School Clothes
IS1
School is now in session and
the school children need
sturdy clothes. Have a nice
line of the following goods
that are priced right.
What is more serviceable for
a school dress than a good
gingham, well made for wear
and the styles are right.
If you are in need of a g6od
sweater come in and look my
line over before buying
Always ready and willing to
show goods.

Under tlic McKelvic "civil adminis
trative code" the department of
finance is given power and authority
to "exercise general supervision over
the administration of assessment ur.d
tax laws of the state, over county,
precinct, township, city and village
ussessors,boards of county commis
sioners, county boards of equalization
and all other boaids of levy and as
sessment." Tho department is also
given power to require "individuals,
partnerships, companies, associations,
joint stock companies, and corpoin
tions to furnish information concern
ing their capital, funded or other
debts, current assets and liabilities
and all other facts which may be need
ful or desirable." Proceedings taken
and action had by the department are
subject to leview by tho state board
of equalization.
No more authority could bo be
stowed upon u department than is
given the finance dcpaitmcnt under
the foregoing provision. But how has
tho authority been exorcised? Has it
lesultcd in taxation matters being
moio equitably adjusted, or has it re
sulted in a decided increase of taxes
to one class of propcty, and a de
crease to another. The facts will show.
In 1919 the railroads of Nebraska
woe charged with a total of $738,81'!
slate taxes. In 1920, after the ' civ 1
administrative code" became orcia
tivc, tho railroads will ba charged
with $GtfG,903, a decrease of S 101,9 10.

TDepot Burned
At midnight Saturday the fire bell
pealed forth its dread alarm.
People hurried out and fourd the
Burlington depot in flames.
No water was available at that dis
tance from town and there wars noth
ing to do but stand around and watch
the building bum to thi ground.
Dr. Packwood was the first t3 dis
cover the fire and alarm was immed
iately sent out from the tjlcphoro of
fice. '
Tho fire ovidintly started in tho
coal bin, tho coal heating and ig.u'ting
spontaneously. Kouncly Irvin rushed
into the smoke-filled bu Iding nrd suc
ceeded in getting most of the rccrds,
tickets, etc.
Some old freight cars have been
placed for temporary quattos but
these will be a poor shift for winter.
It is hoped tho company will re
build at onco and there is a strorg
sentiment in tho community that a
now site bo chosen near town.
Comparatively little expense wo Id
accomplish this. If tre building had
been in town it could have been saved
from destruction' Satui day. A move
is on foot to present tho question to
the company. Rivcrton Review..

Kcd Cloud Merchants Issue A
Joint Advertising Sales Pester
Four retail stoics in non-conipctirg
lines in Ited Cloud, Neb., leccntly want
together on an advertising stunt nr.d
each .took one page of a four-page
poptcr, each page the size of ore pajc
of a six-column newspaper. The fcur
stores represented were the W. G.
Hamilton Clothing company; the I?.
P. Weesncr company, dry goods; Gas
ton Music company; The Graham
Furniture company.
The W. G. Hamilton company, for
the privilege of using the fio-1 page,
devoted some of its space to a gre.al
announcement of the purpose if the
advertising, to state the new mer
chandising policy of these stores, al
though stated in terms of the indivi
dual store.
Each ad made special pi ices, repre
senting substantial reductions and en
seasonable merchandise. Each ad was
such as would appear as a pa?e ad
in r.ny nowspaper, each was well wi it
ten and well set. That is not more
general and usual commendation, for
those ads were so good ns to deserve
more extended comment than is pos
sible here.
There is nn added interest and force
to the advertising thus put out by sev
eral stores in co-operation. It is the
next best thing to newspaper adver
tising in the way of a combined and
general interest, and has an advantage
over the newspaper ia that it goes to
a select mailing list. On the t-p of
tho last page there was a space for
tho name and address of tho prospect,
indicating that the poster' was folded
and mailed to a list rather than given
btoadsido distribution.
Moro of that sort of advci Using
and merchandising now will prove to
be a good, thing for any store and any
town, especially where such cp-opera-tion
can bo secured. This one may
have been due to the Red Cloud Chief,
and, if so other ,newpap2r rqen ought
to p'rofit by the, hunch.Omaha Trade

185 audiences
tried it this way
MOST people know that the musical enjoyment which they get
out of a phonograph depends upon one thing. That thing is
the phonograph's realifm.
!" -'.'' -This
picture show'"' the best way to test a phonograph's realism.
Miss Betsy Lane Shepherd, the famous soprano, is "standing beside
the New Edison, and singing ,in direct comparison with the New
Edison's Re-Creation of her vo'ice. .,....-.
185 audiences, aggregating more than. 100,000 people, have actually
heard this comparison. Nonef could distinguish between. her Hiving
voice and its Re-Cbeation.
This is one of the phenomenal records or realism. The New Edison
holds all other records of realism, too, because no-other phonograph
attempts this comparison-test or could sustain it.
