Item No. 2: Sixty acres of corn,
average 55 bushels to the ncrc H,!J00
bushels at 70 conU S3,3to 1)0.
Those two items bring about 82,12(1.00
to Mr. Koberts. Query: 'What is the
proceedH from tho other 100 acres?
Another question: What is tho mutter
with Nebraska farm land as an invest

burdens of farm life last Thursday and
hied themselves uway to Red Cloud
where they spout a pleasant time with

In piupuratitin had puiclrised a keg of
"Milwaukee's Pride" and hied them
selves to the Burlington yards whore
they proceeded to celebrate. Not being
satlslled with tupping the keg they
tapped a "dago bunk-house" and badly
frightened the only occupant, a Syrian.
He telephoned the officers who went to
the scene in automobiles aud gave the
members of the party u surprise. The
seven were brought to tho city Jut I.
In police court Monday morning, six
of the men were fined one dollar and
costs while tho seventh man faced tho
court on the charge of resisting an
olllcer, aud lie drew five dollars aud

Tough luck boys but you can expect
it us long as our present corps of
olllcers are on tho job, as it is the
sense of tho present city administra

An Association has been formed for

committee at present is compulsed of
(loo. NV. Trine, Miss Iiono Miner, Mrs.
(icorgo Hummel and Mrs. Win. lioseu

prove the assertion that Nebraska Is office and we are anxious to get to-
(unrivalled as the Land of Opportunity, gethei all we can as soon as possible,
Why Should
We Be Thankful?
First. Although the crops iu this
vicinity have not been as goad as usual
there is no lack of' food, of clothing,
of shelter, and our hones of future
prosperity have received no serious in J
jury. There is neither distress nor de
spnir.
Second. Pence reigns in the state, '
the nation, aud with but trilling ex
ceptions throughout the world.
Third. Notwithstanding the doubts
evinced in s imo quarter the convic
tion Is becoming stronger throughout
the earth that war Is a tiling of the
past, (treat aimitin. nts, costly equip
ment, distinctive ngoiiccisiiro themsel
ves agiiaiantee of peace. While it Is a
fact that (ici many, France, (ire.it llrit
lain and America ate so strongly indis
posed in war, that its gilm shallows
ate leeeetllug fin titer and farther.
Fourth. Our politics are becoming
purer more publicity is given to eviiH,
wior consideration Is give to their
pievetition and th"ir cure.
Never before ill hlstoy lias there
been so much and such informed at
tention given to the news of the poor
and the uufortutie.
Never before lias human intelligence
n.onu Itself socoiupeteut th make llie
conditions of life wholesome and fi.ini
tury. Kvery year ndN to the stored-up
wisdom of mankind. The lessons ol
ineicy aud justice are taught from the
multitude of publications and they
aib brought home to the heart.
Ait in its beauty, its dramatic pow
er, K biought to the minds of the dull
est aud the most vicious, and awakens
geiieroiii emotions, wider outlook.
Never in history have there been so
many people provided for to whom
life lias been nude attractive by so
many conveniences so many means of
pleasure such advantages for individ
ual aud social growth utnl develop
ment. Witli it all there is a practical sym
pathy for the distressed.
The law has become human.
On the dockot of Judge Ranney's
court there are five cases of a novel
character, the result or too gcneious
and wiso legislature of tho past year.
There U the cxsi of Mrs. Will (ial
breth whose husband was sent to the
penuiteiitiary leaving her with llvo
children. The County Judge ordered
the County Commissioners to pay Iter
'.! 00 per mouth to support those
children at homo. Mrs. Mat I In lirak-
ley of Itladou with thiee children was
allowed Sl.VOD each mouth. Her hus
band died leaving her destitute.
Mrs. Laura Angol of Cowles with
four children was provided with 820.00
per month. Her husband was found
dead on the river u few years ago. ,
Hosie K. Howling with four children
and Louisa Green with live children
both of Bladen were treated iu tho
same manner.
Tho Chief docn not boleivo that tho
generous provisions of tho law will be
ubused. And it is a matter of Thanks
giving that tho law has shown Itself
gracious with attributes of pity.
The Chief is also pleased to note the
oxtstanco of u new organization for
charitable work whoso labors will be
confined to this city. Mr. .(Jeorgo
Trine is tho present head of this or
ganisation. Tho Chief lias long desired that an
enterprise of this n-ituro should bo
commenced iu this city, mid it is be-
lelved that tho parties who have in
terested thomselvos iu tills movomont
are the persons who will carry it to
success,
It is unqucstiou'iblo that tho wants
of otio part of the city will supply the
wants of the other part. Tho cast off
clothing of the more oxtravugaut will
warm the bodies of the less fortunate.
Tills association hopes to become tho
medium of transferring clothing and
other articles from those who have no
ueed to those that need. It should
receive the hearty support of the

Advertising Holiday Goods.
Merchants who feel the strain of tho Chrlsttivis holiday rush, and the
frequent lack of profit In a big trado concentrated Into a fow days should cou
sldcr the udvautago of beginning early to advertise holiday goods.
Trado follows tho advertising. Wliero morcliauts don't toll the people
about their holiday stock until Docember is well under way, the public does
not realize that holiday goods uro in and make no speolal effort to hunt for gifts,
t
AH tho stores are today carry lug goods suited In every way for holiday
trade. Au early trade can be created by the sluiplo expedient of telling the
public what they can do at this stage of the season.
To tho outsider at least, It would seem as if the merchants would like
this trade distributed over as many weeks as possible. In that way they caa
' avoid hlrlug extra help, and tho public will be better satisfied if It avoid!
'hasty buying. Regular advertising promotes and establishes tali regular
' current of business. s
