talnors, of which Miss Irma Huffman
of tills city 1b tho reader and soloist,
will cIobo the season at Mackinaw, 111.,

MIm Huffman will spend two weens
In Chicago coaching, after Which she
will return to North Platto to visit
hor paronta and frlonds until the
Cllautaunua season opens In May when
eho will etart out on ft circuit for n
three months engagement.
An ostlmato of Miss Huffman's abil
ity as an ontortalnor Is obtained from
a loading papor of Toxas which said:
Mlsa Huffman was a trio entertainer
In ono norsonallty. It Is difficult to
say In which art ho excelled or was
most appreciated. Hor soprano num
bers wero suporb, hor readings clovor
nnd artlRtlc and her piano work ap
norBonaHty captured hor audience, hjr
personality captured tho nudlenco Iier

nnd thoro was alwnys that wholesome

hor wonderful ability In chnractorlza

lullaby, 'Mammy a Black Rose, nnd
tho reading "Tho Silk Worm Story."

Wim t Onmo Warden Appointed.
Farmers living on tho south side of
tho river between North Platto and
Gothenburg will unite In a petition to
Governor Novlllo requesting that he
appoint a gnmo warden for Lincoln
county. Those farmers state that tho
grasshoppers have been Increasing
so rapidly during the pnst two or three
years as to threaten tho complete
dstructlon of tho alfalfa fields, and
claim that protection of game birds Is
tho only solution of tho Impending
danger. If tho birds aro protected dur
ing tho early part of tho year and
not ruthlessly slaughtered, thcyw will
rill tho country of tho grasshoppers,
and to protect tho birds a game
iwnrden Is necessary.
In Keith county tho residents sent
a petition- to Representative Beftll ask
ing that ft bill bo Introduced making
ft closed season for a period of threo
yoars on nil game birds on tho plea
thnt tho hoppers wore devastating the
alfalfa fields.
To Be Saving is
Not to Be Stingy
That's the wrong idea. To bo snvinji-merely means to
stop useless expenditures . You do not havqlo bo.penurious
to save money , Just lav nside the small amounts you spend
for things you can do ns well without und put that money jn
the First National Bank.
You wilt indeed be surprised at what these small sums' will
amount to even in one year's time.
. A bank account will increase your self-respect and will
also give you prestige.
