A SERMON ON LUMBER
In conclusion my friends, wo cnn'l get away
from this lumber question.
Why, every one of us spent our first days in u
cradle made of lumber. Our lives have been
lived between walls of two by fours and lath,
with rafters over our heads, and matched
flooring beancath our feet. We have been
sitting in wooden chairs, eating from wooden
tables, riding in wooden wagons, and in the
course of time will be laid to rest in wooden
casket.

Uy a majority of nlnety-onu, tlio

that North IMatto shall he "dry." The
result was obtained through splendid
organization of the dry forces and tho
falct tjhat jraiHroa'd employes Joined
more heartily In the movement than
ever before.
Hy wards the votoiwaa: First ward
208 for, 183 against; Second ward 84
for, 148 against; Third ward 1G0 for,
183 against; Fourth ward 172 for, 201
against. Tho total vote on tho propo
sltlon was 1,339, showing that the
drag net was well used In getting
voters to tho polls.

tlon; In tho Second J. M. Knox was
elected, receiving nlnoty-slx votes
while E. W. Mann received seventy

F. Stroltz and Leslie Buskins for miom
hers of tho board of education wee

elghty-slr In . total voto of 035,
As many who voted Tuesday aro op'
posed to local option but favor state
wide prohibition, The Tribuno believes
that at tho November electon the pro
hlbltory amendment will havo a ma
jority of not less than 250 in North
Platto and that the majority in the
county will not fall short of- 800
Those are the figures The Tribune
which iWill support tho amendment-
has placed as the minimum mark 1
desires to see. If the majority is
greater, all tho better. "All Nebraska
dry n 1910; the entire nation dry In
1925' that's the slogan. Fall In' llhe
early.

Tlie sale of stamps at the North
IMatto postofflco for tho year ending
March 31 1910, was in round numbers
twenty thousand dollars. This Is a
gain of twelve per cent over the fiscal
year of 1914-15 and a gain of one hun
dred per cont In tho past seven years.
Tho receipts for last month wcro
about one hundred per cent greater
thun In March, 1915. This was largely
duo to the largo amount of campaign
llteraturo tliat has been mailed out '
from tho Neville headquarters and by
county candidates.
That the receipts of tho office have
Increased ono Hundred per cent in
seven years Is certainly n wonderful
showing; nn average lncrenso of a
fraction over fourteen per cent for
each year.
Receipts of a postofflco arc usually
taken as an Index of the growth of a
community and this certainly makes
a favorablo showing for tho growth of
North Platte.

Tho Drovera Journal-Stockman cites
a peculiarity of the hog market. For
instance, six years ago there was a
hog famine and the price was aTound
$10.00. This year, notwithstanding the
biggest winter run In tho history of
the trade, hogs aire heading straight
toward the $10.00 mark again. Which
goes to show that what wo call the
natural lays of trade aro set entirely
at naught sometimes. Kearney Hub.
