PROMINENT CONCORDIAN
SAYS ABILENE A FINE TOWN

Judge F. w. Sturges of Concordia,
one of the leading attorneys of the
state, was in the city between trains
and had an opportunity to drive
over Abilene's IL miles Of pavement.
"of course" said he, I'VE think
Concordia has the world beaten,
but Abilene is a mighty beautiful
city. Its Improvement is wonderful
and the streets are pictures OF great
attractiveness. Your new homes and
public buildings tell Of great pros
perity." Like all visitors he was
impressed with the view Of the
Smoky Hill valley from the heights
northeast OF town. ut has not only
physical beauty" said the judge,
who is something Of a philosopher
as we'll as a lover Of the beautiful,
"but II has wealth back Of 1t. Riches
are abundant in that valley and 1t
is NO wonder that with such sur
country Abilene is a pros
porous and happy CITY,"

SMOKY IS failing
REPORTS FROM UP THE RIVER
ENCOURAGING
River Reached Highest Point To-
day-Day's Rise Inch
Stationary This Afternoon
From Saturdays Dailv.I

The Smoky Hill reached its high
est stage here this afternoon at l
o'clock, when the guage at Sand
Springs recorded 20 feet. 1 inch
above normal. The river rose only
about an inch since early this morn
ing and was practically stationary
this afternoon.
Reports received by the tele-
phone office this afternoon were
that the Smoky is falling at salina
and slowly at Solomon. No heavy
rains in this. section Of the state
yesterday or last night were report
ed today. Every indication is that
the Smoky will begin to fall Sun
day.
Heavy rains at Lindsborg and
Bridgeport night before last prob
ably will bring the river up again
at Salina.
Mornings Reports Encouraging
Although the river rose about
three and one-half inches during the
night, encouraging reports received
this morning counterbalanced the
rise, which is not enough to send
the Smoky out Of its channel. At
Solomon a rise Of five inches dur
ing the night was reported, but at
Niles and Bennington, up the val
ley, the Solomon river fell 8 inches.
From these indications the river
will rise a few inches here until
some time Sunday, when the water
is likely to recede unless there
should be heavy rains.
For several days past farmers
along the line of the Smoky near
Abilene have been diking. At the
]. B. Case and Whitehair farms
southeast Of Abilene dikers have
been busy aand have kept ahead OF
the river so far. At the Karl Glatt
farm south Of river and near San
Springs, Mr.. Glatt has high dixie
built along the bank of the old
river channel and while the water
las been seeping through, any big
amount of water has been held back
from Mr.. Glatt's 80 acres of corn,
which would be flooded within a
short time should the dixie give way
or the river rise above 1t. Consider
able damage has been done al
ready, particularly to the bottom
farms near Solomon and north Ut
there.

neafness CANNOT he Cured

.E Se~AsAAOS
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tiotial remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflaIned you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing Will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol

PROSPERITY IS DUE
IN THIS STATE

Grand Forks, Jan. 7.-There
are, not lacking sure indications
of the era of prosperity which
will be hailed with delight by
all ef us. The National Out
look is brigL ling and the, out
lcok in the Northwest is in every
way hopeful.
Aeartsned by months Of close
study Of the business outlook,
for the nation, Secretary of
Commerce Redfie.d wrote from
Washing gton New Year greet
ing to merchants and manufac-
ture1s CT the country, bidding
them reach out for prosperity
he sees within their grasp.
There is no warrant, he de-
clares for gloom and despair. Th
i'll effects o. the European war
on American enterprise are. pas
sing, and new vistas- for CONNER
cial ventures are opening
with each day. The secretary
supports his optimistic state :
ments with facts and figures.
Carefully compiled statistics
show that retail business in SO
far as sales are concerned, in
creased about five percent for
November 1914, over the same
month Of 1913. The state over,
retail collections are about on a
par with-a year ago. These are
facts compiled from statistics
and not estimates.
1t is true that this state MAX
es q much better showing than
other sections farther south and
east or than the extreme west,
but for this reason we should be
more courageous than our less
fortunate sister states and should
lead in the upward movement.
Signs are. not lacking that much
better times are coming rapidly.
