Platte Valley State Bank, "Absolute Protection for Depositors Under Nebraska State Guaranty Low" Tortb Piaffe Nebraska. The newly elected officers and direc tors of the Chanfbcr of Commerce held their first session at the, library building Wednesday evening, a half dozen or moro business men meeting with them Tho first business transacted was the appointment of an auxiliary board of five members, composed of country residents, which was authorized by a resolution made and carried at the recent annual meeting. The men se lected for these auxiliary directors were Scott Reynolds, J. C. Wilson, J. W. Fowler, D B. McNeel and Fred Kuser, all residing In sections of the county directly tributary to North Platte. Following these appointments there was a lengthy discussion of local busi ness conditions, tho need of more hearty co-operation of merchant and property-holder and resident, and a general condemnation of tho use of contests of various natures which are presumed to boost business but which In truth are a detriment to general trade conditions. Road conditions wero also discussed, as were also plans for getting more people Into the section contiguous to North Platte. The pub licity fund and organization dues were considered, and tho general feeling of tho directors as well as others present was that the Chamber of Commerce should employ a secretary who will give his entire time to the organiza tion and that the funds of the organ ization should be swelled so as to per mit a salary of $100 or $125 per month for the secretary. Two or three np plications for tho secretaryship had been presented, but tho board thought best to postpone an election of sec retary until tho next meeting. In tho meantime if there are others in town who care to apply for the position, tho board will be glad to consider their application. Tho secretary will need be a "live wire," and his duties as generally outlined will keep him on the jump eight or nino hours a day every working day in tho month, and he cannot have side lines to occupy his time. The board accepted the proposition of the Lincoln Highway management to feature North Platte in the motion picture film which will include views of the highway from New York to San Francisco. The charge for fca hiring the city will be $75. The pic tures will be exhibited in Nortli Platte and the net receipts will bo turned back t6 the Chamber' of Commerce, Senior Class I'lny .The Senior Class of the high school is to present their annual class play on Friday, May 21st, at the Keith They have chosen Edward E.

"Peaceful Vallc' Ha' an ibyl of tho heart with three "Chtfrmlng love stor les twined about' it, and throbs with humanity, bubbles-with fun and thrills with pathos. The ''human touches" that round out tho history of the brave, awkward, tender-hearted young fel low who waited on the table of a sum mer hotel to earn tho money to send him through college, his love for his mother, "who has tho wholo of Peace ful Valley on her mind," his adoration for the daughteh of tho New York mil lonalre, his Hashes of awkward' wit, his righteous wrath against the wrong doors, all make up a complex and mar velous character. Ten other quaint, hateful or lovable people arc in the play; comic, serious, detestable, pltl- ble, and fine. There aro over two hours of intense enjoyment and the play is clean and uplifting.

When Old foldter awakened In tho morning ho found that Smith had lied, and upon investigation found thnt ho was minus his pocket-book containing fif ty dollars, his check book and his shoes, the latter having evidently been taken by mistake.

However, Mr. LeMaster loaned him a pair of slippers, and when the banks opened ho got In communicn tion with his homo bank and money was telegraphed him.
