Benefit BY . Public Service
Club Organization.

Up at Mitchell, Neo., 0co''e
Bluff county, located in the heart
of the North Platte Valley there
exists a Community Club, an
organization which is composed
of farmers and business men
generally. This club was organic
ed for the purpose of putting the
farmers living in that territory
and the business man of the town
in close touch with each other on
all matters pertaining to the gen.
eral welfare of the community.
We have great country here and
the Grit.Advocate advances the
suggestion that an organization
composed of our Farmers and the
Business men be launched here
in the near future, and the organ
ization be made a permanent fac
tor in dealing with the different
matters of importance which will
arise relative to bettering condi-
tions and aiding materially in the
general development of our coun-
try.
You, Mr.. Farmer and Business
Man, are vitality interested in see-
ing better conditions exist in 3
business way in this, your country,
where you have cast your lot, and
no doubt will be interested in aid
ing any movement which will be
beneficial to you, as welt to ell
Others. You have no doubt given
the matter Of country develop
ment considerable thought. 1t
means increased land values and
general prosperity. There are
many opportunities to come before
Us in the future. There have
been opportunities placed before
US which were let slip by OH ac-
count of lack of cooperation.
You, as an individual were power
less to act, but should we have an
organization composed of a solid
representation of our farmers and
business men, closely allied toget-
her, ready at any time to deal
with matters of public welfare as
they should be, we will be in the
position fo get just what we want
and preserve our ;ust rigf is. We
have too much at stake to simply
sav, "Well, it can't be DONE for
if we have permanent organiza-
ton it will be done.
Meetings should be held at least
twice each month and attended
by all members of the Club. AT
these meetings all matters pertain
ing to the public improvement
and general welfare of the COM
munity at large, can be thorough
ly discussed and given proper at
tention in a business like manner.
It can be made general get-to'
gether meeting whereby the farm
er and the merchant can each ex-
press their views. Added enthus-
ias,n can be instilled into these
meetings by having a social fea-
ture, consisting Of banquets and
luncheons occasionally.
Mr.. Farmer and Merchant, do
YOU realize that we have great op-
portunities before us and it is up
to US to take advantage of them
We are located in very fertile
country where the soil is right,
the climate is right and sunshine

IS HE PACKING HIS eRlP7

The following comment from the
Galveston News on a letter written
by German Consul Rob at New Or
leans. no doubt reflects the sentiment,
not only OF Americans but OF all loyal
German. Americans in this country:
1T appears that II was not former
German consul at New Orleans, Baron
Ernest Won Meyesenburg. but the pres.
ent one, DIR. Paul Rob. Who in an
epistle to Captain Won Papen. ex'
pressed the hope that Germany would
before many years find the iron de
Termination necessary to bring the
United States to a reckoning. For
more than two months the baron has
rested under the stigma OF uttering
these maledictions on the United
States. Now. urged by considerations
we are left to guess at. DIR. Rob ac-
knowledges authorship OF this piquant
epistle found among the possessions
of Captain Won Papen. To be sure,
he says that the embarrassing pass
age does not read just like the trans
lation given to US from London. but
even the sentiment expressed in his
explanation is not one TO be tolerated
in the representative of the German
government resident among us. II is
to be assumed that DR.. Rob Is already
preparing to take leave of us. II he is
not. the state department ought to
take measures to spur him into that
manifest proprety."
