Dox Butte eounty has n splendid opportunity at this time to show its agricultural progress and its possi bilities and it is our chance to do some first hand advertising by show ing these, men the farming seetions Of Hox Bntte county. If Alliance will so arrange the program that those; Interested can be met at a certain! hour with autoes furnished by our! fanners and townspeople, and bro't up here so they may see our develop ment, our spud cellars, our big barns. new farm houses, silos, city Improve incuts and general prosperity, they will take back a story to their east ern friends that no amount of adver tising would equal. It is likely that this can be arrang ed and is of benefit to the entire coun ty. The potash plants are of inter est and should be shown these dele gates but the profit thereof are for but a few and is a matter of curios ity only and onemust have a technical education to appreciate the develop ment there. Hox Hutte countv ag riculturally is something all the del egates will understand,, nnd if they come here if only for two hours and visit only one or two of our up-t-date farms they will have an impnssin or Hox Butte that they cannot re ceive by going to Alliance only. Let the Ledger readers determine they do their part and you feel that these 300 or more men should see Box Butte county as its best please state to C. VV. Sharp Secretary that your car can be depended upon on that date (about May 25) to help trans port these delegates, if the matter of the trip can be arranged. Supper will be served In Hemingford proba bly which will be free to visitors and men furnishing cars. Volunteer your car as it is directly to your interest to open the yes of eastern friends to the fact that there is an agricultural garden spot west of the sandhills and that western Nebraska extends sonv 200 miles beyond Broken Bow and Kearney which they are in the habit of calling "Western Nebraska." It is needless to call our farmers' attention to the importance of this matter, especially this season when seed potatoes are costly and the need or a success in potato growing id a national importance. All are urged to avail themselves of this opportun ity to secure competent advice.

The boy assumed that he was 1 dead and came home and reported the same to the neighbors. Some of the same wont over to the house. while another went after a coffin, and I when the casket arrived the supposed corpse was walking around in a pretty lively manner.
