business that Is not affected to a
greater OF less degree every year
because of this competition. The
per cent. made by these foreign
merchants on the goods they
ship into Custer county every
year would not only double the
income of every newspaper othce
in the county Should they receive
it for advertising their local
merchants but would leave the
merchant a handsome profit be-
sides. The way to meet the
competition is by judicious and
liberal advertising. Not until
our merchants realize these facts
and offset the influence of those
catalogue advertisers by adver-
Using their goods and prices
will the mail orders to Omaha
and Chicago cease to curtail and
draw largely from their trade.
In this connection we would sug-
gest that with the beginning OF
a new year is a good time for
the merchants of Broken Bow as
we'll as the merchants of every
other town in the county, Gala
way excepted, to turn a new leaf
in this business of advertising in
your local papers by contracting
for liberal space for the entire
year, then keep that space occu-
pied with the best bargains you
have to offer and see your bust
ness double. The columns OF

Pleasant Evenings on the Farm

The long winter evenings are
here again and in most farm
houses it is a question how to
spend them in a way which is not
only pleasant, but also that the
time will not be altogether vast

not get away from his work even
in reading time and he enjoyes
most of all sitting down and GO

magazine, like The Twentieth
Century Farmer. This is chock
full of the ideas of the brainest
men in the country, practical
men, who have been selected as
writer's because each in his own
line has made study of how to
make farming pay. One idea
from men like these may be worth
hundreds of dollars to any farme 1

Some months ago the British
and German governments entered
a propest at Washington against
the remission of our tariff on Ma
nilla hemp, They claim that it
was a departure from the presi-
DENTS assurance before we took
formal possession of the Philip
pines, of an "open door" in those
islands. The open door meant
doubtless just what it seems to
mean that the products of all
other countries should be admit
tedt the islands on the same
terms as the products of the Unit
ed States. What the tariff on ex.
ports from those islands to the
United States have to do with ar
''open door" is what we we would
like to have Germany and Great
Britain explain. 1t must have
required an enormous amount o
cheek for the two powers to join
in a protest against our admis
sion of Manila hemp free of duty
Don't they admit it free duty,

Weekly StOckyards Letter.

Omaha. Neb., Dec. 31.-Any
othar stockyards. in the country
would have been crippled by the
great fire which visited the South
Omaha stockyards Christmas
morning, but these yards were
apparently not inconvenienced IN
the least degree by the schorch7
ing the sheep pens received The
new main sheep building was
completely destroyed. 1t was
structure l76 by 700 feet, of frame
and covered with galvanized iron.
Several hundred sheep were burn
ed to death during the fire, as the
intense heat prevented any
attempt to liberate them bein g
made. Not a stick of timber in
the enormous building was left
standing, but by Friday after
noon such Roadway had been
made that the debris was so near
ly cleared away that nothing but
the smoked ground indicated that
a great conflagration had ragged
the day before. General Man
ager Kenyon immediately began
preparations for rebuilding the
structure and then walls of a more
substantial building will soon be-
gin to rise. In tie meantime the
sheep arriving daily are not with
out shelter, the old barns, dis
carded when the new barn was
built, being brought into requisi'
ton again and furnishing ad.

There is a war On in the Re

the same old KerenS and anti.
Kernes feud. In other words
it is Roosevelt against Hanna.
Roosevelt clubs are being form
ed throughout the state, back,
ed by the Missouri State Repub.
lican of which E. O. Brockmey'
er is editor. 1t is the Missouri
State Republican against the
Globe Democrat. The Republi.
can scores hard on the Keren'
sites by showing that every one
of the doodle Republicans so
far caught voted for Kerens
and the strong anti Kerens men
voted against the Baking Pow
der trust. Brockmeyer is an
aggressive fighter and is well
posted on Missouri political
history and We predict he will
win ont with his Roosevelt
clubs. The old Hanna post,
office organization has had
many hard jolt in the last
