LOewen Brothers Simplify
Harvesting in Meade Co.


Germans came to Meade county,
purchasing the greater part of
what was the old Webb ranch.
Among this number came the
Loewen Bros, Peter, the eldest
and his twin brothers., Henry
and Jacob. They soon invested
in threshing outfit, and being
natural mechanics, their ven-
lures proved success. Soon
thereafter they purchased sec
ond outfit, the one being man
aged by Peter and the other by
the twin brothers, Henry and
Jacob. During the threshing
season the two outfits were
busy and very successful in
turning out the golden grain,
wheat, barley, and oats. This
being completed, they took their
large steam outfit and harness
ed to it a gang of plows, har-
rows, and drills and put in large
fields of wheat; completing this
task, they again hltched onto the
separator, but this time thresh-
ed kafr and maize, and in addi-
tion to their own work did a
large amount of custom work for
their nelghbors.
On their ranch, which includes
the former r. w. Campbell
place, they have model ma
chine shop where all repair
work is done by them.
To tell what these boys have
accomplished each year would
take more space than a country
paper can spare, however the
success accomplished would
read like a fairy tale and yet it
is true. For an example: last
fall, 1914, after a successful run
for more than two months the
boys put out SIX hunered <icres
OF wheat, which in 1915 proves
to bea splendid crop. AS to
their mode of planting: behind
their gas power, 5000 Huber
engine, they put heavy discs,
following same with heavy disc
drills. In one instance they put
in one hundred sixty acres of
wheat in three and one-half days
and same is now yielding near
twenty-five bushels per acre.
Early in the present sum mer
the boys went to California, and
there combined business with
pleasure, first taking in the two
expositions, and later stopping
at Stockton where they visited
the Holt Manufacturing Co. plant
and concluded to purchase a |
California Special Harvester,
manufactured by that company.
This machine is com blned har.
vester and thresher, on the one
side of which is to be seen the
growing wheat, and on The other
the grain pouring into a wagon
ready for market. The boys
were present while the machine
was being made and had the
company to substitute spout,
which conveys the grain directly |
to the wagon, IN the place Of the
sacking platform, which is on
the machines used in California.
When completed this combina
tion machine was shipped to
Meade and when the wheat was
ready to cut they hitched up a
30.60 Huber gas engine and COM
menced their harvest. Under
ordinary conditions they cut and
thresh forty acres per day, do
ing excellent work. The straw
is scattered over the field, there
to act as fertilizer, the grain is
ready for the market, and the
field is left ready for the plow.
In one instance $50 bushels of
grain were thus made ready for
the elevator in one half day. An
other favorable feature of this
combination is that il eliminates

GREAT IS THE cow

Whist would happen If ell COWS went
on strike and refused to give milk
for a month"; There is no source Of
food supply that holds more import
ant place than the diary COW. When
the beef famine. because Of high prices,
struck terror to the hungry multitudes,
they readily adjusted themselves to
getting along without meat. When
eggs get beyond a certain price, the
consumer quits buying We get along
six months without oysters. We can
get used to living without potatoes for
a time. But should the dairy COW quit
business, what would we do? we could
drink water instead of milk, but what
would we do for cream in coffee, on
the berries, the breakfast food, etc.
What would we do for butter on our
bread3 Use oleoY No, for cleo con
tains some butter.
A much as shs Is abused, as much as
she Ia ridiculed By some, Is much as
she ia diagrsced by ignorant treatment,
the COW is the queen of the farm.

OUR NATIONAL CURSE
very nation has its curse.

Every nation has Its curse.
Ours is the overw orked credit system
IS spilled to the ordinary expenditures
Of life, and especially to the table.
If every business and professional
man in this place were asked whether
he would rather cell for cash at con-
siderable discount in price, or continue
the credit system, we believe that the
vote would be unanimous in favor of
cash and reduced profits.
The credit system is a nuisance. 1t
is a national curse-a community curse If
you please.
Wherever the credit system prevails
there you will find the usual number Of
slow-pays and genuine deadbeat
The merchant pays for his goods and
in turn some one must pay him. He
cannot live on wind, hope or expections.
It is case Of "no cash, no live"
Every merchant who extends credit
gets taken in by the desdbeats. He
loses not only his profits, but the cost
of his goods as we'll.
And what then does he dor Just
what you or any other sensible person
would do-raises the price sufficiently
on his wares to protect him from such
losses And the man who pays his own
bills also pays the bills of the deadbeat
If person can pay at the end of
every thirty days it would require very
little retrenchment and sacrifice to en-
able him to reach the point where he
can pay as be goes.
When the merchant carries your ac-
count he virtually lends you his money
and this should not be The bank is
the proper place for such transactions.
By paying cash for his goods the
dealer can get substantial discount
from his wholesaler, and this discount,
coupled with the saving of the annual
deadbeat losses, would make a material
reduction in the cost of supplies. But
he can hardly stand the strain of cash
transactions himself while he is extend
ing from thirty to ninety days credit to
every Tom, Dick and Harry, and all OF
the little Harrys.
Prices are high in this community, but
conditions are no worse here than they
are la ether sections of the country

BELIEVES WILSON IS WRONG
Bryan Tells President He Can Con.
vince Him Of Error-WiII
Serve Country.

Washington, June 10.-'I believe you
are wrong and that I can convince
you of it." Mr.. Bryan is quoted as
having said, with a smile in his fare
well interview with the President He
told Mr.. Wilson he believed he could
be of service in the country by secur-
ing an expression Of the peaceful de-
sires of the nation and help to prevent
war.
Later, when Mr.. Bryan's statement
appeared, comment in high official
quarters still was friendly toward Mr..
Bryan personally, but sharp issue was
taken with his Interpretation of what
the note to Germany actually con-
tanned. It was declared by some Of
those officials familiar with the con-
tents of the document that it would
not necessarily lead to war and that
such contingency could arise only il
there was repetition of attacks on
American lives and vessels.
1t was indicated that failure to Sc
cure reparation for the Lusitania might
mean the severance of diplomatic re-
lations, but that hostilities would be
precipitated only by war-like acts On
the part Of Germany.
