In common with everyone else in Sioux county, Mr. Cook has been a homesteader, and his "Kinkaiding"' venture was very similar to any other, Ledger says It seems that Crawford and Scotts bluff and Hayard are live towns. They plan a road to connect the Lincoln highway with the Black Hills and it passes through the west part of our county twelve miles west of Hemingford. What we have wanted is an outlet but his homestead has a point of in-1 to the Lincoln highway and this route terest which distinguishes it from the rest The feature of this particular "claim" is a pair of small bills abso lutely unique in their contents. Soon after Captain Cook acquired the ranch he discovered that these hills contained the bones of widely divergent types of mammals which existed on these plains thousands of years ago. These fossil bones are found about 100 feet below the surface and are so inter will give us such an outlet and through a country much better adapted to the building of a permanent highway than any proposed route through Alliance. It looks now like we will get our outlet to the south this summer and no doubt the effect on Alliance will be good, and we may get both outlets. Of course Hemingford will not be on either the Black Hills highway or the "county seat to county seat" highway laced that it is a slow and difficult' but it will only be twelve miles out of procedure to dig them out of the hard, the way east or the same distance west white rock in which they are im bedded. From early childhood these hills and these prehistoric contents greatly in terested Harold Cook and the bones he picked up then formed the basis of a large and exceedingly valuable collec tion which he has in his possession. Find Giant Hog. Mr. Cook has donated material from these beds to various scientific institu tions and even invited several of the foremost to avail themselves of the opportunity of collecting fossil remains j which can be found nowhere else in the world. The museum of the Uni versity of Nebraska had collecting parties working on one of the hills for several seasons, rne American mu seum of National History of New York.had members of its staff at work there every summer for more than ten years. The Yale university museum and the Carnegie museum of Pitts burgh have also secured irom its siot much material of scientific in terest. In none but a scientist could be found such generosity as Mr. Look has displayed in inviting fellow scien tists to profit by his possession of so rich a "mire." known ns the "Agate Spring Fossil Quarry." In other hands it mifht have remained entirely un developed or else been exploited as a t to reach a connection leading to the Lincoln highway. And as we were never ambitious to be on either of these highways Hemingford can re joice that the connection south seems nearer than ever before. The connecting link between these roads is almost sure to pass through here and with our county commission ers adhering to their program to give the producing farmers good roads to Hemingford. the tourists can use these roads and readily go from one to the other. Some threats by Alliance irrecon cilables that the Potash highway will be diverted north to Chadron instead of to Hemingford, Crawford, etc., are not to be taken seriously though the matter is of sufficient importance to be borne in mind by our boosters The road work was directed mys teriously once It appears by the sworn testimony of the Alliance boosters that it was without the knowledge of Alliance "nwevpr, the Crcdron road was built first, breaking all agreements and noiicies unmoved by our commission ers and at the various roail meetings. The Potash highway, which was to be built first, will surely be built second and we ought not to have to woiry about mat. Anvwav. it ooks like there was Monday.

HE WON A young but exceptionally brilliant professor in a we.-tern college was dis missed from the facu'ty borause of his inordinate betting. Trie president, in teietrd in his career, seemed hi;n a Misit'on in an ea.-tern coileire.

Dove1 "eiwng win i;e a L'cueiii 10 sotie- The professor went e:ist, and was cordially received. Conversation had proceeded but a few moinnets when he said to the president, "I'll bet you seventy five dollars you .have a wart between your shoulder blades." The president hestitated. "Young man," he said, "I never bet; but just to teach you a lesson I will take you up." He thereupon proved to the young man's satisfaction that he was in error und the professor paid the seventy five. The president wrote west relat'ng the incident, concluding "I hope that I have cured him." The other wrote back: "I fear tho case is hopeless. The very day he left here he let me one hundred dollars that he could make you take off jour shirt" Judge. HERALD WANT ADS RESULTS. SI' FFK'i ENT EXCI SE.

Mr. Nolan plans to go on his farm twelve miles west of Alliance, which he states will be one of the mo. t modi ern places in the next few years that Box Butte county can boast. devoted to the making of "prehistoric history." Among the fossil forms of life found there are a giant hog known as Dirohyus, several types of rhi noceros, an odd anomaly, the Mor cpus, which is somewhat like a horse, and a tapir, at the same time, the fo'iv-hrvvned nnte'oe nnl giant dogs.

Is feminism going the way of less idealistic movements? Miss Mary Garrett Hay, in an address at Baltimore urging the greater ef ficiency of women in government, said: "We want them to hold morej offices. There should be many more, women legislators and women in con- press. Women should have exiual part , with men on party committees. ; No doubt it was bound tacome. But are these aspirations, in the last anal ysis, materially different from the aspirations of Tammany or of the Philadelphia Republican machine?; They too want more of their repre sentatives in office in order to give the organization greater efficiency in government They too regard the number of representatives serving them in legislature and in congress a'id on party committees as the mea-1 sure of their political efficiency. Ideals may differ but practical poli tics is practical politics whether in women's leecues or in party organi zations. Will it be a wise policy for the 1 eague of Women Voters to de scend to the level of spoils-hunting? If it is to obtain more offices for women it must resort to methods by which organizations of male voters obtain offices. It must strain, if it does not sacrifice, its ideals of public service. Are the offices worth the cost? The early worm gets the fishhook. Newspaper Enterprise Association. j As many say it, "Get thee behind me, Satan" is simply an invitation to W. N.
