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.

which were of valuo In the mechahlcal
department and when tho oppor
tunity offered sho worked on tho

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.

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,

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.
