The latter part of the evening was spent at whist, Miss Lillian Brooks winning the prize. Do home industries pay. You may safely bet that they do, for farmers in the O’Neill territory virtually were made a present of $15,000 or $20,000 the present year because of one, the McGinnis Creamery Company. More than 600,000 pounds of butter |fat were purchased by the several O’Neill cream buyers the present year, and because there was a local institution paying the Omaha market price the Omaha concerns had to meet the com petition and pay the same without de ducting forwarding charges. In towns where there are no local plants to compete, the foreign concerps always quote a price delivered at the plant, which means less freight charges. This makes a difference of from two to four cents a pound. With the local creamery paying the Omaha market, each cream producer gets the money that otherwise would go to the rail roads, no matter to whom he sells Therefore, it can easily be seen that home industries pay. yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ■ A PLAN FOR YOU ■ AT THE NEBRASKA STATE BANK There is a plan for you to make a connection with the Nebraska State Bank that will tively help your every day life and Uf future.

The Holt County Fair association held its annual meeting, at the K. of C. club rooms, on last Tuesday even ing, at which the following officers were selected for the coming year: President, J. J. Thomas; Vice Presi dent, H. W. Tomlinson; Secretary and Treasurer, P. C. Donohoe; Directors, E. F. Barnes, Atkinson, William Gan non, Inman, Fred Richter, Scottville, E. J. Mullally, Chambers, and H. D. Grady, O’Neill. President Thomas and Vice President Tomlinson are the only new officers to be selected, the former incumbents of these offices having refused to become candidates for another term. The dates for the Fair were tentatively fixed at Sep tember 11, 12 and 13. The year just passed has been the most successful in the history of the association, all expenes, except build ings, having been realized from the Fair, notwithstanding the fact that the amount paid out in prizes and premiums and for free attractions greatly exceeds that expended in any previous year. Two thousand dollars was spent \*f the association for premiums and amusements, which amount does not include the cash and merchandise premiums donated by the merchants in the surrounding territory. Twelve hundred went for amusements and eight hundred for premiums. The theory of the officers is.to increase this insofar as possible as a greater in centive to the farmers to bring,, in their products for competitive ex hibition which, if the farmers will take an active interest, should produce as fine a display of the fruits of the soil as could be seen anywhere in Ne braska, or even the middle west. The retiring officers, Mr. Hunter and Mr. Hickey, receive the grateful thanks of everyone interested in the Fair and the encouagement of agriculture in Holt county, and Mr. Thomas and Mr. Tomlinson can count on their enthu siastic support. The meeting adjourned to December 12th, when they will meet, at the same place to receive the re port of a committee who are to in vestigate the deeds of the associations property. Everyone is urged to at tend this meeting. County Supervisor H. W. Tomlinson is the new boniface at the Parker hotel. Mr. Tomlinson, who disposed of his farm effects at a large and well attended sale Monday, has purchased the hotel property and with his'family took possession Wednesday morning. For a time at least, while he is get ting acquainted with the hotel busi ness, Mr. Tomlinson announces that he not only will be general manager, but also night and day clerk, bellboy and general factotum of the hostelry. Mr. Tomlinson’s sale, like a majority of the sales held within the past few months and advertised exclusively in The Frontier, ran more than $500 above the estimate. Now That Election Is Over. Publishers’ Auxilary: Some editors have been inclined to criticize Re publican papers for carrying Demo cratic advertising, or Democratic papers for carrying Republican ad vertising, but the fact is they could not very well have refused advertising, from one committee and accepted it from the other and still have com plied with the postal rulings as they apply to newspapers. Any newspaper can refuse to carry any poltiical ad vertising, or any other kind of ad vertising ,but when it carries political or any other kind of advertising for one party or one concern it must carry, if offered at its rates, other ad- 1 vertising of a similar character so long as it is clean and legitimate.
