Here is good suggestion from Iowa:
"The Cedar Falls Savings Bank in that
State last summer offered number Of
prizes to the boys and girls under l6 and
over 10 years Of age who would earn
and save the most money between the
first of March and first Of September.
The prizes ranged from one TO five dol
lars and brought out lively competition.
Aside from the good the bank did the
community in educating children along
the line of saving, it will be at once
recognized that as an advertising feature
it was worth far more than it cost"
If the Custer banks would adopt some
such scheme, the CHRONICLE believes, as
an object lesson, it would well repay the
effort and money expended for prizes.
Where is my boy tonight? You are
his father or mother, and if you desire
to lay your hands upon your boy within
FIVE minutes any night, you wouldn't
know where to find him. He's on the
street somewhere, or at the railroad
jumping on freight trains, but just where,
with whom, in what engaged, what plot
ting or what executing for the shre~ der
ones who plot for him, you could not
tell for the life of you. He has good
home and ought to be there at night
He desires to be somewhere else with
the boys, and you lack the moral courage
to insist that he shall be where he
should be. You hope he will escape the
pitfalls, YOU know the chances are
against him. Why don't you do the boy
the kindness to keep him home nights?
The time will come when he will thank
you for it--or reproach you. for not
doing it.

The school board has closed another
chapter in the history Of the new
school building, Saturday the con
tract was awarded to Bohrer Bros. of
Falls City for $1,000 and the work is
to be completed by August 18th. After
erecting the building, paying for the
site and installing n heating plant in
the Washington building there will
be about $3.50 in the building fund for
the purchase of globes, maps, and
other equipment needed in the new
building.
This building will be handsome and
substantial. II will be OF the classical
design and will be always in style.
Plans are:.. provided for an addition
whenever needed. The foundation
will be of Colorado Red Sand Stone
and the.walS 81 inches thick. Such
n building will last for more than 9
century. There we're about a dozeI
contractors who put in bids for the
work aud the board feels that they
have secured a bargain, We should
have been pleased if some of our loca
contractors had been awarded tn,
contract but of course would not lik,
to see them lose any money.
The Red Cloud chief., 1909-03-25

We wish it distinctly understood
that the policy of this paper, so far rs
local politics is concerned, is strictly
non-partisan. \ mans views ON the
money question or IN our island pos
sessions or ON the Hotcntots will not
~disqualify him from serving the city
of Red Cloud in our opinion. We dis
like very much to see rival interests
display their wmmosities in city
affairs. What we want is to have men
in charge of our municipal affairs who
will guard the city's property with
Jealous care and give MS II clean,
straight administration
The men who will put our electric
light plant on n paying basis and
adopt systematic methods in all
branches of our city government will
receive our unqualified endorsement,

duced by democrats and were demo
cratic measures
a quarter of a million was cut from
the usual appropriations in II day
the appropriation requested for the
state fair amounting TO $4,000. 1t
was the opinion Of the Legislators that
this big show ought to he able to
stand upon its The
state has been pretty liberal about
this matter, in the past, but the senti-
mcnt seems to prevail every where
that this show ought to pay its own
way. The grounds and buildings have
been furnished, the attendance has
been immense and there is no reason
why the association should have any
outside help.
A bill has been passed providin 6
that hereafter all appeals from the
holding of the railroad commission
shall be direct to the supreme court
instead of to the district court as un-
der the old law. This simplifes the
procedure and does away with a lot of
unnecessary delay in going through
the various courts.
The measure fixing a license to be
paid by the various corporations of the
state which has passed the senate will
add nearly 5000, 600 to the revenues of
the state and at the same time is so
equalized thas N0 hardship is put upon
any of the companies that pay tax.
One hundred of the bankers of the
state, most of them owning national
banks, appeared before the senate
committee on banking a few nights
ago and a number of them made ar
guments against the new guaranty
law, They were notified by Chairman
Volpp that they were wasting their
time in efforts to defeat the measure
but that suggestions as to the amend
ment of the bill would be ~cheerfuily
listened to-. Mr.. Black, Of Hastings
former president of the state associa
ton of bankers, stated that the bill wa.
probably the best that could be pre-
pared.

The change in the appearance ofour
city during the past six years is very
noticeable. About six years ago Red
Cloud was famous for her poor side
walks, now one can look rs far as the
eye can reach and see permanent side
walks leading in all four directions.
The style of architecture has also
undergone n change and all the new
houses are strictly modern, artistic
and handsome. Red Cloud hos chang
ed and changed very much for the
better.
The Red Cloud chief., 1909-03-25

The Odd Fellows home has been
located at York. We believe no better
place could be found in the state and
we are pleased that this order has at
last brought one of its long cherished
plans to fruition. This home will pro-
vide for orphans of members of the
order. Most of the states now have
homes of this character and we CON
graduate the Nebraska Odd Fellows
upon their success.
The Red Cloud chief., 1909-03-25

II gives us much pleasure to note
that u few OF the big daily news papers
are doing away with their comic Sun
day supplements. There is nothing
more injurious to children in the way
of pictures than thos6 comic editions.
Apparently harmless in themselves
they yet incite children to wrong
which often leads them to malicious
mischief.
The Red Cloud chief., 1909-03-25

The merchants of Red Cloud are
adopts at window trimming. A
stranger passing a long our street can
not but be impressed with the skill
and art displayed on every hand.
Nothing helps the appearance Of any
city more than handsome displays in
show windows and we certainly have
some real artists in this town.

n you please the north ward school
NJ longer exists. The school board
has named it the Washington school
and the new building will be known
as the Lincoln school. We believe
that Brother Hosmer is entitled to the
credit Of first suggesting the change.

A mothers vision was the primary
cause of the discovery of the murder
of her nineteen-year-old boy, Thur
man Walker, OF Goodland, Kan. The
confession of the murder was given
the Pueblo police by Clarence Num-.
So strong was the dream of the
mother that she sent another son to
Colorado to hunt for the lost boy.
On September IL the body of the
youth was found in the Arkansas
River near Nepasta with a strap
drawn tightly around the neck.
The mother in her dream had seen
the boy lying cold in death on the
prairie, while a companion galloped
away on a horse IN the darkness.
Num- is alleged to have told the
police that he lured the boy to take
an overland journey, thinking Walker
had some money. All he got was G
saddle and IS, which he took from
the body after shooting him as he
slept. The body was too heavy to
carry, SO he put the strap around the
neck and dragged it to the river
