Worth Every Effort
Tio McCook Commercial club held
a special meeting Tuesday evening
to consider and discuss the matter
of assisting in pushing the proposi
tion of increasing the acreage of
sugar beets to be planted in this
vicinity next season
Discussion disclosed the existence
of a unanimous sentiment favoring
such action among the members
and that the feeling was undivided
that the growing of sugar beets is an
agricultural enterprise profitable and
peculiarly adapted to this section
and should be encouraged by all
means
The proposition and contract of
the Great Western Sugar Co of Den
ver were also discusseed and it was
the opinion that they offer a fair
price generous treatment and a re
liable guarantee of monthly payment
in McCook of beets sold and deliv
ered to them
Io encourage this enterprise the
club authorized the appointment of
a committee Messrs C B Gray P
Walsh and D C Marsh and these
gentlemen will at once take this im
portant project in hand and will try
to interest sugar beet growers in
this section in the growing of beets
next year for the Denver company
which by the way is one of the
greatest sugar concerns in the world
Practical growing has proven
doubt that sugar beets are
profitable and a successful crop in
this vicinity There is nothing ex
perimental or doubtful about it and
the Great Western people assure the
growers every assistance and con
venience possible They will guaran
tee labor provide dumps at conven
ient points pay a flat rate of 5 per
ton for beets payments to be made
monthly in McCook on the 15th of
each month They also provide seed
at a rate reduced considerably over
past years taking payment out of
first shipmnet of beets
The Tribune believes this to be a
project which should engage the will
ing and intelligent assistance of bus
iness men and farmers It ought not
to be a dfificult matter to secure a
thousand acres or more in contracts
for next seasons planting The en
terprise is worthy a most determin
ed effort The commercial club Is
leading in the endeavor Let us
help what we can
The Tribune makes an appeal for
such an observance of the Sunday
closing law in this city as will make
it less difficult to the average citi
zen or visitor to distinguish that day
from the regular week days There
are Sundays when the business ac
tivities on some of our streets al
most entirely obscure the day Work
and business should at least be sus
pended if for no better reason than
that q rest and recuperation and
leaving out of the consideration the
difficult question of sports and
amusements
Men
When you meet with men of worth
think how you may attain to their
level when you see others of an op
posite character look within and ex
amine yourself Confucius
lil i i wruU
Nebraska
That was a wise and far seeing cit
izen of the world who once upon a
time advised his neighbors and
friends that it was better to hear the
ills you have for a season than to
blindly flee to others you know not
of
Every day lends evidence to the
fact that has been clear in the minds
of those Nebraskans who are not of
the rolling stone sort that too many
thoughtless farmers laboring men
and in some instances even investors
are foolishly sacrificing their lands
and chattels here for an unknown
hereafter amid conditions and circum
stances elcewhere of which they have
small knowledge or information
Lurid advertising matter and glib
tongued agents are leading Nebras
kans from their homes and to certain
loss and dissatisfaction Irrigation
projects in this distant state town
lot propositions in that remote state
all of them of the get-rich-quick sort
are doing their deceptive work among
us and deserving men who would in
a few years be reasonably indepen
dent by remaining in Nebraska are
the losers in money and in time
Nature fortunately has not locat
ed all of her attractions and riches
of resources in any one locality but
The Tribune makes bold to claim
that in few places has she placed
better climate more productive soil
superior conditions for stock raising
and farming than right here in Ne
