the Beet Fields The Tribune is reminded that the demand for workers in the sugar beet fields is now urgent The continued rains have given the bf ets a great im petus and the work of thinning weeding and cultivating is demanding early at tention With the close of school this week there will doubtless be a number of children available for the work men tioned and The Tribune hopes that they will rise equal to the occasion and will respond to the demand The acre age this year is much larger than it was last year amounting to about GOO acres and this amount of land in beets will require a large number of workers Tho supply of local labor is limited at best hardly equal to the demand from other sources and if the acreage of sugar beets shall receive proper cultiva tion at the right time it will be neces sary for the older school children as is being done in other parts of the state where sugar beets are being cultivated to onter the field The work is not heavy and good wages can be secured Should be Encouraged The Tribune believes that the city council should eucourage tho move now being made to secure for McCook a library As we stated in a recent issue about SG00 can be raised by a levy al lowed and authorized by law This amount will secure the services of a li brarian and besides provido a fund with which to materially increase the library annually The cooperation of the school board has been secured which will at once make available from that source 800 volumes Additions can be secured from private sources We understand that quarters are available in the court house for the library We have no doubt but that a library with considerably over 1000 volumes can be started at once if tho city council will make the levy and take tho matter in charge as a city enter prise appoint a library board etc We hope they will do so at once It is a noble enterprise and worthy the co operation of the city council Retail Clerks Organize The retail clerks of the city have or ganized a local branch of the Retail Clerks Internationrl Protective associa tion The organization was perfected at a meeting held last night The tem porary officers areE P Huber presi dent W S Guyer

crowded last Sunday morning to hear the Memorial services held therein on that occasion The sermon was preached by Rev L M Grigsby of the Methodist church and was much enjoyed for its vigor and fresh ness and originality He drew a picture of the history of this latest and greatest child of liberty and credited its greatness and glory to the fact that it was conceiv ed in religion and born in righteousness Tbe choir of the church provided a num ber of special and excellent musical selections Rev Frank W Dean of the Congregational church assisted in the ssrvice in the physical disability of the pastor Rev G L White The members of the G A R post and circle were present in organizations Sermon to the Graduating Class Despite the severe rain of last Sunday night the Congregational church was filled to overflowing on the occasion of the preaching of the sermon to the mem bers of the graduating class by Rev Frank W Dean The sermon carried the idea that real true success every good
