"How?" said Mr. Wrlgloy. "Why, in

foollHh to advertlso any moro." "Mv
friend," sap Mr. Wrlgloy, "do you
know what woul happen If wo wero
to cut tho.onglno off this train?''
"Yes," said tho friend, "tho train
wnuM coast along for 'a whllo and then
stop." "Right you nro," said tho gum
manufacturer. "That U just what my

Whon tho winner rocolvcs a prlzo fot

Prlzo fighting was logallzed by tho

some stringent rules wero made to
keep it within bounds. The North
Platte Oity Council passed an or
dinance tho other night legalizing it
within tho city limits of North Platto.
Tho ordinance forblJdlng prlzo fight
ing In North Platto was found to bo
in conflict Wlthjho stato laws and so
it was repealed and that makes It
legal. Tho state ltrw sayB that a prlzo
fight must he held undet tho auspices
of an organization which is Incorpor
ated uiidcr the laws of tho state of
Nebraska and that this organization
must bo at least ono year old. It
provJJos that tho flghtors, tho offi
cials, tho promoters and tho managers
must bo licensed by tho stato nnd a
Hcenso must bo secured for each fight.
In case of abuse the Hcenso is revok
ed. It Is claimed that tho whole matter
Is to bo brought out of tho dark, that
a fight Is to bo called a fight and that
it will bo Just what It is represented
to bo. Tho first fight urjior tho new

CHANCE TO SMILE
Tho determination with which the
grain dealers of tho country have un
dertaken to protect tho farmers from
Iobsos by a mistake of Judgment in
Joining the wheat growers or the
gralrTgrowers affords the gent on the
fence a Just cause nnd splendid op
portunity for laughing. Grain hand
ling is a legitimate business anl
grain handlers havo performed a
necessary part In tho marketing of
our crops. Just at the present tlmo
they are threatened with a loss of
tholr occupation by tho movement on
tho part of the farmers to do this
work thru their co-operativo associa
tions and cooperatively between them
selves. Quite naturally thoy aro seek
lug a living, and thoir first object ot
attack Is tho now Bystom proposed.
What causes us to smile is tho in
tunso fervor and apparent earnestness
with which they argue tho matter
and reek to jdrivo their points home.
Tho fact la tho grain (dealers have be
gun too late.. Thoy woro warned re
peatedly to take steps to rid their
business of tbo parasites, tho gamb
lers, but only n fow of them were eve
greatly concerned about it. Now tho
farmers aro determined to go thru
with their experiment of doing tholr
own marketing. Tolling them they
will lose money by it is tHvice thrown
tc tho winds. Tho co-operatlqn that
ought to havo been tho concorn of. tho
f.raln dealer In tho past, meaning his
own co-operation with tho grain pro
ducer, l" past trying out, at least Just
now. State Journal.

Mildew Stains.
Wet the goods and put soap on tho
stained parts, then rub salt nnd lemon
Juice Into the mildew.' Afterward np-
ply powdered chalk and expose article
to the sun and nlr for several hours.
Another method Is to use the pow
dered chalk alone, rubbing well into
the stains, or soaking It In buttermilk
and rubbing salt Into It, afterward
laying the goods on the grass to dry
In the sun. :
Labrador's Name.
It Is believed that Labrador was so
named because Portuguese explorers
thought the natives would make good
Inborws or slaves. The Labrador
const was discovered In the Tenth cen
tury by Lelf, the Norsemnn, but no
explorations were mnde! It was again
discovered In 1407 by John Cnbot. Ex
plorations and settlements were made
and the peninsula was named.
Play the Game.
Nothing matters so very much after
all. If a man only plays a man's part.
It Is not so much what we call our
success or our failures, but what we
bring out of them, that counts. It Is
doing our'lies?t and doing It bravely
unto the end. Happiness nnd much
that wo call success arc only by-prod
ucts of life's great work.
Force of Gravity.
Force of gravity varies according to
height nbove sen level and distance
from the equntor. As the force of
gravity Is 112.1(112 feet a second In
New York, 32.1528 feet a second in
San Francisco and :52.1184 In Key
West, an object would weigh most In
New York and least In Floridn.
How Ohio River Got Name.
Tbo Allegheny and Ohio rivers were
regarded by the French as one stream.
The name given by them, La Belle
Riviere (the beautiful river). Is a
translation of tbo Seneca term ''Ho-he-yu,"
changed by the whites, both
English and French, at a Inter date
Into Ohio.
Wise Words Concerning Advice.
Give thy friend counsel wisely' nnd
charitably, but leave him to his liberty
whether be follow thee or no;
nnd bo not nngry If thy counsel be re
jected, for advice Is no empire, and
he Is not my friend that will bo my
Judge whether I will or no. Jeremy
Taylor.

IS BETTER THAN
HEN you order a piece of goods by
mail, yoit know nothing about the
tjuality of the article delivered until
it has been tested by use. Having
been used and found wanting, you
have to golo the trouble of sending
it a long distance back for long-distance
satisfaction, a very rare bird
indeed. r
Trade ia a home store and you
get quality. The local merchant
must, carry quality or his neighbors
will not trade with him. And if
there has been bad quality acciden
tally, it is only a step into his store
to show him the error.
The merchants of our town have
both quality and price. If you will
only figure out the common sense
of it, you will find that it is cheaper
run, and the short run, too.
