Tho placo occupied by hay in the agricultural productions of Lincoln county is shown to a marked degree by the shipments made since the first of last July by tho firm of Loypoldt & Pennington .from stations in the Platte Valley in this county. During tho past seven and one-halt months this firm has shipped from Lincoln county 1,761 cars of hay, approximat ing 21,000 tons, for which they paid tho growers $416,920. This Is equiv alent, to disbursing! over $2,000 a day for every working day of tho period nnvnim1 twf tit a d1i I rm fin f a NTrvf rittl V docs this glvo evldonco of the value of the hay" Holds of tlie valley, but gives an Insight into tho volumo of business transacted yearly by this firm, whoso shipment of hay from Elkhorn valley points aro nearly as great as from Lincoln county, and in addition buy and soil grain, mill stuff, flour and coal. But these shipments of 1,761 cars of hay by Loypoldt & Pennington does not by- any moans represent tho full valuo of tho hay crdp, for thero aro not only other shippers, but some few of tho growers do their own shipping. Taking tho alfalfa shipments in con junction -witli the hay, tho value of both would mount up well toward the million dollar mark. ::o:: Tho best valentine. LIggctt's choco lates.

KEITH THEATRE I CRYSTAL THEATRE Wednesday Night. Thursday Night. The Ideals of the Motor Car Business. By GEO. C. HIJB1JS, Assistant Sales Manager for Dodge Brothers. "If tho splendid work dono during the past few years in putting the soil ing methods of .the Industry upon a higher plane in the eyes of tho public Is to continue, then it may become necessary to adopt measures among representative dealers that will make It highly unpleasant for unscrupulous dealers to misrepresent, by their cheap methods, the real character of tho motor car business. "Public confidence is as big and vital an asset to the industry as a whole as It is to the individual dealor, and any dealer who clearly, shows that he has no' regard for such confidence should not bo permitted to profit by it. "There are three things all of . which have to do with commoif hon esty that will largely detormlno the future of this business: "First, the manufacture of honest cars. No manufacturer has a right to mislead tho public or to force thev dealer to compromise himself by rep resenting a car to be something which lie secretly Knows it Is not. There can be no such thing as per manent4 success for either a car or a dealor that is not basted on probable merit. "Second, an "honest, helpful, abso lutely uniform and businesslike rela tionship betw'eon tho manufacturer and his dealers. "Third, oppn-nnd-abovc-bonrd deal ing with motor car purchasers, with ' no fictitious allowances on used cars to cover up price concessions; no fictitious "free" service thnt is charg ed for In advance In tho price of the car: no fictitious claims for merit or iierformanco that cannot be easily proved. "Tho application of simple honesty at thoso vital points will provide tho surest possible guarantee for a healthy futuro for thoso dealers and manufacturer who hoyo " vision enough nnd courage enough to follow a straight line. "Tho real dotcrnilninc factors for tho fiiUure aro In Uio Ideals (or lack of thorn) of tlio men engntrcd In tills business, rtitlior tlinn In certain nfrunlslni; flnnnclnl or economic eon-1tlniiN. I have been trying to hew to these lines in North Platte, with gratifying results., I intend in the future to continue to sell good DodgeBrothers and Chandler Motor Cars and to give real service to my buyers. I know such methods and service will appeal to. you, when you come to buy your car. Drop in and talk it over any time. J. V. ROMIGH, Dodge Brothers MOTOR CARS.

In an interview Sunday, Georgo Clomenceau, tho French premior, said: "I have said that the war is won. It would perhaps bo moro accurate to say thnt thero Is a lull in the storm. Recent disclosures have enabled to look deeper Into tho purposes of the enemy than wo could heretofore. It was not puroly a dream of mllltarv domination on tho part of Prussia. It was a definite, calculated conspiracy to exterminate Franco ns well Indus trinity and commercially as In a mili tary sense. "And this explains mnny of tho activities of tho Gorman army which wo wore not ablo to understand. Wo can now seo why they stole tho run chlnory from our factories, why thoy destroyed tho coal mines of Lens; vhv thero was all tho wanton devastation of French territory, oven when thoy woro in retreat. "And In this plmao of their ar- making effort they have not beon a I to gether unsuccesful. Tho Industrial life of Franco has been so wrecked that Its resuscitation Is most difficult, while Germany has boon ablo to .ive hor factories Intact and ready for im mediate efficient oporatlon. "And financially, by reason of tho blockade, (tho valuo of which :i- mllltary factor no ono will question) tho Gorman war debt is almost wholly a debt to her own people, easily re- rludlated, whllo tho debt of Fran"- Is ono which must bo paid. "Even as to tho military triumphs over Germany thoro Is a situation not altogether without disquieting den tures for France. It is quite true that tho allies have takon tho German navy and In a largo measure have dlwrm- ed tho enemy. But thoro romnlns a chaotic yot fruitful, Russia from which groat help may bo drawn b tho Tuotons." ity nnd St. Louis.
