Nebraska, the editor toiled throuuh
the sandhill roads and he toiled fully
as much as the flivver. All the Henry
had to do was to follow the road.-;
it was up to the editor to nuoss, which
one of a dozen trail was the rin'lit

Jrom the hills at du-k, we met n
stranger a tourist, lb was younK
and strong, and so, apparently was
the bunch of kids ar.d the woman
who occupied the bi car. He waved
his hand cheeiily and went on. We
hope he made the trip, but our sym
pathies went out to him in full meas
ure. We wonder how hing it was be
fore the smile left his face.
Why in blaze can't r.' Butte coun
ty have some road.; that are passable,
even to the lowly flivver. There i
plenty of money i-jiont on them, n""d
ne.ss knows. Once, some years ao.
pome rnterprisintf fellows market
those sandhill roads, but now the paint
is Rone from mo.-t of the po: ts and
the cattle have knocked down nearly
all the rest of the maiker. The auto
mobile trates are in frightful shape.
The road is worse.
Over on the Lincoln highway, hun
dreds of tourists are passing nlonr
every day, leaving money in mo.-t of
the towns where they pass. On the
highway, where the eople have some
idea of the important of tourist travel,
it is sometimes necessary to rebuild
and surface roads, but the minute the
road isn't in shape to be traveled upon,
someone takes interest enounh to see
that detour signs nre put up promptly,
and that they are taken down the min
ute the road is ready.
The sandhill roads are bad enough
for the fellows who can find their way
easily. To strangers attracted this
ay by promises of a short route to
the Black Hills, they must leave a
. frightful taste in the mouth. The
biithe tourist who makes that trip
alone, with a road marker every te,n
miles, will probably go out and tell
the world to beware of Box Butte
county. If he doesn't, he's one of the
most patient and forgiving men on
earth.
Our fuggestion, the result of some
little aiiguj.-k on tur part, L: th&t some
of us get busy and try for a real road
through the sandhills. At present,
ve're dividing our efforts between two

than a trail. It's time for business

out what they're buying with the huge
sums that annually go for road con

The railroads will, in time, get pas

by train will cost very little more than
by automobile. If they do it soon
enough, they may save a fair portion
of their summer business. However,
thej're laying down on the job, where
as there are hundred of agencies
which are working to increase the
popularity of automobile tours. There's

HOWARD FOR t'ONGRKSS.
The daily ncw.-papers say that lvl
gar Howard, the veteran editor of the
Columbus Telegram, has intimated
that lie will make the race for con
trcs in the Third district, provided
his friends put him s;uarc!y up
against the gun by filing a nominat-

Certainly, there are too many

But, also, there are too many people
in need of help.
Too much hunger and misery and
suffering in tlie world.
Too many young people going as
trav to make' trouble for themselve.
and the world later, partly because
there are .-o many men ami women
like the man inioted, who hate to h

world that it is iinv business of theirs

what F.dgar would or would not do,
and very often they have gues.-ed
wrong. Sometimes, indeed, they have
sought to make tt.aible for him by
deliberately misrepresenting his inten
tions, but this time, we hope, this is
not the case.
Kditors, as a rule, do well to keep
away from office seeking, and to con
fine their ell'orts toward electing oth
ers. Kdgar Howard is one of the few
exceptions that prove the rule. He is
so well iualified for congress, so much
more fit than other editorial Aspir
ants in his di. trict and elsewhere, that
we have often wondered why he has
not leen forced into this task before.
If the political friends in his district,
for whom he has so often done signal
service, will give him but a tithe of
the support that he has in the past ac
corded them, Edgar Howard will be
elected by the largest majority ever
returned in the Third district for any
candidate.
There are those who look askance at
Edgar the past few years. Some say
he has lieen led astray by the various
' movements to which he has at times
lent a helping hand. His sympathies
are as wide as his heart is big, and
his .enthusiasm ..writs.- hm ..vthci:

and sane and blessed with keen insight

The railroads are making their an
nual summer rates to tourists and
vacationists, and the prices this sum
mer are lowest in years. Time was.
vhen the passenger fares were around
2 cents a mile, that the summer cuts
would bring a flood of passengers.
Now, with the automobile habit firmly
established, it remains to be seen
whether heavy slashes in cost will
bring the varnished cars and the rail
.vacations back into their old time
popularity. .
Almost anyone can tell the other
fellow how to run his business, and th
railroad have been given more free
advice than any other industry. It
hasn't done them much good, or much
harm, because they have neither con
sidered nor accepted it. This is their
privilege, of course, but even on a
short flivver trip over a national high
way, the average man can see that t
the automobile tourist habit has hit
the railroads a tremendous jolt. For a
party of two, paying hotel bills and
buying meals along the route, the auto
trip costs about half the price of a
rail vacation. For cars equipped to
camp, the auto route is much less ex
pensive. This is fairly early in the season,
and yet, on a hundred mile strip of the
Lincoln highway, over fifty tourist
cars, containing, on an average, four
people to the car, were counted last
week. Multiply this hundred mile
ftrip by the number of such strips on
the various national highways, and you
can get tome idea of the extent of
travel. Filling stations say that they
have to keep open until an hour or two
after midnight to take care of the
trade that comes to them. Any night,
in Kearney, the streets are difficult to
navigate because of congestion. Lit-

So They May Live Happily
MAN, truly, is careless, almost selfish, if he fails to
provide for the future happiness of his loved ones
in the event sickness, accident, unemployment or death
overtakes him.
The devoted, indulgent father and husband takes pride
in seeing his family contented during his lifetime and
makes provisions for their future should exigencies in
tervene. Just a small allotment of one's regular income will make
things safe and secure for those whom he supports.
Don't neglect it don't put it off until tomorrow for to
morrow may be too late. We believe you will be inter
ested in our plan.
Afany rate do your family the justice to call and inves
tigate how easy our saving plan can be put into effect.
