We have been hearing a. noise
like free delivery of U. S. mall. In

The longer some of the "plums"
hang on the buuh the more they
arc "squashed" when they arc

Somebody should have told Santa

If yon think yon are a good ,

Nebraska corn yield for 1910 was
178,923,128 bushels. If Nebraska's
corn was ground to meal and made
Into the " 30 years ago" corn dodger
wo could give every pap , mother and

some lunch.
"A New York couple aged 90 and

G. P. Browning , a private detect
ive at DCS Molnos , was sentenced to
two years hi the state penitentiary

At last some of the leading city
hotels are taking notice to the fact
that public sentiment is strongly
ugalnst the society boo/.o party and
other'stunts pulled off by some of
the thin skinned aristocratic dames ,
using the words of a well known
preacher , "society life Is hell , "
The Enterprise ( Ansolmo ) has a
creditable wrlteup on the court
house question , in fact Its the best
yet. 'Its a pleasure to read an ar
ticle based on facts , especially when
mich an Important matter Is up for
consideration. Vote for the levy
and bo assured of u safe place for
the county records.
Representative Gandy has already
assumed the dignified air of ono
who Is about to enter the law fact
ory , only a few more days and our
friend Jesse will depart for the
capital city whore his stay during
the session of the legislature will
insure him a number of now friends
lie's a good fellow and won't stand
lor any monkey bnelnesa when It
comes to new laws.
j
Less than two weeks to settle the
court houbo question. We need the
court house and have reason to be
lieve every thinking man will vote
.for the levy. Don't bo mislead by
the statements of those who are
putting up the talk of their lives fo
liersonnl gain , a court house for
Custer county Is a necessity to the
taxpayers af the county and not ar
ornament to beautify Broken Bow
as the county Beat fighters would
liavo you believe.
3ts n hard matter for the county
tllvislonlhtB to keep from mixing di
vision with court house building , es
tablishing county seats and the real
estate interests of a few speculators
3t Is very apparent to the close ob
server that a poor excuse boats
none. Now they say our county
jjourd said one thing and meant an
other. Taxpayers , especially people
ple who have taken the trouble to
investigate will vote for the levy
and a court house will bo built.
Few people will find fault with
the proposal to establish a Foods
Standards Commission , which IB mil .
/mother / step toward the socuremont ,
of uniformity ; but It Is to bo ex-1
pcctcd that , when the commission
Is created , IIti rulings will bo at
tacked at times , even by some of
those who now advocate its cre
ation. As for the demand that t >
enforcement of food laws bo ill
vorced from politics , It Is unassail
able In theory and everyone knows
that Us adoption would result In a
fairer and more efficient enforce
ment than wo arc likely to get un
der the political system. Its uni
versal acceptance , unfortunately ,
seems yet a great way off , for rea
sons readily supplied by every man
who has acquaintance of "practical
politics. "

Custci1 County .
In 1910 Custer county rank first
In the production of corn , fourth In
potatoes and fourth In alfalfa. Fol
lowing Is the yield. Corn 6,151,850
bushels , potatoes 187,450 bushels ,
alfalfa 72,028 tons. This Is a won-1
derful showing when we look back
twenty years and think of Custer
county farmers driving a binder in
the grain fields and the yield hard
ly sufficient to return the seed , and
alfalfa at that time not known here.
We are on the way to first place
In all lines of agriculture. i
It might bo _ of Interest to our
readers to know that other cereals
are of some consequence in the
county so wo will give you the ta
ble In full as shown by crop sta

Iloy U. Barnard of Callaway , Cus
ter county , while In Omaha on busl-1
ness , expressed surprise that some
people still persist In alluding to
his county as being In the sand
hill section.
"If they will look at the state and
government reports concerning the
crop production they will change' '
their notion , " said Mr. Barnard.
"Not only In the live stock line but
In grains and grasses and alfalfa
Custer county docs not take a back i
seat from any county In the state ,
all things considered. At the coming
land show we will have some ex
hibits unless present plans fall that i i
will prove the fertility of Ouster
county soil and the opportunity for
diversified farming by modern meth
ods. "
