The whiskey men have been trying to throw a scare into the . farmers-that the present wave of prohibitation sweeping over the , country would destroy the present market for corn-but Secretary - retary Wilson shows that NOT OVItR 2 per cent of the entire corn crop is used for the manufacture of liquor and a large portion of this is for alcohol and other spints used in the trades and arts. This shows that the market - ket is not especially dependent on the continuance of thl. whiskey - key drinking' l1abit. i If it ever becomes a question . whetl1er this county shall enjoy : great prosperity by the grace of thieves and vandals or a lesser degree - gree of good fortune under honest and impartially administered la I , , , , the people may always be r lted upon to choose wisely , the fears of pessimists to the contrary - trary notwithstanding. , Judg-ing from the inqui ries made and the conditions which exist , the prices of farm lands in Nebraska will have a decided upward tendency the coming spring , and there can be no safer or profitable investment any- wl1ere-than right here in Custer I county. . . ; TIIEIR FIFTH ANNUAL BANQUET General Cwter Lodge , No. 23 , Knights I of Pythiu' Fifth Annual Banquet , the Most Successful of Any.

The report was unanimously adopted and , Chairman H. E.

O. P. locally. The report of the committee I on resolutions was read and adopted as follows : The Republican ! ! of Custer county , Nebraska , in convention assembled , again express our confidence in the principles - ciples of the Republican party as laid down in the last national platform , and al 11evetoped. extended and promulgated in recent state platforms , and as interpreted - terpreted aud executed by our national and state executives. We unequivocally endorse the administration - tration of President Roosevelt. We commend - mend him for his courageous efforts to administer'the ' law with equal and exact I justice to all intersts. We especial1y' ' commend his recent message to Congress in which he outlines the issues upon which the next nahonal campaign will be fought and in which he receeded not froUl any of the advanced stands he has taken upou the enforcement of present taws and the enactment of new laws and the enactruent of new laws to cover defects - fects and weaknesses in laws already on the statute books of the nation , to the end that civic righteousness may be the purpose of government. We express our approbation of the lid ministration of Governor George . Sheldon in that he has caused to be enacted - acted into laws every party pledge of the platform upon which he was elected , and has put Nebraska in line as a IItate thoroughly in touch with the national administration , giving to its people a wise and economic government. We commend the last legisislature in that it promptly and willingly obeyed the mandate of the Republican party as expressed in its state platform by enacting - ing the taws pledged therein to the people of the state. We are in favor of an emergency currency - rency of some kind to be under the absolute control of the government to aliI in relieving the congested condition ! that annually occurs in the moving of the prolluce of the country ; in a government - ment and operated through the post office department and in a system of guaranteed - teed deposits to depositors in lanks to the end that the money of the countl ) ' may be kelt in the channels of trade where it be ongs. Above all we are in favor of a fa l count and a square deal and admonislJ our delegates to Bee that no backwald step is taken in the convention that meets in Omaha l\I rch 12th , 1908.
