wind and a jrentl efall of the
baaautiiful continuing throughout
the day Ilence everybody was
happy and hopeful and that
means much in life
While prosperity is not over
whelming us there is much to be
grateful for for what we have
and what we have not Little
real need and much comfort Al
together from a material and spii
iliual point of view the Christmas
of 1911 will be remembered with
pleasure

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE WHO DONT KNOW
Any one breaking the seal or in any way tampering
with moving or adding more lights to an electric meter or
having it done is liable to a fine of not less than 5000 or
more than 10000 for tlie first offense This is only a
small part of the privileges you cant take with electric met
ers and is a Nebraska law passed less than a year ago The
McCook Electric Co employs p eople to look after and move its
meters when necessary and you may find it cheaper to call

McCook is New Well Under Way

teicated in the promotion of a
hospital project for McCook was
hald in the McCook Commercial
rooms Thursday afternoon Mrs
Z L Kay temporary chairman
of the organization effected at
the first meeting called the meet
ing to order and asked for ex
pressions from those present as
to the course desired to be pur
sued in tlie matter
Dr C L Fahnestock suggested
that articles of incorporation be
drawn up and that by laws be
formulated both committees to
be ready to -report at the next
session This idea became a mo
tion and was carried
The idea was expressed that
it was not tlie present purpose to
build a structure for the hospital
but that some suitable building
should be rented for the purpose
and equipped for hospital uses
The committee on inicorporatioT
named is J F Cordeal Miss
Mary Morrissy Mrs W M
Baine
The by laws committee as Dr
and Mrs E D Perkins
Mrs C L Fahnestock offered
a motion to the effect that tlie
project be presented to the atten
tion cif the city council the com-
meiedal club and tlie county com
missioners and the suggestion was
adopted
It was the suggestion of Dr Z
L Kay that in the soliciting of
funds the city be divided into
twe sides with a chairman for
each section thus securing seme
cmulatictn in the contest
Mrs J F Jeirmberg was made
chairman of tlie west section of
the eity Mrs C C Liehtenberg
er of the east side
Dr R R Reed Dr C L Fah
nestcck Dr Z L Kay and Dr W
E McDivitt were constituted a
consulting committee for the two
chairmen
The meeting then adjournd te
