Firemens' Thanksgiving Ball
The annual Thanksgiving ball
"given by the fire department of
Broken'Bow , always one of the
principal social features of the
seas-on.was bigger and better than
over this year. The opera house
was the seine of the festivities ,
and long before the opening
the auditorium was crowded by
the fire laddies and their numer-
our guests. Prof. Frank Taylor
and his excelent orchestra , aug
mented for the occasion , furnish
ed the best of dance music , while
the ladies of St. John's Guild ;
were responsible for toothsome ,
, home-in : do ufreshments that
J smacked of Thanksgiving at every
mouthful. Even though there
had been no hungry people on
the floor the masterful spiel made
by comrade L. E. Cole in behalf
.of the r.nibcr-hued coffee and the
sand-wich , would have
[ melted tlu1 h'oart of the most fas
tidious < - ) -ure jind turned him
'from ' : > blast critic to a famished
mortal. Many people from sur

swell the number of pleasure

pleasant impressions of a most en
joyable < vi ning.

A Show of The West. _
Ilc.iltaing the benefits of n mid
winter educational show of west
ern agricultural products , Ne-
hraskans will not let the Nation
nl Corn Show idea die out , but
now pro | esc to replace it with
an exhibit of all the farm and or
( hard products of the west.
Limited as it is to the exhibits
' I slates west of the Missouri
river , such a show is aimed to bet
ter serve the purpose of boosting
the vrc.'tern country by giving a
graphic lesson under one roof of
the possibilities of the lands be
tween the river and the Sierra
Nevadas.
The idea of the promoters of
this latest western enterprise is
to bring together such honest representative
resentativo exhibits from western
states and .districts as will give
11 visitor ii clear idea of what is
possible on western lands without
necessity of traveling thousands
of miles to see irrigation projects
new farm lands , dry farming re
gions and old and well develop
ed farms in Nebraska , South Da
kota and Kansas.
The Western Land Products
exhibit will be sort of a panor
ama of the country west of the
Missouri river with such displayn
of products as will give anyone
an intelligent idea of each sec
tion of the country where farm
ing or fruit growing is the prin
cipal industry. Does a farmer or
investor want to know Nebraska
without traveling over the state ?
Look at the Nebraska exhibit.
Inquirers about a certain valley
in Idaho or the products of the
great Salt Lake basin , may be an
swcrcd by visiting the exhibits
brought together for this honest
purpose.
The Western Land Products
exhibit will be held in Omaha )
Jan. 38 to 28 in the Auditorium ,
which has 39000 square feet of
exhibit space.
When you attend the big show
in Omaha this winter don't for
get to mention to the people you
meet that Ouster county is in the
central part of Nebraska and .in
one of the best corn and alfalfa
districts in the United States and
if you meet a prospective settler
invite him to Ouster county and
locate him hcr.e if yon can.
