The dog muzzling ordinance is
being inforced in several neighboring -
boring towns , but isn't necessary
in Broken Bow. Our canines

business continues to increase as
it ha during that period.

James Whitehead , whd.- , returned -
turned from a visit to Kansas"rc.
rorts that the small grain crop
10 Kansas and 'southeastern Nebraska -
braska can not possibly make
more than a third of' a crop.
The green bugs , to ether with
the unfavorable season , " have
combined to grcatly injure the
wheat , oats and barley a.nd fear
is entertained in Kansas that tbe
green bug will go to the corn
fields as soon as it completes its
devasling work in the wheat
fields. Mr. Whitehead states
that he i was informed that the
condition of the wheat in Oklahoma -
homa is even worse than in Kansas -
sas as there is scarcely a field
that will be harvested.
