In order to introduce this flour into every household in North Platte and Lincoln county we have decided, commencing Saturday morning, August 28th, to offer as
an inducement a special low price on same retail at less than wholesale price, so that every family rich or poor, big or little can afford to try a sack of this flour and be one

It will be with considerable pleasure
that tho telephone patrons, and tho peo
ple In general of North Platto nnd vi
cinity, will receive tho news that the
North PInlto Telephone company havo
placed nn order for additional central
cflico equipment.

within sixty days und tho officers of
tho "company" linovv that by tho aid of
this additional apparatus that they wilt
bo in a position to render better ser
vice than thoy havo been ublo to givo
heretofore
Mr. Warnor advises us tiiat tho con
tract for this equipment, which is in
tho nature of a two position toll and
farmer lino switchboard, was placed
with tho Western Electric Company
through their representative Mr. C.
R. Bnldwin, nnd thnt it covers the
mosc improved and up-to-dato toll lino

In connection with this improvement
it is Interesting to noto tho rapid
growth of tho telephone industry in tho
vicinity of North Platto. Twelvo years
ago there was no exchange in oper
ation at this point nnd the means of
communication with other towns was
by tho aid "of telegraph nnd Unitod
States mail only. Today the local tel
ephone company not only has in the
neighborhood of one thousand phonos
connected to its local exchange, but
have a net work of wires extending to.

ty and mnintnin toll lines to tho Bur

increased to such an extent as to war
rant tho company in fooling that tho
business can bo handled and tho aor
vico improved more efficiently by ter
minating these lines on central offico
equipment ospcclnlly arranged for this
purpose, therefore thoy are placing
improved apparatus at tho oxponse of
approximately $1,600.00.
Tho telephone company and ito offi
cers aro to bo commended for the en
terprise thoy havo shown in building
up n system of tho mugnjtudo of the
North Platto Telephone Company and
thoir readiness to place in service ap
paratus of the character mentioned to

If all children wre mild and peaceful, if they didn't
jump or run, if they spent their time in reading,
quiet walks and gentle fun, there would be no need
of iron clad shoes to stand hard knocks at play,
but as long as "kids" are "kids," we think were
v
Jji plenty safe to say that children's shoes, to give sat
