Herbert ( /Myers / , Hdifor ; iml Publisher IK ) A I ) TO CAI.UWAY Mil-mil ) The Commercial Club of Broken How outflit to take up the question of securing1 a good road to Callaway. The road which is traveled at pres ent is rather a crooked one and not a very good one at that. This is perhaps noth ing in the line of rend Avork \vhich is more needed or which would give better results to the people of Callaway , the people of Broken Row , and the people who reside be tween the two cities , than to have a good straight road be tween the two cities. It would make it much more conven ient for the country people coming to Broken Bow or go ing to Callaway and it would make it much less difficult for the people in the western cor ner of the County to get to the County Seat. A committee of the Broken Bow Club should be appointed to confer with some of the Callaway people and if possible see that a road is put through. Jlo-ar does your store appear , in the company of your adver tised stores ? Is it worth while to conduct the best store and yet run the second best ads , or to run the second end best store , and have the tenth best ads' ? You couldn't conduct an im portant department of your tore in a space of a few feet , nor can you advertise it in a space of a few inches. | Havens much "elbow room" in your advertising as in your store. NMD ANOTHER POLICEMAN The robbery of George Willing's store last week only further emphasises the fact that Broken Bow's police pro tection Is inadequate. As matters now stand the city has but one olliccr and he goes on duty at noon and goes off of duty as soon as trains come in at night. This one oflicer is paid $ . " > 0.00 per month. The people of Oconto , where they have but one-fifth to one sixth of the population of this city , have one officer and pay him $50.00. The people of Callaway pay their police r $70.00 per month , liroki-n ! > ow from the stand pointy 'of police protection stands on a par with Oconto and is out stripped by Calla way. It seems only reason able to assume that , in at least a majority of the cases this'stealing or breaking into stores of the city is done af ter the city marshall goes oil' duty at midnight. The aver age man who wants to break into a store will wait until two to four o'clock in the morn ing , when the people are all oil' the streets and in bed. Consequently , in order to se cure adequate protection , the city should have a night and a day officer and these should be paid sufficient salary to en able the city to get a compet ent man. Isn't it important that you adjust the differences between what your store is , and what your advertising makes it ap pear to be ? The merchant who hopes to have people interested in his uds , will first have to get greatly interested in them himself. Rev. W. II. Xanders left Mon day morning for Lincoln , to at tend the conference on church federation. Rev. Xanders is one of three clergymen appointed by Bishop Graves to represent the Diocese of Kearney.
