It appears that the last two sug gestions for the improvement of Box Butte county are going to be difficult to carry out. The revival of the jscheme for an irrigation ditch from the Nlbrara brings forth protests from men owning water rights along that strram, who say that every single cubic foot of water has been appropriated for twenty years under state irrigation laws. There Is a silver lining to the cloud, however, for the water Is not used from No vember 1 to April 1, and If some scheme could be devlsod to utilize the flow during this period, the plan In vpt fpnulhlf. An for the nrononpd pipe line, objectors call attention to the Wyoming laws which provide that not a single gallon of oil may be taken from the state before it Is re fined, the idea being to build up the BtAtp'd reflnerlcii.

Seventeen hundred members of the Woman's club, in an effort to bring down the high cost of living, are getting along without the fruit of the hen.

Local weather prophets have a good deal to say about the brand of weather Alliance has been receiving during the month of December. They point out that in ordinary years, De cember is one of the mild months, and those who can remember back for years and years insist that there has been enough cold weather this month to make an average Box Butte county winter. Cold weather records have been broken all over the west. The coldest temperature recorded during the recent storm was at Butte, Mont., where the mercury dropped to 60 degrees below rero, the lowest point since 1889.

Emma Goldmann has abandoned her Bupreme court fight to prevent her deportation to Russia with some eighty other radicals, and, after the usual fireworks will leave the coun try. Sooner or late, other trouble some characters will be disposed of in the same way. Rather odd. isn't it, that those who are working against the established forms of gov ernment should be so prompt to in sist on protection in their constitu tional right of free speech? i i I i J i i 3 The constitutional convention has not yet got down to the actual busi ness of drawing up a new constitu tion. At present the. delegates are engaged in presenting resolutions embodying their ideas or the Weas of their constituents at the rate of about twenty-five a day, and the time Is largely taken up with the usual squabbles over appointments and salaries of employes. A number of the proposed changes deal with the makeup of the supreme court and the legislature, each member seemingly having a different 1 'ea as to the best way to go about it. One thing is noticeable, and that is that there are fewer freak measures introduced than appear at the average legisla tive session, which is indicative of the fact that the personnel of the convention is of a higher grade than the usual legislative lineup. s Si'fln1 ai l0t f yuUr Christmas problems?

The various clubs and the amounts follow 50 Weeks With Deposits in Multiples 50 Weeks With the present shortage of coal it is necessary to use wood wherever possible for heatlne nur- poses. In the national forest in the Black Hills of South Dakota there is considerable dead wood which makes excellent fuel. This wood, Is located comparatively convenient to the railroad, there being a large amount still available within from one to four miles from a siding. When the demand by a community Is urgent it might be necessary that they arrange to do their own cut ting, since practically all available labor is now being used for this pur pose, and is insufficient to supply the demand. The supply of wood, how ever, is ample to relieve the fuel sit uation within any reasonable dis tance of the forests. Detailed infor mation regarding areas where wood may be obtained, and the conditions under which its removal is permit ted, may be obtained from the For est Supervisor. Custer. S.
