 I the prospects of future prosperity of 

 this eoinniunity and enthuses us to at- 

 tempt to improve our lands and busi- 

 ness and citizenry to the limit of hu- 

 man possibility. We hope that in re- 

 turn for the value you h|-ing us we 

 can impress you iwilh the liict that we 

 deeply appreciate your coming and are 

 only sorry that you cannot linger with 

 us a greater length of timei 



You know, and we know, that not- 

 withstanding the fact that the city 

 men and the. farmer criticize one an- 

 other for shortcomings which neither 

 understand, the farmer depends upon 

 the city to market his crops and the 

 city man depends upon the farmer for 

 his very life and for his institutions. 

 \Vc believe that such meetings as this 

 will help remove the misunderstand- 

 ings and will smooth the paths by 

 which the city communicates with the 

 farmers and the -farmers with the city 

 ' to the benefit a^d prosperity of both 

 business men and the agriculturist. We 

 cannot but here express our hope and 

 trust that both you and the men of Lo- 

 iian county, no matter in which busi- 

 i ness we may be engaged, will continue 

 in greater aiul greater peace and pros- 

 I perily. '*

ny reason of his superior prowess 

 in the now famous contest. Mr. Shep 

 ler was awarded a pure galvanized 

 iron medal this afternoon by J. 11. 

 Checkley, Logan county ^jrm adviser, 

 was never printed since it was 

 thought by the editor of The llecoril 

 that no other lies would be submitte 

 by Farm Bureau members if Mr. Shep- 

 ler's was publishe<l. It was a simple 

 honest lie; it said: "I never told a 

 lie." 



during the community singfest. The 

 nu'dal was of dainty proportions, be- 

 ing only l.S inches wide and weighing 

 slightly more than five pounds. The 

 medal was awarded for the superiority 

 of a lie consisting of five short words, 



Three yards of brilliant purple rib- 

 bon draped from the medal called the 

 world's attention to the noble inscrip- 

 tion on the bronzed face of the medal 

 which read: "To the Higgest Liar So 

 Far in the I. A. A. Record Liar's Con- 

 test." 



Shepler Pleased. 



Bowing and nodding to his many 

 friends who went wild with glee when 

 they heard of the fine victory won by 

 the local man, Mr. Shepler accepted 

 the coveted honor and thanked the 

 management of the 1. A. A. Record 

 for its overwhelming generosity. 



Tlie selection of "The Biggest Liar 

 So Far" was a tedious task for the 

 three good men who were cfioscn to 

 make au unbiased study of tlie large 

 bunch of lies submitted in the con- 

 test. 



Three Ministers Pick Best Lie. 



Three local spreailers of the gospel 

 — the Rev. tJeorge Sutton, pastor of 

 the Presbyterian church; the Kev. A. 

 It. Crummon, pastor of the Methodist 

 church, and Father Leo P. Ileiikle of 

 St. Mary's church — all of Lincoln, com- 

 prised the coinmlltee named to make 

 the award. ' 



"There was considerable apparent 

 and intentional lack of honesty in tiie 

 batch of falsehoods." declared one 

 Id' the ininislors. ' The winning lie 

 was selected for its simplicity and 

 honesty. 



Shepler for Stumping. 



It was thought by several farm bu- 

 reau folks in the crowd today that Mr. 

 Shepler would be sought by Uepub- 

 licans. Democrats and LaFollettes to 

 make' campaign speeches this fall. It 

 was said that his success in the con- 

 test would bring him national renown 

 since i)oliticians the country over have 

 been attempting to gain his ability for 

 some years. 



"t felt 1 had a fair chance for vie 

 tory when i entt-red the contest," said 

 .Mr. Shepler today after receiving the 

 medal. "Honesty is my watchword 

 1 applied my slogan to this contest and 

 as you see, 1 have been ac<-laimed 'The 

 Biggest Liar So Far.' However, 1 do 

 not wish to claim all the glory. There 

 are men in my own community who 

 would beat me sixty ways from Sun 

 day if they would enter some of their 

 .dories. Tliey arc' good at telling 'em, 

 but they can't write 'em."

 low, orange ami green programs tell- 

 ing the events of tlie day were di.s-

Another 5. Mint tags bearing the in- 

 scription: "Boost Farm Bureau Base 

 Ball" were to be disposed of today. It 

 had not been decided whether the lags 

 Ehould be sold or given away. It was 

 thought that by selling the tags, a part 

 of the base liall team's traveling ex- 

 i:enses would be defrayed.

Foretelling the Weather 



The weather bureau says that the 

 forecasting of weather for more than 

 a few days In advance is attended with 

 great uncertainty. For this reason the 

 national weather bureaus In various 

 countries do not attempt detailed fore- 

 casts of the weather for more than 

 a week In advance. Beyond a week 

 the condition of the weather cannot be 

 foretold according to reliable aud 

 scie*illc principles.
