where the whole automobile situation

were the guests of the Maxwell people.
In the evening Mr.. Newly went 20 Kan
sas City. where he will be present at n
similar meeting TO be held there.
The topic discussed at the Omaha meet
ing that proved of the greatest interest
to the Maxwell dealers of the state was
the plan proposed by the Maxwell Sales
corporation regarding the pushing OF
sales in this. the district known as
thirty-four. and which has its headquar-
ters in Omaha.
ON Payment Plan.
Manager Brokaw and the other Max
well Representatives went over with the
dealers and their bankers all the details
OF the partial payment plan. which It is
believed Is going to materially increase
the sales during the 1916 season. This
plan Is new to the dealers and struck
them decidedly favorable.
The Maxwell people from the Detroit
house are looking for great things from
the Omaha territory next year and at the
meeting asserted that this is looked upon
as the prize district
During the meeting valuable pointers
were civ the dealers and they were
given practical lessons relative to selling
plans Mr.. Brokaw was highly compli-
mented upon his successful handling OF
the business from the Omaha headquar-
ters and during the interim in the dis
cussion of shop topics expressed himself
as being highly elated over the prospects
for business in his district.
The plans suggested by the Maxwell
for increasing sales met with the hearty
approval OF the bankers present and
when they returned to their homes, with
one accord they were all boosters for the
Maxwell car and its methods of dealing
with buyers Of machines. The financia
plan proposed they asserted was SOUND
without being Objectionable in any par
ticuler.
With the new financial plan in opera
ton a number of dealers present as
serted that within the next twelve month";
they would more than double the sale
OF last year.
After complimsnting Manager Brokav
Mr.. Newly took the people at the meet
ing into his confidence and told then
that at this time the Maxwell compan,
u turning out Tb finished cars per da,
and that with the new sales and finan
cial plan in operation the output will b.
quickly increased to 800 and perhap
more.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL MN

The chances of the Central High school
foot ball team winning from North Platte
next Friday are much brighter following

Moresrty was announced 1t was found
that Werlich, the only regular backfield
man who escaped from the Lincoln game
without serious injuries, was declared in
eligible on account of being down In his
studies.
The team worked out last night on tho
Creighton field and spent most Of the
time sliding in the mud. Nichols is being

Base ball can be saved only by sensi-

1T would be foolhardy for this conven-

set rs own figure 20 which all clubs
should adhere risidly."
Among other questions there were dis

$50 Per Day Now

Milk shipments from the town OF
Holly now means that the industry is
adding to the wealth of our section
at rate Of $50 per day, around forty
five cans Of milk leaving this town
each day for the condenBery.
This is indeed a splendid record for
a town, or country, that has been in
this business for only about one year,
and one Of which we may be proud.
1t means that we have a splendid class
Of farmers, men that look forward to
the future and men that recognize op-
portunity when she passes their way.
By this time next year the daily
average should be more than doubled,
many more practical dairy men having
their eyes on this section and In
tending to locate here. The A. v.
Land company is building several
more dairy barns for their tenants
and will continue assisting persons
who desire to enter this industry.
General Manager Latter of the
Helvetia company, writes to C. Stok-
err, field man for the company in this,
county, that ''The Holly section is GER
tainly doing well with their milk pro-
duction and that town appears en-
titled to the next factory that we
build While the building Of fac
tory here appears some way in the
future still the likelihood appears more
promising as one observes the num-

The April term Of the Prowers coun-
ty district court opened on Tuesday
of this week with Judge A. W. Nc
Hendrie presiding. District Attorney
J. J. Hendrick and Stenographer ].
Z. Rogers were also in attendance.
There was only short session on
Tuesday for the purpose Of hearing
motions and arranging the docket for
the term. There were quite a num-
Der of criminal cases on the docket
and they will probably be heard be-
fore the civil trials are begun. The
term here will probably last all next
week.

New Court Chambers

While Judges McHendrie and Hill
yer were both in Lamar last Satur-
day they selected the two southeast
rooms on the second floor of the
Markham block as their court cham
bers for the eastern part of the dis
trict. Heretofore with only one Judge
the chambers were located at Trinidad
only, and all motions or matters to be
argued between terms had to be tax
en- up there, which was a great in
convenience to this section.
Now all matters coming up in the
counties of Baca, Bent and Prowers
can be argued in chambers at Lamar.
AS soon as the big accumulation of
work at Trinidad is cleared up one or
the other of the judges will be in La
mar at all times except when one OF
the courts is in session in this part of
the district. This will be great con-
venience to the attorneys and a big
saving to litigants.
Several attorneys have already Sc
cured office rooms in the block and it
will likely be popular resort for the
legal fraternity. 1t will be quite a
boost for Lamar as each item Of this
kind helps make it the leading center
of attraction in the valley.

Mr.. d. b. Novels, one Of the lead
ing business men and land owners of
the Arkansas valley, made formal
announcement this week of his retire
ment from active business just as
soon as he can dispose of his large
land holdings. In this connection he
announces that he will at the close of
this year retire from the directorate
of the Fort Lyon Canal Co., a position
which he has held for a number of
years during most of which time he
has been president. Mr.. Novels will
dispose of his land holdings on very
easy terms, and anyone desiring a
fine farm would do well to commune
cate with him. He has been a con-
spicuous figure in the management of
the Fort Lyon and has hau a great
part in making it the greatest irriga-
tion system Of the state.

day intends to display two dozen
Fords in this window. They will be
placed on hat pine for swivels, so
they can be turned around constantly
and display all their good points. Al
though just why it should be neces-
sary to display them we don't know

and can sell them faster than he can

day from Denver after a strenuous
session of the legislature. For effec-

only other official reelected. The re-
firing officials have served the city
well for the past two years, devoting
great deal of time and work to the
city's affairs at practically no COM
pensation. They deserve the thanks
of all good citizens, but probably
won't get them. They have done more
than any previous administration to-
wards the great work of making our
new water system effective and have
started the final arrangements by
which tits hoped an adequate supply
for all purposes will be secured. They
have done much to allay the bitter
partisanship of the past and made it
possible for all to get together with
out scrap. Mayor Doughty, who
has been the head of the city govern
ment, retires very cheerfully from the
job which he took up with reluctance
in the first place.
