CLEAN MONEY.

There is a growing demand tina,
money shall be not only clean as far
as legitimate and honest ways of OBJ
tanning it are concerned, but that II
shall of itself be bright and new and
wholesome.
1t has been ascertained by investi
cation recently made by the govern
ment that under microscopic examin
alton an average piece of paper money
moderately clean, carries 22,50O bac
terra. On an average unclean bill
there will be found about $4,000 bac
terra. 1t should be understood, how,
ever, that many of these are harmless
but some are liable to carry the germs
of deadly diseases.
Paper money like everything else
is the victim of its environment How
can it help gathering to itself a great
deal Of filth and foulness? Take a
dollar bill from the bank, crisp, new
and bright and send it forth on its
mission of usefulness. In three months
time it is liable to pass through a
great number of hands. All classes of
people use it and pass it on. The
rich, the poor, the thrifty, the shift
less, the clean and the unclean. Is 1t
any wonder that after comparatively
short career it turns up ragged, be-
grimmed and unwholesome?
The life of the average dollar bill Is
said to be twenty months while the
average five dollar bill manages to
hold its responsibility for about three
years. The government annually
destroys about 100000 900 of paper
money and replaces it with new.
Still the supply of new currency is
inadequate. This call for clean money
is one of the minor reforms but it is
evidence of the increasing desire there
is for the general tidiness and is very
definitely in the interest of public
health. 1t is not possible to keep all
the money clean and sanitary but 1t
is possible to improve conditions
greatly by providing some method by
which anybody that wishes could
have his old money changed for new
without expense to himself.

stupidity and negligence of school
authorities. Some one had Numbered.
In this age OF the world, such repeated
tragedies as the country has had of a
similar character, such negligence
seems utterly ineXcusable and yet 1t is
easy to blame these people in Cleve-
land. They had to pay the penalty of
their negligence and into many home
in that community the Angel of Death
has brought sorrow and desolation.
But the lesson of 1t is not alone for
Cleveland. 1t Is for every town and
city in the country. There should be
thorough examination Of every pub
lie building, whether 1t be school, a
church or hall, to see that the doors
swing outward. There should not only
be in every public gathering clear and
abundant exits but there should be a
careful avoidance of any semblance

cy of any kind.
The News Is confident that these
matters are all held in due regard and
carefully observed in this city, but
nevertheless it is well every where
that we should understand that eter-
nal vigilance in observing the public
welfare, in insisting that others OBJ

THE VALUE OF OPTIMISM

Cast your onions into the freight
car and the bouquets will come after
many days; plant hogs and the mess
pork market will in time sit up and
take notice; scatter optimism per-
sistently and sunbursts of gladness
will crown the work" This brilliant
flash of rhetoric is taken from the
Fort Worth (Texas) Star. 1t bears ev-
idence of an enthusiastic appreciation
and patriotic devotion to the interests
of a great state. It's the kind of stuff
that sounds good. It's the kind Of
talk that helps to make good and its
the desire to make good that is the
propelling force in the prosperity and
glory OF any state or community. 1t
is this snirit that hos haInad co ,.,,,ol.

to push Texas to the front during
these last few years aud 1t is this
same spirit that every state In the
union needs and no state within the
limits OF the republic has more reason
for 1t than this beloved state of Ne
braska.
There are many things that Texas
has to contend with that Nebraska has
not over this state blow the winds
which bring us health and invlgor-
alton and energy in the winter time
and during the eru mer months help
to onergize the growing crops and
bring the blessed rain under whose
stimulant nature responds so magnif-
Gently. Nebraska's boundless prairies
afford tremendous resources and in
comparable wealth to constantly
growing population.
Here in this wonderful Elkhorn
valley, In which Norfolk is so happily
situated, as the central distributing
point Of a great area of country, nature
gladdens the heart of man by wonder
full responses from the soil. Here the
farmer Is king. On every hand there
stretches out, for mile upon mile, a
broad expanse of fertile lands occupi-
ed by agriculturists whose thrifty
buildings weighted down with abun-
dant crops of grain and vegetables Of
various kinds, and underneath whose
roofs are sheltered the choicest herds
Of cattle, horses, flocks of sheep and
countless swine stamp them as no in
sigma Of rank possibly could, as the
veritable kings of the earth.
Nebraska's climate is far superior
to Texas There is no malaria to con-
tend with here. Business opportuni-
ties in Nebraska are varied and in
creasng They are more abundant
today than ever before, and in all the
state no town offers better induce
ments to the man who wants to get a
foothold in life than Norfolk. Every
Norfolk's industries and business life
Is on a very solid foundation. More
than this, there is here a spirit of
alertness and enterprise which presages
greater future. Norfolk is on the
threshold Of a development and a
growth which will make 1t the largest
the best and the most successful bus
mess point in this part of the state
of Nebraska. There can be no quest
ion about it, He who runs may read.
All that is needed is a large abund-
ance in tho hearts of its people of that
spirit of optimism which has a super
lative belief in Norfolk and with it
resistless energy and dauntless de-
termination to make good.
Actuated by this spirit, Norfolk will
make good. Let us be optimistic with
large amount of sane common sense
and obstinate persistence in watching
every corner of the road that makes
for Norfolk's growth. Let us as citi-
zens of Norfolk show the world that
we are ahead of the times rather than
behind them. Then will other people
sit up and take notice and men who
are looking for a splendid state in
which to live and a progressive city
in which to locate will come to us by
the score and Nebraska and the town
in which we live be benefited and
built up.

rose angrily.
Hustace went ahead, however, until
he was interrupted by Dwight, who
said that he had understood that there
was counter petition that had been
received long time before. but on

where II was. Hustace Immediately

and It was read along with the names
appended. This petition, which was
directly mt variance with the one und

that Gerc be retained on the road
force AS the other one had demanded
his removal. When asked why he had

that the Supervisors would take any
notice Of the one asking that Gere be
removed, and consequently had moi
thought It worth while. This petition
