is beginning to spot, although some
is quite fine. Oats looks well and
some fields are almost ready for the
reaper. A good deal Of grain is
lodged, rendering it necessary, in
many instances, to NOV it ana treat
it as hay.
Hay is principally light.
The army worm has almost
reached us in its steady answering
march westward. Several fields of
grain between here and New Liberty
have been almost or quite destroyed.
-Whooping cough has been the
prevailing complaint with the little
people for some time past.
One of our neighbors has another
baby. They had one little more
than a year ago, and one trifle over
two years ago. Three fine promising
young Hswkeyes as one need wish to
see. Now isn't that helping to popu-
late our State?
On the Goth and again on the
22d inst. heavy rain passed over
this section. And still another on
the 25th. The cereals are somewhat
injured thereby. The other products
needed rain as the earth was very
hard and dry before the rains.

FROM WEST BRANCH.

The rain Of last Saturday, and
Thursday of this week, made quite
wet weather for US for week past.
A large amount Of grain has been cut
this week notwithstanding the wet
weather.
MIR. Birmingham commences
threshing sometime next week. He
has. we believe, engaged "Will" to
help him run the machine. Farmers
will do well to "take notice"
During haying and harvesting
this town is as quiet as it well can be.
Excepting q political discussion now
and then there is nothing going on
but raising the sidewalk and that is
done quite carefully.
Grant men usually, l notice,
come out best in discussing politics.
We presume it is because they have
SO much the best side.
There certainly ought to be a
Grant and Wilson Club here, but as
yet no steps have been taken to or
ganize one. There is plenty of work
to be done and Republicans in this
vicinity, at least, do not recognize the
necessity Of working as they ought to.
Too much certainly can not be done
to keep ''our President who "never
has been beaten" and as we believe
" never will be-" in the Presidential
chair.
Our livery stable has again
changed hands and now the firm
reads Head & Miles.
The weather at present is cool
and pleasant.

Mr.. Carey requested him to suspend

Responsive TO the call, Mr.. Cloud
came forward and spoke for about IN

sumo Of his remarks, which without
any exaggsration, We think contained
more bare faced misrepresentation,
unsupported calumniation, and cheeky
substitution of assertion for argument,
than any political speech Of equal
length we ever heard.
A Mr.. Wheeler, Of Clarence, being
called for, announced himself - .

MAAsILLoN, July 9th. 1917
Sound the gewgag, shoot off the
big gun! Here's the lemonade for all
hands; and now 60 for grand hurrah
for Massillon. Now we will tell you
what all this is about. We have
actually got side track, or part of
one, so that grain can be shipped, and
lumber received here. We can also
see some improvements in the general
appearance Of our village. A large
warehouse is in process Of construc-
ton, and will soon be ready for fall
trade.
Harvesting is going on, though
somewhat protracted by the recent
heavy rains.
Corn is doing well, and promises to
be heavy crop if Jack Frost does
not visit us too early.
Our old friend and neighbor, John
Abrams, has returned from Missouri,
for the purpose Of selling his property
here. A good chance to buy small
farm.
A great deal OF sickness prevails
among the people. The youngest
child of Mr.. d. G. Myers died last
Wednesday, of spinal disease.
We are going in for q Sabbath
School picnic, strong and heavy.
With little liberality and good
natured cooperation we cannot fail to
have q good time.
We think the County Board 60
beyond the bounds Of right when
they cut down the account of town
ship officer. What is the use Of re-
quiring such accounts to be sworn to
when they are tempered with in this
way. Honest men will not stand it
and the officers of the townships will
be men who think but little of Their
truth and veracity, if they have any.

Mn. EDITOR: 1t has been some
time since you heard from this part
Of the country, and as some Of your
readers would probably like to hear
of the Homestead country, will give
it few words. We are all doing
fine, with good prospect for crops.
Our harvesting is all done, and some
few are done stacking. We have the
best small grain here ever saw any
place there are but few fields Of
whoa. that will 60 less than 20 bush
els per acre, and some that will go 80
bushels or over. Our corn looks
well, and if nothing hurts it will go
up with the corn crop Of Iowa last
year, and even our sod corn will
make 80 or 40 bushels to the acre,
which will give all our new corners q
good start for another year. Emf
grants are still coming in and settling
upon homestead lands. The breaking
season is over with the early settlers,
but still going on lively with late
arrivals. We were visited with q
very heavy steady rain last night
and night before, which raised our
streams higher than ever was wit
messed by our oldest inhabitants.
House building was going on lively,
but as we get our brick from low
ground, we will have to turn our at
tention to something else until our
brick yards dry off again. As some
may not know what Nebraska brick
are ] will just state how they are
made. We first take q scythe and

brought to this office call for Lib.
cral Republican" Convention to be
held at Upton 27th ult., and requested
it's publication in the ADVERTISER,
Offering to psy for the same. OF
course we refused the pay and prom.
Used the publication. The notice was
set In the same type and in the same
manner as like notices of Republican
conventions are and have been, and
placed-not at the head Of the edito-
rial columns, which would have been
contrary 20 the custom Of any party
paper with opposition notices, but d.
rectly after the reading matter. at the
top Of the first advertising column,
at the same time calling attention to it
in the local. This we thought all that
was fair and courteous, and NO would
any one who was fair minded and
knew anything Of newspapOrial sys-
tenn Of arrangement. Indeed, many
party papers now set notices OF their
own conventions in precisely the same
style and place which the one Ia ques-
ton occupied In the ADVERTISER.

him arise in the Democratic Conven-
ton, and taking advantage OF atten-
tive tenderness usually bestowed upon
nascent copverts, complain querulous-
~ Of the rough treatment" he had
received at the hands Of the ADvER-
TIsER, In that his notice was set up In
ANAL type, unleaded aud placed In an
obscure part Of the paper. He further
stated that he was very sorry, for our
sake not his own, that he must here
after hold us in contempt.
Having explained above that there
was no intention whatever to hide the
notice or be discourteous to Its signers
we have also taken much pains to get
the doctors name In large type, upon
which latter do we especially depend
to replace ourselves In his good grsces.
Unhappily failing in this, we still
have great cause Of graduation In the
assurance OF the Doctors sympathy,

sufficiently what we have lost by his
detection to give US adequate condo

pendent Of the 10Th ult., we clip the
following concerning Mr.. John v.
Jefiries, nephew Of Mr.. VIM. Wig
gins OF this place and gentleman
who has many acquaintance and
friends in this county:
1T has seldom, IL ever, been q more
unpleasant task to Us, to record the
uniimely death Of personal friend
and valuable citizen. Mr.. Jeffries
went into his barn last Wednesday
afternoon to carry water to some
stock. On entering stall occupied
by one Of his work horses, with two
tin pals on his arm, the horse took
fright at the pals and perhaps kicked
Mr.. Jeffries, who was found, by men
near by, laying in the stall badly In
jured from the tramping Of the horse
and by kicks. He was carried to the
house, in O state Of insensibility, and
died In few hours from his injuries.
Mr.. Jeffries was most successful
farmer, unusually kind TO his family,
benevolent to the poor, strong tenn
perance man, an earnest worker tor
the good Of society, and bis loss will
be mourned by all good citizens who
knew him. He vii! be buried to.dsy

agreement that so long as the present

he would pay yearly for his paper !;
and whenever the Democratic party
should gain the ascendency he should
have 1t for nothing for whatever time
such a state of things might last.
Now the question is, should the pres
ent Dolly Warden Combination Demo-

coed in electing Horace Greeley would
our friend claim free paper under the
agreement? We are free to say that
we shall consider 1t his due, but know
