(Mir ellloient county attorney Fred
.Miitirer working away without iioiso
or bluster succeeded hi bringing to
light about twetityflve thoiisntid doll
ars of taxable property this year
which hrtil boon nleoly tuj-ked away
from Might. The work along this line
which he has already done In of sulllo
lent sio to save the county hh salnry
for two yearsand leave it comfortable
surplus.
The telephone has become nlmo-lan
indespenslble necessity on the farm,
lly lis aid prices are learned, help Is
secured, purchases are made and trans
actions closed withotitcven the trouble
of hitching up A farm with a tele
phone Is no longer isolated because
no matter bow much alone the farmer
limy be he call visit, with his neighbor
and hear a human voice at anytime he
deslies. Twenty years ago the possi
bilities of a telephone on the farm
was scarcely a dream.
V wonder If any fcteps have been
taken tuwurds forming that Webster
county commercial club? fn the opin
ion of this editor this ought to be or
ganized at once. Tho interests of nil
the towns in the county arc identical
and an organization that would bring
us all together would bo the best
tiling to happen to us. By working
together everything attempted by any
Lof the towns would tic a success.
Stand up for Webster county
One by .otic the old cottouwood laud
marks are being hewn down to give
place to the more ornamental species.
They have however served their miss
ion nnil the day of their usefulness is
over. When this eoiintiy was Hist
settled it was the cottouwood which
lespontled the most rcatlily.aud which
Hist cheered the pioneer with its
ipiickness ot growth. Its shade shel
tered the weary traveler and furnished
a play ground during the hot summer
days lor the little children While
the most of us will gladly say good bye
to the cottouwood we doubt not that
to the old pioneer tho passing of this
tree is closely connected with some
thing akin to pain.
Now that the CSoverument has tie
monstiated Usability to curry sealed
letters for two cents and make a pro
lit we suggest that the railroad com
panies study the plan ami see if they
cannot better their income hy lollow
ing I lie same scheme. It costs two
eei.ts to send a letler to (iuide Hock,
it also costs two eonts to send a letter
to New Voik City if the railroads
should adopt the saine plan and charge
say a nominal fee of one dollar fare
no matter wheie one wanted logo we
would stakeonrrcpnlationas piophets
that one half of our people would be
on the go all the time. All we ask
for tliis tip is the priviledge of pur
chasing the Hist ticket.
Now coin.es the New York City shoe
dealer and says that women's feet are
growing larger. This is not surpris
ing in fact all the shoe dealers of Ne
braska were aware of the fact long
ago but. tho curious reasoning of the
x'a V- I II ! a i
i',r" ,M, .'t is .nemonsiraicti
wen he attempts to name a cause for
''this growth, lie says women's feet
are gr wing because they have invad
ed the eoinmeroial world. It takes
more bruins to pound the typewriter
and wield thu pen than it does to rock
the cradle and do the cookiug hence
women arc getting huge feet just like
the men. We have always admired
the brain of a New York business man
but we never su-peeted that bestowed
it away in his feet.

Ted waited mlaerahly In the recep

Ing an epileptic fit In a crowded dry

Simple Life?"
The committee on Initiation had
been most itiRenlotn- thin year. The
taaka they allotted the candidates
were positively fiendish but to order
him to seek to Roll u copy of that book
to Cheater Ackerman seemed to In
vite him to Helf-destructlon.
Nervously he followed tho butler
down the long hall and Into the li
brary. Ackerman looked up nt his
entrance.
"What can I do for ou'" he auked
aharply.
"I have a hook," explained Ted. "fi'n
a very celebrated book and I thought
you might like to buy a copy"
"A book agent!" thundered Acker
man, as he reached for the bell.
"See here," pleaded Ted. "(live me
a chance. Here Ir a book that every
one's been talking about."
"Don't want It," snapped Acker
man. "Havo a look, anyway." Insisted
Ted. "It's 'The Simple Mfe;' the book
that tho picHldent thought was such
hot stuff. I'll bet you've never read
It and yet It's been talked about for
tho last two years You never did
read It. did you?"
"No. And I'm not koIiik to now." de
clared Ackerman. If 1 thought ou
meant that I needed to read that"
"You do need to." reiterated Ted
"Not tho way you mean, but because ii
man net-ds to keep posted. Hy youi'
own admission, you're two years
behind You can have a laugh, anv
way."
Ho held the book Invitingly townid
his victim and almost unconsciously
Ackerman took It. He glanced over
the panes with an occasional grunt
He was by no means an exponent of
the simple life, and he found much to
deride.
"Didn't I tell you It wan good for a
laugh?" Insisted Ted. Ackerman look
ed up with a smile.
now much Is It?" ho demanded.
"You can satisfy your pride with the
knowledge that you're the first book
ngent that ever sold me anything
"In that ease make It a dollar," sug
gested Ted. "Thanks. Good morning
I can ilnd my own way out."
He wns koho before Ackerman could

"Miss Diury" he Hasped. 'What

"Mr. Ackerman Is m guardian," she
rxplalned. "I thought that per

blush.
"No," said Ted. "That was not It.
You und :our party left the Point so
suddenly that I could get no trace of
you. The fact Is that I wna In selling'
Mr Ackeimun a book."
You are a hook agent?" ibx erled
