In a recent lssuo of Tho Tribune
thoro appeared an Item to tho effect
that R. McFarland and aon would
build four residences on tho formor's
oast Fourth streot block -which Is all
set to fruit and forest trees. At that
tlmo wo did not Intend that tho
editor should got on to our plans for
publication, but as ho has given pub
licity, I guess in tho faco of high
prices wo will bo compelled to make
good. During tho summer, If all goes
according to schedule, we will build
four full basements one-story 8-room
bungalows 24 x 32 to sell or rent
Tho interior arrangements in each will
bo similar, but tho exterior of each
will bo different. Wo will call theso

Alpha, Beta, Cappa and Delta. The
material for Alpha Is being assem
bled. Watch It grow to completion in

TO ASSIST CHAIRMAN SHILLING.
"It pays to ndvertlsa," said Chairman
Shilling of tho Near East camalgn, "for
In response to tho apponl mado In Tho
Tribune Frldny for nsslstnnco In tho
campaign for funds, tho Canteen Ho
serves volunteered to help out In tho
work, thus roltovlng mo of n depressed
stato of mind duo to tho fact that I
could get no ono to assist mo in o
work. Now that tho Canteen Reserves
havo proforolT tholr nsslstnnco I feel
that the campaign will bo well con
ducted and that people will respond
liberally to the call for funds to re
lieve the destitution of the peoples of
the Near East, thouaauds of whom aro
In a starving nnd helpless condition."
When the A. It. C, Canteen wns
mustered out of sorvlce, the members
agreed to remain Intact umler an or
gnnlzntlon to ho known ns Canteen Ho
servos and ns such help to meet emer
gency conditions that might nrlso In
tho future. Sovoral tlmos tho Bosorvos
have volunteered their services for tho
public good, and now come forward to
assist Chairman Shilling In his Near
East campaign. It Is Indeed fortunate
that North Platto possesses such a body
of energetic nnd public spirited wo

democrats quit tho president's. lead nnd
voted for rnttnoiitlou, but tho defection
failed by seven votes of providing tho
two-thirds requisite to ratify. Tho re

capital as having put over Into tho
political campaign for decision tho long
