Mir. and Mrs. Guy D. Keller left
Monday morning for Oxford, Nebras
ka, Vhere they expect to make their
future home. Mr, Keller, like gome
of the other soldier boys, exercised
good Judgement In coming to Lincoln
County to get, a wife
The fifth anniversary of the marriage
Of Mr. nd Mrs; Maurlo Andersen,
was celebrated at their home Saturday
evening. Cards and other gan a'-vore
played, and a good social time was
had by all present A light lunch was
served.
The public school will give an en
tertainment at the Government S'hocl
, building, February 22nd, at 8: P. M.
A good program Is being prepared and
a general good time anticipated. A
supper will be served with plenty of
good eats under the cafeteria fashion.
Everybody welcome. s
The winter has been so mild and
pleasant that we hardly realize that
It Is nearly over. We have had no
now or high water in the river. The
nignest was fifteen feet above low
water mark. The grass has kept green
und
growing most all winter. The
robin red breast and meadow lark have
kept up their songs nearly all the
time. Sickness has been light except.
the flu, and that was very mild with
scarcely any fatalities.
' Slletz has been on the right side
all the time. She furnished a good
bunch of soldiers to help lick the
Bodies, and it was done to a frazzle.
Now the boys are coming home feeling
as fine as a fiddle. The last that have
come are Dewey Washington, Leo
Umatarter and Marlon Curl '
Ws all favor the "League of Na
tions," and believe the great men that
nave the matter In hand will work It
out satisfactorily. We cannot trust
the German because he has so grossly
deceived us. We cannot trust Bol-
ehevlsm because It undermines free,
government and places the whole hu
man race In one family, which they
call the "working class." It destroys
all capital and all society and pro
poses to keep Itself in power by rais
ing Oe red Aug of anarchy. Our gov
ernment has grown great and strong
under our system of laws and institu
tions and we propose to keep it that
way. Whenever any foreigner or fol
lower of Bolshevlklsm comes here and
commences to criticize our laws, our
people, our institutions, and our way
of doing things, he wants to be sup-,
pressed at once and sent back to the
country be came from. We have been
entirety toe tolerant of that kind of
people and that is the reason we are
having so much trouble now. -If the
Bolshevik people had been strong
enough they would have started a
revolution in this country.

MARKET FOR BEANS
AND BERRIES ASSURED
.(Lincoln Co. Farm Bureau News)
The Toledo Cannery Is now ready to
contract with growers for Kentucky
i Wonder string beans and evorgreen
! blackberries, and Is also very anxious
to know If there Is any earlier fruit,
such as plums, red and black rasp
berries, loganborrles, etc.
Mr. Qraves assured the office that
he will pay all the market will stand.'
He Is now awaiting final Information
from the markets and hopes, within a
few days, to announce definitely the
price he will pay for beans. He hopes
It will be 3 cents per pound, as earlier
suggested, tut our disadvantage In
freight rate and the depressing market
may force the price a quarter of a cent
lower. Evergreen berries are betas
contracted for at i cents, with a
possibility of their going to 5 cents
before the soaeon closes.
Farmers who do not get to see Mr.
Oraves may secure the contract forms
for either crop by writing or calling at
the office. It Is Important that farmers
desiring to grow beans should make
arrangements early, in order that the
cannery may know the approximate
amount af bean seed to order, as tho
seed market Is rising and the supply
for the coming year should be
purchased ae soon as possllbe. Mr.
Graves anticipates purchasing the re
quired amount of seed In largo quanti
ties at discount prices, furnishing It
to the growers at reduced prices, same
being paid for out of the sale of beans
later delivered to the cannery.
