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

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

Ecuador.
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.

A novel fcuturo of Ozchoslovak for
est development Is tho principle that
tho nnnunl growth must equal or ex
ceed tho annul cut. This is a wise- nnd
fnrslghtcd policy. It is estimated that
0,000,000 cubic meters of Dro wood
and 0,400,000 cubic meters of commer
cial timber arc cut yearly, Tho nuan
,'tlty used for fuel during and sinco the
war will be greatly reduced, In tho
very nenr future, through stimulated
production of bituminous coal, lignite
and oil, At tho prevailing prices for
lumber competent authorities estimate
the value of tho annual timber cut i
be about $120,000,000.
