HALE l'UllMMIKH THE ONIjY DKMOCUATIU I'Al'KIt IN WKIlSTKIt COUNTY April stole a tnnrcli on March nml arrived first this year. We have been April fooled. Tho Itlverton school house has been condemned by state authorities as be ing untmfo and unHfinltiiry. Tako no chances, gentlemen, build a new one. This year's crop of homo grown, hand picked penches promises to bo up to standard as to quality. No one tins been bold enough yet to suggest that tho quantity will be excessive. The Bladen Enterprise failed to ar rive this week. We understand that editor Woods has taken to the tall timber and the owners were tinablo to get the edition out on short notice. Up at McCook tho mayor has issued a clean up proclamation. Everybody is to bo busy for one whole day clean ing up paper and rubbish. After which the city will maintain a wagon which will be usod in hauling off all accumulations on the street. Broken glass and stray nails seom to effect horsos and autos there as elsewhore. We are pleased that Bro. Ilohincr also has advocated dividing the city into threo wards. Thoro arc many good reasons why this should bo done. Tho town is big enough, it is scattered enough to cause diverging interests, tho city would bo hotter served and tho cost would be nominal. By all -means let us divide up the city and create ward number threo. Wc understand that a raovemonthas boon started toward organizing a gym nasium and rending room for the young mcu. Tho beginnings will be modest but can bo made very effective and may result in an organization that will meet tho needs of tho whole people. At any 1 ate wo hope so and wish tho undertaking success from the start. Youth must liavo activity and gymnastic exercises are as good an oc cupation as has yet been discovered. Considerable interest is being mani fested over the state in regard to re moving tho capital from Lincoln. Ho far it has served only an excuse for lougthy editorials yet the Commercial Club at Grand Island nssumos to tako tho question seriously and are chip ping In ten to twenty cents per mem ber to got tho capital located in that ptogressivo town. As a spot whore tho state olllcials would be unmolested by any uoiho or disturbing inlluence how would Superior do? Down at Ked Cloud before tho elect ion the saloons had subscribed quite a largo sum of money to help defray tho expenses of tho base ball team and nfter tho town went dry they, o( course, would not be in business and could not pay their subscription. The W. C. T. U. ladles of that place oamo to the rescue and raised fOOO for tho ball team. Bloomingtou Advocate. No doubt the W C T. U. would bo pleased if conditions were such that they could say that tho above wore true but the fact is Bro. Crane the ladles of the entiro city united in giv ing a big dinner and supper for the bcnellt of the baso ball team. No one organization was represented more than another. Every Ism or clique turned out on masso and with one ac cord gave the boys a boost. Tho county commissioners publish their full proceedings of every meet ing and why should not tho city coun cil and the board of education do tho HiimeV We know thoro is no law auth orizing this to be dono but we aro con fident that tho taxpayers would will ing permit those olllcials expending an jnsignitlcent sum for that which would givo them full and complete ac counts of all transactions. Much of tho misunderstanding of current con ditions is caused from the fact that -tho peoplo do not know what is being done and what is learned Is often dis torted and twisted hoyond recognition. We believe that there should ho -the iullest publicity possible given to all acts of public olllcials. This would not only piotcct the public but would alho protect the olllcials themsolvoH .from being misunderstood '" nil-quoted. Drinfcsefihe District Court Bet'imid MeNu.j vs. Ambrose S.

A creamery i-quippcd with all the modern machinery for making first class butter locuted right in tho cent er of a dairy country ami not turning a wheel for months, is a sad condition of affairs. Yet such n crippled Indus try is to be found within tho confines of lied Cloud. Our merchants have been importing creamery butter and upon investiga tion wo found that the creamery iu which wo took so much pride is as silent as a gravo yard. No butter Is being manufactured hero and an in vestment of SCOOO is allowed to remain dormant and unproductive. Has the company gone Into the hands of a receiver? Hardly the last statement showed a healthy surplus. Can it be there is no more cream? On the contrary there is a steady gain In the amount of butter fat produced lu and around this city. Tho reason no wheels are turning is because Crooked Creek has been diverted and tho as sociation no longer has any method of disposing or the waste. The records show that tho creamery association paid Into the city treasury the sum of StoO for erecting a dam iu order that the creek could be forced Into its old channel. This amount was paid with the understanding that the city keep the dam In repair. In facta contract was entered into whereby the city of Red Cloud agreed to maintain this dam. Unfortunately high water wash ed away the dam and in the meantime a new set of olllcials were serving tho city. These olllcials claim that the contract is illegal and refuse to ro place the dam. Tho association is willing to robuild and maintain the dam provided the city refund tho 3-100. This tho mayor will not do and there the matter stands. Whether tho contract is legal or not thero is no question but what the $ 100 was paid to the city and thoro is no question but what the dam was built under the direction of tho city and it would seem that the fair thing for the city to do is to either fix dam or re fund the 8100. Iu tho meantime the association is receiving offers for the building and machinery from surrounding towns and unless something is done this property will be sold and removed. Can lied Cloud afford to lose an enter prise which has a gross Income of from 810,000 00 to 800,000.00 a year? In place of dreaming about big tilings to come let us first conserve the resources which we already have. Hero is some thing for our Commercial Club to take up and scttlo. Or perhaps the mer chants and enterprising citizens could handle It to bettor advantage. Some thing must be done and dono without unnecessary delay or Ked Cloud will lose a valuable Industry. Hair Health If You Have Scalp or Hair 1 rouble, Take Advantage of this Offer Wo could not afford to so strongly endorse Hexall "OH" Huir Tonic and continue to sell It ns wo do, If we were not certain that it would do all we claim It will. Should our enthusiasm carry us away, and Rexall ,'U3" Hair Tnic not givo entire satisfaction to the users, they would lose faith in us and our statements, and in conse quence our businoss prestige would suffer Therefore, when we assure you that If your hair is beginning to unnatur ally fall out or If you have any scalp trouble, Rexall "1)3" Hair Tonic will promptly eradicate dandruff,stlmulate hair growth and prevent premature baldness, you may rest assured that we know what wc aro talking about. Out of one hundred testeases Rexall "93" Hair Tonic gave entire satisfact ion in ninety-three eases. It lias been proved that it will grow lmlr evon 011 bald heads, when, of course, the bald ness hud not existed for so long a tlmo that the follicles, which are tho roots of the hair, had uot become ab solutely lifeless. Rexall '!" Hair Tonic is vastly different from other slmiliar pre parations. Wo bolieve that it will do more than any other human agency toward restoring hair growth and hair health. It is uot greasy and will not gum tho t-ealp or hair or causo permanent stain. It is as pleasant to uso as ptiro cold weler.
