Tho coiumunlcattou from Julius
Piter, which was printed In our last
issue, litis oponod up a very important
matter. North Plntto will slop growing
now u.til moro home and business
hotiius nro built Hardly a day passos
but we hoar of somcono who is leav
ing tho city because ho could not got
a houso or a room in which to do
buslnoss. Our people arc living in
overy available placo and tho limit has
been roached. Our growth has bcon so
rapid that our building program has
not kept up nnd wo find our Bolves
with an nbnormal number of people
with restricted building and amah
cbanco of immediate rollo. It In not
the fault of nnyono in particular nnd
wo cannot nuggost a remedy but wo
bollevo wo havo the problem with us.
Mdn cry for factories and now Indus
tries. In the name of common sonsc,
what would wo do with them? Evory
man in North .Platte who wants to
work, lias a Job and wo cannot tako
- caro of any moro peoplo until more
-housos nro built. Wo will wolcomo
other suggestions ns to tho solution
of tho problem.

Wo havo In Tho Trlbuno offico, a
large map of tho United States printed
by tho Department of tho Intorlor and
'thus correct In Bhapo and rolntlvo
distnncos. Non-stop trips by airplanes
are being made frequently botween
New York and Chicago. Wo placed a
star nt Now York and another at
Chicago. An equal dlstnnco directly
west gives ub anothor star at North
Platte, Nobr. Wo then located anothor
.Sttar nn equal distance wost of North
Platto and It cama at Salt Lake City
nnd tho last equal dlstanco west of
that was nt San Francisco. This gives
North Plntto a natural advantage
over Omaha, Donvor or Cheyenno
which cannot bo dc'nlod. With

visiting hor sistor Mrs. Colloy.
To'the Editor of the Tribune:
I have baeti fojlowlng the discussion
of the plans for the new Court House
In your paper and have heard a groaT
deal about It in talking with people
on the street and in other ptacos. It
seems to mo that St would be better to
put the Court House on the quarter
block where the county Jail now
stand and inalrt a real psrk out of
I the block where the Court House now
(.stands. It should bo provided with
soats for people who are visitors to
I Nortlu Platto from different parts of
' tho County. We should have a place in
this park for public tneotlnge in tho
wnrm woather where ten thousand
peoplo from all aver the county could
attend and get tho benoflt. Thlg would
be a good place for political meetings,
public celebrations, receptions to na-J
tional ghosts and othor mootlngs for
tho good of nil the people. It would bo
n shame to destroy all of the fine trees
on tho west side of the block in order
to placo a building there, when the
building could bo located just across
tho street and we couid havo the trees
for many years.
Othor places havo their Court House
on a small piece ot ground Just liko
nny othor business block. That is what
It Is a business house. There would
bo plenty of room on the quarter tpf
a block whoro tho Jail now stands for
a flue' building and It would have as
good a location as It it were Just
across tho road.
I do not know whnt others may
think but this looks to mo like a good
plan.
Very truly,

my kidneys wero out of order. When
my kldnoys are not In good condition
I havo a great deal ot backacho and

CONTINUE TO CAN.
Tho National Society for the Pro
motion of Thrift has sent us tho fol
lowing: i
Washington, D. C, Aug. 10. It will
be wlHdom en the part of houflokoopars
to can the usual nmount of fruit nnd
vegetables this year, oven If part or
all of the fruit must bo canned with
out sugar, according to a statement
Issued by the United Statos, Depart
ment of Agriculture
From all present Indications, sugat
will bo more abundant noxt winter
when the fruit wllll bo used on the
table, the department says. Thore will
apparently bo nn Increased ncroagc ot
both canoiind beet sugar this yoar In
tho Unita.d Slates Cuba and In othor
countrlos in the Northern Homlaphore
The rise In the price of sugnr has en
couragod Increased plantings of cane
and beets.
In spite ot a world shortage of sugar
und n decrease of 400,000,000 pounds
In domestic productlbn, there has been
used or hoarded during tho current
year In tho United States 15 per cent
moro sugar than In former years. In
fact, n greater supply of sugar than
ever before has been handled in this
country during tho past few months,
with not Imports 25 per cent or over
1,000,000,000 .pounds, greater than In
nny provlous period. It Is obvious,
therefore, that hero has been no actu-
sugar shortago hero this year. The
difficulties encountered havo arlson
from the Inability of tho consumor to
secure his share of the supply. Unless
enormously Incrcnsed amounts have
been, consumed, tho trouble must be
laid tp hoarding, and It Is very evident
that largo quantities are being held
for future nso both by housewives and
commercial concerns.
During the past 50 years tho con
sumption ot sugar In the United Sta
tes has steadily increased, at an aver
age annual rate of one pound a year,
until in tho last few years tho average
yearly ipor capita consumption for all
purposes is botween 85 and 90 pounds.
This compnrcs with a per capita con-
sumjptlon of 58.9 pounds in 1899. The
increased consumption of sugar by the
soft-drink, candy nnd ice cream Indus
tries during recent years has helped
raise tho total average, but to what
extent is not known. The Packer.

ENGAGED IN SPLENDID WORK
New York School Devoted to tho Task
of Making Cripples and Unfortu
nates Self-supporting.
From his association with the late
Rev. II. lloswell Bates, founder of tho
Neighborhood house, George A. Mer-
rltt learned how little was being dono
to mnko cripples self-supporting and
how common, almost universal, was
the belief that owing to various afflic
tions these unbnppy ones must always
bo a burden on' others. This was not
his belief, and so strong did ho hold
nn opposite conviction that, with the
aid of a few cbnritablo persons whom
he Inspired with It, ho founded the
Path school atG0 West Twenty-Flth
street, New York, In order to teach
cripples commercial nnd railroad teleg
raphy and thus glvo to tnem tnat
greatest boon, u means of livelihood.
This school Is still young, but It has
nlrendy proved Itself many times over.
It trains legless, armless, and de
formed persons, but especially the
young who nro thus nffllcted, .either In.

some other lino most suitable to Indi
vidual cases. It Is free to nil, non-sec-tarlnn!

Why Ship Is Feminine.
A ship Is Invariably spoken of as
of the feminine gender; this Is traced
to tho ancient Greeks, who called nil
ships feminine names out of respect
to Athene, goddess of tho sou. Friday
Is believed to bo nn unlucky dny by
those who nro superstitious. It Is de
rived from tho fact It wns tho dny of
Christ's crueltlxlon, as well as the ono
oil which Adam nnd Evo nto the for
bidden fruit. Few, perhaps, nro
aware, why n weather-cock Is fre
quently ntfached to n church steeple.
Tills Is believed to remind peoplo of
Peter's denial of Christ. It Is a com
mon belief that peacock's feathers are
unlucky. Tills Is due to the tradition
thnt the bird opened tho gate of para
dise to the serpent.
