Eaton, Crane, Pike and Keith STATIONERY The most complete and up-to-date line of stationery in the. city. Gummere-Dcnt Drug Company The following letter was received from ono of our Subscribers regard ing tho drainage proposition west of town. Wo print it as a contribution to tho dralnago question now so prom inently before us. TO THE TRIBUNE: I want to tell tho public through Tho Trlbuno that I am against drain ing this good litlo valloy that wo have boon fortunato enough to find und lo cato in to make our homo. I am a resident horo and feel perfectly sat isfied with my investment and tho land that I own and I know that this land does not need any drainage. I have noticed since I mpved to this County that land farmed by tho owner has always raised crops except when they have been destroyed by pests. Other land has n reputation for not growing crops but lot mo say right hero that it is not tho lands fault but tho fault of tho man who planted tho crop. Ho did not plow and cultlvato tho ground and tako caro of tho growing crop ahd so lost out. Then ho blamed tho soli. Tills was said of ono of tho farms I ow,! and Hvo on and if you think I am too windy, just ask mo what I will take for It nnd you will soon learn that I think it is somo good. Ono of tho biggest drawbacks wo have in this country is that somo of tho farmers want to farm too "big" and tho work is only- half done. So tho expenses aro more than what ho saves. Right hero wo como to wnat will happen if this drainago goes thru; wo will havo moro expense. Wo have all tho taxes wo can pay right now. Stop and think, if this drainngo goes through, what your proceeds will bo when you como to pay off that mort gage on your farm If there is ono, or to mako your homo moro comfortable for you in your old ago or to improvo tho country whore you Hvo. If you aro rich enough to- buy somo of these bonds and lot' tho other follow work nnd dig all his lifo to pay you, I don't blamo you for wanting dralnago be causo you will bo suro to drain tho other fellow's pocket dry. Then you will bo benefitted with what tho home people don't want, especially tho land ownofs that Hvo on thoir farms. ft you examine tho district to bo drained you will see that tho bIggQ9t acrcago Is owned by non-residents. They want "to soli their land and aro trying to boom this country and so got high price. If these non-resident owners fail In this they will have a sugar factory In Hcrshoy, controlling mo nnd you and tho bonds will bo taken caro of without doubt. Wo havo no swamps hero and what land is not fit to farm now will nover bo after tho dralnago and maybe it will bo a wholo lot poorer as now it will grow hay and' pasturo without irrigation. And hero Is anothor thing to think about If dralnago is to bo successful wo will havo to uso moro water to irrlgato with and that will attach another expense. Wo havo to bo very neighborly right now to mako tho water do us all. Boforo tho bomls woro paid It was ono dollar and now It is three dollars sinco tho bonds nro paid and it will bo tho samo way with tho drainage. It will havo to bo kopt ip and wo hnvo no guaranteo how good it will bo. I am in thts Dralnago District Num ber Ono with part of my land. Somo of my neighbors aro out bocauso thoy woro not in favor of It District Num Ono was formod from enough acreago of Uiobo who woro in favor and thoy say thoy will suro got tho neighbors In District Numbor Two and so on till thoy get tho wholo valloy. I do not think that is right. So my farmor frionds and North Platto and Horehoy business men stop and think what wo nro gottlng ourselves into, boforo it is too lato. Lcavo good enough alono and you will soo in flvo years from now wo will bo bettor fixed financially, havo bettor roads and bettor Improved farms than if wo had dralnago and North Platto and Horshoy will havo moro money at homo from tho community. . Tills is my honest bolioving and fool ing toward you all. FRANK STROLBERG, North Platto, Nob. July 31, 1920. ARE YOUR EYES PERFECT? Ever havo them oxambod? Thero may bo a dlfforenco in your oyes.

Hauling Conditions It takes a mighty good wagon to keep on giving good service under some of the hauling conditions in this section. Our experience in hand ling wagons tells us that tho John Deere Mountain Wag on is the most satisfactory in meeting these conditions. It is a long-lid, light running wagon, mado of tho best material by workmen who have a long established reputation for building sue cessful wagons. With a big load on a John Deere and miles to go, you can face rough roads with the assurance that the wagon will stand every strain and "get thero" with out unnecessary pull on the horses. Yearafteryearyouwillget that kind of satisfaction from John Deere wagon service. Remember that depend ability is by far the most important wagon feature to you that the only way to get a real wagon bargain is to get assured long wagoa service when you buy. i t I Come in and look over our John Deere Mountain Wagon LEYPOLDT & PENNINGTON, Implements. 4
