McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA THURSDAY EVENING APRIL 13 1911
Ex Governor Shallenberger
Delivers a Fine Address
Ex Governor Shallenberger of Alma
addressed a fine audience in the Tem
ple theatre last Saturday afternoon
on The Advantages and Benefits of
an Agricultural College The gov
ernor is an enthusiast on the agri
cultural college proposition and has
an enviable reputation as a practical
and successful farmer and stock rais
er hence his utterances along the
line of agriculture soil stock etc
are entitled to weight Withal he
carries enthusiasm and energy and
optimism of a sane sort and is a
convincing talker a live wire in
street parlance
He is an earnest advocate of the
bacK to the soil movement and cred
its the soil with producing the best
conditions for the best citizenship and
human development and quotes his
tory fluently and copiously to prove
this pet theory of his Hence it is not
surprising to find him lined up with
all his energy and enthusiasm for the
agricultural college authorized by the
last legislature a bill he championed
vigorously and successfully
Unlike some others the ex-governor
believes such a school would have
before it a splendid growth and de
velopment and would be a tremend
ous factor in the scientific develop
ment of Southwestern Nebraska
Knowing that Southwestern Nebras
ka constitutes a distinct soil and rain
area the governor believes that this
school will prove finally most valuable
in discovering and developing the sci
entific basis for the culture of this
soil under the circumstances of small
rainfall conditions Eastern Nebraska
has its distinct soil and rain condi
tions Southwestern Nebraska has iUj
distinct soil and rain and climatic
conditions Hence it will be the prov
ince of this college to bend its every
energy to the solution of the specific
and special problems of this part of
tne state
Such a college the governor argues
will have a tendency to keep the
young men on the farm to elevate it
to the scale of a professionwhere the
farmer will stand shoulder to shouldet
with the banker the lawyer the
preacher in importance and dignity
That the school will make easier lesa
expensive and more certain the solu
tion of the difficult problems of dry
toil fanning in this section and there
fore will add immensely to the ad
vancement of this part of Nebraska
vithin a very few years from its es
tablishment
The speaker placed no small esti
mate on the benefits of the proposed
school to tins part of Nebraska and
no doubt succeeded in inspiring his
hearers with some of the optimism
and enthusiasm he felt for the meas
ure
In the evening Mr Shallenberger
was a guest of the McCook Commer
cial club where many members had
the pleasure of a more intimate touch
with the gentleman who served the
state well in the capacity of governor
and who is one of the strong and pro
gressive men of our part of Nebraska
The Tribune takes pleasure in thus
publicly extending Mr Shallenberg
er the thanks and appreciation of this
community for his address
ishop Beecher Addressed
McCook Commercial Club
Bishop Beecher of the Western Ne
braska diocese of the Episcopal
church while in the city last Friday
evening in the line of his official du
ties in this part of the diocese took
advantage of the opportunity to brief
ly address the members of the Mc
Cook Commercial club while remain
ing over between trains
The general trend of his remarks
was toward good citizenship that not
the money and might of a country
made it essentially great and endur
ing but the quality of its citizenship
Personally the bishop is a virile
torceful man who appeals to men
and his remarks Avere attentively re
ceived and enjoyed
Incidentally the bishop partially un
folded a matter near his heart the
founding of a farm for boys some
where in this part of the state The
bishop has been closely allied with
juvenile court work in Omaha for
years and this thought of a farm
for boys is the result of his observ
ations and experiences in that capac
ity
While this matter is in embryo the
bishop hopes in time to be able to
realize this dream and may in the
not distant future have something
more tangible to bring before the peo
ple of this part of his diocese
Boosts Agricultural College
and Good Roads Movement
An Omaha friend of the publisher
in a personal letter says some things
so pertinent that we take the liberty
of reproducing them here
I note that McCook is making an
effort to secure the location of the
new agricultural college and I hope
she succeeds as it is the logical lo
cation That part of the state west of
the 100th meridan known as the semi
arid portion and covering more than
one third of the state should have tin
new school where methods of dry
farming should be taught and devel
oped I have great faith in the fu
ture of that section of the state
though progress toward its develop
ment has not been very encouraging
to date There is much to be learned
how to procure the best results on
those dry farms and nowhere is there
Methodist Church Notes
The special meetings at the Metho
dist church will close with Easter Sun
day These meetings have been of
untold value to the church and a good
ly number of persons found peace and
their personal savious Rev Sturgeon
proved himself to be a man of God
and endeared himself to the hearts
more need of special agricultural edu
cation to meet the conditions and the
needs of climate and soil May suc
cess meet your efforts
Another matter that you people in
southwest Nebraska should not over
look and that is the good roads move
ment that is arousing so much inter
est all over the land Nowhere are
good roads built and maintained so
cheaply as out there in your country
If jou people build that road from ths
Color ilo line through Imperial and
down the Frenchman valley to Cul
bertson and on east it will become
the mail automobile road between
Denver and Omaha and no man or sel
of men can decree otherwise
Lily Patent Flour when once use
none other will satisfy you
to all people and hope to see many
come to enjoy its blessings The
pastor would be pleased to see all
members and friends on this glad
Easter day

Postoffice to Close On Sunday
As the department has approved of
the Sunday closing idea and begin
ning with Easter Sunday April 1G
there -will cease to be a Sunday deliv
ery by carriers I wish to fully inform
the public as to the extent of the
Sunday service
The general delivery window will
be open for one hour at the usual
time 12 to 1 oclock to accommodate
transient patrons and permit the nec
essary purchase of stamps and enve
lopes
Carriers windows will be closed
and it is not expected that patrons of
the city delivery service will call for
mail unless it should be something of
great importance when they may call
at the postmasters office and state
the circumstances The same court
eous attention will be given such re
quests as has characterized the of
fice heretofore
All incoming mails will be
uted as usual and patrons having box
es will receive exactly the same serv 1
ice as formerly The usual evening J
collections from street letter boxes
will be maintained and mails dispat
ched to out going trains as heretofore
The postoffice department believes
that postal employees are as much
entitled to -1 day of rest as are
er toilers and that a large part of
the Sunday delivery is wholly unne
cessary and it is hoped that McCook
people will look upon this change
with ine sanic liberal and charitable
spirit which has characterized the
citizens of other towns and cities
