H. Moroy muuugor of the light pomiiimv. tliu largest users 01 coai in Nnrtii Platte, made an anneal toduy to the patrons of his company to .curtail , - - - - - tnoir consumption of electricity in ev- ory Doaslblo way to save coal. Air. Moroy a statement follows: ."It was thought at tho boginnlng of tho coal strllco that tiie company nau which was supposed to be in transit "This quantity in transit Is boing do- homes of the city, all factories, hospit- als and .public Institutions would bo without light or power. There would bo no power for electrical instruments used by doctors and dentists. "Even though the coal in transit arrives in time to prevent any shut down, It is possible that the mines may be slow in opening up and mak ing deliveries regardless of the fact that the strike is ended, and it will take possibly a week after the mines do open up to got coal delivered. "In the interest of nil, and In spito of any loss of revenue to tho company, wo feel It our duty, therefore, to ad vise everyone to be conservative In tho use of electricity. In other words we request everyone to save electricity so that tho supply of coal may be made to Inst as long as possible. Individual savlug of electricity may appear to bo insignificant to the private citizen, but individual savings in the nggrogate can accomplish a considerable econo my. One 50 watt lamp burning In the homo' of each of our customers re quires moro power, and therefore more fuel, than Is used to supply any one of North Platte's largest indus tries. "Wo are today requesting all tho merchants to limit their window light ing to two hours per night, oxcept Sat urday night, and request each ono of our other customers to economize in their use of electricity as much as pos sible until this emergency Is over. "We'Teol hopeful that we will get through the present difficulty without having to shut down tho plant hut wo also feel thnt It is our duty to warn everyone of the exact condition of af fairs in order to enlist tho co-operation of our customers in conserving fuel and light to avoid, if possible, the In convenience and possible suffering which might result should wo not ask for tho co-operation of our customers in tho saving of fuel. "All tho industries In North Platto depend upon us for power, as well ns tho hospitals, and thoreforo many worthy laboring people might be thrown out of employment and many sick people micht be caused to suffer were this situation not taken In hands at once. :o: : Hny of Hope for Coal Local coal, dealers have been as sured by tho Union Pacific company that the cars of coal thov had in tran sit prior to November first hnvo not been confiscated or diverted; thnt the cars are simplv "hold" for order of tho government. This Is encouraging, for the dealers had some reason to believe that tholr coal had been either seized or diverted. Yesterday one dealer was advised that two cars of his coal which had been held at Rawlins had been released, and the two cars will nrobablv bo started on their way to North Platte, but It Is not known how soon thev will arrive. North Platto dealers had about forty oars In transit prior to November first. If thoso havo not. as tho Union Pacific states, been confiscated or di verted and will be released by tho gov- ornmont, there is a ray of hope for better coal conditions in North Platte. r :o' : Sight Specialists, Dixon & Son.

'To Our Lincoln County Citizens: I have noticed in tho papers lately advertisements for tho sale of differ ent kinds of stocks. Most of these nro preferred stock for promotions; whore tho common stock costs nothing but owns tho company; whllo tho prefer red stock furnish the money to run tho business, but has nothing to say in the management. 1 havo become connected with tho Higglns Packing Company, and have recently become president and am op- crating tho company. Every dollar's worth of stock Issued by this company represents a dollar paid by tho pur chaser for It. There is no promotion stock. It is all common and partici pates both in the management and the dividends. No corporate stock can ipay dividends until the business Is in operation The Higglns Packing Company took over an Independent plant in the Un ion Stock Yards of South Omaha In 191S. Nearly all of our stock Is owned by farmers and ranchmen In Nobraskn. All but four of tho board of directors aro farmers and ranchmen. Wo have been operating the plant at a profit' over since Its purchaso and will pay' a nlco dividend this year. N In addition to this we are erecting a new modern packing plant.
