Does a dollar look big to you
this Fall? Do you want to make it buy
more than it ever did before? Hitch it to
our $10.95 suit or overcoat. A man
came in here last week to look at one of
these bargains. He bought one of the
$10.95 suits. He couldn't resist it. Then
he said: "I thought you handled only
high grade goods." To be sure we.do handle
more high grade goods than otherwise, but
when we offer you a low priced garment,
we give you high grade value. These suits
and overcoats are big dollars worth.

What Mr. Balrd of the Burlington
Shops Has to Say About
the Franchise.
Taking the entire proposition
into consideration, we have heard
i no objection to the water fran
1 chise proposed by Mr. West. His
j rates to the private consumers
' are much more favorable than the
j present rates, and the $40 per
hydrant for lire protection is just
one-half what the original con
tract required the city to pay, and
; it looks to us as a very reasonable
1 price. We do not believe that the
I city council can do better than to
J accept Mr. West's proposition
f.nd grant the franchise without
j my further delay than is neces
sary. A small percent of our peo
ple are slill advocating municipal
ownership, who seem to be about
the only parties opposing Mr.
West's proposition. Mr. West is
ready to place many thousands of
dollars into the plant in repairs.
Let us give him the proper encouragement.

Kansas, March 22, 1875, on a
farm. He spent his life on the
farm until 14 years of age, and
studied music between the ages
of 12 and 14 years, at which age
his father died and his home was
broken up, leaving him to his own
resources. He was' then ap
prenticed to a trade and finished
same and studied music to use
up odd time instead of spending
it. on the streets, and also because
of natural love for it. At 20
years of age he was married,
having four children, the oldest
now being H years of age, and
the youngest 10 years of age.
They all showed great natural
musical ability and began study
at from i to 5 years of age. They
began working for Epworth
Leagues and Y. M. fi. A.'s in 1907,
and had twenty and one-half
weeks' lecture courses for the
season of 1910-1911, with the
loss of only one date. This is un
doubtedly one of the most re
markable musical families in the
United States. At Webb, Iowa, a
family came fifteen miles by rail
to hear the concert given by the
Giddings' Family Concert com
pany, and the father remarked
that they had their money's
worth at the close of the third
number, a vocal duet by the little
Giddings girls. The Giddings'
Family Concert company has a
reputation for arriving when con
cert, time comes, having finished
a twenty and one-half weeks' sea
son during 1910-1911 without
missing a train. No matter how
far they have traveled in a dav
or how early they get. up to calch
trains, the concert goes on in the
same earnest, orderly manner
each lime. At Avoca Novem

What Mr. Baird Says.
Following is an interview with
Master Mechanic Baird of the
Burlington shops:
"As a private citizen and not as
an officer of the Burlington rail
road, the action of the council in
regard to granting a franchise to
Mr. West, reminds me of school
boys trading knives afraid the
other fellow is going to get the
best of you and at the same time
trying to do him if you can.
"It is such dilatory, two-penny,
half-penny dickering that keeps
Plattsmoulh behind other towns
of the same class, not only in Ne
braska, but in adjoining states.
"I think Mr. West has made the
city a very fair proposition. I
cannot, see where he can get the
best of the city by granting him a
twenty-year franchise, with the
privilege of buying him out at any
live-year period. With no money
wherewith to purchase the plant
and put it in shape, all the talk of
municipal ownership is nothing
but 'hot air' and cheap politics.
"Mr. West is willing to spend
considerable, money in putting the
plant in first-class shape, and it
is badly in need of general over
hauling. It is to the interest of
very citizen of Plattsmoulh that
Ihe overhauling be not delayed a
day longer than can be helped
Suppose we have another break
down like we had last summer
;and we are liable to have it at
any time, with the present condi
tion of the plant), and a fire
would break out in Ihe Burling
ton shops, what excuso could the
council put up to Ihe hundreds of
properly owners whose properly
would become valueless through
the destruction of Ihe shops?
"Few of our citizens realize
what a serious situation there
was, for a few days last summer,
and those that do are anxious not
to see it soon again.
"If we are ever going to "SEE
PLATTSMOUTH SUCCEED,' let
the council cut out cheap politics
and work for the best interests of
the commonwealth, or get out and
let others in that will."

Risk means a hazard or chance

should risk health or life unless
absolutely, necessary or unavoid
able. Still we know people who
in case of sickness took remedies
which they knew nothing about,
whose ingredient swere unknown
and which have never been tried
by any of their friends. They
took a great and unnecessary risk
as long as I here are very good
remedies at hand. In indisposi

need to risk any new remedy, be
