BECAUSE we put the utmost quality into this
one brand. 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.

lUchvrd's little boat went drifting
down strenm ; tho water lay llku a sil
very lane with budding trees on either
elde. 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. Wo will fish
and row, you and i, and when thoso

RED CROSS A FEATURE
AT THE .STATE FAIR
A novel feature of the Red Cross
program for the Nebraska Stato Fair
to be held at Lincoln from September
4 to 9 will be the presence of Ro Co,
the Health Clown. 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.

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
