We desire to announce that we are not clos ing out , but are still selling the very best goods at reasonable prices. Our line of John Deere Implements , Yelie Buggies , Moline and Davenport Boiler Bearing -Wagons and Samson Windmills is complete and priced right. We also have a large stock of lumber , lime , Wall Plaster , Cement , Brick , Sash , Doors , etc. Is it not good policy to patronize a firm who expects to continue in business and intends to handle the same line of goods for years .to come. We never advertise so-called bargains because we have always had our goods priced right. A. E. Morris. W. W. Morrissey. Dr. C.

The at tendance is large. The interest is splendid. We enjoy hearing the j groups of men whose faces and hands show out door life and labor talk alfalfa , corn , fruit and live stock. No mistaking their calling xor interest in the work. Bright , 'healthy Nebraska boys , students of agriculture , mingle with them and take part in the discussions. Tuesday was devoted to horses , fruit and corn. The speakers were all Nebraska men. There is to be § 250 cash prizes for best acres of corn for 1912. We were told that not more than one far mer in one thousand knows how to harness a horse. A buyer of fered § 350 each for all the heavy draft horses we could find for him. We are raising the wrong kind he told us. The exhibit of fruit would do credit to any state.We were told that the men who would not read , study their business , or attend meetings like these are * the real problem in farm life. Wednesday was the hog men's day. The under current was co operation and organization. The agricultural interests are bigger than railroading , mining or steel interests , or bigger than any one or the so called big businesses. About 600 agricultural students are here. It will keep our legis lature thinking to keep pace with this school for Nebraska young people it is growing so rapidly. It is believed that hog cholera can be permanently prevented if prop er precautions are taken. Thursday was cattle day. The sentiment was better stock , better care , better men. Meetings were enthusiastic. It was impressed upon feeders that corn , alfalfa and ensilage make the ideal ration to fatten cattle. Younger cattle in the feed lots , was the trend. Prof. Hunt known to most of our people made a splendid address. We learned that the type of ani mal that can make the cheapest gain on a given amount of feed is to be the standard. Prince ol View Point , the best live steer in the United States , had many ad mirers in the audience. Friday was devoted to general addresses in the forenoon and meetings of the various "breed as sociations in the afternoon. All departed determined to work for better quality in their chosen lines. There were many other meetings in progress at the same time as those v e attended. Special trains will be run over all the roads in the interests of agriculture. On this train Prince of View Point , the pure blood Angus steer , now champion of the world , will be carried. We came home believ ing more than ever in the possibil ities and opportunities of Nebras ka and Nebraska people , satisfied to take up the daily routine of life as it comes to us , and convinced that we are engaged in the worlds greatest industry whose future is very bright. Dr. M. F. Meer has decided lo visit Wood Lake the first Monday and Tuesday of each month to do dental work. - 19tf NOTICE TO BIDDERS.
