The judge fined the defendant $60 and costs amounting to $18.15, which were promptly paid.

HARTINGTON - Due principally to the increase in value of agricultural products in which the European war was a factor, the grand assessment roll of the state of Nebraska for 1915 will show a larger gain than at any other time in the last seven or eight years.
Figuring on a basis of the 37 counties that have so far reported the approximate total increase over last year will be $7 million assessed value or $35 million actual value.

HARTINGTON - What is the attitude of Cedar County women to the vote, which will undoubtedly be extended to them if one more state ratifies the suffrage amendment?
Mrs. L.A. Miller, President of the Hartington Tuesday Club, one of the most progressive clubs in this city, believes that women will probably meet the new expectations which the amendment will demand of them. “I am enthusiastic in my attitude for women’s suffrage,” said Mrs. Miller, who is as ardent of a homemaker as a club woman. “Women can do much toward making the cities and towns where they live better places for boys and girls. It is in matters concerning children, to matters pertaining to boys and girls that women can contribute a great deal, I believe.”
