Dear Bd: Tho othor day when wo wore goInK over to tho North I'latto Alroraft Co. to sue about a trip to Lincoln next month wo hud a man toll us that thoy are going to repeal tiro curfow ordin ance lioro in Norm rinue. you re member, Kd, how tho firo whistle blows at about nlno o'clock ovory night especially when thbro is a con cert or lecture. Woll if thoy repoal tho curfow tho whlstlo will not blow. Kd! wo think you should pass a law making It nccosSary for ovcry city of ton thousand people to havo a fire whlstlo blow nt nine o'clock ovory night whether there l a concert or a lecture or not. It means that tho government stops in and attends to what tho neglectful parents have for gotten and tho wayward boys nnd girls rush for homo nnd bed when thoy hoar that whistle. It Is a grand J-'AKMEIt JMUGHT flKASSliOri'EKS JIV THE HUSHEL WITH HIS AUTO. ..1 LOCAL AND PERSONAL Tho nows Horn in another column concerning tho shipment of Lincoln bought of all chlldron turning their County hogs to bo sent to San Fran- . tepB toward homo at that early hour. Cisco by Ed Todonhoft should Intorout our fartnors nnd stockralsors. If North Platte can becomo a good hog market and Lincoln County farmors will tal.o advnntago of .this fact, It will react to tho advantago of all con cerned. Wowould urgo all farmers interested In hog shipment to lnvcs fipau thlr proposition. ::o:: Tho Tribune rcgrcta that it Is not posslblo for such a man as Warrant Offlcor Johnson of tho Army Itccrult ing Service, to receive a promotion and still stay with Us in North Platte. During tho moro than a year that tho editor has known him, ho has been impressed with his attention to de tail, .hla soldierly bearing and hla uniform courtesy. Tho army Is tho only thing that stands between law and order and somo of tho unorganiz ed foes of society. Wo appreciate tho United States army and wo appreciate having men of character represent it in our mtdst.Wo wish Mr. Johnson, good luck. u-:;o:: - Then again Ed, It koepa tho House hold clocks and many of tho watches se,t according to tho right time. When the cdrfow blows, wo always look at our watch and If It is not exactly nine o'clock we sot tho watch. Tho next nlcht wo havo to set It again. Tho government should give us the correct tlmo each day nnd that is the best way wo know. Thon again Ed, It saves the parents who aro off at church or at a danco or at a club or a party, from being wor ried for thoy know that at nine tfclock when the curfow blows their children will go homo and go, to bed It Is such a relief to tho over-worked parents. Then ngaln, Ed, it causes visitors to romomber our town. No lecturer or public spoakcr for clihu auqua, lecturo course lodge, church, " cham- bor of comtnerco or other organiza- atlon will over forget the clear blast ending in a shrill shl6k, which start led him when ho had reached tho most dramatic part of his discourse. Such a man could nover iorgot Nortu Platte. Thon again, Ed, it saves many a man from a sleepless night bccauBo of dogs howling for you remember, they all howl at onco when tho curfew blows nnd got It out of their sysloms ho thoy can sottlo down to a good I night's sleop and let peoplo sleep too. ' Thon again, Ed, it is so comforting o Know mat in case or tire tno A. J. Montgomery, a western far mor Is authority for tho following whroh tvo plckcdupthls week. He says tho grasshoppors wero bad last year so he rigged up a trough of sheet iron made lOl&ft. long 14 inchos wide anu u incuos ueep wuu somo uivisions in it. In Hub he put water with ker- osone oil on lop of it. Ho hung the trough in front of his Ford car by swinging two 12-foot scantlings under tho axle, lotting them extend out in front so thoro was roGm to crank the car and steer It On the back of this trough he built a backstop of 'screen vlrc. In one evening nfter tho grass hoppers had gone to roost bo drove the car through tho moadow and got ton bushols of thorn. IK- got twenty bushels off his young wheat field an other evening In tho snin' manner. Lookout Campflro held Its regular meeting at tho homo of Lorotta Hog sett last week. It was .i ceremonial meeting and Tlielma Starr and Dor othy VanCloavo wore given tho rank of woodgatheror.

It was ouo hundred years ago that Ecuador liberated Itself from Spanish rule. To commemornte the anniver sary, Ecuador has Issued a series with nineteen denominations one centnvo to one sucre each bearing a portrait of some man who won renown In Ecuador's history. The dates 1820 and 1020 nre a part of the design. Greatly to tho surprlso of collectors, no 20 centavo denomination appeared ns, part of the set, for Ecuador's sets for forty years have Included one of that value. Inquiry brought 'the disclosure that fi'J.OOO copies of n 20-centavo wero printed, but the value description, volute, meaning "twenty," was through an error spelled vlento Instead. The postal authorities destroyed the entlro lot, and n 20-centnvo will appear as soon us a new plnte has been made. Youth's Companion. Comment "Sarkastlc.
