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.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN.
Edited by the Ladles of the Local
VV. C. T. U.
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.
Signed,
A Believer in Santa Claus.
