V. Horth a fio THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB,, JULY 13L9Q7. No. 52 mm i 1 XINCOLX COUAT1' MUST FURNISH 121 MEN' Based on a population of 18,498, Lin coln county must furnish 124 mon for ImBls of tho draft la ono-thlrd of one basis of tho draft If tno-thlrds of ono par cont of tho paper population, and tho population glvon Lincoln county Is 18,498, 'which Is about 500 less than tho total voto and tho school population would Indicate. Early In tho week It was thought that tho drawing would occur tomor row, but lato Washington dlspatchos state tho organization of tho exemp tion boards in all tho states has not been completed and tho drawing can not bo hold until next week. Arthur county will bo required to furnish fourteen mon, McPherson county ten, Logan county fourteen, Keith county thlrty-llvo and Dawson county 104. Tho total number to bo soloctod from tho state iw'lll bo 8,468. ;.o;; Novlllo lu Uio Limelight. Certainly tho North Platto governor of Nebraska Is in the limelight, brought so largely by tho Omaha Beo and tho Lincoln Journal. Ono day ono or tho other has Governor Novlllo slated as colonel of tho "Aristocratic Sixth" Nebraska regiment, the next day ho Is to be tho successor of Sena tor Narrls, thon tho following day he is to bo both, because a man with a military record can defeat any man who does have such a record. Person ally wo aro for Novlllo for colonel of tho Sixth and also for United States senator. Slnco January 1st ho has certainly mado "good" as govornor; ho has tho ability to mako good as a col onel or as a senator. Ho comes from a section where they breed and grow good men. ::o:: Shorter Hours for Employes. Harry Plolshmann and J. Q. Wil cox circulated a petition Wednosklay securing tho signatures of morchants to a six o'clock closing agreement and a discontinuance of remaining open pay-day evenings. Tho closing of the stores a half hour earlier in the ov enlng is, not likely to discommode any one to any great extent and gives own ers and employes an opportunity to havo an earlier su'pper a distinct ad vantage to them arm to tho house wife. Keeping open on pay day even ings has brought llttlo trade to the merchant, and as wo aire to havo two Union Pacific! paydays each month bo ginning with August, keeping open both evenings would scarcely mean enough trado to 'pay for tho lights. iummer Suits for the Are you one of those men who find the problem of buying one of those ready-to-put-on suits that fit a hard one to solve?
