Last week we made mention of
J. w. Elshire renting the Ross
dwelling, which was an error. 1t
should have been that they rented
the Miss Alice Greill dwelling.
John Homer, J. A. Wagner
and Geo. Trunec made a trip to
Trip county last week returning
Monday in Honher's car. They
report that crops are in good
shape in that county.
The seven-year old son of
Adolph Rehurek who some time
ago was run over by an automo-
bile and badly hurt on the head is
recovering nicely, altho he will
carry an ugly scar all his life.
John F. Wagner rented his
farm to John Bystrycky and will
move on his farm in Montana
with his family. John is we'll inn
pressed with that state judging
from his action.
Frank Dostal and his family
moved to Blaha Tuesday where
Mr.. Dostal will have charge of the
Farmers elevator. During their
stay here they have made many
| friends. We wish them success
lin their new home.
George Jehlik and his wife and
little daughter of Cuba, Kansas,
spent jew days here this week
visiting relatives. They made the
trip in a Ford and from here they
went to North Dakota. They are
relati, e. of the Trunec family.

Anton Velek returned from his
visit with relatives in Nebraska,
last Saturday. He says the corn
crop in the portion which he visi
ted is not promising. Everything
is dried out. Small grain was
good.
A crew of nine men arrived
here Wednesday and proceeded to
tear down the McCaull Webster
elevator. The lumb Der will be
moved to ]anousek and will be
used to construct an elevator
there. This will give Tabor three
elevators.
1t is unofficially rerorted that
the Ford Company has lowered
the price on their machine from
$40 to $3.50. The factory, it is
said, will deal directly with the 10
cal dealer and eliminate the distri'
butor who probably pocketed the
difference between the former
price and the one proposed.
A picnic will be given by the
Catholic Sokol lodge Sunday, Au'

mile south of town. Music by the
Tabor Band. Several member:

no doubt is due to the fact that
officers of such districts are busy
in the field and will attend to the
matter as soon as they can. 1t
may not be out of place to cite
few excerpts from the law relat-
ing to schools The old law under
which it was sufficient to post the
annual statement in the district
has been repealed in 1915, and the
new law provides for the publish
ing of an annual statement in the
nearest newspaper. Failure to
have the statement published is
punishable by a fine of from $40
to $50. The statement should he
dated July 20, 1916, and should
appear not later than July 20, in
the newspaper. We hope that
school officers will attend to the
matter at once if possible.
Attention is called to the fact
that at the celebration to be held
here August Is and 16 preference
and first chance to put up stands
where soft drinks, quick lunch
and the like, besides various legiti
mate games, such as hitting rag
dolls with ball, etc, will be given
to home people. The committee
has purposely held outsiders out
until it hears from home people.
If you do not get busy right now
and let the committee know your
desires someone else will fill the
place you may want and pocket
the coin, and you can blame no
one but yourself.
Mrs. Frank Nosek of Phillips,
Wis, and her little son arrived
here last Friday to join their hus-
band who had been working for
Jos. Kocer lately, but failed to
find him. 1t appears thst he had
written to her to come that he is
i'll, but in the meantime he re-
covered and wrote her not to
come. However, she came, but it
seems that he disappeared, altho
she had mad inquiries about him.
1t is possible that he is working
in the country and does not come
to town these busy days thinking
that his wife is at the old home.
The Haney crew is putting the
highway running east Of town for
several miles in first class shape.
Some pretty good culverts of con-
crete are laid in several points
which needed them badly. For
merely small galvanized culverts
were placed in these places, but
did not fill the bill and in the end
were more costly than the substan
tial ones put in now. Mr.. Haney
is an old road man and thoroly un
derstands his business.

"Still more disastrous is the craV-
ing when It develops in those already
afflicted with some form Of neurotic
arrangement. Danville and sollier
have published two instances OF this
kind, in which the presence Of a neu-
rotic element was easily made out.
In the first the impulse to play was
comparable with an historical at
tack; in the second with the morbid
craving Of dipsomania.
Here the passion to play assumes
the dimensions Of true mania; the
motiveless, irresponsible, and, at
times, furious excitement Of the sub
5eot lmpressing even those without
psychiatrlc knowledge as essentially
insane. 1t may be noted in this con-
nection that the gaming habit is not

How SUSPENSE Is Affected by
FEAR and by GAMBLING

the effective contrast IS as wide as
could we'll DO imagined. And, as II
this were not enough. the widely us
parate moods, obedient to the capric'
lousness OF chance, are rapidly alter
mated, victory following defeat and
vlce.versa, so that new composite
erethism Is engendered-an erethism
that knows neither respite nor re-
pose"
DR.. Corning has taken the case OF
the gambler as his example for ex-
planning the curve OF suspense.
Psychologists point out that the
fascination any games Of hazard may
have for yon varies in proportion to
the depth OF your curve Of suspense.
In professional gamblers It has been
shown that this curve Is abnormally
developed. while In those who play
only occasionally. 1t is but little
above normal.
