The pastures are about dried up and water is getting scarce. A great many are hauling water and some are having to feed their cows. L. K.

They contain the biggest news, the most important message that will appear in all the announcements on 1914 cars. America’s leading dealers—the men who sold 30,000 Buicks last year, and have sold 150,000 in aH—find that we have overleaped even their highest expectations.

We are sorry to loose them from our community. W. H. Keeton and family spent last Sunday at Albert Daniels. Even Spillman stayed all night at his mother’s last Saturday night. The writer has quite a time this hot weather cutting weeds to feed his cows as the pasture is no good. Lee Galloway of Nebraska, who is here ona visit with friends reports that the wheat and oat crop was good there, but the corn crop will be quite a failure. How are you people at Butler go- ing to attend the fair and ‘work the roads on the 20th and 21th. I think that I see most of you fellows going to the fair, for it won’t be as hot at the fair as it will working on the, road. Clarance Spillman took in the sights at Butler last Saturday. G. W.

The next attraction of general in- terest will be the County Fair which is to be held at Butler August 19 to 22, and judging fromjthe attractions outlined in the catalog the years fair will probably be the most interesting ever held in the county. The special attractions this year promise to be extra fine. The biplane {flights will be of interest to every one and the exhibit of the Modlin poultry farm alone will be worth several times the price of admission. JOHNNY. Hog-Cholera Fight Opens.
