Tor the bills.
Nick Franzen has been hauling out
lumber to build him house.
A party from Merino drove through
Raymer Friday in search Of horse.
Lemuel Hoffman has been building
chimney for Louis Allen the past week
Mrs. Ethel Miller was Thursday
guest of her grandmother Mrs. Rohr-
borgh.
S. P. Majors returned last Saturday
from two weeks stay at Sterling
working in the hay fields.
j. H. Beson and wife and Mr.. and
Mrs. White were guests last week
Sunday of the Graves family.
Mr.. W. Bass, who was called here
on account of his sons sickness re-
turned to McCook, Neb, Friday after
a few days visit at home.
People wonder why it is that the
mail order houses do such a big busi-
ness. There is no secret about it,
they advertise and do So literally.
The Keota News tells of a pleasant
surprise party given Miss Mae Bake
at the close of her term of school in
that district last week on Tuesday.
Mrs. Fred Knapp is so far improved
as to be able to ride out last Thurs
day. when she and her mother, Mrs.
Cutler spent the day with Mr.. and
Mrs. Rohrborgh.
z. D. Murphy and j. A. Crook start
ed for Sterling in The auto Tuesday af-
ternoon, but the machine went back on
them few miles the other side of
Stoneham and cut their joy ride short.
We do not feel that the way Ray
mer was able to feed the Keota people
last Saturday was particularly good ad-
vertising for the town. Less liquids
and more solids would improve our
eating house.
Crop prospects could not be better
than they are. With the rains COM
ing the way they have there is only
one thing to fear and that is hail. But
you can get insurance against bail.

c. H. Beans lett on the noon train
Tuesday for Cozad, Nebraska, called
there by the serious illness of his ia
ther. He expects to be back in time
for services Sunday, unless the condi.
ton of his father if too serious to JUS
tify leaving him.
The ball game Saturday resulted the
same as usual. The local team played
very well at times, then took vaca-
tion at times. and went into the air.
Davis pitched for .Keota and Hoyt for
the locals. Both are good pitchers,
but the former had more steady sup.
port, and one thing about him he does
not waste any energy talking or show
ing his temper, characteristic, which
the local man would do well to initiate.
c. w. Roth furnishes us the follow
ing account Of business which he has
done in the cream business the past
month. At Stoneham he has taken in
6S cans testing 1871 pounds of butter
fat, paying for. the same $39l. l.S5: at
Raymer he has taken in 40 cans. test
ed 944 sounds Of butter fat and paid
$2l9.54, making total Of s6lO.89 paid
out in June at the two stations. The
COW will take care of this country, if
we will only take good care Of the COW.
The Carlson sale last Friday was
well attended. Col. o. P. Bake,
handled the crowd nicely and while the
stuff consisted of good deal of junk.
and some articles sold very low, we
think that it brought as much as could
be expected under all of the circum.
stances. The sale amounted to $5l4.
and of that amount 1857. .0O was for the
three horses sold, so it can readily be
seen that the other items were mostly
small ones, the majority being for less
than dollar.
