Business Men in Theatricals
The Chicago Herald of May 8th
said Its strange the strides busi
ness men have made in the The
atrical business since they began
investing in those enterprises No
longer is it looked upon as a haz
ardous game A coterie of solid
business men of Oliicago have or
ganized what is known as The
United Play company and have
bought the western rights to a
number of the leading dramatic
successes and will present the
plays in the leading cities of the
middle west and coast Some
minor towns will be visited to
shorten the -jumps
It is the ruling of the legal de
partment that the precinct assess
ors will not be elected tliis fall
but hold over with the county as
sessor Consequently the county
clerk will not print names of
candidates for asesssor on the- bal
lot except where there is a vacan
cv in that office

FORM CO ORGANIZATION
Automobile Association for1 Red
Willow County Formed
D E Watkins secretary of the
Nebraska Automobile association
was out from Omaha Friday and
assisted in organizing a county
association which is affiliated
with the state and the state with
the American Automobile associa
tion Mi- Watkins addressed a
gathering from over the county
in the afternoon and later in the
evening others in the Commercial
club rooms setting forth the ad
vantages to be derived from such
an organization of car owners to
assist in securing better roads
to have a part in securing feder
al and state aid in the building
of highways for protection and
in various other ways legal and
financial
The case presented appealed to
those present and such an organ
ization was thereupon formed
with an opening membership of
sixteen These members then
completed the organization by se
lecting F A Pennell as presi
dent and F M Khnmell as secretary-treasurer
these officers to
act until the first of the new
year
The president appointed J E
Kelley TV B Mills and J F
Cordeal as a committee to draft
constitution and by laws for the
county organization
An active canvass will be made
by tliis committee and others of
the association for a large in
crease of the present membership
A meeting of the association
wil lie held in McCoak Friday
afternoon November 3rd at 2
oclock for the purpose of com
pleting the organization electing
vice presidents etc
The expense of the organiza
tion is small 150 paying mem
bership fee and dues until Jan
uary 1st next
It is the opinion of those inter
ested that this association can
be instrumental in securing good
results for all concerned and that
in time every owner of a car in
tliis county will become a mem
ber of the association and that
it will even include those who do
not own a can- as the good roads
benefits and other advantages will
amply repay them for the small
amount invested
Fifty four counties in Nebraska
already have similar associations
The A A A now includes a
membership of 41000
Mr Watkins especially compli
mented Red Willow upon num
ber of cement bridges built and
building in the county The num
her now includes 28 structures
large and small a record he says
not excelled anywhere he lias
been in the state

COUNTY HOME PROJECT
Figures Showing What Is Being
Paid Under Present
System
It is the opinion of many who
have given the matter considera
tion that Red Willow county can
profit by buying a farm and tak
ing care of its needy and depend
ent ones in a county home or
county farm The present board
of county commissioners is giving
the people of the county the op
portunity of again passing upon
this matter at the coming electior
Under our present system pos
sibly the most expensive one im
aginable the cost to the county
in taking care of and providing
for its indigent people is large
and growing as the figures here
in offered indicate The cost for
the past thirteen years has been
as follows
1899 1558 73
1900 1699 80
1901 1686 60
1902 2018 17
1903 1765 14
1904 2114 52
1905 1971 09
1906 1892 23
1907 1995 77
1908 2082 46
1909 1157 76
1910 1493 46
19119 mos 1461 82
Ilic se figures speak for them
selves
The ballots at the coming elec
tion will provide the voters with
an opportunity of voting upon a
proposition to vote for or against
a proposed levy of one mill to
create a poor farm This amount
will practically in time provide
the county with a poor farm at
a cost little or no greater than
is now paid out eaeh year for
the poor and without any return
to the county
On a farm it is thought the
poor can be cared for more cheap
lythari under the present system
as they can have some employ
ment and this assist in keeping
themselves
Voters investigate this matter

SHALLENBERGER TALKS
Speaks About the Record of Ne
braska Democrats the
Tariff Etc
Ex Governor Shallenberger ad
dressed a fair sized and attentive
audience in the Temple theatre
Saturday afternoon
The ex governor hurriedly cov
ered the history of Democratic ac
complishments while they held
the reins in this state and made
out a ood case for his party and
lus administration altho he ad
mitted ho got into some serious
trouble therefor himself
But the tariff was the chief ob
ject of the ex governors skillful
attack Ho indicated that the
infant industry had become so
large and lusty that he had his
daddy licked and made a plea
tor a reduction of the tariff in
the interest of the consumer and
against the trusts and interests
and special privilege fellows
As The Tribune has said upon
other occasions Mr Shallenberg
er is not only a splendid gentle
man but a clever politician and
the Democratic side of our state
and national politics never suf
fers when he does the speaking
Besides he is intelligent and vir
ile and enthusiastic and wide
awake and interesting whether
you can follow him or not to the
end and to all his conclusions
