Dated Octobor 11th. 1913. (Seal) o 11-3 Joiiw Giuot, County Judco- Hershey Institute Proves Big Success Tho Tribune man.nlong with a riumber of other North Platte people, attended tho Hershey Institute Friday and he felt well repaid for tho trip. While the short course program had closed the previous veninor, v had nn op portunity to witness the flag raising and view the exhibits,., both of which were interesting. At three o'clock a crowd of several hundred assembled in front of the large and splendid school building a building of which Hershey may, nnd no doubt does, 'feel protid--where an address was delivered by Judge Grimes. Thi3 wns followed by the presentation of the flag from the North Platte Elks to the Hershey school, E. II. Evans making the pre sentation specch"7-nd Dorsey Leypoldt the speech of acceptance. Tho flag was then unfurled, appropriate selec tions being rendered by the school chil dren nnd by the North Platte military band. The exhibits were displayed in the basement of tho school building and consisted cf grains, grasses, fruits, domestic science nnd very creditable specimens of school work from the Hershey, O'Fallon and Nichols schools. The agricultural exhibit was especially fine, nnd certainly showed up the re sources of the country to splendid ad vantage. There was also s nice dis play of fancy work by the ladies. The stock display was large and in cluded many fine animals, the gentle men from the cast part of the state who acted as judge saying that ho never tied ribbons on animals where so great a percentage ranged so high in quality. During tho afternoon there was a parade of the horses, mules and jacks. From those who daily attended the short course week we learn that it was a pronounced success in every way, the speakers assigned for the various sub jects being particularly good. President Koch and Secretary Thomp son who worked so earnestly for the success of tho institute, and also those who assisted them, certainly deserve great credit for the success of the short course week,-nnd in hustling the exhibits displayed the boosting spirit in pi commendable degree. In fact that Heishoy should be nbleto get up such an affair is creditable to the town and country contiguous. The Tribune is proud that Hershey and the Hershey section is part of Lincoln county; nnd it ever stands ready to help thurn boost anything they propose, feeling con fident that their demands will never be unfair to other portions of the county. Great Day at Christian Church. Tho interest and attendance at the evangelistic meetings has been gen erally increasing and Sunday leached its height. Tho bible school hour was given over to a rally when Mr. Whistoii gave his address "The Voyage of Life." x He showed the great, danger of drifting aimlessly through life with out a purpose. Christ is tho groat Captain who 'can guide to safety .our ship of life If wo but choose 11 im as our pilot. There were 2S." present at bible school and twelve wei e added to the church from the bible school at close ofiajly. At morning church hour Mr. Whiston spoke on "Tho Old Love," based on tho Book of Revelation. (Mr. Whiston showed that the true' christian or christian minister must be sound in doctrine, in moral conduct, and in service to the world, but if having all tbee tho old love, or first love that one has for Christ and his cause at their conver sion has died out they are getting away from Christ's spirit and loving favor. It is not so much our gifts as It is ourselves, our llve's that Christ wants. At the evening service the church was packed, only standing room being left. Mr. Knowles sang a beautiful solo after which Mr. Whiston preached his sermon "Knocking Away the Props." Mr. Whiston took up carefully tho different excuses men give for not being christians and cleared up each one. He showed that man is not simply a creature of circumstance and environment but that he would bo to a great extent what he deter mined to bo regardless of circum stances. Some people say to educate In order to uplift, but the educated criminal Is the most dangerous. In tellectualism is not Christianity, as some Intellectual giants such as Edgar Allen Poe and Lord Byron were the vilest of moral degenerates. Morality alone cannot save a man, for Christianity Involves morality but morality does not Involve Christianity. Some peoplo say they won't be christians, because they are afraid they can't hold out. Mr. Whiston showed that If a life Is honestly sur rendered to Christ and we live each day as it comes that we will be strenthened and upheld In overcom ing temptation. Then a man must keep away from all temptation. If he makes a mistake and falls get up and tr, It oer and not give up be cause uf one plight failure. Bolng a crtrlstlan, lsnot n'lnattor of feeling llko It. Obedience to Christ comes first ahd then the fooling will conic. Thore were ton Added to tljo two church services, making a total of twojity-two on Sunday. Total num ber to date Is sixty-four. Tho subject for Tuosday nlghl is Drifting;" Wednesday night Mr. Whiston will give his special lecture senium on popular amusements en titled ' "Tho Drama of Life," Thurs day night "The Good Samaritan and Others.'' There will he illustrated songs ev ery night and Illustrated scripture part of tho time. A question box Is conducted by Mr. Whiston where any question you may wish cleared up may be placed. Everyone invited and bring nil your friends and the strangers that are In town.

Since the public's attention has been called to the fact that it takes 3,000 worth of re pairs to keep some cars running it simply emphasizes how wonderfully economical the Buick lino really is. We carry less than $50 worth of repairs. The fact thnt one make of car sells faster in St. Louis than some other make docs'not mean anything. Everybody knows that cheaper things sell in bulk. We will have all model Bnicks on display this week excepting the six cylinder B55. Ev ery car we sell has an electric self-starter, all metal parts nickle finish. (NO BRASS) J. S. DAVIS AUTO CO.
