DRESS SALE
An error was made in looking over our calendar last
week. The end of our DRESS SALES should have
been set for August 18th instead of August 11th.
If you can sew, these 1-4 price dresses are gifts.
They can either be remodeled for yourself or made in
to dresses for the small girls of the family.
There are a few of the 1-2 price dresses left, and it is
not neccessary for us to say anything in their favor—
they will speak for themselves.

Making the Record.
L. L. Van Ginkel has established
this year's wheat crop record in all
probability. One fieid which he rais
ed on the McNerney ranch returned
a yield of 65 bushels per acre ami
sold at $2.67 per bushel or at the rate
of $174 per acre. That will pay pretty
fair interest on SIOO land. The Amer
ican Beet Sugar Co. threshed out 5?
bushels per acre on a 35 acre field on
the East farm and sold it for $2.6S
per bushel making a return of sl3!
per acre for the field. Since Mr.
Hoover, the food dictator, has now
taken hold of the situation it is be
lieved that the future sales will be a
a much lower figure and there will b<
no more returns equal to these fig
ures. The mills are not buying a*
present, but waiting for him to : ;
nounce his policy for the future.

Circus Day.
Cole Bros, circus came to town on
Monday and if uny person doubted
the desire of our people* to see the old
fashioned favorite entertainment of
both young and old all they had to
do was to view the crowd. The tent
was packed to overflowing in the aft
ernoon, and the management not
dreaming they could have two such
crowds in one day tore down part of j
the seats before the evening per
formance. They had to put part of
them up again. The town was full i
of people some coming from u d
tance of a hundred miles, and all were
jammed on its streets when the par
ade went by. Everybody was happy
and contented even if it was only a
small circus. What there was of .
was good and it was the first time
they had the opportunity in two years.
It is time our city council repealed
the antiquated license ordinance try
ing to keep circuses out of town to
prevent people from spending their
money. The ones that go uway to see
circuses at other points take a lot of
money out of town. While the people
who would come here to see a big cir
cus would leave more money than the
circus could get away with. We be
lieve in offering inducements to the
best and biggest shows to make this
town every year. Nobody but a regu
lar killjoy grouch is opposed to a cir
rus anyway.
Heavy Rains.
Most sections of this county have
been visited by heavy rains the past
week breaking the long drouth from
which we have suffered. The weather
has moderated materially since, and
all sections where it fell report great
crop improvement. Several of the
♦•reeks were flooded on Monday night
causing a temporary blockade* on the
railroad but it was soon broken.
REAL FOOD VALUE IN SALADS.
Though Often Regarded as Dinner-
I Table Folderols, They Contain
Valuable Food Elements.
Some people think that salads ar
an extravagance, time killers, and
general nuisances. However, if the
food value of salads is properly up
' predated, their use will not be con
j fined to company dinners and Ladies'
! Aid meetings.
In the first place, any salad drest
ing contains a considerable amount o
fat. Usually, there is an accon
paniment of herbs, as lettuce or water
cress, that furnish valuable mineral
constituents, as well as giving bulk.
' For the materials for the main pan
of the dish, there are many to choose
from. If the meal has been heav>.
J fruits, furnishing water and mineral-,
might well be chosen. If the rest of
the meal is light, the more nutritiou>
' animal or vegetable foods may b
r used, c. g., meats, shell fish, eggs,
P nuts, cheese, or vegetables, either raw
'or cooked.
A salad is a many-sided dish, in
. that is usually includes some of all
the food principles. There is con
. trast in texture, flavor, and color.
, The appearance of a salad may be
decided stimulant to the appetite.
Also, salads are just as valuabb
for the man doing heavy work, a
they are for his wife, and they will
not make him into a monocled, wrist
watched mollycodle. Try them and
