Variety the Spice Of Life.

Many elements contribute to
make a Chautauqua a success
first Of all it presents something
to please everybody. One wants
humorous lecture and he gets
it. Another wants a serious lee
ture and gets it. Others want
travel talks aud they get them
beautifully illustrated and pre-
sented by wide-awake, up-to- date
newspaper war correspondents,
who willingly risk their lives on
the firing line to be near where
things happen and get the facts.
Others want music and they get
lots of it, from the classic strains
of the Orchestra to the ever pop
ular plantation melodies Of the
colored Jubilee folks. Others
like the fun and frolic of the
moving pictures, and they are
furnished plenty Of it along with
the thrilling scenes of war, earth
quake, automobile races, etc.
Yet one of the greatest factors
of Chautauqua is the meeting
of old friends and neighbors, the
renewal of old friendships, the
latest news of Cousin Bill and
his new wife from way out west.

There never has been time
when Broken Bow needed more
houses to rent that at the present
time. Nearly every day strangers
are in the city inquiring for
houses. They want to come
here and make this their home
and patronize the merchants
grocers, butchers, fuel dealers
and others. They want to help
build up Broken Bow, but there
are no houses and they are barred.
Property owners, looking for
good investments, should study
this problem. People with
money in bank drawing little or
no interest might profitably in
vestigate the present condition
and by so doing not only make
money for themselves but help
the town.

There was never time when
labor saving machinery was in
greater demand than at present
This is especially true on the
farms. The scarcity and the
high prices of labor has made the
situation more acute than for
years. The agriculturalist is
confronted with a problem that
will require a great deal of
thought. He must prepare to
raise crops which can be handled
as far as possible by machinery
with the minimum amount of
labor. 1t will necessitate a
change in the methods of farm
ing and the practical man, fa-
miliar with all the conditions,
is better able to discover the So
luton than anyone else.

MORE LAND AVAILABLE.
Kinkaid's Amendment TO the Home
stead Law passed. 480 Acres,

gress Representative Kinkaid

important measure relating to
the entry and disposal of certain
lands in Nebraska. TIL. measure,
as approved, reads as follows:
That all qualified entrymen
who, during the period beginning
on the 2Sth day of April, 1904,
and ending on the 18th day of

the area affected by an Act en-
titled "An Act to amend the
homestead laws as to certain UNI
appropriated and unreserved
public lands in Nebraska, APP
proved April 28th, 1904, shall be
entitled to all the benefits of said
Act as if their entries had been
made prior or subsequent to the
aforementioned dates, subject
to all existing rights.
SEC. ?, That the benefits of
military service in the Army or
Navy of the United States
granted under the homestead
laws shall apply to entries made
under the aforesaid Act approved
April 29th, 1904, and all home
stead entries hereafter made
within the territory described in
the aforesaid Act shall be sub
ject to all the provisions thereof.
SEC. 3. That within the ter
ritory described in said Act
approved April %, 1904, it shall

An era of economy will prevail

An era of economy will prevail
in railroad circles in the future.
The decrease of the net earnings
OF the roads, because of the in
creased cost of operation, has
compelled the officials to lop off
all the extras possible. The
realization of the fact that the
time has arrived for increased
governmental control of the roads
has tendency to make the heads
of the great lines more conserva-
tive, especially along extension
and equipment projects.

Closing Agreement.

Last week the REPUBLICAN
called attention to the fact that
the agreement entered into by
business men, about year ago,
to close at 7 p. M, had become
frightfully bent, so they deemed
advisable to renew the compact
and make penalty for violation.
This was done, at a meeting
Tuesday night, as follows:
We the undersigned business
men of Broken Bow, Nebraska,
agree to close our places of bust
ness at Z o'clock, p. M, for one
year from this date, excepting
Saturday evenings, holiday week
and fair week.
We further severally agree that
for each and every violation of
this agreement the person violat-
ing it shall forfeit the sum of ten
dollars to charity, the said
penalty to be subject to the order
of committee selected by this
association.
We also agree to keep our
places of business closed on Sun.
days.

all young men of proper age,
whether they have any other
property or not"

The increase of production is
so much greater that the in
creased capacity of the railroads
to handle the business that the
suggestion of President Roose-
welt, regarding the development
of the inland waterways to aid
in transportation, has a most
important bearing. With proper
improvement Muddy creek might
be made navigable to certain
extent.

The Election.

The election in Broken Bow on
Tuesday failed to cause even a

controversy. Last year license

Broken Bow will be very wet in
the near future.
