No. GG NATIONAL AND STATE OFFICIALS "VISIT CITY AND CONSIDER CHANGE National" Secretary Holgo and wlfo and State Counsel Walz, Loth of tho Lincoln Highway Association were in North Plntto yesterday. They woro conferring with local officials of tho Lincoln Highway in regard to matters of business. In company with some of tho road and highway men they visited tho Lincoln Hignwny on tho north side and considered changing tho route from Twelfth to Ninth street. After crossing tho Union Pac ific tracks on Locust street, tho route Is north on Locust to Twolfth and thence west on Twolfth to tho Cody Itanch. It is proposed to chango tho routo so that after crossing tho tracks on Locust it turns west on Ninth street and boyond tho city limits It angles over to tho Cody Ranch road. Tt is said tho proposed route would do away with tho sharp curvo near tho cemetery whero at least two auto drivers havo met death. Tho twelfth street Toad is along tho city limits and is neither city nor county. It is not paved and there is probably little prospect of its being paved for many years to come. The Ninth stroet route is now being paved for sevon blocks and this will likely bo continued west to tho city limits as soon as it can be arranged. Tho local party which in spected tho proposed route included A. B. Hoagland, Lincoln County Coun sel, B. F. Seoborgcr, District Co.unsel, Mayor H. H. Evans, Engineer It.- L. Cochran and others. Tho enterprise of tho Ninth street residents in get ting the paving started this year is in part responsible" for tlio ""suggestion that such enterprise be rewarded by putting Ninth stroet on the Lincoln Highway, tho greatest nation road in tho world. Tho matter has not yet been settled but if the peoplo affected will urge it unitedly it will become a fact boforo long.

We havo been asked several times lately how we hold so much business when everybody is saying business is poor. Our answer has been ''Full Weight at the Right Price with Service." When you buy a bushel o! potatoes and they are delivered in a basket, do you get 60 lbs.? When you buy a peck, is it 15 lbs. or is it a 14 lb. sack full? When you buy a pound of coun try butter, do you get a pound or do you just get a print? We weigh everything that is sup posed to be sold by weight and guarantee ful weight. So bewere of the measure, they hardly ever hold out. Let us prove this to you. 1 A FEW SPECIALS FOR SATURDAY AND MONDAY, .
