The need of the day the speaker stated was for the re building of the walls of the American home a3 home now was chiefly a place where the family gathered to srumble while the car was being fixed.

In his closing remarks the speak er gave a very glowing account of the great state of Nebraska and its products and in which he shovel that poultry, butter and egg crop of Nebraska was $15,000,000 greater than the fruit crop of California.
