LODGE, CHURCH
AND SOCIETY
Gregg Bros, havo a reputation for
having raised more melons this year
than any other farmers near here.
Yesterday one of tho boys said thoy
had disposed of their entire crop and
that whllo tho price was not as good
as thoy havo. been getting for them,
there was a ready sale. Ho estimated
that they had disposed of twenty
thousand melons during tho season.
This includes watermelons, musk
melons and cantaloupes.
Cards were received here yesterday
announcing tho birth of a baby boy
to Mr. and Mrs. Earl G. Lovick at
Wichita, Kansas. Mr. Lovick is Credit
Manager of tho Whito Eaglo Oil Co.
of that place. He will bo remombarel
in connection with the North Platte
Credit Association, which he founded
in company with Mr. Bonner. The
Tribune extends congratulations to
Mr. and Mrs. Lovick.
Tho two sons of Walter Spurrier,
each backed by a sistor entered tho
lists for premiums at the Fair and
entered against each other. One owns
tho herd of Hampshire sheep and tho
other, tho herd of Shropshlres. Ufl to
last night, no one had been found who
would undertake to decide which herd
should have first place. It was rumor
ed that a well qualified man had been
discovered who was leaving for an ex
tended trip and efforts were being
mado to' get him t- render a decision
Just before his train left
Tho Boy Scout work goes merrily
on. The Council has employed Elmer
L. Stephens as Scout Executive for
half time. He Is employed by the
Board of Education during half of
each day and so divides tho expense
but givos his whole tlmo to tho boys'
work, in tho school and out. Boys
aro asking for admission to tho scouts
every day. Scoutmasters aro scarce.
Now troops could bo organized If
scoutmasters could be secured. The
boys now in tho organization aro kept
at work and awarding of lTonors goa.

tained through pledges payable quar
terly. The Treasurer says that a nuin-i
her are behind in the third quarter

Following the announcement of

largo crowd gathered at tho Fair
grounds and after tho entertainment
on the platform, enjoyed a wonder
ful display. There Is a certain lan
guage used by the manufacturers
which describes the different kinds
of fireworks but wo havo not acqulr
ed this language and so cannot tell
tho names or kinds of fireworks
which we saw. Wo doubt if many
of our' readers cotild understand us
if we knew tho fireworks language.
However we did seo some beautful
set pieces and some awe-Inspiring
cloudland effects. We heard enough
peoplo speak favorably of tho fire
works to believe wo were right when
wo said it was one of the best ever
seen hero.
