President Miles, of tho Nebraska stuto ball league, has written a letter to tho management of the local team Inviting .North Platto to enter the league. This was vory nice of Prcsl dent Miles, but In view of the prosont condition of tho stato league tho In vitation was declined with thanks. North Platto with an independent team will have as much ball sport, as good games, and at less cxpenso than though a member of tho stato league. It is hotter to havo an independent team and pny tho players promptly than to be a league team and go broke in tho middle of the season, which con dition now seems to face tho Nobras- Only One Entirely Satisfactory.

This organization must have olllcers composed of business men to look after the business In general, approving or rejecting the numerous plans and propositions submitted to them by" tho secretary. The president nnd board of directors must act as kind of a check and nt the same time a help to the secretary, as the secre tary gets so enthusiastic at times that ho wants to go too fast for the funds that are, or can be, raised. Tlio secre tary, however, must be active. He must bo figuring out new plans and advertise for now plans to help the city. He must get these In workable shape to place before the board of di rectors, accepting their decision as to tho most feasible and then pushing the propositions so accepted to completion. This Is not all, however, that is nec essary to make up an actlvo chamber of commerce or commercial organiza tion. It Is also necessary for the as sociation to havo tho active and finan cial support of the citizens generally. Wo have the organization with a carefully selected set of officers. Men that I believe will do as much for North Platte and work as hard for the organization as any set of men that could bo selected. While the work lias been kept up in the past, the or ganization has not accomplished ns much as it should for the principal reason that it has not had tho sup port of tho people Interested. Tho or- ! ganlzation, to be a success absolutely I must have the support of tho business I men, property owners and residents of the city. i Tho association again, must treat I every member and business of tho city nuke. From the association's stand point, It must look at the business of the city as ono business. The head of a department store does not worry about n certain customer dealing with only one division of his store but wants that customer to deal with all divisions or departments at tho same time. It 13 extictly the same with a, commercial organization. There is not any one thing that the chamber of commerce can do that will help all lines of business the same, but from tho viewpoint of tho organization that should not make any difference, nor should it lessen the support of those institutions tlint do not soap the dl rect benefit. We must all boost togeth er with a largo, broad view, and In the end wo will reap the benefits. We cannot expect results nil the time. Tho commercial organization of a city Is Just llko any other busi ness. In business, no matter what the line, we advertise In different ways. How much of this advertising can wo follow up up and seo just whero It brings money into tlio cash drawer? Wo know, however, that the most suc cessful business houses spend large sums of money for advertising. Wo know thnt they reap benefits there from, or elso they would not do the ad vertising thnt thoy do Wo might ad vertise .North Platto for Bevcral years and the results not show very strong, wlien all at onco somo factory will bo looking for a location, and notice our advertising. Thoy will decide that wo must havo an active town, ns thoy havo noticed our advertising for sonio years. They would send a man hero or cor respond with us, and as wo would have an organization to tnko chargo of tho proposition, wo could show them tlio advantages of the town nnd thoy would decide to locate. Say a factory em ploying from 100 to 300 men, which would mean at least an increase in our population of GOO people, counting tho families that would come. You know what this would moan to our city, It would Increnso real estate values, it ; would increnso tho business conduct ed In the city many times, and would ropny every supporter of this organiza tion many times over. 1 Every proposition that brings out side mnnoy into tho city, or that keeps money hero that has nrovlouslv been going out, Is a proposition to be con sidered by n chamber of commerce For Instance a Fourth of July colo bratlon would not directly benefit all tlio buslnoss houses. It would keop in tuo town about $10,000 that would go out If we did not have u eelebra I tion. It would also bring In about . ?G,000 more at least. Would we not all i reap mo neneut in a business way sooner or later In keoplng this amount of monoy hero? Should It not bo a proposition pushed by tho chamber of eoinmerco7 Wo aro each a unit In tho organlzn tion and wo should ench givo our untlr Ing efforts for tho support of tho same, mo same that wo do for our own bust nes8, and for these reasons I ask you ap rcnow citizen?) to assist tho commit too on tho 8th, Uth and 10th of this month In getting tho largost member Bhip tho organization ovor had. After wo havo dono this, howovor, don't stop. but keop right on boosting. Help tlio organization by helping to put push and ginger into It. C. F. TEMPLE, Scc'y. Memorial Day was observed In North Platto yesterday by practically a com plete cessation of business and the na tion's defenders who havo answered tho final roll call were remembered by tlio placing of flowers on their resting plnces, by words of eulogy and by mu sic. Tlio federal and county offices, the Union Pacific shops and nearly all the business houses were closed dur ing the day, flags were dlspayed, and the attendance at tho city cemetery as well as at the Bouth side cemetery was large.
