talk as well as the operator who connects you are human The hastily spoken word and its inflection no matter what its provocation conveys an undesirable impression Courteous talk over the telephone is like oil on machinery it prevents friction and pays big returns Our operators are required lo be brief but polite under all curcumstances They are instructed not to answer complaints or carry on any conversation Their whole time is taken up executing orders for connections In dealing with you we try to be forbearing considerate and courteous realizing that the wires between us takes none of the sting out of unkind words Our operators try to treat you as they would face to face wont you afford them and the persons with whom you talk the same consideration Nebraska Telephone Company CHAS W KELLEY McCook Manager L THE McCOOK TRIBUNE McCook Greets Board The large attendance made it nec essary to adjourn the post prandial features to the rooms of the McCook commercial club after the indulgence in a little jolly and a tribute to the ladies by the toastmaster Mr A Bar nett Assembling in the club rooms the toastmaster introduced the chair man of the publicity committee who presented the following statement of the claims and advantages of Mc Cook for the location for the Ne braska School of Agriculture McCOOKS EARNEST PLEA Gentlemen of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings I am delegated by the people of McCook to briefly and precisely pre sent you some of the arguments and advantages of McCook as the location for the Nebraska School of Agricul ture recently provided and appropri ated for by the last session of the legislature of our state I shall not attempt to approach the subject with excellency of speech the money of the people of the state for the establishment of an agricul tural school in Southwestern Nebras ka 1 shall take it for granted it was their high and worthy aim to thus give the states aid to a worthy por tion of the commonwealth to assist in its development by scientific ag liculture teaching and experimenta tion thus to afford Southwestern Ne braska surer quicker and less expen sive solution of its problems of culti vating a soil itself distinct in char actc r from other sections of the sate and subject to different rainfall and topographic conditions With this reasonable and warrant- and are withal more easily at present tributary to the North Platte Experi mental station Mascot hill region or very close to ture herself has here fixed an arbi tary limit MoCook is the logical center of soil conditions typical of this entire dis trict west of Mascot AS TO RAINFALL West of Mascot hill we not only have distinct soil conditions from the level and ample plateau to the east but the rainfall is also much scantier according to the state records Even the superficial traveler on the rapid ly passing railroad train notes this fact McCook is centrally located in this similar rainfall area also TOPOGRAPHY After leaving the broad and fertile plateau of loess at Mascot hill we not only enter another soil and rain fall area but topographic conditions noticeably change to a more brok en and rolling country the character istic Southwestern Nebraska with a rich and fertile sandy loam soil yet 7 n1 s1 - STOCK RAISING The Eastman bill specifically feat ures stock raising as one of the pur poses of this school In both thor oughbred and range stock raising Mc Cook is most fortunately situated Some of the best thoroughbred herds in the west are within easy distance as well as some of the largest ranch es in the state McJCook is and has for years been preeminently a great stock raising center DRY FARMING AND IRRIGATION While presumably dry farming will be the chief concern of the author ized agricultural school for South western Nebraska and while in this the school will be of the greatest benefit to the greatest number yet McCook is again fortunate in being situated in a part of the district where irrigation is available where this form of intensive agriculture is now being practically developed In this respect the benefit would be mu tual and real In view too of the vast irrigation project now being pro- but 1 assure you with all earnestness raoted in Eastern Hitchcock and of conviction and sincerity of purpose Western Red Willow counties the At the outstart I shall assume I field and opportunities of such a I lib k fairly that the legislature of scilool woul1 herc be immensely en Nebraska knew what it intended to iarged do whpn it appropriated 100000 of SUGAR BEET CULTURE The production of sugar beets is admittedly destined to become one of the greatest agricultural factors in Southwestern Nebraska It has reach ed its largest development in the neighborhood of McCook which was largely instrumental in interesting beet sugar people in this part of the state in this enterprise and which can always be relied upon to boost this proposition in the development of the resources of this part of Nebraska RAILROAD FACILITIES While it may not be said with equal i DANBURY Mrs C W Rogers and daughter south cf Marion visited at the M M Young home last week The band gave a concert with a

-Mrs R O DeMay and Christie Ash ton were McCook shoppers one day last week Rev H W Allen and wife of Chi- able premise I offer our plea with trains stop at McCook the J A Strain is very sick at this confidence Naturally in order we first consult the map and fix in our minds what is geographically embraced within the limits established by the Eastman bill west of longitude 99 and south of the 4th standard parallel north The map in our presence completes to the eye what the language of the bill in this essential conveys to the nvnd and this brings us easily to thg point of logical location and by log- ters from which are operated a thou- writing He just returned from the sand miles of the Great Burlington System So McCooks railroad facili ties and advantages are par excel lence The possibility too that this school would be located near McCook has aroused a lively interest among railroad employes all over this por oi cf Nebraska Many of these rail road men are interested in the back-to-the-soil movement and believe that such a school would naturally equip ica we mean a location suggested many of their boys for intelligent and warranted by the unanswerable and successful farm

not claim the promise Why not come over into Macedonia and help us I offer this on the side not because I believe this board is narrow enough to be swerved from its duty by slan derous charges against this city but to make clear how we feel on this unfair assault made against this city by those who would do well to sweep cleanly before their own doors McCook is neither better nor worse than its neighbors We have church es and public schools of the highest grade our homes can boast just as many and as good and wide-a-wake boys and girls as can be produced un der the sun If vice finds some to
