The movie picture will he used in the campaign for pro hibition tliis fall, and exhibited in var ious parts of the state. A move to put the Pure Food and Oil department on a non-partisan basis has been initiated by Deputy Commissioner C. E. Harnian of this department of the state government. The plan is to submit an amendment to be placed in the ticket at the fall election that the people may have an opportunity to vote on the question. Petitions lire being circulated over the state embodying the proposed change, 40,000 names being required to place the amendment on the bul lot. It is proposed to make the pres ent term of the commissioner, six in stead of two years, and to make him the head of the department instead of the governor, who is at present the commissioner while his appointee' is deputy. This is practically the olnn that obtains on tho board of commis sioners of state institutions, the rail way commission and the supreme court, with the exception that the lat ter two departments nre elective. In addition to this, it is also nroDosed that the food and oil commission, if the amendment should be submitted and carried, be nlaccd on a civil ser vice basis. The plan has been under consideration for some years, but has never been attempted heretofore. There are a good many dry repub licans in the state who arc nt present questioning the wisdom of the nomi nation for irovernor of Judge Sutton of Omnha. The fact that Omaha nnd Douglas countv are so wet that a dry ticket down there would have about as much effect as a drouth in the middle of the ocean, nnd that .Judge Sutton, who was running on n per fectly dry ticket, romped awny with the big end of both the wet nnd dry vote, hns caused some speculation. An investigation by some of the curious ones as to the reason of this, mny, they claim, have a bearing on the following statistical information : Douglas county, including Omnha and its villages and towns, hns n bonded indebtedness of $2.'J,141,70:i.24. Of this amount the city of Omaha alone carries $18,054,850 of bonds, already registered, while at the Into primaries another $1,700,000 was voted but haw not yet been registered. I his total of approximately $25,000,000 bonded indebtedness, drawing 4 per cent, which is a fair average, would mean $1,000,000 interest to be pnid by the Douglas county tax-payer in addition to his regular assessment. There are Kood reasons for believing, according to those who have looked up the mat ter, that right now the business in terests of Omaha and Douglas coun ty are more concernd in controlling the state government than they nre in the wot and dry question. Thus spec ulated our brethren of the Elepn R. Moose tiibe, who nre having much to answer for in theno days of their po litical tribulation. While tho good citizens of Webs-ter county have much to be proud of In the wny of fertile sail, good business centers, good schools and railroad ac commodations, we have room for Im provement in the wny of good roads. At this btngc, every county anil eoin munlty are doing their oesi vo nave the National highways puss through their county or have a Highway con necting with some one or more high ways of the United States. This ofllco is In receipt of a bet of mnpt. and llteraturo of the various highways passing through our htute nud fall to find our city on any of Iheso hljihways We note ttiitt on the National Highways Preliminary Map of the state of Nebraska that these highways will puss through Oxford and Chester, and that nnotlier high way could bo constructed between these two points. This connection at Chester would couuect us with the Meridian Road, extending from (ial vcfiton to tho Canmlhn line. This highway traverses six states, sixty, eight counties, touching flfty-ouc.coun-ty Beats. Why not take an Intel est in this piojeot and boo what can bo done'.' Oct busy and co-operate with the otli cr towns In our county, and also of Harlan, Franklin, Nuckolls nnd Thay er counties. Do not put It oil' or leave it to your neighbor to do it for you. We propose that a meeting be held In Red Cloud at an early date. Ex tend an Invitation to tho secretary of tho Commercial clubs of the various towns, get together and work for this highway.

One of the popular young men of this vicinity sustained a lire loss one day recently which is not covered by insurance. It is not the amount of dollars or cents that troubled him most, but the "kiniing" of his friends when they met him. While we were not one of the party, we were let in on the secret a short time after ward, and the story making the rounds is something like this: The party men tioned was whillug away the time along the banks of the stream, tlsh ing, when the thought struck him that it would be ft pleasant day for a dip. He removed considerable of his clothing, placed them on the bank of the stream, nnd in be went. When In the water, he discovert! that he had his pipe in his mouth, nud removing It, uuJjOssed-it over onto tho bank, nit payinfflnny attention to where it land ed (which was In the midst of the cloUilufc) When lie returned about an hour later, from his frolic in the water, ho lound, where the clothing ought to be, a little pile of ashe. I'e wont to a nearby farm house to pro cure moi e clothing and all he eouW get was "a suit that lit too soon ' The only path of rescue open to him then, was to "hide out" in the shrub ery near the bridge, while his younger brother went to their home to get another "covering" for him. r!GOOD FITTING fe jLgood WEARING fjiJ jR kinds Jill ll Our Stock of Shoes Is Big WE CARRY THEM IN NEARLY ALL WIDTHS.
