Just as soon as spring opens work on the new road between North Platte and Maxwell will bo resumed. Com missioner Springer who has charge of this work, stated that he will probably use, an elevator-grader to throw up the road through the low-land, as the ordinary road grader will not throw It high . enough. Gravel and muck will bo hauled on tho sandy stretches. There will not bo sufficient funds available this year to put the road in tho shape desired, but a good start will bo made. The road at pros cnt is in very fair condition. ::o: : Town Lots for Iilherty Bonds.

The contract for tho construction o the concrete bridge across tho Soutlu Plnttd rivor south of town was award ed Wednesday to Thos. CJagt, of Elm Greek on a bid of $38,245. This is fori the BVldgo proper and does not includojf the fill at oach end of tlio bridge, tne total of which Is U4C feet. The brldgo will bo 53G feot long including abut ments, with ten spans of fifty feet each. Tho fills, it Is estimated, will cost about $2,000, making the cost of tho brldgo slightly in excess of the $40,000 obtained through bonds and state aid. Five bids were submitted aa follows: Omaha Steel Structural -Co., $40,990; Midland Bridge Co., $41,300; Central Bridge Co., $41,900; Monarch Bridge Co., $39,788; Thos. Gast, $38,245. Tho bid of Gast came as a HUl.rprlso to the agents for tho other companies, for It was not supposed that ho wouiu be a bridge blddor. Heretofore he has limited his work to making brldgo illls and work of like nature. It was Gast who constructed the brldgo fill east of town. It Is surmised that tho four companies above enumerated had formed a "pool,' hence their surpriso when tho Gast bid was read. The contract calls for tho comple tion of tho brldgo by Novomber 7th, and work thereon Is supposed to start within sixty days. ;:o:: Class AV111 Number 10(1.

R. L. DOUGLASS, North Platte. Arrange for Seed Wheat. County Agent Barber, working In connection witli the North Platte Electric Mills, is making arrangements , to ship In a car of spring wheat fori distribution among farmers who desire to buy it. Samples havebeen received from Nato Brittain living north of Brady who offores to sell Agent Barber 1,200 bushels of Texas Turkey Red at $2.00 per bushel on car at Brady. It Is probable that this offer will bo ac cepted. : :o: : Few Farmers are Called. Provost Marshal General Crowder says that less' than one per cent of available agricultural workers were called for service in the first draft, and that loss than one-half of one per per cent would bo called In tho next draft. Only 2G5.731 agricultural work-- ors out of a total of 13,843.579 are liable to draft. In the next draft General Crowder added, only thos who would be least available for adding to tho nation's food supply would be called for ser vice. Tho re-classification of regis trants, ho insisted, afforded n wealth of protection of farm labor. :o: : PRINTZESS GARMENTS DISTINCTION N Every woman likes to feel themselves well dressed that her clothes are not only correct in style but reflect the utmost beauty and grace of line. This individuality and dis tinctiveness is a feature of The Printzess Garments. It is in part due to the Printzess Pol icy of employing its workers all the year round instead of laying them off during dull seasons, a policy which has drawn to the Printzess plant the master designers and the most skillful workers in the trade. Men and women who design and cut and stitch your Printzess garments are the pick of the craft. Consequently better tailoring and workmanship which makes our Suits and Coats look better, fteep their shape longer and give you better service. A big assortment now on display at our store. TO.

It Is an attractive reminder of how woll wo faro compared with tho people of tho' war stricken countries oversea. In talking yestorday with a farmer who usually puts out from 200 to 400 acres of corn, ho remarked that ho was in a quandary as to what to do in re gard to acreago. Ho feels that this Is a year when ho should plant a larger acreago than usual, but tho question with him Is whether ho can securo help oven though ho payB S2.50 or $3.00 a day and keep. Ho may conclude to play safe by puting in only tho acreago that ho and his family can tako aio of properly. W. T. JUDY & SONS. Two Days Sale of Pure Bred Stock KEARNEY, NEB.
