on business. Hastily returning, he found his mother still away upon her wedding Journey, and dazed and troubled, he had mnde his wny out to the lake shore cottage, where he and his moth er had spent so many happy hours to gether. There were no roses In evidence now, but lilac bushes sent their fra grancencross his tired face, and In BDlte of his sadness tho spring sweet ness revived in same way his sinking spirit lie would be quite alone on the beach, he reflected, turning the key In tho lock, but Richard was mis taken. Immediately .from an upper window of the twin house next door, came a shower of dust' sent from n igwnylng mop, while a girl grasping the mop handle stared down at him bel ligerently. Sho was far too pretty a girl to frown, and In all reason, It seemed that 'Richard's should be the Indignation., rib flicked the dust from his uncovered head .n as snq Bhot-u defiant question. . .j 'ic "What," asked "tills angry, unusual young person, "are you doing here? .If. you, have been sent out In order to ,persuada,'m'e to go back, -you can tell them both." It's" of no use. I intend hereafter to' live by myself. I came out to the "cottage merely to gain time an!:" Richard was alarmed to see the girl suddenly burst Into tears, "be cause there was no. plnce else for me to go," sho ended miserably. With out reply he hastily entered the silent cottage and made his way up the stairs. From the window of his homo he would bo better nble to face the girl In the twin house. When he was close enough to reach over nnd touch her hand sho raised a tenr-stalned face. "It was at that very window," she accused, "thnt your mother began her match-making siege on Dad. Dad never intended to marry again, I know he didn't. That Is why he had 1110 study domestic science so I could go on keeping house for him. And Just when I wns doing beautifully, and we were so happyoh!" tho blue eyes flushed hatefully "I hate your moth er," finished the girl. Richard drew a long breath, the sit uation grew more confusing. "Will you tell me," ho asked quietly, "Just who you are and how you happen to speak of the Gray's cottago as your own? Old Mr, nnd Mrs. Gray havo occupied tho place nest door, from the year It wns built." "Mrs. Gray," tho girl explained, "Is my aunt. Father and I spon't the remainder of Inst summer with her here, after you had gone to New York. Oh, we heard enough nbout you at tho time from your mother, and I did think Hhe was tho sweetest thing, un til sho and Dad got to strolling off to gether," tho girl ended abruptly. "Did Dad como back to our apart ment and find me missing, and send you out nfter me?" sho demanded. Richard looked down to the lilac scented porch below. "We could, talk things over better down there," he suggested. It wns at sundown, that Richard's little boat went slowly on up stream. And now, behold, the silvery lano wns changed to gold, and a pretty girl snt at tho helm. ' "I think," said U10 girl sweetly, ftlbat your plan Is tho nicest plan I over head, and I am suro Auntlo Gray taay bo coaxed out to the cottago to spend a spring month.

While he will make his headquarters in the Red Cross booth he will also mingle with tho crowds of visitors, affording them much entertainment and amuse ment as well as imparting valuable instruction in health and nutrition. The work of a henlth clown is uni que. Combining instruction with en tertainment ho delights and amuses children as well as adults in addition to imparting invaluable lessons in right living. Wherever he hns ap peared in past seasons there has been a unanimous demand for a return en gagement. Ro Co in real life is Capt. Carl R. Myers, who served over seas during the war. In addition to this feature, exten sive plans have been made to provide interesting programs, showing tho many phases of Red Cross work in tho different communities in Nebr aska. In line with tho policy assist ing ex-service men to receive what is due them in a financial way, as well as in training for future voca tions, c booth will be open during the entire fair with an experienced worker in charge to meet and advise war vet erans in need of help. Attractive exhibits have been pre pared by Central Division illustrating tho various projects of tho present program of tho Red Cross. A large map of the state of Nebraska will set forth these many activities and give a comprehensive idea of the volume of service being rendered by the 107 Red Cross chapters in this state. Farm Bureau Notes HOG SALES It is getting time to begin planning for our consignment Hog Sales. The way was paved for these sales last year, and while the consignors did not receive fancy prices for their hogs, 'the purchaser was ableto buy his herd boar at' his price. - Thb' 'consignment sale3' should be encouraged and they should' have the support of the farmers in the county. "'"These sales offer an opportunity for- the "Small and- beginner, breeder, a place and means of disposing of his" few; 'choice male pigs. 'Also .the older breeders can boost by consign ing; somo of -their pigs-; From the 'farmer standpoint the consignment sales should be the place to buy a boar to head his herd. These pigs are bought in by tho various breeders and placed side by side. The farmer can compare them and buy his choice without scouting around over the country. DUROC JERSEY MEETING Breeders of Duroc Jersey hogs are requested to meet at the Farm Bur eau Office Friday night, August 19 at 8 p. m. for the purpose of perfect ing a breeders organization and mak ing plans for a fall sale.
