LET US HAVE BASE BALL,
Directors of The Mink League Will
Meet in Nebraska City, Dec. 9.

The annual meeting of the diree-
tors of the Mink League will be held
in Nebraska City, December 0, and
will be in every sense a very inn
portant meeting as it will in meas
ure, be the making up of the Mink
league for next season. Already two
new towns have raised their money
and are applying for admission. Falls
City must be in the game. We have
enjoyed one season of organized
base ball and though we fell short
from financial stand point there
are many other ways to look at the
question. Falls City came out at the
top of the list. Good for Falls City.
We had full season of good, whole
some sport, where ladies and child
rem could go in as perfect security
as men 1t brought patrons to our
city from surrounding towns and
country-even though they were
little hard on Falls City Our ball
team helped to advertise Falls City
and there is no question about it. We
can't afford to be cutters. The pre-
liminary expense of organizing will
be eliminated next year.
The heavy expense of this year
will balance the shortage so that if
equal financial support is given the
local committee a sufficient sum can
be raised There are many who did
not contribute last year. They were
in doubt But they have seen that
the ball park is kept in a decent, or
derly condition, fit place for all
classes and gave a whole summer of
amusement right here at home. We
believe these and many others will
come to the front and back up this
enterprise. The heft of the burden
was carried last year SO stay by the
game, give your support to a home
organization, help keep up the team.
After one season of organized base
ball and all the pleasures it brought
you will be mighty lonesome next
year without it.

Watch For It,,

The people have grown to look
upon the Christmas edition of the
newspapers as a shopping guide. Tho
ads of the home merchants tell
them facts. The goods are here to
be shown and qualities compared.
Your merchant is here to stand
back of his word No mail order
houses ever organized can compare
with the home merchants prices
If you consider quality. When your
merchant sells you cheap article he
tells you the quality, he does not
tell you you are getting q superier
article for nothing. Have you ask
ed your dealer to figure on the bill
of goods you are about to order
from out of town? Try him he will
give you BETTER goods for LESS
money. tsea
My friend, every live, up-to-dats
merchant in Falls City will offer you
the best goods for the least money
in the Christmas number of The
Il ;bune They have bargains for
YOU. 1t will pay you to hold UP
that out-of-town order till after Dec
ember 16 when our Christmas edi-
lion will guide you to the store
where you will find the very best.
Watch for it ard patronize the home
merchants. They will make good
their word at all times. Their names
will all be in The Tribune.

Making a Record.

John Bruhn shucked 122 bushels of
corn last Friday on his fathers farm
about six miles south and west of
Salem. To prove that this was
not so exceptional as it might seem.
he did 100 bushels for his Saturday
chore This is almost establishing a
record for this section, especially
this year, as corn shucking has not
been so flush as some years. John
is one of South Nemaha's husky
young men who is not afraid to
buckle down to hard work. AS Il
result he has developed more than or
binary ability at even so common
place a work as shueking corn It
is worth while being the quickest
corn shucker in any community.

A BUILDING CORPORATION
THE CHIEF OBJECT TO BUILD
HOUSES NEEDED NOW
This Organization VIII Work
Along Other Lines
Later On

More than half n hundred repre-
sentative business men OF Falls City
met in the office of John w. Powell
last Friday afternoon, the chief OBJ
| ject of the meeting being to get at a
| plan by which the building of houses
| In our city could be pushed. John
| w. Towle of Omaha, who has more
than a mercenary interest In Falls
City, was chairman, and in stating
the object of the meeting seemed to
| inject a great deal of enthusiasm in
to the gentlemen present. He said
| the main object of the meeting was
| to form a corporation, the first object
of which should be to build suitable
tenant houses for workmen brought
here by the Missorri Pacafic divis-
! ion. It was the desire to organize
with paid up capital of $50,0 ,000 and
an authorized capital of 100000. And
, house building alone was not to be
| the only object of the corporation;
they were to branch our into other
lines of development
The plan as he gave it, seemed to
appeal to many present and several
enthusiastic speeches were made
and many backed up their enthusiasm
with the cash II was explained that
the stock must be sold and any
ent were asked to subscribe for
stock and e. S. Towe headed the
list with $4,000 Another $4,000 was
taken by gentlemen present. Some
of those present said they had al
ready promised to build on another
| proposition. Others were planning to
| build different kinds of buildings and
though all present did not go into
the corporation it was clearly demon
strated that the fever for further im
| proyements and development was in
| the air. There was little of the wild
or exaggerated enthusiasm which
| 81 Hnr otn
| These gentlemen wanted to get
| down to facts and get a solid basis
| to build upon. A committee was ap-
pointed to solicit subscription for
stock and will report at meeting
| that will be called at an early date.
| Many have signfied Willingness to
| take stock in small quantities from
| $3.50 on up to $500
This movement is by no means a
| graft it is purely town development
on business principal. If a few
individuals cannot see their way
clear to do all building necessary, a
corporation financed by many, and
among them those of small capital
who cannot afford to build extensive
/ ly, can accomplish much and prove a
| good business Investment
Now let harmony prevail and the
business men in all branches of trade
work together. Let's see old griev
ances and selfish motives and per
sonal gain put aside. What is good
for your town must necessarily be
good for you. We cannot go on in
a self-satisfied state much longer. we
must either get in the race and stay
by the game, follow progressive
methods, develop new enterprises or
be crowded out entirely by the new
blood, the young and progressive
who will surely make themselves felt.
Just work for harmony in the bust
ness life of our city

Going Ahead.

The introduction of electric power by
the Consolidation Coal Company and
other mining operators in the hauling
and handling Of coal in and out of mines
is tremendous stride in the direction of
speed and economy of both money and

In hardly any other line of industry is
more progress shown than in these cleo
trio and endless-rope cOntrivances.

can see it better than the younger, and
