You Can Bet Your Bottom $ There'll Be Something Doing A million und a half fanners have banded together for the sake of our American farm industry. Clear purposed, keen minded and alert, they are fully aware of the magnitude of tho many problems they have undertaken to solve and they ar6 imbued with determination to "stick" to the finish. These farmers are made up of the fanners of Nebraska and of Lincoln County and they propose to carry out their plans through the organizations of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation and the American Farm Bureau Federa tion. 'j FARMING Imb gained recognition an tho great wealth producing In dustry of tho country; farmora of tlrn Nebraska Farm IJurcau Feder ation can demand and expect tho co-oporatlon of all related Industries In tho solution of the problems which, whllo peculiarly tho farmer's arc essentially the nations. "With! every farmer In Lincoln County, In Nebraska and the United States thoy can bo solved. TKANSPORTATIOS Tho farmer Is one of tho chief user of tho railroads both as a producer" nd as a consumer. Ho has a right to a volco In their administration. Tho freight sorvlco must bo lmndlcd that cars are available to market his crops. Water transportation Ib shcaper than rail and should bo a materially' helpful complement to tho railroad systems. Tho farmer wants an ocean port facing both tho (Atlantic and tho Gulf. Ifo want good roads for local transportation, Ills business needs them It Is to tho country's good t o see that ho gots them. WHY THE TARIFF LEGISLATION Tho debased money of foreign nations rodnces their producing cost In comparison with ours. Tho farmers of the United States are faced with Uie llklihood of a dumping of chcuR foreign farm produce on our markets to compete with the native crops. Some method must be de vised to prevent such a disaster and yet give foreign nations every chance to build up a credit by creating an export trade. CREDITS FOR MARKETLNt! Adequate transportation will help to solvo the problems of distributive marketing, but it won't prevent dumping immediately tm harvest, with tho resultant shattered market and crushing losses to tho form indus try llko thoso of 1920. Tho farmer needs credit to market his crops gradually to meet tho actual consumer demand and ho needs crodlt to pay transportation to markets whore his produce Istiocded. Our pres ent credit system, based on a 60-day paper, will not provide It. Some method must bo devised to enable tho farmer to borrow money on paper maturing at distributed Intervals during tho fall, winter and spring. Ills business needs such credit It is to the nation's interest to sco that ho gets it. A CREDIT FOR WOULD MARKETING Many of our crops are raised partly for forclgu consumplon. On thoso crops Is largely based our foreign trade. Because tho world owes tho United States immense sums, tho money of many European, countries is almost worthless for purchasing in this country. They hao not as yet got sufficiently readjusted to have goods to trade. Something must bo done to enable them to buy. Tho American Foreign Finance Com mission, recently formed, will holp, but Its capitalization Is only a bun' dred million dollars. A PROTECTION AGAINST INDIVIDUAL BANKRUPTCY Tho market break of 1920 cost the American farmer from five to sev en billions of dollars. No other Industry could have absorbed bucIi a loss; tho farming industry can't do It year after year. In many cases It has swept away tho patient work of a decado, has robbed tho farmer not only of every cent of his year's profits, but has eaten far into his principal and nullified the labor o fyears. It must not happen again. WHAT THE AMERICAN FAItM "I RUAU FEDERATION CAN 1)0 BETTER PRICES l'OIl YOUIt PRODUCTS , Do you want a fair prlco for your wheat and livestock? Tho American Farm Bureau Federation Is at work dovoloplng a plan of marketing grain to eliminate speculation, etablllzo markta and lnsuro a reasonable return to farmers. Tho Commlttco of Sovontcon is mado up of exports In grain marketing, representing all farmers' organizations. A similar committee as been appointed to tako up livestock marketing. AN UNFAIR LAND TAX Would you caro to havo tho Nolan bill becomo a law? Tho Nolan bill provides a 1 tpor cont tax on all land values nbovo 10,000 but exompts improvements; attempts to shift moro of tho taxes on to farm land and off all other property. It nimB to rorco down the price of land and. farm products while holding up wage scales. Tho American Farm Bureau Federantlon Is fighting this proposal. It has.over 300,000 organized farmers on record against It. Congress will go slow In passing to Nolan bill at tho behest of organized labor and manufacturing interests with tho farmers solid against It and organized In tho American Farm Bureau Federation. DAYLIGHT SAYING LAW REPEALED Do you appreciate tho repeal of the Daylight Saving Law ? Tile American Farm Bureau Federation is directly responsible for tho re peal of thlB law over tho president's veto. The Federation, through Its officers, mado Congress understand that tho law was working a hard- You will be asked to join tho Lincoln County Farm Bureau. Read the Farm Bureau literature that has been sent you , ho will see that you get full infonnation rgarding the organization. ship to farmers, and that tho farmers wore organized in opposition to it Congress repealed tho law. These aro only a few of tho important measures the American Fann Bureau is at work on. THE LINCOLN COUNTY FARM BUREAU Tho Lincoln County Farm Bureau Is working with and thru tho Stat,e Farm Bureau Federation to support tho big constructive program of tho American Farm Bureau 'Fedoraton. Every farm bureau member has a direct part in the Couty, State and American Farm Bureau work. The farmer who joins his county farm bureau automatically becomes a member of tho Nebraska State Fann Bureau and the American Farm Bureau Federation. If you have not received it call up the County Agent and NEXT WEEK, MARCH 28 The "Kickoff" meetings of the Membership Campaign will be held at the Court House in North Platte next Monday afternoon, Marcli 28, starting at 2:00 o'clock, and at Wal lace at 2:00 p. m.

Guy Swopc says to call It "Tho North Platto Boosters." Someone else may havoui bettor nnjno to suggest. On& of tho Boy Scouts brought us several blood sucking leeches which ho caught In a .pond near town. Tho'so animals aro hard to doscrlbo but most pcoplfi, who havo boon In tho wntor :r- much know of thorn. Thoy can swim qulto well and go from placo to placu largely In that manner.

Tiioy navo no uoijes bo can contract th.omaolvos into un nhribst oval shapo and again can elongato tho bpdy so It Is something llko an angle worm. Young onos aro' attached to tho bnck of tho old ones In two cases. Thoro are merchants In Lincoln and adjoining countleB who aro sore at North Platto bocauso tho people of tholr communities go to North Platte to trade. North Platto merchants are pooved at local pooplo who go to Omaha to buy clothing, furniture, utc. Tho Omaha papers occasionally com plain that some of tholr citizens go east fur their high priced purchases, whllo we havo records of New York papers mourning over tho lack of patriotism of thoso of tholr eltlzons who go to Paris for tnoir stylos. Some' day wo may learn that It Is us ually to our advantago to buy at home and tho most substantial of our clt Izoub do buy every thing posslblo In tho "homo market.

But that Is a last resort of the truo homo patriot and not tho vulo t Tho plan of tho Amorlcun Legion to build an Auditorium and club houso for North Platto has our unqualified' upproval as a gonoral proposition.
