, Tho Lincoln County Agricultural
society was represented yesterday at
a meeting of all agricultural and fair
associations at Lincoln by Jim Wil
son. He was the delegate appointed
to confer with tho delegates from the
, other county fairs in Nebraska and
decides some of tho mo3t perplexing
J points which have and may como
up.
Repairs to tho. building used by R.
P. Zents Plumbing and Heating Co.,
aro about completed and business le
going alongabout as usual there. Mr.
Zents " says the firo was probablr
caused by sparks getting down bo
tween tho outer and inner walls as
inspection after tho firo showed that
tho top had not been well protected
This has now been remedied and he
is fixing up tho interior to suit the
nature of his business.
At one time during tho past year
it was thought that tho Chamber of
Commerce could dispense .with a clerk
in the office of the secretary but after
trying it for a time it was decided
that, a clerk is worth more than she
costs. Tho secretary must bo on tho
street much of tho time and if no one
Is on hand at tho headquarters to
answer telephone calls and receive
callers and visitors, general dissatis
faction results. Chamber of Commerce
is a business organization and its
headquarters must bo maintained as
business offices should bo maintained.
Many people In North Platte mav
not know that the first act of Ira
L. Bare when elected secretary of the
Chamber of Commorco was to ask
that his salary bo cut $100 a month.
That was moro than a year ago and
his salary has been cut over since.
At tho same time tho salary of tho
office girl was cut $15 a month mak-
in a total saving on salaries of $1,3S0.
(Certainly no oig can accuso Ira Bare
(of being socrotnry of tho Chambor of
Commorco for tho monoy there is in
it.
Acting upon tho recommendation
of Attorney William E. Shuman, tho
preaidont of tho Chambor of Com
xuprco has appointed the following
commltteo to handle tho tolephono
