there la now In process of orKnulza
tlon what Is to he known ns n Homo
Guilders' Association to ho financed hy
twenty-flvo or nioro men and with a
capital stock of not less than $25,000.
The ohject of the association Is to
purchnse lots, erect houses thereon
and as above stated rent or sell thorn
on the Installment plan, '
In view of tho fact that from fifty
to one hundred houses for rental pur
poses are needed In North Platte In or
der to accommodate tho demand, and
that people who desire to locate' here
hut cannot do so because they cannot
secure houses In which to live,, the
proposed Home Builders' Association
Is certainly a move In tho right di
rection. Why Not n Knnkl Ticket.

Putting It L'p tn the farmer.
Tho Trlhuno loams from an offi
cial source that tho farmers of tho
country aro oxpected to buy inor
heavily of the Victory loan bonds than
they did of any of tho previous Is
sues. Tho government officials tako
the position that the farmer has boon
guaranteed a big price for his wheat,
and that In making this guarantee the
government stands to loso abput a
billion dollars. Thus as tho govern
ment has made a sacrifice to maintain
the wheat price, the farmer should
niako an equal sacrifice In buying
bonds to the utmost limit. It Is fur
ther argued that by guaranteeing tho
price of wheat nil other farm produce
Is held up In price.
