The Republican may not look good to our readers from a news standpoint this week , but it makes us feel good.

If our readers will overlook the scaracity of news and read the advertisements they will find in them money saving bargains which will please. We are ar ranging for a much larger news service than heretofore. City Wins Against Pool Halls. In the induction suit brought by the proprietors of the billiard and pool halls of Broken Bow , and tried Tuesday questioning the legality of an ordinance pro hibiting the running of billiard and pool halls in the city. Judge Hosteller sustained the ordinance iu every particular. The pro prietors have appealed the case to the Supreme Court. In the meantime the billiard halls will continue to run until the Su preme Court passes on the case. It Pays to Advertise. As an illustration that it pays to advertise , the new clothing firm of Harmon & Kern is good evidence.

A page , a half page or a quarter page in which you can tell the people what you have to sell and quote the price will increase your business. Try it and see. Also remember that you cannot drive a 40-penny spike with one blow of a hammer. Jurors For September Term. Jurors drawn for September Term of the District Court , com mencing September 14 , 1908.
