Wo liavo Invited Mr. Evans to use an equal amount of space In regard to his candidacy. Wo do this without charge tliat tho facts may bo" presented to tho votors by tho men who know. ThiB is our contri bution to tho campaign to elect a now chief exccutlvo for our city. -::o:: Recording to tho report of those vrfio havo mado a study of tho subject, thoro is no reason why Lincoln County Hb'outd not produce a great deal more honey than It has produced In tho past. This part of tho stato Is tho homo of alfalfa which is tho sourco of somo of tho finest honey sold, Tho cllmato Ik said to bo favorablo to tho health of tho bees, tho weather ls mild enough during most of tho year to al low of active work with tho hives and top enemies aro few or easily com batted Of courso thcro aro dlfflcul tie's about tho work and occasionally some losses but tho prices aro good and tho amount of tlmo spent in care of bees Is not large. Lincoln County should have tnoro than 722 stnnds of been. In noting in another column, tho marriago of MIsb Eva Dick and hor removal from North Platto, tho editor reserved for his own column, montlon of what it means to tho Tribune. A nfintbor of years ngo, Miss Dick came irito tho Trlbuno forco as offlco girl. Bho early showed thoso qualities which were of valuo In the mechahlcal department and when tho oppor tunity offered sho worked on tho llnotypo mnchlno until sho was ""when sho quit, tho most accurato and tho fastest linoir.'f oporator in tho city. She took charge of sovoml depart ments, of tho papor and was always on tho Job when wanted. If tho TibUno falls In reaching any of Its subscribers In as good shnpo ns usual Just blamo Poto Stowart for taking Eva Dick away. t::o:: It occurs to us that North Platto cfttzeno and business men aro caroloss In showing appreciation of groups of visitors who como to our city. It may bo that. wo aro so busy with our own littlQ affairs that wo do not caro whon a group of pooplo from othor places como to our city as guests of soma of our homo organizations. Soma years wo attended a meeting of a stato . organization dovoted to tho stuny of1 the- birds ot Nebraska. Tho meeting Ivldtml citizen to pro-para for these octlRloiiH on Ills own initlatlvo and It might bo well for somo committee of the Chambor of Commorcg to select those occasions when It would be fit ting and Inform tho cltlzons or the kind, color and occasion for decorat ing. At any rate tho thing nhould bo dono In somo wny and tho aooner wo got dt It tho better. l'liu Consumers' Oil and Refining Co. of Kansas City has secured a ten ycarleaso on tho Otton property at tho .corner of Front and Locust and wlirbrcct a moden supply And filling station thcro at an approximate re ported cost of $18,000. i'Mi pounds of wclnlqtf and 1 quarts of.iRauer Kraut for 50o, Wednesday ottly, Martl's Market. ;Tho financial campaign for tho Boy Scouts which started yesterday morn ing was continued with d meeting at tho Franklin Auditorium last even ing. W. J. Hondy, J. E. Sebastian, C. J. Hollman and W. M. Barrlball addressed tho meeting and the rest of tho tlmo was taken up with stunts by tho Scouts. The court room was filled last night at a mooting of Shuman boosters who hoard tho platform of the citizen's ' party read by Mr. Shuman and com- pleted tho organization of the ward . committee. The body decided to hold , another meeting at tho Methodist ! church next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock whon tho details of tho elec tion will-be taken up. Orvlllo John son was chairman of tho meeting. . "O" ' CIVIC ORDINANCE IN JAPAN STATEMENT Word has come to!ds,of a report in business circles that the Tribune does not have as many subscribers as it once had. This report'is false. The Tribune came under the present management on July first, 1921 and since that time the. number of subscribers has slightly increased.. We have dropped quite a number of suscrlbers who were far in arrears from our mailing list but their places have been taken by new names. In every case the new names have been paid-up subscriptions. The actual number of copies of the Semi-Weekly Tribune put through our press every issue is never less than 2,310 and often runs as high ari 2,390. " CITY CIRCULATION We are now distributing within the city lim its of North Platte oyer one thousand copies' of the Tribuno each issue. This is more copies of each issue than is distributed by any other publi cation of any kind per issue. COUNTY CIRCULATION Outside of the city limits there are about one thousand papers distributed in Lincoln County We are told that this is more copies per issue dis tributed in Lincoln County outside of North Platte than is distributed by any other paper per Issue. i j j I The Semi -Weekly Tribune All Hucs Have Tablet Telling Nam of tho Responsible Dweller Within the Walls. In Japan you can learn a good many things about tho resident of a house merely by looking at his door. Ac cording to police regulations, says a writer in Chambers' Journal tho en trance to every residence roust have a small wooden tablet affixed to it. This tablet has tho name and the number of the house on It, and on another tablet Is tho namo of the responsible house holder, who in nrfiny cases Is an In fant, n younger brother of n relative. Sometimes, though rarely, tho names of other Inmates are placed over the door, but thero Is no pollco regulation that requires It, except In tho case of boarding houses, which have to placb their boarders' names outside for all to seo. A person fortunato enough to possess a telephone always has the number proudly displayed over his en trance. Near it you will often see a quaint enameled or tin disk. That Is tho flro Insurance mark. Every fire Insurance company has Us own special metal plate, which It nails to tho lintel when It Insures a house. Thoro are always several small pieces of paper pasted over tho door, NORTH PLATTE THE COUNTY .SEAT PAPER was held at Auburn, Ncbr. Tho or- placed thero by the pollqe. Ono Is to ganlzatlon IS called tho Nobraska ) certify that tho periodical oshojl, or Ornithologists Union. Tho Auburn great cleaning, has taken' place. An. npostors Wriiitcd to show their appro- oU,er paper tells us, perhaps, that tho fei Ur Til" g' ,VVQt,8ltary conditions are satisfactory, havo any colors niuHthoy didn't know lWh. .,, lu . ' nnL that wo hnd any motto or emblom. So thoy went to tho printing offlco and hi) Homo cards. struck off with tho words "Welcome Ornithologists" on them and whon wo reached tho city wo found thoso, cards in nil tho dlsplny windows, In tho offices and In tto win dp.ws' of tho homos. It sure made a hlwjth tho scoro or more of moil nnd wqmen who visited that city. Tomor row wo aro to havo loading mon of tho KlwnniH Clubs of Nobraska horo Hi North Platte.

Perhaps It In too much to export tho ADVERTISEMENT ' . Having more than twice the circulation in Lincoln County of any other paper, The Tribune represents more than twice the value as an ad vertising medium. But the rates are, practically the same as other papers. We charge 25 cents a column inch for display and 10 cents a line for 0 locals and want-ads. JOB PRINTING We have master printers in our commercial . printing department and give prompt service, full count, clean -work, and do it in a workman like manner.

JLilLWCTaw mm mmm START NG- & LIGHTING 'Prttl-O.LUe, the Hatttrt oftune Vowtr A mighty thrust for the quick start with "repeat" ability . THERE was once a Motor ist who Never Started Out without plenty of Gas, Oil and Water. And he Let It Go at That. Not once did he consider the Fourth Unit Battery Juice until : One night, after a day of many stops and starts, lie put his foot on the starter and called for another start. But there was nothing left in the little black box. And the starter's alibi was : "No bat. tery reserve power". The Prcst-O'Litc Battery, uses less titan one four-hundredth of its power reserve for a single start; and the generator quickly replaces that. LeMaster Bldg. Tel. 731.
