No. 63
VOTE BRIDGE
BONDS TODAY
i
EVERY CITIZEN VOTER SHOULD
00 TO THE POLLS AND VOTE
FOR THE BONDS.
v Lincoln COunty must have bridges
nnd culverts. The people must puy
for them. The question now before the
people Is.whqthor they would prefer
tb issue bonds nnd pay a small u
mount each year for twenty years or
pay It by direct taxation In a year or
two.. Bocauso roady money is Bcarco
now, the Board of County Commis
sioners decided not to try to ralso the
money by taxation but to ask the peo
ple to voto bonds. If the bonds fall
today, then taxation is the only meth
od loft. Thoro are hundreds of wood
en culverts in Lincoln County all
need repairing. Once in a while ono
gives away and Lincoln County has r.
damago suit to pay. Officials say
that moro than $5,000 has ben paid
out during the past year on account
of damage suits brought against the
County on account of broken culverts.
The issue of $105,000 distributed over
the whole county makes a very small
amount for any 'one person. Last
week the county officials gave out fig
ures which showed that tho yearly tax
for this bond issue would bo less than
fifty cents on the best housos In North
Platte and not much over one dollar
forthe best quarter sections in tho
County. Every person who drives or
rides in an automobile should be
working for the bonds. Every person
who has a truck or tractor or thrcsh
outfit should be working for tho
"bonds. Every business man in North
Platto, Hershey, Sutherland, Brady
and Maxwell should be working for
the bonds. Farmers cannot corrio to
town to trade if the bridge is not re
placed and if culverts are not install
ed. Women can vote as well as men.
Every person who is opposed to the
bonds will HC'at the pofll3'touay. rnoso"
who are in favtfr or Indifferent will
have to rouse themselves or they will,
fall to vote. Lincoln County needs
bridges and culverts. The CommIs-
sioners are, honest men and they have
explained the proposition fully so that
all may know just what is needed.)
Now it is the duty of the citizens of
this- county to vote.
From the communications received
wo print the two following: j
After duly considering the bond
proposition as called by the County
Commissioners I believe it to bo the
only fair and just way. j
I believe it will cost all of $50,000
to repair tho said Osgood bridge.
I believe It Is a' much needed pub
lic improvement.
Pe"rh"ap8 the other bridge was not
put In correctly; this I do not know
as I am not a bridge builder and
would not be a competent judge, but
I do know It Is gone and our tem
porary bridge Is unsafe and I think
vc should rebuild thle bridge at tho
earliest dat'o possible
Wo might bo Oaught In tho middle
of tlio wlntor without a bridge when
wo Could not repair or fix a tem
porary one.
As a tax payor I am going to sup
port those bonds and I hope everyone
will, as 1 believe It Is tho only Just
way to treat Osgood precinct.
Yours respectfully,
FRED E. PAYNE.
As a business man and after hav

One of the ways ln which tho boy,
scout movement responds to the in- i
terosts of uoy llfo Is through tho hike. !
This Is the means used by the Bcout-'
master to lnculato tho lessons which'
ho wishes tho boy to learn and ho can I
do It without making It too much like
school. "When on tho hike each Boy is
tho equal of overy other boy If ho can
do things. Tho poor boy stands ns
good a chanco as the rich boy, tho
alow boy can do as much as the quick
lad and the maimed can often accomp
lish what tho strong youth Is unablo
to accomplish. There are things to be
"done with tho hands, others with the
feet and others with tho head. There
can bo no snobbory where only true
worth Is rewarded. For Instance, all
boys are to loavo this evening on a
hiko to Hall's Orovo whore tho first;
tenderfoot Investiture service over j
hold In North Platte' will" lie 'put oh.
before dark. All scouts aro urged to'
go along. Tho scout masters will be
thero as far as posslble.When the big '
camp opons at' Camp Roberts nextj
week It Is expected that every stout
will hike to tho camp while his heavy
baggage Is taken by truck.

Judge tfyese FACTS
about l-
Dodge Brothers
motor car
Pact No. 1. Sales of Dodge Brothers cars almost ev
ery where have been two and three times as
large as those of any formerly competing make.
Surely you have noticed that this is true in North
Platte.
Fact No. 2. Value of the new Dodge models with
over $200 in improvements and $310 to $365 re
duction in price is apparent to everyone.
Fact No. 3. Service is built into these good cars, and
our after service is complete with all necessary
parts right here in North Platte for our custom
ers. Repair part prices also reduced and about
half wtiat most makers charge.
Fact No. 4. Dependability of these oars is attested by
over 600,000 owners in tho U. S. A., and over 700
owners in my local territoiy. Ask any one of
them.
