To be the First to Wear the New
Fashions Confers a Social Distinction
IN every community there are women of taste and refinement who
are leaders of style, upon whom other women rely for the fixing of
fashions. In catering td the requirements of these women who
enjoy possessing the new garments at the earliest moment possible,
we nave planned this advance spring showing of smartly tailored
Wooitex Coats and Suits
presenting a wonderfully attractive collection of distinctly new
garments; correct in style, refined in character, beautifully made of
the most fashionable materials of the new season.
Now is the Best Time to Wear and Enjoy Them
The jackets of the new suits vary in length, some being even alt
around, some short in front, longer at the sides and still longer in the
back. Some arc form-fittingj' some have straight lines to the waist
with the graceful rippling flare below. The military motif is one of
the influences of the new season.
Many of the coats arc braided and trimmed with buttons In distinctly
original effects. In every coat and suit the collar plays a most important part,
supplying one of the main features of the style of the garment. The rolling
military effect is most widely seen. Practically all of the coats have detachable
over-collars of pique or silk.
The picture ohows one of the charming new Wooltcx coats. While the back
is plain, the front shows a partial yoke effect. The rolling collar may be worn
opened or closed. On some coats in this style, collar is piped with striped clotlu
The godet under the arm, below the waist-line, produces a wonderfully smart
wing-like flare which seems to spring out on each side of the coat. The coat is
40 inches long and is full-lined with pcau de cygnc. Price $18.50.
It is a particularly handsome model for large women. There are many other
equally attractive models at the same popular price, $18.50.
Other Wooltcx coats at $16.50 and $20.
Wooltcx suits at $25, $30 and $35.
If you have not yet seen the new collection, we cordially invite you to

.tho bid of tho Canton company Is tho
lowest and best.

Nols Dnrling, lecturer, town export
anu community uuinier arm ono o: the
most entertaining speakers North
Platto lias ever heard, more than
pleased a largo audience at tho Keith
theatre Wednesday ovenlng. Ho also
delivered an address beforo a gather
ing "of- business men at tho llbrnry
building In tho afternoon, and at.G:30
spoke to a delegation of business men
from Gothenburg who aro planning
mo lonnation or a community emu.
Darling is a lluont talker, an actor,'
and his messngo to bin audience Is
cleverly told. He makes statements j
that have a sting, but the thrusts aro
taken cheerfully by thoco whom thoy
affect. In his sharp polntob Bhafts
ho spares neither saloon or church,
schools or civic pride; ho is a" critic
of each and all and his criticisms are
at. limes so severe as to cringo
his hearer. Ills lecture lu made up
for all sections of the country, and
somo of his suggestions may therefore
bo impractical to some localities, but
on the whole he advised many
things that North Platto could with
profit ndopt.
Tho criticism or objection Tho Trl
buno makes to Mr. Darling was the,
overdrawn statement ho mado con
corning the morality of North Platto.
Wo question whether "ho met four or
flVo drunken men on the streets, saw
crowds of boys standing" on tho street
corners cursing and swenrlng," or that
ho "passed women who made eyes at
him." Ho drew on his Imagination
when ho mado theso statements, sup
posing that what was truo In certain
towns would apply to North Platto

North Platto Lokch Debate.
Tho North Platto high Bchool team
lost fho decision in the dobato with
tho Kearney high school team at tho
latter placo Tuesday evening. The
question of tho evening was: Resolved,
That tho United States should adopt
government ownership and operation
of railroads. Tho North Platto team,
composed of Katherlno Johnson, Major
White and George Thompson, took the
negative sldo of tho question, and In
tho decision of the Judges the voto
Btood two for Kearney and one for
North Platte.
Tho North Platto team In the pre
sentation of its arguments proved su
perior to their opponents, Major White
appearing especlallylBtrong, but when
It came to rebuttal they wero not as
strong as their opponents and this
weakened their caso. The team was
highly complimented by tho audience
on tho efforts mado, and yesterday a
icuer was received rrom Kearney
from a well-known educator bearing
additional compliments on tho splen
did arguments thoy had made.
Though falling to secure tho decision,
we havo reason to feel proud of tho
showing mado by tho North Platto
team.
Tho quarantine for small pox was
lifted from tho Cross homo this week.
