—— .— " ■ I 'll ... .. SECURE A FARM IN North platte VALLEY THE NORTH PLATTE VALLEY, frequently called the “Scottsbluff country,” is making a more wonderful showing every year in its production of irrigated crops—sugar beets, alaflfa, potatoes, wheat and oats; it is becoming one of the richest localities for breeding and fattening of live stock. Many Government irrigated holdings of 160 acres are being reduced to 80 acres, making it possible for land seekers to secure 80-acre tracts irrigated under the reliable system of the Government on terms that will never again be duplicated. All we can ask is that you visit the Valley and let our agents put you in touch with reliable firms. Ask about the crop tonnage, the increased population, and note the general prosperity; this will tell you what advance in land values you may expect there in the next five years. Or, write for the Burlington’s new publication, “North Platte Valley.” Let me’help you go there and see for your self this locality which is the talk of the West. S. B.

The publisher of the Standard Dic tionary amusingly defends the letter “e” thus: ’’Some one has advanced the opinion that the letter “e” is the most unfortunate character in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out | of danger and in hell all the time. But we call his attention to the fact that “e” is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of exis tance, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there would be no meat, no life, no heaven. It is of honesty, makes life perfect, and without it there would be no editors, devils or uews.”—Exchange. Thought For the Day, selected by B. Farrar: “Let us be of good cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.”—Lowell. When you hear of automibile acci dents, investigate and see how many of the drivers were under the influence of drink, and how many were carrying extra bottles in their cars. The large number of accidents from this cause leads to much criticism of drivers who are both careful and sober. Sort out the drink accidents and put them on record.—Waterloo Gazette. The brewers and saloon keepers of Chicago organized a big parade a week or so ago, as a protest against Sunday closing. Mayor Thompson in a speech a few days later declared that it was anarchistic, and that the performance has embittered many men against the traffic who formerly paid no attention to the question.— Waterloo Gazette. Why can’t O’Neill have a Municipal Christmas Tree? Shelby county is to have a Municipal Christmas tree, the Commercial Exchange are looking after the financial side and the Women’s Union are planning and helping with the work . The Christ mas tree is to be on the court house lawn, and also a short program, con sisting of music by the band, remarks on Christmas by a favorite speaker, a chorus by all the church choirs, and a Christmas carol by all of the school children. The basement of the court house is to be decorated in true Christ mas style, where the treats for the children will be given by Santa Claus, his wife and family. The rest room being reserved for gifts for the needy, where a committee from all the churches will have charge. All good people throughout the county who wish to help the needy are asked to bring their gifts there. If you have a particular person in mind that you wish to have a particular gift, please mark it with name of person and street, to expediate the distribu ting on Christmas morning. All gifts not marked will be distributed accord ing to the best judgment of the com mittee and to the names on the list in hand. We also ask that every one in the city will place a light in the window on Christmas eve to remain till after the exercises and our guests have de parted, in memory of the old Christ mas custom.
