From Friday's Daily
This morning rode

and find it passable all the
way. II seems that some of the com
plaints turned in proved to be in
some cases on the bottom road which
is closed to traffic at the prest xt. Also
one complaint of ten cars bein stuck,
rather doubtful. After a trip over
this road tliis morning with Mr.
Douglas, we are convinced the con
dition of same has been badly ex
aggerated, and that with use of skids
a good many of these complaints
could be eliminated. This road is a
Lard nut to crack at present, being
a new fill and Douglas is deserving
of great credit for the efforts being
made to keep it open, maintainors at
work this morning.
Have you called on the Morrow
hatchery? That incubator, with its
automatic reversing of e?rrs: blow
ers for ventilation; automatic tem
perature regulator is a wonderfully
interesting mechanism. If you have
not dropped in to look over this plant
it will reward you to do so.
Also stopt in to see the new Chick
Cafe on Cth St. It is a modern up-to-date
place of business and a credit
to our city. Call and see for your
self. These business places that are
expanding, and improving need to be
given the "glad hand."
If this summer weather continues,
we can advertise Piattsmouth as a
winter resort. Let's take a dip In
the rolling Missouri, open up cot
tages on the bluff and get ready for
a winter tourist business. Anyway,
our bluffs and river make this an
ideal location lor a summer resort
for tired folk from the big hot cities
in the summer.
If you get stuck in the mud, we're
glad "to hear of it, and we believe
our state department is glad to hear
of it, to remedy conditions. However
"somebody said" won't go it's got
to be definite information, as that
is the only kind that will help the
situation. If you have definite infor
mation of being stuck in- the road,
come in and tell us about it. The
roads are one of the things this or
ganization is virtually interested in.
We want your co-operation.
Notice the Louisville Courier is
putting out some fine information of
road affairs. Tell Mr. Mayfield we
are with him for the graveling of
our back-state hi-ways is a most nec
essary thing for the continued pros
perity and development of Cass coun
ty. Mr. Shriff and s&n from Chicago
stopped in to get acquainted. Showed
them around the city, and you never
sew two rrn-n more impressed with
a place than they are with Piatts
mouth. We'll surely get some good
advertising in the windy city from
those two gentlemen.
When Armour employed a man.
he expected him to be a loyal part of
the company. In other words, the
good of the company hns preference
at all times over personal feelings:
a man assumes the mistakes, clearr
the company, and in this way close
harmonious co-operation is assured.
In assuming the responsibility for an
erroneous report, on the Omaha road,
we are practically demonstrating this
same principle in Piattsmouth. Our
citizens, can do this in many ways,
by always sacrificing personal griev
ances, in the erood of the city. It's a
fine thine once a fellow takes the j
step. Keeps the atmosphere clarified,
brings harmony, and a closer unifica
tion of interests.
The poorest kind of a "sporl" 1
the man who can't sacrifice his "dig
nity" enough to back down once in

scrap with the wifey, is the joy of
making up.
Henry Ford states. "No one is real
lv educated unless the hand is a fac
tor in that education." In other
words, acutal "contact" by the hand
co-operating with the brain and eye,
is the best source of education. Here,
bv nutting the hand actually, and en
ergetically at work, in our civic af-i
fairs, will boom our affairs. It does ,
no good to "read," "think" and;
"study" unless it results in the action ;
of the hand in a practical demonstra-'
tion of what the eye, the ear, and
the mind have collected. Let's use,
our hands today! !

B. L. Kirkham of Belle Fonrche.

Take a Eest.
After forty years In the newepaper
business, twenty-four of which have
been spent as proprietor of the North
west Post in Belle Fourche, Kditor B.
L. Kirkham has decided to desert the
good ship and retire to some occupa
tion that is less strenuous- He hap
sold his paper to L. A. Gleyre, who
takes possession Saturday morning of
this week.
Mr. and Mrs. Kirkham will remain
in Belle Fourche until about January
en they will go to St. Paul,
to visit the families of their
daughters. Mrs. E. A. Holly and chll-
drtn and Mrs. R. R. Suess. They will
' then go to their old home at Piatu-
mourn, xeDr., ior a visit, auu men
head toward California, going by the
southern route, this being a belated
wedding trip, as Mr. Kirkham states
he has been too busy during the thirty
or more years of his married life to
take such a trip. They will visit most
of the towns along the Pacific coast
through California, Oregon and Wash
ington. If they find a location that
appeals to them they may decide to
locate permanently on the coast, but
at any rate, they expect to come back
about May 1. If they find the loca
tion they like, they will then dis
pose of their home here.
B. I- Kirkham and R. O. Fellows
came to Belle Fourche in September,
1902, bringing with them equipment
for establishing a newspaper and
started the Northwest Post, the offical
organ of the democratic party. They
continued in partnership until 1917,
when Mr. Fellows was appointed post
master, and disposed of his interest to
Mr. Kirkham. Since that time Mr.
Kirkham has been proprietor of that
paper. He is a newspaper man and
printer of ability, and a competitor
with whom it has been a pleasure to
associate. Broad-minded, liberal In
views, courteous, and every inch a
gentleman, tells part of the story of
Bart Kirkham. and while we dislike
to see him leave Belle Fourche, we
wish him health, wealth and happi
ness wherever he may decide to cast
his lot.
Mr. Gleyre, the new proprietor, first
came to Belle Fourche in 1914. to ac
cept a position with the Bee. He was
with us with the exception of one
year until last fall when he resigned
to accept a position on the weekly
Journal at Sheridan. Mr. Gleyre has
had a wide experience in the news-
paper business, having acted as re-
porter for papers in Colorado, Cali-
fornia, and for a year or more was a
reporter for Manila. P. I., Times, be-
ing located on one of the Emaller
