Island Resort at Tekamah Is Sold Tltjry Thousand Dollars Paid far 720-Acre Tract by m Holder of Mortgage. Tjftcomah, Neb., Nov. 10.—The large lsltStd In the Missouri river north of V Tekamah on which has been located the popular summer resort of Lake Qulnnebaugh and the Y. M. C. A. summer camps, has been sold at pub lic auction to satisfy mortgages. The 720-acre tract together with the farm house and buildings brought $17,500, and the 640-acre tract con taining the Y. M. C. A. camp grounds and pleasure resorts sold for $12,500. It was bid In by the first mortgage holder, Mr. Schultz of LeMars, la., the amount being approximately equal to his claim against the prop erty. The Merchants National hank of Omaha was second mortgage holder to the extent of $10,000. It Is reported that a compromise has been effected between the two mortgage holders whereby the second mortgage holders were to be satisfied also; bringing the amount to about $40,000; other outside claims amount to about $5,000. The price paid for the land is con sidered an exceptional bargain, being about $35 per acre; the land is as fertile as the valley of the Nile, hav ing been subject to overflows at vari ous times which lias at present raised it above flood waters; it abounds in timber also and should make a for tune for its new owner. A new anti-hold up carrier has been invented for conveying money by bank messengers. When attacked, the messenger presses a button near the handle, which sets of a number of concealed smoke bombs, held In the bottom of the grip. These burn 13 minutes, and not only throw out a heavy yellow smoke, but so dis color the money that it cannot be passed. ADVERTISEMENT. ADVERTISEMENT. Man 74 Years Old Is “Rejuvenated” In 3 Weeks Without Gland Operation Kansas Contractor Tells o f Wonder ful Results Obtained in Test of New Scientific Discovery. Thomas J. Glascock. 74, well known Kansas contractor, declares he has virtually been made young again by the recently-discovered korex com pound, W'htch Is pronounced superior to "gland treatments" as an invigor ator and revitalizer." "I feel like I did at 35,” says Mr. Glascock, "and seem to lie getting stronger every day. During my three weeks' use of the new discovery pains and weaknesses of many years' stand ing disappeared almost magically. Today I am as vigorous and supple as X was In the prime of life. Further more, when I began using the com pound, my memory was virtually gone and I was almost blind, r%ow my mind Is clear and active and I can read the finest print without difficulty.” In order to find out whether the results were lasting, Mr. Glascock waited six months before reporting on his test of the discovery. On this point he says: “Every passing day strengthens my conviction that my restoration Is not only complete but permanent. I can't express the happiness this great dis covery has brought to me. It has made me ‘young’ again.” Similar reports are being made al most dally. For instance, D. W. Wood oyjew Orleans, past 60 years of age, s£»: ‘ ‘The compound has brought me back to as good, healthy physical condition as I enjoyed at 35. I am apparently as supple as at 25 and my eyesight is better than {or years. I would not take J5.000 for what the discovery has done for me.” The compound is a simple home treatment In tablet form, absolutely harmless, yet rated as the quickest and most powerful lnvlgorator known. Acting directly on lower spinal nerve centers and blood yessels, it brings gratifying oeneflts In a few days, recording to thousands who have tested It. "It is wonderful,” writes a resident of Hollister, Cal. "In less than 24 •t hours' you can fell It does the work. It makes one feel young as a young man. I am more than happy and glad I tried It.” Another Californian says: "The compound is a world’s ' Thomas J. % Glascock , wonder. I feel like I was about 25, and here I am nearly fifty!” The compound has been tested In all parts of the country and has won the praises of thousands who suffered from nerve weakness, lessened or de pleted vigor, neurasthenia, premature age, impaired glandular activity and lack of animation and vital force. Its effects seem to be virtually the same on both young and old. Physicians say the principal active Ingredient of the compound gives speedy satisfac tion In obstinate cases that defy all other treatments. Elderly people pro nounce the discovery a real "fountain of youth.” Realizing that thousands of en feebled, half-alive folk may consider such news "too good to be true,” the American distributors have agreed to supply a double-strength treatment of the discovery on a guaranteed trial basis to every one In need of such a preparation. If you wish to test the compound under a money-back guar antee, write In strict confidence to the Melton Raboratorles,1473 Melton Building, Kansas City, Mo„ for a two dollar treatment of korex compound, mailed In a plain, scaled wrapper. You man enclose two dollars, or simply send your name, without money, and pay two dollars and postage on de livery, as you prefer. In either case, however, If you report within ten days that you are not satisfied, the laboratores will refund the purchase price upon request. These labors atories are nationally ,known and thoroughly reliable, so nobody need hesitate about accepting their guarar, teed offer. ADVERTISEMENT.

Dear Editor: I do not expect to be a prize winner; It takes too much Freak Mine of Platinum Brings Riches to Germany _~_ j Berlin, Nov. 10.—The little town of Gelnhausen, In the apple growing dis trict of the Wetterau near Frank furt-on-the-Maln, la riding on a wave of prosperity caused by the discovery of platinum In the vicinity; not natural deposits of this precious metal, however, but fortuitous ones found In the debris of an electric bulb factory which burned to the ground some years ago. The debris was carted away to fill brain work? As an Instance, all our brains together couln't catch on the premium title of last week, ’‘'From Bottle to Jug."—Yours truly, P. A. Francois. Mr. Francois; Your criticism speaks well for your friend’s character. Ask the next tramp who visits Greeley about the "Jug.” He can enlighten you, probably having been there. Last week we were long on titles and short on space and time, so It was necessary to cut out some of the letters we received from contestants. We print some of last" week’s and some of this week's. , Dear Mr. Conteit Editor: I do love to follow up and takS' part in a contest of picture titles or conversa tion. It creates more Interest, excite ment, and gives one a little pastime worth while. I sometimes send in titles If I think I find a fairly good one for the picture, and enjoy the different titles sent In by others. They are often puzzling, baffling fcnd most always with a double meaning. —Mrs. Vesta Franklin, Falls City. Dear Sir: Thank you kindly for the dollar awarded me some time ago. I enjoy these contests, and when I read the winners I realize how flat some of mine are. However, I shall keep on sending them In, and If I ever win the $5 I will frame the check for 65 days anyway.—Mrs. Arthur Lee, Atlantic, la. Dear Sir: 1 am sending names to you for the picture. I would like to win even a dollar because I am sav ing up money for Christmas. We have taken The Bee for three years and think there Is no paper like It. See that I get something If you please, sir. Thank you very kindly.— Thelma Moore, Omaha. Sorry, Thelma. We strive to please; but you'll have to try us again. Lots of people don't win a prize the first time but keep on trying until some times they do. You didn't win this time; but don't despair about that Christmas money yet. In new streets and railroad dams, and no one thought of attaching any Im portance to the matter until the war came and platinum prices began to •oar. Some canny soul then remembered that large quantities of platinum wire had been burled In the ruins, and thereupon the entire population sal lied forth with shovels and sieves un til the town began to resemble newly discovered ‘‘dll fields. ” Through wind and weather, snow and rain, the diggers kept at their task, reaping their richest rewards at night, when the fine wires glistened by the light of the pocket flashlights No sooner did the platinum wires come to light than they were gobbled up by the speculators until the mu nicipality decided to take a share In the profits by Issuing ‘'platinum" 11 censes, and then came the Incoma tax board, requiring from the citizen* « declaration of their discoveries, which were taxed accordingly. * During these Investigations It came to light that one man had already amassed a fortune of *,000.000 marks In odds and enda of platinum wire. Among the visitors to the spot was a professor In the high school, who met there one of iffs students, a boy so notoriously poor that he had to be placed lb the category of "charity pupils.” To his astonishment, the professor was offered a cigar costing at least 1.000 marks, but to his protests the boy answered: "Don’t hesitate to ac cept It. Professor, as I have made 80.000 marks today!” According to the last reports from the platinum field, the owner of the new factory built upon the site of the burned building was about to tear down his plant and begin a thorough investigation of the premises with a view of exploiting the treasure* of the soil.
