Special Service for Farmers
The steadily growing popularity of this
bank among farmers is due to but one
thing: We have equipped ourselves to serve
farmers to give them the kind of ser
vice they want and expect
The average farmer, owing to his handi
cap of distance from town, needs special
service. By the use of the mails and the tele- .
phone we have been able to largely over
come this handicap.
Come in and see us the next time you are
in town. Investigate our complete facilities
and meet some of the men who by long ex
perience with farmers are especially well
qualified to serve you.

HIGGIXS FAVORS BUILDING
A NEW COURT housi:.
Editor Tribune: I was more than
pleased with your proposition to build
a court houso. I havo boon studying
tho matter sinco tho day tho armis
tice was signed in conjunction with
conditions which must bo when tho
boys return from tho trenches, but for
sovoral reasons did not fool disposed
to initiate tho question.
Looked at from nny and ovory angle,
present circumstances nnd conditions,
1 must boliovo that ovory patriot will
favor such n building. Most assuredly
so, if he will take a trip, olthor up or
down tho valley, and Inspect tho court
.houses in counties with not ono half
tho wealth of Lincoln County. If that
Is not sufficient for tho tight-wad,
walk (down tho streols bast buildings
of individual entorpriso and compnre
thorn to Lincoln County's ovldonco of
entorpriso in its courthouse. I am
suro that If such havo any chic prldo,
thev in disgust or shame will look
across tho strnat to tho city's school
buildings, as I nave often done.
I.ut thero is mwh li'oro than Prldo
In this matter. On; invaluable records
!'(' in gravo danger.
V'o aro fading a probable. lUr
renrhing economical problem. Its In
tensity dopends much upon how wo
meet it. Great wars havo nevor yet
failed to bo followed by hard times;
always brings patriotism itho real
thing, and tho noisy brand. Our boys
havo .demonstrated tho real, and wo
slay at homo, no'sy patriots, now havo
tho opportunity to show our mottlo
by making whatever necessary sacri
fices In their behalf. Employmont,
putting thorn on their foot industrial
ly, is ono of tho greatest needs. Every
one ran havo some part in doing this,
witli no excuso for slackers. Building
tho court house will bo a great help
in bridging ovor tho unemployment
conditions. which seem inovitnhlo. But
by every means nnd all means, let It
be ilono In a way that our Lincoln
county boys will receive tho full bene
fit. JONATHAN HIGGINS.
: :o: :
Good Roads fleeting.
A good roads meeting under tho
auspices of tho Chamber of Com
morro will bo hold In tho basement
of tho Episcopnl church Tuesday
ovening of next week. Preceding tho
meeting a good sitppor will bo sorvod
by tho ladles of tho church, and fol
lowing tho moal talks will bo made
on good roads. These tnlks and dls
cushions will center largely nn tho
roadi leading Into North Platto and
tho host way of Improving thorn nnd
maintaining thorn In good condition
after they nre Improved.
Tlio suppor tickets aro being sold
nt nno dollar each, and It Is hoped
that at least ono hundred of our busl
nov men will nttond.

Editor Tribune: As a farmer who
takes an Interest in Lincoln county,
whoro I havo mado tho most of my
money, I cortnlnly favor tho proposi
tion of a now court houso. I fcol that
tho present court houso Is a more
llro trap; that wo aro Hablo to loso
records that aro Invaluablo; that tho
officials aro hampered for room; that
thero should bo, as suggested, a mom
orlal hall for tho nearly 900 Lincoln
county boys who woro In sorvlco in
tho world war. Tho present court
houso Is a shabby affair; certainly
Uioro Ib not a man in tho county who
fools proud of It. Tho taxes each far
mor would pay In building n now
court houso would bo so small that
no ono would feol It; nnd cortnlnly
tho Bafety of our records, tho con-
vonienco thnt would result to tho or
flcor's, nnd tho prldo each would tako
in a modern flro-proof building would
much moro thnri equal tho cost of
each. Lincoln county desorvos a now
court houso. it Is badly needed nnd
wo can nfford to build it.
