It is only by continual publicity -
ity that the many advantages
of Nebraska can be made IUtown
to the outside world and inves :
tors brought here to help in the
development of this great state.
One way to do this is to send the
local papers to relatives , friends
and acquaintances in the east ,
provided vour business firms are
well repr sented in the advertising -
ing columns. There isn't a paper -
er in the state that does not
boost for Ncbraslm , every week ,
even though in some of t.he
towns the business men arc very
niggardly in advertising and
nothing indicates a prosperous
and wideawalc community more
than a liberal amount of adver-
II" 'tising in the local paper.
The post office department JIBS
issued a fraud order against
Santa Clause , and all letters
addresscd to him will be sent to
the Dead 14etter office at Wash-
ington. Heretofore postmasters
have gencrally laid thcse epistles
to one side and turned them over
to charitable people who have
seen to it that the wants expressed -
pressed in the letters were supplied -
plied as weU as possible. " It
seems too bad to break up this
practice , as the real pleasure .of
Christmas is the making of
others happy.

A bill of interest to all Grand
Army men has been' introduced
I into Congress by Representative
Lacey of Iowa , providing that
the minimum monthly pension
to be paid veterans of the Civil
\Var be fixed at $12. Mr. Lacey
j : ' " declares the purpose of his
measure is to make a service
. . pension biU unnecessary.

Oil Co. , seems to. have invented
a pretty good immunity batb
