TELEPHONE COURTESY
In telephone affairs as in every other business the person
al element must be considered You are human and the per
son with whom you talk as well as the operator who connects
you are human
The hastily spoken word and its inflection no matter what
its provocation conveys an undesirable impression Courteous
talk over the telephone is like oil on machinery it prevents
friction and pays big returns
Our operators are required lo be brief but polite under all
curcumstances They are instructed not to answer complaints
or carry on any conversation Their whole time is taken up
executing orders for connections
In dealing with you we try to be forbearing considerate and
courteous realizing that the wires between us takes none
of the sting out of unkind words Our operators try to treat
you as they would face to face wont you afford them and the
persons with whom you talk the same consideration

THE McCOOK TRIBUNE
McCook Greets Board
The large attendance made it nec
essary to adjourn the post prandial
features to the rooms of the McCook
commercial club after the indulgence
in a little jolly and a tribute to the
ladies by the toastmaster Mr A Bar
nett
Assembling in the club rooms the
toastmaster introduced the chair
man of the publicity committee who
presented the following statement of
the claims and advantages of Mc
Cook for the location for the Ne
braska School of Agriculture
McCOOKS EARNEST PLEA
Gentlemen of the Board of Public
Lands and Buildings
I am delegated by the people of
McCook to briefly and precisely pre
sent you some of the arguments and
advantages of McCook as the location
for the Nebraska School of Agricul
ture recently provided and appropri
ated for by the last session of the
legislature of our state
I shall not attempt to approach the
subject with excellency of speech
the money of the people of the state
for the establishment of an agricul
tural school in Southwestern Nebras
ka
1 shall take it for granted it was
their high and worthy aim to thus
give the states aid to a worthy por
tion of the commonwealth to assist
in its development by scientific ag
liculture teaching and experimenta
tion thus to afford Southwestern Ne
braska surer quicker and less expen
sive solution of its problems of culti
vating a soil itself distinct in char
actc r from other sections of the
sate and subject to different rainfall
and topographic conditions
With this reasonable and warrant-
and are withal more easily at present
tributary to the North Platte Experi
mental station
Mascot hill region or very close to
ture herself has here fixed an arbi
tary limit
MoCook is the logical center of soil
conditions typical of this entire dis
trict west of Mascot
AS TO RAINFALL
West of Mascot hill we not only
have distinct soil conditions from the
level and ample plateau to the east
but the rainfall is also much scantier
according to the state records Even
the superficial traveler on the rapid
ly passing railroad train notes this
fact McCook is centrally located in
this similar rainfall area also
TOPOGRAPHY
After leaving the broad and fertile
plateau of loess at Mascot hill we
not only enter another soil and rain
fall area but topographic conditions
noticeably change to a more brok
en and rolling country the character
istic Southwestern Nebraska with a
rich and fertile sandy loam soil yet

STOCK RAISING
The Eastman bill specifically feat
ures stock raising as one of the pur
poses of this school In both thor
oughbred and range stock raising Mc
Cook is most fortunately situated
Some of the best thoroughbred herds
in the west are within easy distance
as well as some of the largest ranch
es in the state McJCook is and has
for years been preeminently a great
stock raising center
DRY FARMING AND IRRIGATION
While presumably dry farming will
be the chief concern of the author
ized agricultural school for South
western Nebraska and while in
this the school will be of the greatest
benefit to the greatest number yet
McCook is again fortunate in being
situated in a part of the district
where irrigation is available where
this form of intensive agriculture is
now being practically developed In
this respect the benefit would be mu
tual and real In view too of the
vast irrigation project now being pro-
but 1 assure you with all earnestness raoted in Eastern Hitchcock and
of conviction and sincerity of purpose Western Red Willow counties the
At the outstart I shall assume I field and opportunities of such a
I lib k fairly that the legislature of scilool woul1 herc be immensely en
Nebraska knew what it intended to iarged
do whpn it appropriated 100000 of
SUGAR BEET CULTURE
The production of sugar beets is
admittedly destined to become one of
the greatest agricultural factors in
Southwestern Nebraska It has reach
ed its largest development in the
neighborhood of McCook which was
largely instrumental in interesting
beet sugar people in this part of the
state in this enterprise and which can
always be relied upon to boost this
proposition in the development of the
resources of this part of Nebraska

Naturally in order we first consult
the map and fix in our minds what is
geographically embraced within the
limits established by the Eastman bill
west of longitude 99 and south of
the 4th standard parallel north
The map in our presence completes
to the eye what the language of the
bill in this essential conveys to the
nvnd and this brings us easily to thg
point of logical location and by log-
ters from which are operated a thou- writing He just returned from the
sand miles of the Great Burlington
System So McCooks railroad facili
ties and advantages are par excel
lence The possibility too that this
school would be located near McCook
has aroused a lively interest among
railroad employes all over this por
oi cf Nebraska Many of these rail
road men are interested in the back-to-the-soil
movement and believe that
such a school would naturally equip

I believe this board is narrow enough
to be swerved from its duty by slan

to make clear how we feel on this
unfair assault made against this city
by those who would do well to sweep
cleanly before their own doors
McCook is neither better nor worse
than its neighbors We have church
