understand that the people of Well
fleet, iit south Lincoln county, are mak
ing a fight for it. This location is
dimply out of the question and would
not accomplish that which the legisla
ture set out in the bill, namely, a
hatchery for western Nebraska, and
less transportation charges.
There are four state hatcheries Jn
Nebraska at present. They are Gretna
in the cast, Valentine in the north,
Henkleman in the south and South
JJend in the northeastern parts. Now
then take a state map and follow us.
First find Wcllfleet in Lincoln county
nd go from there to Denkleman in
Dundy county, and note the distance
Letween; also note that both hatcher
Jen are on the B. & M. railroad and in
order to supply this part of the state
fun would have to be shipped to Sterl
ing Col., and back to Bridgeport, or
to Iloldrege, to Kenesaw, to Kearney
and then to Bridgeport. . Now look at
Lisco in Garden county and you will
readily see that it is the logical point
to locate the hatchery for the m tern
part of the state. Not only logical but
most economical when it comes to ri.il
load transportation for if it is located
at Lisco not over fifty miles we&t will
connect it with the main iine of the
B. & M railroad ami not over 100
miles to haul before reaching-the main
line of the Union Pacific.
Any one of the four present hutih
ries could supply the western part
of the state with fish as chei.j er
cheaper than the proposal on. at Wcll-
fleet. Garden county followers of I.e
Walton, who worked hard in conjunc
t'on with legislators for a hatchery for
this end of the state, are in favor of
havinir the law repealed and tho $10,-
4)00 saved the taxpayers if it is to be
disgraced in this manner.
Anyone who ha lived in the state
thirty-nve years is eligible to member
ship.

members back of his proposal. If he
is able to do that, I will personally
see to it that the bill is suspended by
the filing of a referendum petition

Fewer Licenses Were
Issued in 1921 Than
Any Year Since 1917
County Judge Taah has decided that
1921 was a poor year for Cupid. At
least the marriage license record
would point to that conclusion, for
fewer licenses were granted in 1921
than for any year since 1917, when the
judge assumed the burden of the
office.
The record shows that there were
151 couples made happy in 1917; 136
in 1918; 182 in 1919, 212 in 1920 and
onljr 132 in 1921. A comparison with

CREDIT LIST RAISES
ROW AT FALLS CITY
FALLS CITY-s-About seventy citi
zens of this community gathered at the
Eagle hall to voice their disapproval of
a credit list purported to have been
issued by a merchant's bureau of this
ctiy. A chairman wa3 selected and
quite a number made short talks. A
list of over seven hundred names was
then read which were reputed to be
eitner "dead beats or poor pay. Some
prominent men and women have found
their names on this list
Both the officers of the local cham
ber of commerce and the merchants'
bureau assert that the list was not
compiled under their direction and
desire to be relieved of responsibility.
Investigating committees were ap
pointed and another mass meeting
will be held next week at which time
every one of the seven hundred or
more will be expected to attend.
The officers o the chamber of com
merce and . the merchants' bureau
have also been asked to be present as
there is a strong desire on the part
of everybody to fix responsibility for
the list. The feeling is very keen for
the reason that many whose names
are on the list cannot find out why
they were blacklisted. One of the
names on the list is that of a hero who
died on the fields of France and was
given a military funeral here after
the war. . ,
