Tho law enacted by tho Nebraska
legislature requiring tho railroads to
pay their Employes twice a month,
Instead of monthly, was signed
Friday by Govornor Novillo, nnd Is
thereforo n stnto law. Tho measure
passed, howovor, without tho emer
gency clause, nnd will thoroforo not
bo operatlvo until July 1st.
Apparently llttlo interest was taken
In the bill by North Platto employes of
tho Union Pacific, and Its passago has
created hut little comment. Some have
said that they preferred ono monthly
paymont to two. Tho now order of
things will mako more work for tho
force In tho local offices, as two pay
rolls Instoad of ono will need be mndo
each month.
For many years In North Platto tho
monthly pay day has largely governed
buslnoss transactions with road and
shop mon. If an employe bought mer
chandise, tho usual oxprosslon wns ''I
will pay you next pay day," nnd many
thought of not settling their bills until
tlioy recolved- tholr company chocks.
The storos havo alawys kept open on
pny day ovonlngs nnd gonerally thoro
lias been a rush of business. With two
pay days a month, nnd tho chocks only
half tho formor size, pay day will not
he as much of an event in local business
circles as formerly, as only one-half
the usual amount of monpy will ho
plnced In circulation at one time.

Fifty-Nino Fire I,iihI War.
Mr. Voter and property owner are
you interested In the protection of
your property against destruction by
fire? It so please read the following
and let It "soak In."
The records of the lire department
show that during tht past year there
hnv been ftfty-i.lne fires In the city.
Eighteen of these llres were slight
and the property damage amounted
to but little. '
The thirty-one other Ares resulted
In a property loss of $39,880. Less than
one-fourth of this loss was covered
l,y Insurance.
Vow ask yourself: Do we need a
more efficient lire department?
The first step toward greater effi
ciency Is a lire station; a place to keep
equipment and a place to bullij up a
lire department membership, Instead of
Just lotting te dheparttnont run Itself,
as It has been doing In tho past.
Romombor If you don't vote for the
flro houso bonds your vote counts
against tho proposition.
