WHAT !S GREAT
LY NEEDED IN
THE CORN BELT
farnu-rs Who Own I'arms Should Not
lit- Carrit'd Away to Worse Coun
tries by Lurinp Land Agents.
If 1 ho farmers of the corn belt
L;itf. after paying off their imlebt
tiiness fo the tastern states, had in
esfol their profits at home, that is.
in the earn belt, it would by this time
be he garden of the Lord, "like the
'and of Eril as thou jroest unto
Zoar." Instead of this, the corn belt
farmers have made their investment
t a very jrreat extent abroad, and
mainly to the north, south and west,
under the siranire delusion that there
somewhere else a new corn belt
waiting to be developed. JIany farm
ers have inve-ted their savings in
-IimaH. imaginir that they were
fjtittlncr thorn into orange groves,
where they eoulc! do a kind of gentle-man-farminsr,
in which th:-re was lit
tle toil and no rare, nothlrg to do but
pocket the profits. It is said that
forty thousand Iowa peorle attended
the annual Iowa picnic in Los
Angeles.
Others have invested their profit."
in oil wells, which yield rn profit, in
gold and silver mines, which exit
only in the imaginaiion and in the
literature of the promoters. Others
have put them into desert lands, un
! ;- the strantre and apparently last
ing delusion that, "rainfall follows the
plow. Others have put them in ap
ple orchards that grow god-looking
appb-s. splendid lookers, i i fact, but
furnish no profit after the cost of la
bor, transportation and commissions
is paid.
This is human nature. We all like
to get i ich, ami many of us think
there is a short cut to wealth, that
we can do a- those '"who toil not,
neither do they spin," and yet are ar
raed in glory creator than that of
Solomon, or even the lilies of the
field. Experience has taught us much.
Had corn belt, farmers fnvested at
home, their farms would al be fenced,
outside ami cross fences "hat would
bo lasting, and hold anything that
v. a put inside thrm. Instead of sell
:ng corn to the world, they would be
feeding i: at home to well-bred cat
tle, properly housed and cared for.
They would have absorbed all the
bank stock except in a few of the
Iarj."V cities. They would have been
able to finance any persons who need
ed and deserved hnancinc, and would
have been aide to absorb 1he obliga
tions of ail the smaller cries of the
corn belt.
Strange as it may seem, one of the
greatest needs of the corn belt is
tvpit-.tl. A still greater need is that
nii-n learn how to handle capital
wiv.-h-. There are a g-eat many
farms in the corn belt that need
i'rainaire. There are a g--eat many
loafing acres. There are a great
many farms that lack suitable houses
and hums. There is need of large
expenditure in good roads. We don't
mean brick or macadam roads all
over the country, but loads over
which the fa: me- and Lis family can
go to town and thuroh in comfort, as
we'l as haul his crops. Had we kept
our savings at home, we might bj
this time have had a rural hisrh
j-choo! for our children tnat would
give them the education, or at least
the opportunity to get the education
whi'-h every normal man desires for
hi.'- child'en.
It is time the corn belt should be
gin to third: about financing itself in
te;id of fnanring the semi-arid f-oc-lion;',
or the mountain sta'es, or the
I'ac ?'. eon-t. or sections of the south,
where for good reasons they don't care
ebhc to make their home or to have
th ir children to make their home. Dy
this time, any man who wishes to
know the resources of any section in
1he I'ri'ed States, or ny foreign
country, can secjre definite informa
tion. The corn belt is the most
favorable -'! ion of the United
States; has the richest sil, has a
good climate, although we may not
enjoy the extreme cold in winter, nor
the extreme heat in summer. It
supplies all the conditions for de
veloping the higher t type of civiliza
tion. It needs capital, and hence the
folly of making ojr investments in
new and strange settlors, or in
.ti ang lines of business.
It i- time to quit thinking about
peeulative. values and turn our at
tention to two point"--; the increase of
ihe productive value, witrout which
the present prices cannot be main
tained, to .-ny nothing of increasing
then'; and the increase of their social
value, that is, making each township
and each school district z place in
which the maximum of ccrr.fort and
the hijrhet development of character
can be secured.

DAN CUPID SHIES IN
TO THE MATRIMONI
AL RING ONCE MORE
Miss Katie Hcnrich and Mr. Karl W
Zavgren United in the Holy
lkmds of Matrimony.
From Wednosila v's Iailv.
A very pretty home wedding occur
red yesterday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Mary Ilenrich on lower Main
street, when her eldest daughter, Miss
Katie, was united in marriage to Mr.
Karl W. Zavgren. The wedding was
a very quiet one, as only the im
mediate members of the family were
present to witness the ceremony,
which was beautiful, as well as im
pressive, the marriage lines being
i cad by the Rev. J. II. Steger, pastor
of St. Paul's Evangelical church, and
the words of the minister carried
with them the spirit of reverence be
fitting the beautiful ceremony that
was uniting these young people for ail
time.
The bride and groom were unat
tended and the bride's costume was
a very handsome one of ivory white
voile and shadow lace, which was
most charming. She carried a large
bouquet of red and white roses. The
groom was attired in the conventional
black. After the ceremony a very
dainty and much enjoyed wedding
luncheon was served to the bridal
party and members of the family and
the table arranged in a very pleasing
marnier with floral decorations of red
and white roses, and in the center the
large handsome bridal cake.
The bride is one of Tlattsmouth's
most charming daughters and a young
lady that has won a large circle of
friends during her lifetime in this city
by her lovable character and charm of
manner toward all with whom she has
come in contact, and it is with great
regret that the friends here will part
with her, trusting that the years to
come may bring to her only the
greatest of happiness.
Mr. Zavgren is one of the trusted
employes of the Burlington in their
bridge construction work and is a
splendid gentleman in every sense of
the term and one whom to know is to
esteem and respect in every way pos
sible. The newly weds departed last even
in p: on a trip to the Pacific coast,
where the yexpect to spend some time
taking in the Panama-Pacific exposi
tion at San Francisco, and on their
return will be at home in Omaha af
ter about October 1st, where the
groom is having a beautiful home
erected and where they expect to re- j
side in the future. The Journal joins
with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Zavgren in wishing them a long and
happy married life.

have many times called the attention
of our readers to the necessity of
cleaning out the intestines in the ma
jority of diseases, and at the same
time to the fact that Triner's Ameri
can Elixir of Bitter Wine is, in this
respect, a very useful preparation. It
should be used, especially in diseases
of the alimentary tract. In cases of
slow, insufficient or difficult digestion,
by which the nutrition suffers, it is
very valuable, because it strengthens
the organs, relieves constipation and
improves the appetite. Price $1.00.
