Western Union Man is to be Trans
ferred to lola, Kansas.

C. J. Haviland, since January II,
1907, manager of the Western Union
Office in Norfolk, has been notified
that he is to be transferred to the
company's Office at lola, Kan. The
transfer is a promotion in the tele-
graph service.
lola is a Kansas town in the center
of the Kansas oil fields. It is a larger
town than Norfolk and the lola office,
according to the superintendent ad.
vice to Mr. Haviand, transacts about
twice the business Of the local office.
Manager Hayiland has not been no
tilted when the transfer will become
effective. Neither is it known who
will relieve him at the Norfolk office.
1t is a peculiar coincident that Mr..
HayiAnds transfer will take him to
the vicinity of his former home and
where he still has many friends. Man
ager Haviland has been in the Western
Union service for three years. The
position at lola carries an increase in
salary.

Publicity Temptations"

The merchant is led up into noun
tains of temptation" very often in the
course of planning his advertising.
He is assaied almost every day, by
the various floating schemes for So
called advertising-by the gentry who
work" town after town and city after
city with advertising schemes" OF
various kinds. Now and then one of
these is somewhat novel, and-losing
sight of the other fact that it is other
wise quite wOrthless-the merchant
throws away a little of his advertising
appropriation. He could be just as
effectively original if he changed the
dollars he invests in such schemes
into pennies and amused himself by
scattering them from housetops. He
would attract attention" by such a
proceeding-but he would not appeal
to his fellow citizens as a good adver-
tiser.
The "scheme-proof" merchant is the
one who has learned to concentrate
his fire upon the target He has learn
ed that the best advertising is that
afforded him by the best newspaper in
| his city; that he helps this best news
paper to grow still better, still more
creditable to the city, by liberal ad'
vertising patronage. And he knows
that every dollar of his advertising ap-
preparation foolishly spent has to be
withheld from his real advertising
campaign.
OF course, every merchant knows
that not all newspapers are worth
while advertising mediums-but the
poorest newspaper is UNNECESSARILY
better than the best of the vagrant
schemes" that come along.

INDEPENDENCE Of WEST
FINANCES OF THIS SECTION NOT
AFFECTED BY EAST.
NO TROUBLE FEARED IN WEST

Prosperity Of the West PrecIudes Pos
eibiIity Of Danger Being Read In the
Financial Troubles Of New York
and the East.
The recent financial furry in Wall
has, 1t is pointed out in Norfolk, only
served to place emphasis on the new
independence Of the west in matters
financial.
In none OF the big western financial
centers have western bankers read
danger to their section from the
course Of the finances Of New York
and the east. Western prosperity, 1t
is pointed out, is firmly planted and
the west has neither over-reached her
self in improvements nor built with
borrowed money.
The feeling Of western stability, no
ticeable in the bigger cities of the
west, Is nowhere stronger than in
bank loans are founded on the riches
of north Nebraska rather than on
eastern industrial paper puts this city
in another field from the seat of east
ern trouble.
The recent furry has brought no
change in the banking business OF
Norfolk, which in respect to loans is
proceeding in the same conservative
course that was followed before the
copper difficulties.
Prosperity is written in large let
tiers all over north Nebraska this fall
A fundamental basis of north Nebras'
ka prosperity is the bank roll of the
farmer and ranchman and from po
tatoes to fat cattle the year has the
real sign marks of the season of plen'
| ty.
Because the west is not dependent
on eastern markets it can not have its
cash supply cut off by an eastern strin
gency for the cash supply of north
Nebraska and the west this year lies
in its own bank vaults and the big
checks that 4 is cashing from the sale
of its produce.

FOOTBALL At MADISON
NORFOLK HIGH SCHOOL BOYS GO
TO COUNTY SEAT.
TEAM HURRIEDLY ORGANIZED
Norfolk Had Not Expected to Play the
Game This Year But a Challenge
Quick Preparations Were Made.

A Norfolk-Madison football game
at Madison was the feature of Madison
county's sporting program Saturday
Down at the Olney building, where
the Norfolk high school and the sew
enth and eighth grades are housed,
there has been recent revival of foot
ball. To meet challenge from the
Madison high school a football team
was put in the field to represent the
Norfolk high school at Madison Sat
urday afternoon. AS a result of the
best players on last years team hav-
ing left school the high school lineup
this year will be lighter than usual.
This is the lineup Of the Norfolk
high schools new team: Bridge, left
end; Beeler, left tackle; Morrison,
left guard; Hibben, center; Taft, right
guard; Durland, right tackle; Keleher,
right end; Erskine (captain), quarter
back; Luikart, left half back; Thomp.
son, right half back; Ogden, full back;
Gwinn, Anderson, substitutes. A. G..
Kennedy Latin instructor, will man
age the team.
The team, accompanied by delega-
ton of Norfolk high school students,
left Norfolk Saturday morning to take
the measure of their Madison oppon-
ents.
The Norfolk boys did not leave Nor
folk very confident of victory. Sever
al of the best players were reported
to have been injured In the last prac-
tice and the Norfolk team had the
prospect of being outweighed by the
Madison lineup. The average weight
of the Norfolk team was given at 1856
pounds, of the Madison team at 145
pounds.
The high school at the beginning Of
the season did not expect to put a
team in the field. After the Madison
challenge enthusiasm for the great
fall sport revived.

Tuesday. November 5, is election
day. The polls as usual will be open
from s a. m. to p. m. In addition to
county and precinct tickets the cleo
ton of a supreme Judge, a railroad
commissioner, two university regents
and a district judge is at stake.
The apparent certainty of repub-
lican success as regards the state and
a greater part of the county tickets
has led to a noticeable political apathy
over the county, particularly in evil
dence in Norfolk. Madison, however,
has worked up political atmosphere
that attests the closing days of the
campaign. What interest has been
instilled in other parts of the county
has largely resulted from the two or
three warm contests in the county
campaign where political stategists be-

Norfolk Is expected to warm up"
to the campaign somewhat during the
week. This week will see most of the
county candidates in Norfolk on diff

of things, the county board selects the

case, but the treasurer is required to
give a surety bond, and the company
furnishing the bond has it's represen.

treasurer's accounts every month. In
addition to these safeguards of the
