A Y1IITUK SAYS THE CHIEF
Chief Mocombor through tho kind
ness of his heart, has been very tol
erant with auto owners who havo fail
ed to take out tho 1019 license and
those who fracture the law and run
from twonty-flvo to forty miles an
hour on the residence streets, but af
tor giving tho violators a friendly
warning which many havo failed to ob
serve, ho says that forbearance has
ceased to bo a virtue and henceforth
there will be arrests. Quite a number
who havo beon warned to take out a
license havo complied with tho re
quest before the now law becamo ef
fective, while those who havo neglect
ed to do bo now find that they are com
pelled to pay from seven to twolvo dol
lars moro than they would had they
taken Chief Mocombcr's advice. Theso
owners dislike to pay tho advance In
the license fee and arc dllly dallying,
a course that Chief Mecombcr will no
longer countenance
He has also "called down" a number
of speedsters, but thoy, too, havo fail
ed to heed tho warning, and tho officers

ave the Money
Secretary oi the Treasury Glass appeals to the
people of the United States to come to the aid of the
Victory Loan. With but one week ol the campaign
left only about one-half of the sum needed has been
subscribed. This appeal is made directly to the people
of Lincoln county and to every section where the peo
ple have been slow to subscribe.
Lincoln county people must wake up if they are to ,
maintain the good record which they made in previous
lo.ans. This county has subscribed only about half its
quota, which is a reflection on our good citizenship.
If you have not subscribed do so today; if you
have already subscribed, double your subscription.
The government needs the money; it must have it.
Be loyal to your government.

That Lincoln county will havo a
strong chapter of the American Co
glon, the now war society U) bo
formed by boys who havo been In tho
service, Is evidenced by tho Interest
that Is being taken not only by North
Platte's soldiers, sailors and marines,
but by those living In all sections of
the county. Tho county delegates
who attended the state convention at
Lincoln Saturday state that tho meet
ing was a most enthusiastic one, and
they return full of "pep." This week
( apt. Vic Halllgan and Leonnrd 13,
Robinson go to St. Louis to attend tho
national convention, and upon their
return tho work of organizing a chap
ter will be taken up and pushed until
tlie name of every soldier, sailor and
marlno Is enrolled on the member
ship. With a possible membership of four
millions, tho American Legion will be
ilie most powerful patriotic organiza
tion this country has over known, and
with the bolshovlc propaganda now
i.elng circulated In the country, wo
i ortainly need such an organization to
counteract the work of thoso whoso
elilof aim Is to destroy tho government
and all our economic laws.
