josh "Poor Little joe" when, in their
opinion, he vas entitled to sympathy.
Joe stands firmly by the declaration .
that the reason for his sudden contact
with mother earth was that the saddle
slipped forward on the horse, but Asa,
Hersh and Pars declare that Joe's fall
was due to his watching the young
ladies instead of the bronco; either wav
it is creditable fall. In our opinion it
is only another proof OF the old proverb
that "Man Cannot Serve two Masters"

PATRONIZE HOME MERCHANTS
The Folly OF Buying Of Canvassers and
PeddIers Easily Seen by a Little
Careful Thought.

A number of peddlers have been IN
GoodIand this week and are plying
their avocation in town and county
Beside the peddlers solicitors of orders
for groceries and other goods have fire.
quentIy worked this territory. Private
individuals, residents of the town and
county, having received circulars from
city houses. have also got up clubs
and sent of orders for goods. The
total amount of money thus secured
and the total of orders sent is much
larger than many have an idea Of. OF
course all this trade is lost to local
merchants.
People that practice this policy JUS
tify themselves on the ground that
they get goods cheaper and of an equal
" good quality; that the merchants of
Goodland charge too much for their
goods. How much truth there is in
this contention could only be diseOv-
cred by careful comparison Of prices
and qualities of goods; but it is safe to
say that if parties who make practice
Of giving orders to canvassers and
buying of peddlers would give the
matter careful consideration they
would hereafter patronize the home
merchants
Your grocer sends his delivery wagon
to your door every day, rain or shine,
to receive or deliver orders no matter
how small; his reputation is back of
the goods and if not satisfactory you
get your money returned or other
goods in their place; and at the same
time perhaps bears the burden of
carrying your account for 80 days, and
lastly, a careful comparison of quality
and prices of goods will show decided
advantage in buying of your local
grocery in preference to the caLvasser
or peddIer.
When you buy of the irresponsible
canvasser or peddler you have no
chance to right the matter should the
goods prove unsatisfactory, while you
pay cash and the money is lost forever
in the improving and upbuilding of
county and city, and maintenance of
home government.
Consider all points carefully and you
will find it to your own interest to
invariably give the home merchant
your trade

A BIG MOVE IN REAL ESTATE.
a Council Bluff Capitalist Purchases
s,4OO Acres Of Sherman County Land
"a an Tnresfment

II. Robinson, the real estate man, has
completed one Of the largest transfers
Of Sherman county reality in the his
tory OF GoodIand- Altogether the deal
includes 10 quarter sections in differ
ent parts Of the county, or about 400
acres.
The purchaser is a Council Bluffs,
Ia, capitalist who is buying the land
as an investment, and his agent, J. II.
Mayne, Of Council Bluffs, has spent
several days here this week driving
over the county looking at the prop
erty and expresses himself as being
fully satisfied that every quarter is as
represented and has so reported TO the
investor, who viii close the deal with
Mr.. Robinson Immediately.
The land was owned by parties who
were willing to sell cheap, the prices
ranging at about 81 and s1-25 per acre.
The purchaser VIII certainly find that
he has made a good investment, for
Sherman county land is attracting
considerable capital and an upward
tendency in prices is being felt.

Reouests Upoo a nIiIIionaire.

Hiawatha has a boys club. Its OBJ
ject is to help boys to get started right
in life One Of the women who is in
terested in the club wrote to Helen
Gould recently, asking her to contri-
butte something for the club. Miss
Gould replied that, owing to the many
requests she received for money, she
would be unable to give anything. A
printed blank was also sent giving the
analysis of the mail received by Miss
Gould in one week. She received !, BOB
letters. One person wanted to form a
colony in Cuba and asked for 81, 0OO,-
600. Only a third of the suPpliants
named the amount of money they
wanted, but that amounted to S549,-
5O2. One hundred and forty nine per
sons asked for money to raise mort
cages, 43 for church aid, 81 wrote for
old clothes, and II asked for good ad-
vice. Seven persons wrote that they
had named their children after Miss
Gould, one that he wished money to 60
shares on alfalfa raising in California,
another wanted to buy farm and three
COWS. The best of all, however. was
the young woman who wanted a house
so that she could get married at once.

The Weather.

The first warm weather of the year
came this week, and coupled with the
wet condition of the soil, has caused
the grass and all crops already in the
ground to start nicely. Grazing will
soon be good and cattle VIII rapidly
recuperate from the long siege of bad
storms during March and the first
half Of April.
Farmers throughout the county are
taking advantage of this spell Of nice
weather and are putting in late spring
wheat, corn, potatoes and forage crops.
A very light rain fell Tuesday evening,
and large banks of clouds have spoke
the near approach of spring thunder
showers.

BACK FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Alfred PrewItF, GOOdIand Boy, Serves
Nearly Two Years In the Islands With
the Band Of the Thirty-FOurth.

Alfred Prewitt returned to GOOdland
Sunday after an absence of nearly two
years, most of which was spent in the
Philippines. He left Goodland in July,
1899, and enlisted in the band, of the
Thirty fourth infantry which was re-
cruited at Fort Logan, Col. in Sept
ember and was sent to the Philippines
soon after.
PFewitt enlisted as private and was
given tuba in the band, but was soon
put on baritone and later advanced to
principal musician. The band gave up
their instruments for rifles soon after
actual campaigning in the islands be-
gan, and saw service nearly the entire
length Of Luzon at the head Of their
regiment. Out Of the d enlisted in
the band but IL returned with their
command, two being discharged and IL
being either killed in battle, dying of
disease or by accident.
The regiment left Manila early in
March, landing at San Francisco on
the 29th. Al was mustered out only
last week and came direct to Goodland
for a visit with his sisters, Mrs. Sam
BeideIman and Misses Pearl and Mamie

Monday night for a visit with their
father.

Az Opinion from nelson.

State Superintendent Nelson has
given an opinion in regard to the law
for compensation of parent or guar
dian for conveyance of pupils to and
from school in which he says: 1.-THE
law does not require that the board
shall pay the maximum amount of 10
cents per day to each pupil. 1t does
not require that some sum should be
paid, not to exceed that amount. The
intention of the legislature was that
the parent or guardian should come to
some equitable agreement whereby the
reasonable and necessary expense for
so conveying the children should be
paid. The fact that the parent or
guardian furnished the conveyance,
which was driven by one of the pupils
attending school, would not deprive
him Of a claim for compensation;
though doubtless the fact that no
special or extra driver was needed
would make a difference in the amount
of compensation to be paid"
