Advertising Pays.

We are indebted to the Granite
(Ore.) Gem for the following,
which argues powerfully in favor
of publicity, even in the matter
eggs: ANY way you take it,
advertising pays. A mud turtle
lays just as m my eggs in a sea-
son as does hen, and lays them
all in bunch, which is bound to
be more of a mental strain; but
turtle doesn't advertise and the
hen does, and the result is there's
hundred calls for hens eggs in
the restaurants where there's one
for turtles"

base TO congratulate himself
failed to make home run.

Currie Will Harness the North Loup.

F. M. Currie is now at work on
project which gives promise of
attracting considerable atten-
tion in this part of Nebraska.
The North Loup River at Bur-
we'll makes loop of several
miles, the distance across the
mouth of this loop from one
channel to the other being three
miles. BY cutting a ditch across
a fall of ~ feet can be secured
and the volu me of water with
this fall would be sufficient tc
develop 1000 horse power.
Mr.. Currie has secured the
services of an expert engineer
who is now at work on the pro
ject and after his report is sub
mitted, Mr. Currie expects to or
ganize a company for the purpose
of developing power for public
and private plants. lis though
that power can be furnished
Burwell, Ord, Arcadia, Comstock
Sargent and Broken Bow. 1t il
not the intention of the propose'
company to ask for a franchis
in any of the places named but t
furnish power direct to electri
light companies or private in
dividuals. The estimated cos
of developing this project
$50, 900 and it is expected tha
the power will be sufficient t
supply all of the points name
and have 500 horse power left

THERE have been several in
teresting conferences at Lincoln
this week between the demo-
cratic leaders of the capital city.
In the first place w. J. Bryan
entertained at luncheon Edgar
Howaid, editor of the Columbus
Telegram, spokesman for Mr..
Bryan, but also very friendly to
Governor Shallenberger, and
Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, a
candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination against Snallen-
berger, representing the radical
liberal element in the democratic
ranks. 1t has been limited upon
several occasions, but seemingly
without definite authority that
Mr.. Bryan is ready to endorse
county option, and the confer
ence with the arch-liberalist from
Douglas county makes people
prick up their ears. Then came,
yesterday, conference between
Governor Shallenberger and w.
J. Bryan, with, again, no an
nouncement of the details. The
next candidacy on the demo
cratic side of the United States
senatorship, the candidacy for
the governorship and the text oi
the platform, with special refer
ence to the prohibition question
are all supposed to have beer
discussed but "mum's" the word
Mr.. Bryan naively informs the
inquisitive press inquirer that ht
has a paper of his own, tha'
when he gets ready to make any
pronouncement it will NOR,
likely be through those columns
and that the present is the psy
Geological time to send in ;
subscription with the necessar,
enclosure. All of which doesn'
relieve us any. The ventur,
may still be regarded as a saf
one, however, that democrac,
will not endorse county option

In n letter addressed to Secretary
Nagel Of the department of
and labor, President Taft gave notice
that any man employed in taking the
thirteenth census, who engages in
