We notice as we pass the farm
of Mr. Bowden that everything is
neat and well kept. AVe notice a
nice young orchard which in a few
years will well repay him for the
time spent caring for it. A fine
row of hedge along the north of
his house will , in a few years ,
make an excellent wind break for
the young tress. If more of our
neighbors would follow his exam
ple the country would be greatly
improved.

master of everything he under

with anyone to please them but
would not trade two new ones for
an old one ; a man who is honorable
in all his dealings , kind and agree
able , and , most adn best , the next
sheriff of Cherry county.

TEMPERATURE.
The
Food Value
of a Soda Cracker
You have heard that some foods furnish fat ,
other foods make muscle , and still others are
tissue building and heat forming.
You know that most foods have one or more
of these elements , but do you know that no
food contains them all in such properly balanced
proportions as a good soda cracker ?
The United States Government report shows
that soda crackers contain less water , are richer
in the muscle and fat elements , and have a much
higher per cent of the tissue building and heat
forming properties than any article of food made
from flour.
That is why Uneeda Biscuit should
form an important part of every meal. They
represent the superlative of the soda cracker , all
their goodness and nourishment being brought
from the oven to you in a package that is proof
against air , moisture and dust the price being
too small to mention.
