Yes, it is very dry and the com crop
is fast vanishing from sight. We en-

made possible by the many thousands
of acres of heavy wheat stubble to the

The record of Judge R. L. Williams—An Open Book.
It will give him the nomination for Governor.
The long campaign of 1914 is nearing an end and the nomination
of Judge R. L. Williams is now assured. He will carry at least 60
counties in the state and will receive the nomination with the biggest
plurality ever given a candidate on the democratic ticket for governor.
He is the anti-machine candidate opposed by John R. Williams
School Land Machine; Dr. J. C. Mahr’s Medical Machine; Lon Frame,
of the Hoard of Affairs; Ben Riley, of the State Election Board; in
fact by all the Administration machinery which can be controlled.
There are hundreds of friends and many appointees whom Governor
Cruce cannot control, but the machine part of the Administration is
for Robertson and against Judge Williams.
Opposed to this machine are thousands upon thousands of laborers,
farmers, business and professional men and they have organized
almost every precinct in the state in behalf of Judge Williams. Thous-
ands of letters have been poured into the R. L. Williams Good Gov-
ernment Club, telling of the gains he has made in the last month,
and to say that he will carry 60 counties is putting it conservatively.

News items are very scarce, but
Nemo is always expected to furnish a
column of dope that is of human in
terest to our many readers. This is
almost an impossibility at this time.
Last Saturday morning, very early,
before It was yet day, Guy Cromwell
phoned to Dr. Hamilton at Manches-
ter that an ominous looking bird was
hovering about his home and that .it
might be the stork they were expect-
ing. The doctor answered that he
was not the game warden, but would
come out and see that the bird was
properly received. Later we received
a phone message that the doctor was
sure that it was the Btork, and that a
i little girl had been left at the Crom-
well home. E A. Wood, who has
been keeping a notch stick, assures
us that this is No. fifteen of the
grandchildren. E E Burdue Is en-
titled to some of the credit for getting
the doctor to the Cromwell home on
schedule time.
Mike Ohl reports that two of his
children have measles, for which a
threshing machine man who lives in
Wichita is responsible. Mike says
that the kids are coming through in
One shape and will soon be out again.
Last week the flues of Oscar Hess’
engine became so leaky that Joe
Frledle, the engineer, could not keep
up steam. A new set was ordered
and now they are again threshing.
The pastures are getting very short
and the prairie hay crop is anear fail-
ure, so that wheat pasture will be
again required for the stock to get
through the coming winter.
Dr. Waters, who a few years ago
was a druggist in Manchester but
who saw a good opening in Missouri
and moved over there, is here visit-
ing his daughter, Mrs. Frank Elbie.
The doctor is working for a house
that gives him a month’s lay-off on
full pay every summer.
’•Loke” Brasier has finished thresh-
ing for Chris Jensen and has moved
dov((n to Tom Koehler’s big farm. He
has had the machine repaired and It
Is doing good work and plenty of It.
Fred and Cash Wood went over to
Gibbon Saturday to see how R. E.
Hite was coming on with hls new
kerosene tractor. The boys were so
well pleased that they will buy a sim-
ilar machine next year if the crop Is
good, with which to thresh iu these
parts, as we have always had mere or
less trouble to get a machine between
the two creeks. Kerosene is the only
power to use in threshing.
We are feeling a little blue over
crop conditions, but then the rains
will come and everybody will get busy
and be prosperous.
Some of the little Republican pa-
pers are publishing a lot of rot against
Senator Gore, but they well know
that the senator has made good.
Republican Candidate Fields says
in his little farm paper that farmers
should feed their wheat to the hogs.
That Is just what the farmers are
doing, but It is to the two legged va-
riety.
Senator Gore Is representing the
farmer and laborer, always ready to
champion their cause, and we hope
they will not forget to support him
on the 4th of August.

. Remember
Remember the old saying, "The
best is the cheapest.” This is es-
pecially true of a sewiug machine.
Many dealers au>1 catalogue houses
claim so much for a little money, and
advise you to beware of ageuts, who
fool so many people Into buying oheap
John sewing machines, which are
often very short lived and do very
poor work.
Singer machines are made to do the
work, and to last as long as the aver-
age life of a woman. They are sold on
Installments, so that you can have
two years in which to pay for them.
You can always get repairs, needles
and oil from the Singer salesman.
