The man who thinks or says that
he has done his best in the way of
ability will never get an Inch farther
in the Way of accomplishment. It Is
the man who has a consciousness
that he can do better aud who la
rightly dissatisfied with what he has
already done that stands to win.
Many years ago an amnassador
was denned as a man "sent abroad
to lie for the benefit of his country."
That may still be a part of his dut
ies, but his principal function seems
to be to attend social and other gath
erings and be able to say something
nice without overdoing it. Still,
there may be a good deal of wise and
ahrewd diplomacy In all that.

The Alliance High school was Very
fortunate In being designated one of
the few agricultural high schools of
Nebraska to receive state aid provid
ed In the act passed by the last leg
islature.
In order to receive the appropria
tion a school must have thorough
courses In domestic science, manual
training, end agriculture. The do
mestic science and manual training
departments of the local High school
rank among the very best In Nebras
ka. Two courses in agriculture are
being given this semester. A class
of twenty-three boys are studying
Held crops and thirty-two boys and
girls are taking the animal husban
dry course. Next year there will be
courses In soils, farm management,
and horticulture in addition to the
work now offered.
Prof. S. L". Clements has charge of
the agricultural department of the
Alliance High school, and The Her
aid ventures to predict that as sup
erintendent of this work, with the
hearty co-operation of other teach
ers and students, he will make sue
cess of it.
It is the desire of those in charge
to make this new course of as much
practical value us possible to the
chants in small country towns and farmers of surrounding ' territory
people generally who believe in the
prosperity of such towns will not be
likely to sympathize with the indict
ed even though they wish them - no
barm. The way retail merchants
are injured and the best interests of
country towns damaged by the cat
alogue houses is enough to make
them want such houses indicted on
several charges.
AN IXPOHTAXT STATU OFFICE
Too often the importance of a pub
lic oftlce la measured by the amount
of patronage it haa tb dispense. Much
is oeing said now regarding pros
pective gubernatorial candidates In
Nebraska, but there is not much talk
about candidates .for other state of
fices.
In the opinion of The Herald there
is not a more important state office
to be filled by the' next election than
that of state superintendent of pub
lic Instruction, considered in relation
to the welfare of the rising genera
tion. , The writer of this was for
many years engaged in public school
work, and as an editor watches with
great interest the progress of the
ctuse of education In Nebraska.
v , If capable men are nominated by
all of the political parties, there can
be no doubt of the election of a man
who will fill the office efficiently. For
the democratic nomination for state
superintendent of public instruction
The Herald begs to submit the name
of a virile schoolman who has al
ready made his Impress upon the ed
ueational system of Nebraska, but
who is young enough to have yet
many years of usefulness before him
, . Superintendent Earl M. Cllne of
the Geneva city schools possesses
qualifications that particularly fit
him for th office of state superin
tendent. AH ho an eastern Nebraska
man, h has a warm place in the
hearts of the people in the western
part of l ho state, on account of hav
ing been principal of the Sidney High
school and the Alliance Mate Junior
Normal. It is not possible to enum
erate all of Mr. Cllne's qualifications
In one short editorial. He Is a Ne
braska product and a man of liberal
education. He was educated in the
public schools of Falls City, (he Peru
State Normal school, and the Uni
versity of Nebraska. At the Univer
sity he spent two years in the stud)
of luw. which eminently qualified
hiai for his appointment, made by
Governor Morehead, to a place- on
the commission to recommend a re
. vision of the school laws of Nebras
ka. This commission was provided
for by resolution of the legislature
At its laat session. It is generally
expected that al the next session im
portant . legislation affecting the.
schools of the state will be proposed.
In that event the state superintend
ent will be consulted aud his advice
will have much weight in framing
new school laws and amending exist
' lag statutes. We do not know of
another man, available for the demo
cratic nomination, who combines to
so great a degree the qualifications

This can be done only by coopera
Ion between those interested In
farming and the High school. It is
regretted that the Instructor in agrl
culture cannot visit all farms and
learn of local conditions.
Have you visited our High school?
If not, you have no idea of the good
things that it holds in store for your
hlldren.
Five acres of land has been se
cured from Mr. Mollring for expert
mental purposes. As part of his
laboratory work each boy in the
fields crops class plants and cares for
a small part of this. To a certain
extent he is permitted to plant the
crop he desires, and choose his ow
methods of cultivation, kind of fer
tllizer, etc. He Is doing somethln
that will mean some spending money
for Mm if be is successful.
Some things w ill be worked out by
the whole class; for instance, plans
are now being made with the Un
versity experiment station, to test i
the relative value of barnyard man
ure with various kinds of commer
cial fertilizers for potatoes and corn.
Attempts will be made to discover
the most protttable variety to grow,
the best methods of cultivation, etc.
An instructor will be in charge all
year. Any boy that means business
may earn some High school credits
as well as earn some money by work
ing with the Instructor during the
summer.
This week as laboratory week the
boys have been testing seed corn by
the individual ear test method for an
Alliance business man who expects
to plant some corn. The class will
gladly test any seed for any one that
cares to know what per cent will
germinate.
Small plots of different varieties
of potatoes, grasses, corn, alfalfa.
wheat, oats, barley, rye. millet, sor
ghums, beans, peas, garden truck,
etc., will be planted. Irrigation will
not be used. If possible the school
wants to get some good local grown
seed. If there is any crop that has
not be?n grown successfully here,
that you believe can oe made profit
able, give the instructor your plan
aud if possible It will be worked out.
Any suggestions that you may offer
will be appreciated
Remember that the school needs
and asks your cooperation in the ag
rlculture work.

City Attorney Joe L. Westover ad
mits to his friends that for once he
was taken by an Irishman for an
Irishman. Joe was in Denver last
Tuesday (which was St. Patrick's
day) and when a long line of the
sons of the ould sod passed him on
their way to the cathedral to be In
itiated into the mysteries of the An
cient Order of Hlbernoans, he fallow
ed a short distance until the stop
ped. An old Irishman who was In
line noticed Joe and asked if he was
from Ireland. "YeB," said Joe. "I
was born within three miles of
Cork." "Here, Pat," said the Irish
man to another, "bring one of those
badges.". Joe was duly decorated
with the Hibernian badge and com
pelled to Join the procession on their
way to the cathedral. On arriving
at the cathedral the procession was
stopped and several newspaper pho
tographers stepped forward and took
pictures. Joe happened to be lu the
front of one of the pictures which
were printed that afternoon in the
Denver daily papers. This was what
gave him away. We are of the opin
Ion that he escaped before being in
itiated, however.

If a man enjoys his dally vittles,
he is a happy nibs; be need not care
if Fortune whittles a stick to prod
his ribs, in times of stress and grim
disaster, if appetites survive, then
men Just throw in steaks the faster
and plea in blocks of five. No woes
or troubles can kernummix the men
who like to eat. who are equipped
with modern stomachs that simply
can't be beat. Should Fate, that
glim and grisly spinner of grief,
ramp on my trail, if I can have a
good square dinner, her buffets wont
avail. The men who bow before dis
aster, who tremble and repeat, to
whom woe sticketh like a plaster, are
those who do not eat. Napoleon, to
good fighters partial, once combed
his scanty wool, and said, "Men can't
be brave and martial unless their
tanks are full." Let me but eat a
roasted turkey, well stuffed, in farm
house style, and. though the out
look's dark and murky, I still shall
sing and smile. I may b victim of
abuses, and woes may come in
troops, but let me eat a pair of
jtoosee. and I don't care three
whoops.
