INITIAL 3I0VE FOll NEW SOUTH PLATTE BRIDGE The initial movo toward a now stato aid bridgo across tho South Platte rlvor south of town will bo mado this week, when a petition asking for the submission of a bond proposition will bo circulated. Tho matter is taken up at this time for tho roason that a now bridge Is needed, tho condition of tho old bridgo having reached 'a point where it will soon bo condemned ns being unsafo, and for Alio further roa son that stato aid Ih now obtainable, whereas in a year or so it cannot bo secured. Thoro is a goncral belief that tho coming legislature will ro peal the present state aid bridgo law, on Alio ground that so comparatively fow counties recoivo any benoflt, while all counties contribute in taxes. Tho counties not benefitted naturally ob ject to paying taxes for an object from which tthey receive no direct benefit. Tho present bridgo may last a year or two, probably not so long, and as a now ono must bo built soonor or lat er, It is considered the wlso plan to take advantago of tho state aid law, under which tho state pays half of tho cost of tho structure. : :o: Foot Hall Friday Tho initial gamo of foot ball will be played by itho high school team on tho local field at 3:30 next Friday af ternoon.

It is the fixed policy-of this store to offerits ptftrons the best possible service , and it was in keeping with this policy that we have Just engaged the services of Mrs. Beckton a graduate of the Gossard. training school. Mrs. Beckton was recommended to us very highly as a woman of large experience in the fitting of their corsets. At the time we engaged her services she was employed as Corsetiere in one of the large State Street Stores in Chicago which should be recomendation enough. Gossard Corsets are the standard by which all other front lace corsets are, compared. They give beauty of form and a grace of carriage that is not equaled in any other line. VVThey also are a great help to majiy, ladies that need the support that this class of a corset alone can give . There are many Gossard models for j" . " every type of figures at $2. 00 , . $3 . 50 , $5.00 and up. If you spend only $2.00 or; $3.50 for your Gossard Corset you will re.ceive the same scientific f ittingUer.vice as' though you selected a $10 .00model . It will be intorest- ing for you to come,iiin and talk over these matters with; Mrs . Beokton and will be considered a favor by us. , .1 tf. VCJ...WV Yv U H'V . 1 VILCOX DEPARTMENT, STORE.
