S Kearney, Ntbr., December 1, 1916. To the Members of the Nebraska Slate Voluntet r Firemen's Association. Brother Firemen: The Thirty-fifth Annual Convention of the Nebraska State Volunteer Firemen's Association will bo held in the rtty of Auburn, January 16, 17 and 18, 1917. The Unit serfalon will bo hld at 7:30 p. in., Tuesday, Janu ary 16.. All duly-elected delegates of previous conventions remain members of the Association and are entitled to all the 'privileges of the meeting upon the payment, of the annual dues of $1 in advance, which must be paid to the secretary before January 1. or a penalty of $1 will be added. This is the law, and. therefore, will be strictly enforced. All such members need no rredentials. Each department that Is a member of this Association is entitled to be represented by the Chief on the payment of the annual dues of 12. Each Company that ! a member'ls entitled to a new delegate, and you should seo to it that your company elects a delegate and that his credentials and the annual dues of $2 are sent to the secretary before January 1, or the penalty of $1 will be added. Chiefs hold their ofllcea for several years, but remember that your de partment pays annual dues of f 2 and th chief Is the representative Just as long as he holds the office. When he retires as chief he can retain his mem bership by paying the annual dues of $1. In sending in the dues always give the name of the Chief and the name of the delegate-elect, and the name of the Company the delegate Is to rep resent, so that I can get their names on the list 6f members. In case you do not Intend to send a delegate, but you want to pay the dues so as to keep your Company In good standing, Just say when you remit that there will be no delegate, then I can give your Company proper credit and make the note that there will be no deelgate. I would appeal to all the old members to pay your dues and ' keep in good standing whether you attend the convention or not. Next year you may want to attend and It is better to keep In good standing than to have to reinstate. , And to the Departments and Companies, pay your dues whether you send a delegate or not. but I would urge vou to at least send th rhlpf or on I delegate, for the benefit of your department. I would urge that the Chief, or some member of the department, collect the dues and send all at one time, giving a typewritten list of the names and what Company they belong to, as I like to have every person's name cor rect. I hope that all will comply with this request as far as possible, f6r it will be a great help In having the report ready at the Convention. , . Remember that the time for paying dues has been changed to January 1. This means Departments and Companies as well as members. Call a special meeting during December, if necessary, and elect your Delegate, so you can remit before the penalty goes Into effect. ( The Missouri Pacific Railroad has agreed to park all special cars, and E. L, Perry, traveling passenger agent for this road, personally informed me that they would park the cars within a few blocks of the meeting place, which will make It very convenient. A letter Just received from the Secretary of the Auburn Department In forms me that they will be disappointed if there are not 500- or more dele gates in attendance, and that they are going to decorate the delegation that makes the most noise with the "Iron Cross," so I would advise the delega tion that holds the banner for that distinction to get busy or they may lose out. .. They are anxious also to show their hospitality, and the members that do' not attend, Lam sure, will regret it when too late. To the chief or other person that receives this letter with blank Chief's Report and blank Credentials, you will notice that one blank Is for the chief, and the others are" for the delegates elected from the companies. Please see that they get Into the proper person's hands. Headquarters will be at the Auburn Hotel. Any further Information will be cheerfully give non inquiry. 1 i Fraternally,' E. A. MILLER.

People who thus keep themselves chained become narrow, lose' interest and en thusiasm and pet nowhere. They get somewhere who go somewhere. Farmers and stockmen who travel some, and keep in touch with what is going on in the big held of agri culture and animal husbandry live In better homes, have better farms, better buildings, more friends, are more interesting to meet and get wore out of life than those who shut themselves in and refuse to extend Vheir sympathies and presence into the life of thflr home. Wen owe It to themselves and their families occasionally to break out of the little world In which they live mid establish contact with the deep e rand broader currents of life that fir-w jn big events and big centers. It is the man who gets out of his shell and se-s what the world is doing and hours what it is Baying who does things at home. Two big events in the near future should interest evesy farmer and stockman in Sheridan county. The International Uve Stock Exposition at Chicago commencing December 2 will prove a rare treat for the stock man. Commencing January 15 the week of organized agriculture at our own state farm is an event tbflt should prove interesting and profita ble to every farmer in this county. There is a movement on foot to have a large delegation from Sheridaa county present at Lincoln at thin time. If you are Interested in dairy ing, beef cattle, horses, sheep, swine, horticulture or grain improvement you will find here speakers and ex hibitions that will help you-and yo will come home filled with enthus iasm to go at ypxxr task with real in terest and feel' that you are really a part of the big world in which you live. Seriously think this over and plan to take a week off when the farm work is not crowding. You will receive returns with good inter est, on the investment. A. C. NORTH. County Agricultural Agent. MAY MUUiE COMMISSIOXKUS Merging of the state hotel com mission with the food, drug, dairy and oil commission Is believed to be a possibility at the coming session of the legislature. This is being urged as a measure which would Increase the efficiency of the hotel bureau and at tho same time make Its operation less expensive than at present. t V T ? y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y t y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y '7 tfiT-1 : : t-- 1&6&er Stocks Wf Idefiter Choice L YGr eater Vdrcefy g ' jfldetc'ej" Service HOLIDAY SPECIALS AND FURNITURE FOR THE COMFORTS OF HOME ARE PLENTIFUL AT OUR STORE.
