Sunday was a quiet day as regards
amusement, but was not a day with
out its henetits. A regular Sunday
service was held. Physical Director
Anderson leading. He spoke on the
benefits of camp life.
The camp as a whole was a splendid
success, due not to the efforts of any
one individual but to the combined
efforts of the occupants of the various
tents and the different Columbus
jieopi" who helped transiort the camp
ers and their equipment and also by
Lh visits to the camp, and as one boy
said, "bringing some good eats with
them, 'specially that ham and I'll tell
you w didn't let 'er spoil either."
The discipline was fine, considera
ble credit going to some of the boy's
leaders who sacrificed much of their
time for the benefit of the camp.
These bos were Bert Phillips, Ward
Drake and Earl Colton. Physical
Dwector Anderson thanks all the boys
for their splendid discipline and also
those who showed such " untiring in
terest in making the camp the success
it was.
The lucky sixteeu were Bert Phil
lips. Ward Drake. Earl Colton. Glen

Walter Gass. Earl Babcock. Henry

Good Citizenship Day J
i
Rev. Thomas M. Evans, of Fuller
ton, was in the city Monday, and while
here called at the office of The Tri-i
bune-Jourual to explain his proposi-'
tion for a "Good Citizenship Day," to ,
be observed on Sunday preceding July
4 of each year. Mr. Evans has sub-
mitted his proposition to a large num
her of prominent people of the state
and nation, including the governors of
each state in the Union, for their ap-,
proval and advice. He has received
replies from many of his letters com
mending his idea and endorsing the
sentiments contained therein.
It appears also that the governors
Lof several of the states mistook his
letter as a request for an executive '
proclamation, but as he himself says.
"My purpose was only to get a con
census of opinion. While I hope gov-,
ernors will use their pleasure in the
matter. I trust the movement will
not in any sense be dependent on the ,
formality of a proclamation good as
they are."
Among others than governors from
whom he has received encouraging
replies are Former Governor Hanley. .
of Indiana. Hon. Richard L. Metcalfe,
of Lincoln. Dr. Francis E. Clark,
founder of the Christian Endeaver so
ciety. Rev. H. B. Hartzler D. D.. and
a number of others equally promi
nent. The following is a letter received
by Mr. Evans from Governor Aldrich.
and which is self-explanatory:
STATE OF NEBRASKA
Executive Office
Lincoln, Xeb.. May 19, 1911.
Rev. Thcs. M. Evans.
Fullerton. Xeb.
My dear Mr. Evans:
I have been thinking over your
proposition of having designated a
day to be denominated "Good Citizen
ship Day " Since the Fourth of July
seems to have desenerated into an
occasion of frivolity rather than that
of serious consideration. I think it ,
would be a good thing, if a day. as
you suggest, could be set apart for
the purpose of proper ceremonies that
would awaken in all of ns a keener
appreciation of our duties and respon
sibilities. And to this end I shall be
glad to co-operate wrth you along the ,
lines that you have already suggested !
to me.
Yours truly. '
CHESTER H. ALDRICH. i
Governor.
It is expected that many churches '
and societies, not only in Xebraska. ,
but in other states as well, will follow ,
out the lines suggested and observe
Sunday. July 2. as Good Citizenship
Dav not to take the place of a cele
bration of the Fourth, but as a solemn
supplement to it.

We are offering through the efforts of
Chas. I. Zirkle & Co., of Garden City, Kansas,
one of the best propositions now on the mar
ket, viz: over 100,000 acres of fine, level
land, well watered by springs and creeks and
all underlaid by an inexhaustible supply of
the very best and purest of soft water, at a
depth of from 6 to 80 feet; good, deep, rich
soil and at the extremely low price of from
$12.50 to $35.00 per acre.
In this section of Kansas the rain f all is
sufficient to mature any crop adopted to this
climate viz: Wheat, corn, oats, barley, kaffir
corn, milo maise, rye, millet, sweet potatoes,
irish potatoes and Garden Truck of all lands.
And besides there is on this tract of land
more than 20,066 acres of the very finest of
shallow water sub-irrigated land, ALFALFA
LAND, than which none other better can be
found in the WORLD.
The developement of Kansas has demonstrated
that every county developed in the line of march to
the West, has proven to be better than the territory
previously under cultivation in fact, one of the last
counties cf the fully developed Pawnee less than
50 miles East of the land we are offering for sale,
was FIRST in wheat production last year, and Ford
County, which adjoins this land, an only meagerly
developed, occupied FIFTH place.
As developement extends westward, land values
climb UP and UP and Finney county is just now; on
the verge of a great BOOM, yet people are not
aware of its magnificent possibilities; they will be very
soon, therefore now is the time to act.
p
Come and permit us to show you the actual facts,
regarding this great state, and especially Finney C ounty,
Kansas.
