Fill DA V, JANUARY :!ifj l!l!l. PROPOSITIONS NORTH I'LATTH siioriii) iii:aktii.v boost. Tlioro aro two propositions loth of which would bo fathered by the fotloral government that North Platte should heartily encourage dur ing the year 1910. Ono Ih a govorn mont Irrigation project covering landB south of tho river, the other the rec lamation of land wost of tho city thru a government drainage ditch. Hoth projects would provo of groat value to tho land owners ot tho respective sections and would tend to IncrcaBO cominorclal activity in North Platto. Government reclamation officials havo told Tho Tribune editor that both thoso propositions are feasible, and that their construction can bo secur ed if tho peoiilo mako a concortcd movo toward securing thorn, hut that they cannot be secured unless an ef fort Is made, because there aro ho many othor sections of the west that aro making moves In this dlroctlon. It Is probable that within the next two years congress will appropriate ono billion dollars for reclamation pro jects, and if tho pooplo of this inimo dlato flection do not share in thlH ex penditure it will bo thoir own fault. In both dralnngo and Irrigation pro jects the request from land owners must bo practically unanimous, for tho government will not outer n flold wliero thoro Is a factional fight. Tho land owner must, of courao, pay for tho benoflt his land derives from Ir rigation or drainage and tho cost Is assessed against tho land, hut the owner has forty years in which to mako his payments. Thd Tribune invitos a discussion of thoso propositions thru its columns. DON'T UK a "fiuanutujr WAKE IT AMI JHAKK A NOISE. Nothing is more oxcltlng, moro In teresting, than Ufo. 'Nothing Is moro grutifying than satisfying tho ambi tions of Ufa. Ani all ambitions in Ufo leim to Success. At tho same timo life can bo the quintessence of melan choly, of dullness. What can bo moro discouraging than to plod through an oxistonco 'which promises no success and offers no opportunity for progoss. Honry B. Walthall, in tho Paralta Play, "Humdrum Brown," which will bo Bhown at tho SUN Theatre Satur day, represents a man who la drudg ing Just mich a path. "HumdnUm," tho rolo played by Mr. Walthall is a bank employee about thirty years old. Ho has bten born and Iralsedi In tho little, unplrogroHslve community of Norwalk an(i hns roach mi tho end of tho road or opportunity which tho small town offers. Ho can go no furthor, ho cannot attain suc cess for ho Is bound to tho town by domestic obligations. Yet, within "Humdrum'B" bouI 'burns tho Are of ambition, tho desire to accomplish something for sovoral reasons. Ono of thoso reasons Is Alicia Pootho. to 'whom ho has boon engaged for Boron years. Sho has waited all this timo whilo "Humdrum" plodded and strug gled to savo ana achieve ho that they can bo married. And then a Holies of disheartening misfortunes descond up on "I Humdrum" Uko a curse. Pad luck is followed !' worse, Ho loses his sav ings, his position and oven tho trust of Ills flnnooo. And with straining oars, and chattering lips, tho town listons and talks thej had boon engaged sovou year?! "Humdrum," dazed but dotormlnod, lnuvos for tho city and tlto world or opportunity. Hero occurs tho crisis of his life. The small town tiod In, "Humdrum" sees a vast fu turo spread boforo him and his naturo Undergoes an uttr transCoYniation. And tho futuro; what it holds for him and tho thrills ho got mako a nlnturn drama that enthralls and captivates an inoso who boo it . MIhs Mary Cliarloson, who plays tho loading feminine rolo.

The food situation among thr Qorman pooplo according to reports gathered by Investigating officers is not sorious at tho prosont timo. The officers find however, In their investi gations that tho food supply in the cities will be exhausted on or about February ono and that in the country among tho farmers a little later. The potato crop upon which much has been placed has resulted In a partial failure and real hardship may result the cutting off of this food. Wages of worklngmen nro abnor mally low and aro not auffloicnt lo pay the prices which must bo given to insure at least n partial supply of food . The gotioral situation seems to be ono of waiting. At present the gen eral ration sooms to bo composed mainly of broad. Hour, canned goods, turnip tops and u very little sugar, obtainable only by tho wealthy. The expense of those provisions Is nbout ton marks dally whereas tho working man receives from six to eight marks, The failure of the potnto crop com bined with the scarcity of canned giods is expecjed to bring a real hard ship about tho middle of February. A survey of tho situation In Aus tria shows conditions much worse and the danger of an ultlmnto food pinch Ih evident. ::o:: Must Hnvo Rig Navy. Unless a league of nations or other Mbunul that will mako certain tho limitation of international armament Is established, tho United States must build Iho greatest navy In tho world, Secretary Daniels told tho houso nav al committee "It is my firm conviction," declared tho secretary, "that if tho conference ut Versailles does not result In a goneral agreemont to put an end to naval building on tho part, or all tho nations, then the United States must bend her will and bond hor ener gies, must give her men and give her monoy to tho task of tho creation of Incomparably the greatest navy In the world." With the completion of tho proposed! now thrco year building program, adding ten dreadtiaughts. six battle crulHors, ten scout cruisers and mo smaller craft to the fleet, America still will rank second In naval strength to Great Britain, said tho secretary, who appeared before tho committee to mako his final rec ommendations for tho 1920 naval bill which tho commlttoo Is considering.

Each one of them is "sized up" by experts. " Both the packer's buyer and the commission salesman must judge what amount of meat each animal will yield, and how fine it will be, the grading of the hide, and the quantity and quality of the fat. Both must know market conditions for live stock and meat throughout the country. The buyer must know where the different qualities, weights, and kinds of cattle can be best marketed as beef. If the buyer pays more than the animal is worth, the packer loses money on it. If he Offers less, another packer, or a shipper or feeder, gets it away from him. If the seller accepts too little, the live stock raiser gets less than he is entitled to. If he holds out for more than it is worth, he fails to make a sale. A variation of a few cents in the price per hundred pounds is a matter of vital importance to the packer, because it means the difference between profit and loss. Swift & U. m Delay Works a Hardship. An appeal to bear with patience tho delays of demobilization constitutes, tho now year s greeting by Socretary of War Baker, which was read to the soldlors at all army camps Wednes day. Tho secretary's messugo was In effect an answer to Senator Chamber lain's chnrges in tho sonato that tho war department has no comprehensive systematic plan of demobilization and that tho administration is as unpre pared to return tho soldiers to civil llfo as It was to sond them to war. Complaints that tho war department demobilization procoss is not produc ing tho desired results arc niimorous. It Is alleged that there aro thousands of soldiers with Jobs awaiting them In civil life who ore oiirnuntorliiK great difficulties in obtaining dis charge, whilo thousands of othors re cently discharged soldiers hnvo been unablo to find employment. With outdoor work scorco In tho next few months, Nathan A. Smyth, assistant director genoral or United States employment sorvlco said it may becomo necessary to releaso only thoso soldlors who havo peacotlmo positions waiting for them. ::o:: Entray Notico.
