Deputy Sheriff and Mrs. Ernie
Thomson are parents of a boy
II months old who is certainly
caution when it comes to
hazardous deeds. Out on the
ranch near Arnold, while Ernie
was away from hone, the lad
climbed a twenty-foot ladder on
the windmill frame and walked
out on cross-beam. There he
was discovered by Mrs. Thomson
and his grandmother, Mrs. G. U.
Richardson, and both displayed
the unusual nerve of not making
a scene and thereby startling the
boy and causing him to fall, but
neither had the strength OF
nerve to climb and rescue him.
The man working in the field
also saw the child's aeriel position
and lost no time in covering the
distance to the house and up the
ladder, and safely placing the
i. lad in the arms of the ladies who
all but smothered him to deatf
with hugs and kisses.

No Jury for Term of Court.

The November term of the
district court was to have been a
jury term, and jury was drawn
in accordance with law-for
the purpose, but after the docket
was prepared and there appeared
so few cases thereon, the attor-
neys interested met and decided
and Judge Hostetler consented,
that none but equity cases would
be tried at the November term,
which begins next Monday. This
move will save the tax payers a
considerable amount of money
and Inconvenience but very few
who have cases on the docket.

w. 3. Kennedy is resident of

Nebraska's Public Travelling Library.

The Nebraska Public Library
commission was created by the
Legislature of 1901 and began
active work the following Novem-
Der. Its purpose is to encourage
the founding of libraries where
none exist and the better admin
istration of those already estab-
lished, to give advice and iustruc-
ton, when asked, to all libaries
and individuals, and to all COM
munities as to the best means of
establishing, organizing and adj
ministering such Libraries.
The commission has a system
of travelling libraries. The trav-
cling library contains 40 well.sel-
ected books for children and
adults and is designed to furnish
reading to rural communities
which are not large enough to
support local Libraries. 1t also
may supplement the book collec-
ton of the small public libraries
whose means are limited. These
books are packed in box and
sent to any community upon an
application signed by five resi-
dents. The library may be kept
for three months with privileee
of extending the time, and then
exchanged for another. No fee
is charged for the use of the
books but the borrowers pay all
transportation expenses. The
Libraries may be kept in hotels.
stores, schools, residences, or
wherever they can be most wide
ly distributed.
The commission also lends out
books on special subjects to any
study club, literary society, libra
ry, or school. The borro wer
pays for the transportation of the
books.
Applications for travelinglibra-
ries, or for special loan of books
on a particular subject, or request
for information on the subject of
libraries, should be addressed to
the secretary of the commission,
Miss Charlotte Templeton, Lin
coin, Nebraska.

The post card craze has assum-
ed such magnitude that an effort
is contemplated by the powers to
put a clamp on it and by so doing
prevent its overflow of the mails
AS at present--to the sacrifice
of more important mail matter.
The attachment to cards of little
metal images, such as monkeys,
satans, baseballs, footballs, ETC.,
will get the restrictive clause,
while those that in the least bor-
der on obscenity will be relegated
to the hamper. The statement
is made from Washington that
the post card mania has reached
the magnitude of million cards
a day and that from forty to fifty
thousand are daily received at
the dead letter office. There is
some hope--by the aw akening of
the postoffice department-that
the fad will be checked, to a
degree of decency, at least.

The Marriage Was Cancelled.

If more marriages eliminated
as did one in this county recently
the divorce courts would have to
worry along on short rations.
Just why this particular marriage
was "nipped in the bud" was not
stated by the interested parties,
but the reasons must have been
sucd as 70 warrant the final
action. Bril- fly stated, Homer M.
Crane and Carrie Idens came to
Broken Bow with the intention
of getting their necks in the
matrimonial moose. Anyhow, Mr..
Crane visited the Office Of the
county Judge, secured the neces-
sary license and arranged to have
the ceremony performed. In the
course of couple hours Mr..
Crane returned to the Office un-
accompanied, and asked to have
the license Cancelled as they had
changed their minds and decided
not to join in wedlock, and the
judge very appropriately observ-
ed that it was we'll they did then
if ever.
1t would be we'll for many of
the youngsters who feel that life
is a barren waste without the one
they imagine they love devotedly
to take a little more time for con-
sideration--even though t h y
have fully decided that joy will
bloom profusely on the barren
waste if they are united.

age statesman rarely gets an OPP
portunity to distinguish himself

Facts for Tax-Paying Farmers.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the division orators and the divi-
sion newspapers claimed that 1t
was an outrage for people living
in the extreme corners of the
county to be compelled to travel
90 far to the comfy seat. these
same people went to the polls on
Tuesday and by their votes de-
clared they are satisfied as it is
and that they do not care to be
burdened with any more taxes
than at present.
Further, their votes go to show
conclusively just what those OPP
posed to division have claimed
and that is that the upshot and
backbone of the division scheme
10 by those towns which expect
to become county seats. Hence
division is not in the interest of
those who live farthest from
Broken Bow--as the divisionists
asserted-and the majorities in
those precincts indicate the voters
were not mislead by the division
takers and writer's.
Consider the vote cast in each
corner precinct of the county.
Elk Creek township, in the ex-
treme southeast corner of the
county, cast only 9 votes in favor
of division and 161 against it.
&. 5. Crossley, who brought in
the returns from Elk Creek, said
the tax payers there were not
decided by the schemes of the
Galloway ana Sargent real estate
dealers and property owners into
voting to raise taxes on the
farms in order to enhance tn,
value of city property.
Then in the extreme southwes
corner of the county is Wayn,
township, which, in case of divi
sion, would be IS miles closer 4
their county seat-assuming tina
Galloway would procure tina
plum. Out of total of 80 vote
cast in Wayne township only 2.
were for division.
In the northwest corner Haye
township fully understood tn,
situation - that division heap
up expense for the farmers 70
the benefit of town lot owners il
county seat towns-and out of n
votes cast, only ten were in favo
of division.
And to clinch the argument
and prove it beyond all question
OF doubt look at Sargent town
ship in the northeast corner, il
which is located the town of Sar
gent. 1t was conceded that il
case division carried the city O
Sargent would become the count
seat of the new county of Hie
gins and Sargent township out o
total of 337 votes cast, only 3
were against division.
Let tax paying farmers in a
parts of the county consider thes
facts carefully and when tn
question hobs up again, vot
against division unless they war
their taxes greatly increased
order to benefit the town lot owl
ers in the proposed new count
seat towns.
