GOOD ROADS A PERSONAL RE
SPONSIBILITY.
perhaps no other feature of civic
^turns or improvement of recent years
!.*» attracted so much attention as has
tnat of road building. All over our
broad land, from ocean to ocean, from
the lakes to the gulf, the wave of en-.
i ausiasm is rolling The people are
realising that they must have better
ruads. and the machinery of govern
ment in its taxing rapacity is being1
ever more and more strained to meet;
this demand
But while there Is a certain respoi
-.btiity resting upon the state in the
maintenance of our highways, we are
m danger of forgetting that an even
greater responsibility rests upon us.
adiriduailv. as citizens. The reason
why we sometimes lose sight of this
responsibility is that we Americans
have gotten into the habit of working
out all such matters through the medi- j
lb of taxation. If we want a new road
opened, we levy a tax If we want an
■id road macadamized, we tax some
more, is a bridge to be built? We
impose another lax. We tax and we
teep on taxing, and this regardless 01 j
the tact, that we all know that the |
hardest money to give up is that which
is paid in taxes Many a man will come
to town and spend in a day enough j
to pay his yearly taxes and think noth
ing of it. But he will sweat drops of
blood, as it were, when the tax gat'n
ever rounds him up.
We depend too much upon taxes. We
should depend more upon individual
and personal efTort. A lively neighbor
hood interest in good roads is worth
all of the taxes you can wring from un
willing pocketbooks A determination
by a united citizenship of a county that
their roads shall excel ia worth more
than all of the road commissioners in
existence. Road commissioners work
through devious ways to reach their
object. The united sentiment of a peo
ple works direct to the object. It de
termine* what is wanted and then
takes the most direct route to accom
plish its ends.
Ho you favor better roads in this
i immunity ? Then go to work and
arouse a healthy community sentiment
tnat will demand them When that is
accomplished good roads will be the
result.
And just a few words more. Realize
your own responsibility. Say to your
self. "the roads of this community be
long partly to me. and I owe a duty to
them." Don't depend upon a benevo
lent government, national, state, coun
ty or township, but shoulder your own
responsibility. Then you will be in a
fair way to get your neighbor to do
likewise.

WHY ADVERTISING PAYS.
Kief) ooy reads the ads and nearly
everybody remembers what they read.
Mrs. Jones remarks to Mrs. Smith
that she simply must go to the store
and get a new dress pattern, or a
• inter coat, or possibly a new hat.
Mrs. Smith has read of the latest crea
uons at some store and immediately
springs her knowledge upon Mrs.
Junes, who simply can't resist the
temptation to go and see for herself.
Once there she generally buys.
fanner Hankinson needs a new
harueas. or a plow, or some other im
plement for progressive farming. His
neighbor has read tbe up-to-date ad
of the implement bouse in the local pa
per and incidentally mentions that So
il ad So carries a good anicle which he
is advertising quite heavily. This ex
< ites farmer Hankinson's curiosity
-rut he "Just drops in to see It.” He.
too. often ends with a buy.
The woman's club .or tbe sewing
circle, or the pink tea ladies get to
gether and spend the afternoon or
evening la gathering up stray bits of
information. Anything that has attract
«<d the eye of any member comes in
(or discussion, and nothing is more
dear to their hearts than those de
lightful things that were advertised in
the last issue of the paper Of course
they all want to know about them, and
then they must see them, and in the
end they buy them.

Yes .they all read the ads. and they
talk about the goods they read about,
and they buy when they are sufficient
ly interested to talk about them.
Of course advertising pays. Every
body knows it pays.
PROSPERITY VS. HIGH PRICES.
"No such thing exists in America as
; . -sperity for just one class, unless it
• vasts for all.” So said a noted states
man last fall, and millions of Ameri
> an* believed him, but we differ from
him.
Our present so-called prosperity is a
prosperity of the Classes. It is most
i mphatically not a prosperity of the
masses.
The munitions manufacturer is pros
perous because Europe is clamoring
for his products.
The automobile maker prospers be
' a use the craze for the buzz wagon
is on the upward slant.
The farmer prospers because Eu
rope demands his products.
Certain other special industries
prosper because a war crazed Europe
need their wares with which to pro
long the struggle.
And there the real prosperity ends.
The millions of salaried men and wo
men and the more modest wage earn
ers are immeasurably worse off than
they were five years ago. Thousands
of printers and publishers are facing
.c tual ruin. The small merchant has
difficulty in making both ends meet.
Thousands of professional men are
wondering how they can pay their
rent.
High prices are the result of this
half prosperity, but all people have
them to pay. The classes have the
money with which to pay, but the
masses are wondering where in
blazes it is coming from.
THE ARROW AND THE PLOW
That is a pretty little cermonia!
which Secretary Lane has devised for
making full-blooded American citizeno
<»ut of Indians. The Indian is brought
forward and informed that a federal
commission, having investigated his
ircumstances has determined that he
is entitled to take the responsibilities
of citizenship, by being released from
the paternalistic care of the Indian
Sureuu. The Indian is hand 2d a bow
nd arrow, and is directed to shoo;
the arrow. Afier doing so, he is told
o take into his hands the handle of a
>low. Then he is informed: “You have
hot your last arrow, but you may keep
iiat arrow, it will be to you a symbol
<1 your noble ra■ ■ e and the pride you
cel that you tome the first of all
' mericans." With reference to the
plow he is told that ‘the white man
lives by work. From the earth we all
must get our living and the earth will
not yield unless man pours upon it
he sweat of his brow.” Having being
presented with a flag, the new citizen
akos it in his hands and repeats these
words: “For as much as the President
has said that I am worthy to be a citi
zen of the United States, I now prom
ise to this flag that I will give my
hands, my head, and my heart to the
doing of all that will make me a true
American citizen."
GO NO FARTHER
The Evidence Is At Your Door.

the statement of this highly respected
resident will banish all doubts:
J. J. Golus, farmer, Loup City,
says: “I was annoyed by having to get
up at night to pass the kidney secre

about three years. I was laid up with
my back. There was a deepseated pain
right in the center of it. 1 could hard

me of the trouble and of late I have
not had any return of it.”

NEBRASKA’S GROWING POTASH
INDUSTRY.
The potash industry of Nebraska
has received added impetus by the of
ficial announcement that a corpora
tion has been formed to operate an
other plant in the vicinity of Alliance.
This concern begins with a paid-up
capital of $100,000. all of which has
been subscribed and paid in. It is un-j
derstood that the stockholders are all!
Nebraska men, some of them being I
local capitalists in Alliance. The firm j
has already obtained extensive leases
and is assured in advance of an almost!
inexaustive supply of potash solution.
The location of the plant will be seven
miles from Alliance on the C. B. & Q.
railway. The company is already plac
ing orders for machinery and have
their plans prepared for the building,
on which they expect to begin active
work early in the spring. It is antici
pated that the plant will be in opera
tion by July 1st. When completed
this plant will have the largest ca
pacity of any of the five now in exist
ence. The hundred thousand dollars
capitalization which has been paid in
is expected to extend the activities
by increased capital until this plant
will be the largest of its kind in the
west. This announcement, coupled
with the intimation that there is a
probability of a refining plant being
erected in Alliance leads all to believe :
that the chemists and engineers have |
reached a conclusion that the potash
industry of western Nebraska due to
the excellence of the product and in
creased efficiency in producing, can
continue as a profitable investment
even after the war is over and for
eign potash is brought on the market j
to compete.

MILK IN WINTER.
Why do your cows give less milk
In winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas’

very ingredients that the green feed
supplies in season, only, of course, in
i more highly concentrated form. We
guarantee that this remedy will make
your cows give more milk, and better

MANY ATTEND ORGANIZED AGRI
CULTURE.
All attendance records were broken
at meetings of Organized Agriculture
at the University farm, Lincoln, Jan.
15 to 19. From the time the gavel
sounded for the opening of the initial
session it was evident that this year’s
attendance would far exceed all pre
vious high marks in attendance. At the
close of the third day, Wednesday,
nearly 6,000 had been present at Uni
versity farm meetings, a figure equal
to the estimated attendance of last
year. The press of the crowd was so
great that overflow meetings had to
be arranged to accommodate those who
could not find standing room in con
vention halls.
SHOPPING HINTS.
If housewives would put aside sam
ples of textile fabrics along with data
as to date of purchase and price paid,
this information would form the basis
for more economical buying later on.
is the suggestion offered by the home
economics department of the state ag
ricultural college.
Economical buying of fabrics calls
for a wider knowledge and more dis
crimination than ever before, owing
to the use of new methods of manufac
ture, new machinery, and new fibers.
For example, ramie, a new fiber
stronger than linen, is coming into use
for a number of textiles used in home
furnishing. Also, artificial silks are
very tempting because of their beauti
ful luster, though they cannot be
washed successfully.
MIDDLE WEST MERCHANTS COME
TO OMAHA IN MARCH.
Omaha. Neb.. Jan. 25. Spring market
week, that time when merchants of
Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and
Wyoming gather in Omaha for pleas
ure and business has been set for the
week of March 12th.
Chairman Kelley of the Manufactur
ers and Jobbers Committee, under
whose auspices the event is held, de
clares that more than 1.000 merchants
will be on hand. Business and pleasure
will be mixed in the right proportion,
according to Mr. Kelley, to drive away
every thought of anything except the
biggest and best year in Nebraska and
Iowa's commercial life.
An unusually attractive program will
be prepared, which will include talks
on merchandising from all angles by
men who are past masters in the art
of salesmanship and buying and the
other incidentals of business that go
with them.

EXERCISE BREEDING HERD.
Exercise for breeding animals is es
pecially important at this time of the
year inasmuch as they are not likely
to move about enough, says the animal
husbandry department of the college of
agriculture.
An excellent method of providing
exercise is to place feed at some dis
tance from the shelter. Sows, cows,
and mares will be kept in good condi
tion by this means, will experience
less trouble at birth, and will produce
stronger offspring.

I, 050 to 1,300-pound beeves went
