Editorial
What the democrats of Dawes go
tag to do in the coming fall campaign?
Did the effect upon the senate of
John A. Logan's speech on the Fits
John Porter bill, show an increase
to popularity with this party?
How much better would It have
been for Logan to have taken a com
jod sense view of the Fitz John Por
ter bill, dropped all personal spite
and admitted facts than to have
Bvwwed in the cup and then have to
take his medicine afterward? A
bravo soldier matured into a bull
dozing crank.
The resorution of Fitz John Porter
been consummated. The bill
passed the senate by a vote of 30 to
17 and baa been signed by the presi
dent, thereby reinstating a brave sol
dier who has withstood u punish
ment double what he deserved, for
years. We must credit Jim Laird
with a great deal of this good work.

We often hear It said that such a
village or city is made what It is on
account of the enterprise and pub
lic spirit of its citizens. With the
mme proprietry and application
might this be said of any section of
agricultural country, developed to a
high degree of perfection. The most
casual observer cannot help but have
this fact impressed upon his mind
while traveling through the coun
try. Here is a neighbor, where on
very side is found evidence of thrift
and prosperity. Neat houses, clean
barnyards, handsome lawns made
beautiful with ornamental trees and
flower gardens. The fences are all
up. building painted, machinery un
der roof (if not In use) In fact every
thing evinces good taste and prosper
ity. You pass on, another neighbor
is reached, but how dlffe-cnt the
acene. Fences are down, boards
Spited off the stable, pigs in the kit
en. cows in the corn, trcs broken
down, and you are not at all surprised
when the possessor of that ungainly
spectacle tells you that he is tired of
farming and thinks of moving to
town to engage in business. Now
start your subscription paper for a
school house or a church and where
do you meet with success? You en
tar the first mentioned neighborhood
and every man you meet says, "Hand
me that paper," and his nr.meoes
down for 5, $10, $20 or $50, ac
cording to his means. Perhaps rhe
may add that he is not a church
member, that hp had no school privi
leges when young but inasmuch as
the public welfare demands these in
atltutions, he will do all he con to
support them. You pass on to the
next neighborhood. lAfter laboring
faithfully for an hour and a half with
the first man you meet, he reluctant
ly puts down his name for 25 cents.
You fold that paper and wonder why
God Almighty ever permitted such
creatures to live.
We ore pleased to notice that the
people of the Box Butte country in
general, are energetic and enterpris
ing. The newcomer 'labors under
many disadvantages. Some kind of
place to "live in" must be made, a
well must be dug and garden patch
plowed, before work of a more
showy and substantial order can be
done. Even this requires twice the
time estimated at the outset. Most
of us have made these first improve
ments, and the question now arises,
what shall next be done vthat will
most develop the best interests of
the country, and pay the largest rev
enue for labor and money expended
If we may be permitted to answer
this question we would Bay, nothing
would go farther to inspire confid
ence In the country with land seek
ers than to see ten, twenty or forty
acres broken on each claim through
out the Box Butte country. It has
occurred to us that possibly some of
us are not doing all we might in this
direction. Looking at this question
from a purely selfish standpoint, we
would ask in what way can the same
amount of money be Invested that
will in all probability yield as great
returns as this Investment. It is the
history of every new country that the
demand for most everything that
can be ralBed is greater than the
applf for several years. This ol
ways assures good prices, and when
we consider the fact, too, that the
vast section of mining country to the
west land northwest is as yet undo
veloped; It makes the prospect for the
practical farmer in this locality look
most flattering. This is the natural
supply point for the great mining
region of Wyoming, which territory
is rich in coal and the various min
erals. As soon as the railroads are
pushed into that country the mines
will be developed and a near home
market will be created for all we can
raise for years to come. We have
great confidence in our people and

As your reporter was up at our
grand celebration we will give you
only minor mentions of a few facts.
The Eagle Hotel fed upwards of
100 hungry people on the 3rd. It
only shows what advertising in the
Grip will do.
The civil suit, Wilson vs. Perlick,
which was continued from last month
was settled last week at Justice
Hampton's court. The case was ably
sustained on the plaintiff's side by
James H. Wanskln, while the de
fendant was equally as. well repre
sented by H. H. Tomlinson after a
great deal of Irrelevant testimony
and considerable Dutch talk, the
court gave judgment for $8.32. A
stay was taken.
E. I. Oregg leaves this week for
his preemption, for ' a short time.
Harry Bell is to ring the tuning fork
and have general management in his
absence.
A little fracas occurred at one of
our hotels the other evening. A few
bruises and a little loud talk was
the final terminus.
Joseph Hare left on Monday for
Omaha. Boys, look out for your
rooster this time.
Hemingford'a "missing link" came
back last week from an extended
trip through the east.
By some mismanagement cur mu
sic was a failure on tne 3d.
M. J. Bailey gave us a very pleas
ant call the other day. He sold he
was lonesome, so came up and
looked on while our agents juBt
rolled in the shekels.
The silver-tongued orator of Non
pareil gave universal satisfaction
here on the 3d. If he would only
get in a better town and change his
business we would predict him a
bright future.
That girl who got her foot Into
the wash tub wants to see Heath, and
If he does not get his foot Into it we
will not predict on the weather again.
Another contest case was tried be
fore Burlew the other day. Hamp

fence was held down by Eddie John
son. George W. Waisncr has some very
fine new potatoes. Call on him when
hungry.

Locals
We are informed by a gentleman
who arrived in Nonpareil a few days
since, from the Broken Bow country,
that the B. & M. road is being graded
100 miles west of Broken Bow, and
that the dirt will begin to fly in the
Box Butte country in a short time.
The grade stakes are being stuck in
Sheridan county. The U. P. sur
veyors are alBo pushing their line at
a rapid rate, and there is some
question as to which line will be
built first.
Nonpareil is to have a barber.
If there is anything that will not
srow in the Box Butte country it is
Hemlngford.
Rumor says there is some little
doubt as to the legality of several
final proofs made recently upon
claims at Hemingford.

Told by the Pilot
"Yes, the artificial banks along
this river made capital oreastworks
for the confederates," said the pilot
as we steamed down the mighty
Mississippi. "Safety sheltered by the
heavy walls of earth, I've had mor'n
one crack at a Yankee gunboat my
self." "Then you were in tho service?"
"Must have bin. I belonged to a
sort o' independent troop, and most
of our fighting waa from these 'ere
banks. Do you see that grove away
off up there?"
"Yes."
"Well, in war timer, a big house
stood there. Fifty of us were eating
dinner thore one day when some
body saw a Yankee gunboat along
about hero. We all rushed for the
tank, and when she came along we
opened with our muskets. By and
by she replied with a shell from a
big gun. It struck the bank near
the top and Jist lifted about ten wa
gon loads of dirt up in a heap and
let it fall on our captain."
"Kill him?"
"No, I reckon not, but it buried
him clear out of tight."
"How did he feel when you got
him out?"
"We didn't git him out."
"You didn't! Why noi?"
"Too busy holding an elction for
tome one to take hla place. We
couldn't think of everything at once,
you know, and then It vu such a
cheap and easy way of burying a
man. They might have dug him out
since the war, but I reckon he was
no good. Been there too long."

('annon'a Left Hand
Washington Hatchet: Hon. Jo
seph Cannon, the loud talking mem
ber from Illinois, canont speak a
minute without striking out vigor
ously with bis left arm. The faster
he talks the swifter his left fist flies
through the air at the democratic
side of the house. His compliments
in that direction aft always left
handed. One day, two or three ses
sions back, "Sunset" Cox had the
floor in the midst of an important de
bate. Cannon Jumped up to a6k him
a question, and, as usual, set his left
arm in motion, with the long, bony
finger violently vibrating toward the
head of the New York humorist.
"I will grant the gentleman's re
quest upon one condition," said Cox.
"What is it?" asked Cannon.
"That you put your left hand In
your rocket and keep it there until
you get through with qour question,"
replied Cox.
Cannon was a little nonplussed at
the novelty of the contract, but pro
ceeded to comply with the terms.
He did not get half through his
question, however, before out flew
his fist on a level with "Sunset."
"Stop," said Cox, not another
word. I knew you cpuldnt keep your
promise. I am not going to have
that left-handed lick at me forever."
And he shut off the nember from
Illinois.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
The War Savings Stamps What
They Are And Why You
Should Buy Them
This article was submitted by
Frank C. Bullto, State Publicity Man
ager, Notional "War Savings Committee.
The National War Savings Com
mittee Is not only endeavoring to
raise two billion dollars for the gov
ernment through the sale of War
Savings Stamps, hut Is attempting to
create In the American poaple the
habit of thrift and economy.
In the words of Lloyd George, the
War Savings Committee hopes to
teach the people that in war time?
"extravagance and the purchase of
non-essentials Is treason."
Every time a citizen In these war
times purchases a thing not absolutely
necessary to his health and comfort
he Is assisting In blotting out more
American lives by Prussian Shells.
When one purchases something he
does not need he makes men work
who could otherwise be producing
guns and munitions to help end the
war more quickly.
There are not enough workmen In
the country to produce all the luxu
ries and necessities the people have
money to buy and at the same time
make sufficient guns, munitions and
supplies for the military forcea.
Those who save their money and
loan It to the government are saving
the lives of American soldiers; those
who spend their money as they plea so
may help kill their own sons or their
neighbors' sons who are over there In
the trenches fighting for them.
The government needs money and
labor now and needs It bad. It Is the
patriotic privilege and duty of every
cltisen not only to loan all the money
he can to the government, but to per
mlt the government to borrow the la
bor It needs through his abstaining
from the purchase of things he does
not need.
The government is endeavoring to
raise money now through the sale of
War Savings Stamps. These stamps
are issued in '!!"-tent sizes (known as
Thrift Stamps), and ff sizes (known
as War Savings Certificate StHmps).
When you buy the first 25-cent
tamp you are given a card with
spaces to hold fifteen more stamps of
this size. These stamps are intended
primarily for children's savings, and
do not bear Interest, but when the
card Is full it can be truded In on
a $f. stamp that does.
When you get the first $6 stamp
you are given a certificate card with
spaces for twenty stumps of this size.
The stamps draw 4 Interest, com
pounded quarterly, which is equiva
lent to about 4 V; This is the high
est rate of interest the government
has ever paid.
S5 stump costs S4.12 now and a
cent more each month for the reat of
the year. In five years It will be
worth $6. But you do not need to
keep toe stamps Ave years unless you
want to. Whether you have one or
two hundred of them you may cash
them any time at the postofflce on ten
days' notice. But If you do not hold
them for five years you get only 3
Interest on the money Invested In
them from the time you bought them
antll you cash them In. To get 4
compound Interest you must bold them
to the date of maturity, which la
