that the only way to drain the

clean out the river through the

will have a natural outlet, with
out obstruction from drifts.
When this is accomplished he
says that .much land now under

dead in his place of business,
rriday afternoon, about two
o'clock, by Gentry Short and
young Ballard, a son of J. L
Ballard. Short was working for
the old gentleman, and young
Ballard was to have entered his
employ Monday.
Death was due to hardening of
the arteries, a not uncommon
complaint to aged people. Dr.
Wood and Dr. Barrett, coroner,
state that the condition of the
arteries was such as one would
expect in people of extreme age.
In fact, measuring them with
those of health his blood coduits
would have been 150 years old.
Jacobsen had money, and in
his clothing were found $145
cash. He has a divorced wife,
if she is living, and two sons,
the latter living in California.
Jacobsen was a good workman.
and attended strictly to his own
affairs. Coroner Barrett held an
inquest on the body Saturday
morning, and the jury found
that death ensued from causes
as set out above.

The Independent and the
News-Times are having a little
passage-at-arms these days. Be
good, boys. What's the use of
quarrelling? Why don't you
apologize, like the Argus does
occasionally, and cut all this ruff
stuff. Just think what might
happen were either of you to get
y ur grammar twisted. Besides
uisgracing yourselves you might
make "skeezicks" have a faint
ing spell.
Every time you spot a Ford
machine just remember that
Ford carried the Nebraska pri
maries over both Roosevelt and
Hughes. Roosevelt ran second
with Hughes a poor third, the
trio being on the republican
ticket. This goes to show how
strong the peace idea is in the
minds of American people. "The
little old Ford rambled right
along."

DID YOU EVER CONSIDER
That your watch is normally "on the job" 24
hours each day?
That in each 24 hours the balance wheel vi
brates more than 400,000 times?
That a variation of of a minute in each
of these vibrations would cause a variation of
more than 4 minutes a day in the time of
your watch?
BY ACTUAL COUNT
143 distinct parts must be given individual
attention when the average watch is properly
cleaned and oiled.
IF YOU HAVE NOT
Thought of these little details, do so now, and
give us an opportunity to demonstrate the ex
tremely close timing which fine tools, . skill
and experience can accomplish with your
