The wheat harvest is now in. full
blast, with a splendid crop of the
grain necessary to keeping the boys

The one shortage in this harvest sea-

if such service is necessary to save

Bethel's Cash Meat Ms~ket.
j. G. Williams was in town Monday
from his splendid farm near Liberty
vile. This, we believe, was "Uncle
Joe's" first visit to town in several
weeks. He appears to have practi-
cally deserted his splendid town home
during the crop season, as he is doing
all he can to put Mr.. Hoover's plans
over with an enormous crop. He was
considerably worried, however, over
the fact that dogs have for some time
past been making disastrous depreda-
tions on his flock of sheep, having
killed a number for him. He said one
thing that had brought him to town
was to file for Representative, and
seemed to be disappointed When he
found that the filing period had al
ready gone by. He stated that he de-
sired to go to the Legislature only for
the purpose of assisting in the pas
sage of law to put sheep-killing
dogs out of business.
These are the days when the ap-
petite often has to be begged. In
which case you should visit the Old
Reliable Meat Market. The chances
are 1000-to-1 that your appetite will
no longer remain dormant after look
ing over the enticing line of meats
and vegetables, which is "Uncle
Toms" speciality.
