Stander, who i3 a hustler when it conies to getting a lot of work done in a short space of time, has been kept at his work more hours than the sun shines each day, but was relieved when the rain came and he was able to get a rest from his task of hulling clover. He states that on all the jobs he has handled this fall, the average yield of seed is bet ter than a bushel per acre. On one job cf 35 acres, the yield was 62 bushels and 20 pounds. This is an excellent showing and well above the average, in fact very near a record. The large yield is, however, having a bearish effect upon the market price of the seed, which is, of course, governed largely by the law cf sup ply and demand. ATTENDS CONFERENCE From Saturday's Daily Miss Violet Dodge, of Omaha, a member of Fontenelle chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion, motored down from Omaha this morning in company with her father, George Dodge. Miss Dodge attended the D. A. R. conference at the Pres byterian church while Mr. Dodge visited with the many old time friends over the city. Warming Up? :v t-":;witii '.-5 i i ysSf n -a r I District Meet of the D. A. R. is Held Here District B Sessions Held at Presby terian Church Dr. Luther M. Kzhns, Omaha, Speaker. From Saturday's Daily Fontenelle chapter of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution was hostess today to the annual confer erence of District B of the Nebraska society, which embraces the chapters at West Point, Fremont, the three chapters of Omaha and the local chap ter. The members of the Glenwood (Iowa) chapter were also invited to attend the meetings. The meetings were held at the First rresbyterian church and were presided over by Mrs. Frank V. Baker, of Omaha, vice-regent, in the absence of Mrs. Horace J. Davis, of' Kearney, who was engaged in pre siding over district A meeting. The work for the coming season was outlined and discussed by Mrs. Baker at the morning session of the society, the membership joining in the plans that have been projected for the advancement of the work throughout the state. During the morning session there was also a genealogical round table participated in by the members and in which was discussed this feature of the work of the society. At the noon hour the ladies were entertained by the Fontenelle chap ter at luncheon which was served in the Fellowship room of the church, the ladies of the church preparing and serving the delicious repast. The afternoon session was devoted to the program marking Constitution week and had as the speaker of the occasion Dr. Luther M. Kuhns, wide ly known Omaha divine, who spoke on "The Constitution. Its Seed Time and Harvest." a very able address and one that the ladies appreciated to the fullest extent. On the afternoon program Miss Jean Hayes was heard in two lovely vocal numbers, the accompaniment being by Mrs. L. S. Devoe, while Miss Vestetta Robertson, one of the tal ented musicians of the city was heard in two artistic piano selections. Among those attending from Om aha were Mesdames James Sexton Ainscow, J. C. Suttle, Walter O. Johnson, Donald Allan, R. C. Hen necke, V. W. Eoyles. John R. Golden, J. F. Harmon, W. E. Maxfield, H. E. Pinnell, R. E. Miller, C. H. Mullin, R. C. Hoyt, W. B. Aten, J. W. Rob erts, Fred Mapes, Fred Petersen, Sherman Brown, S. K. Sanford and J. C. Lawrence, and the Misses Mar thena Hanford, Elizabeth Long, Pearl Freeman, Abigail Manning and Mary Ellen Wallace. From Xikumi chapter in Blair, Mrs. W. W. Wilkinson and Mrs. E. C. Pierce were delegates. Lewis-Clark chapter at Fremont was represented by Mrs. Henry Gunderson, Mrs. Frank Johnson and Mrs. Ross Ham mond. Mrs. II. F. Sass and Mrs. A. F. Wall represented Elkhorn Valley chapter. West Point. The address of Dr. Kuhns was as follows: Madam toastmistress: president, officers and members of the D. A. R. ; Chairlady and members of local com mittee and guests: With genuine thanks, I acknowl edge the distinguished honor you have paid an old bachelor. The invi tation to address this convention dur ing Constitution Week is a very greatly appreciated honor. Truly, than those in whose veins course the blood of the founders of this repub lic, none can more highly esteem this occasion and value its meaning. Here with one accord we raise our voices to Thee, "Our Fathers' GoC! from whose hand The centuries fall like grains of sand, Wre meet today, united, free, And loyal to our land and Thee, To thank Thee for the era , done, And trust Thee for the open ing one." Daughters of the American Revolu tion, permit me, a son of the Amer ican Revolution; one of the organiz ers and a past president of the Ne braska Society, S. A. R., to pay trib ute to woman's devoted partnership in wresting the iron grasp cf English tyranny from our Colonial forebears, and in the mighty deed of kindling cn the broad expanse of our shores, mountains, and plains the 'beacon fires of eternal olve of justice and freedom. You have ever taught your husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons. You made them indeed, adapting Elizabeth Barrett Browning's phras ing: Speak plain the word country. You taught them, no doubt, That a country's a thing men die for at need. You prated of liberty, rights, about the tyrant cast out. And when their eyes flashed ... You exulted; nay, let them go forth at the wheels Of the guns, and denied not. But then the surprise When one sits quite alone Then one weeps, then one kneels! God, how the house feels! For eight long agonizing years the wives, mothers, sisters, and daugh ters of the Revolution, that we might have a country from sea-board to mountain peaks, from mountains peak to rolling prairie, disfranchized despair; and standing desolate with "no last word" have been patriots. "Through that love and sorrow which reconciled so The Above and Below." Ladies of the Nebraska D. A. R., it is hard for me as a preacher to cpeak without a text. In discussing my subject: "The Constitution Its Seed time and Its Harvest," I propose, as a sentiment apropos of these times and our conditions, the challenging words of Mordecai to Esther, in one of the most dangerous emergencies in the history of the Jews: "Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" In the awful crisis confronting her people, Esther had little hope of serving her country's cause. Only a false security protected the beauteous queen. A deep faith brought the con viction that God would interpose for the deliverance of His people. A duty clearly devolved upon Esther in this crucial hour, since there was every reason to believe there was a wise Providence in her eleation from ob- security to the dignity of queen to the imperial monarcli, Ahasuerus. In a threatening period to our national life, Washington with reverent con viction spoke these words, "I trust in that Providence which has saved us in six troubles, yea, in seven, to res cue us again." And again, Daugh ters of the American Revolution, in these days of serious problems of the back-wash of the World's War, the organization of thorough patriotic American women may materially help to meet and to answer in our day Mordecai's sentinal summons to Es ther, "Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" If so, I am morally certain that the example of the royal deed of the patriotic queen will, in the 20th century, fine hundreds, aye thousands of women worthy to share her fame and achievement the sal vation of her nation, and the piaci of her people in history. Today. Americans all. we are cele brating Constitution Day, and this is Constitution Week, the nativity of our government. To me the most ideal and the greatest government earth has ever known was that of the Hebrew Theocracy God govern ing the nation, and the people ruling themselves. Next to this divine in stitution of government I would un equivocally rank that of the United States our own dear native land, in whose development and progress everywhere we see the footsteps of Providential intelligence from gen eration to generation, like the plant ing of our corn fields and the ripen ing of the maize ready for the har vest. " 'i ' At the close of the French war. when England decided to enforce the Navigation Act, in February, 1761, before the superior court, James Otis of Massachusetts, a brilliant young lawyer and a pioneer American Revo lutionary patriot, representing the Boston merchants, in the case of "the Writs of Assistance" under the re pugnant Navigation Act declared: "Such power, the exercise of which cost one king of England his head and another his throne was a gross infringement of the imnvemoral rights of English men and would be treated as null. An Act of Parliament against the Constitution Is void." This was a bold and daring speech. Fourteen years after the plea or Otis, came Lexington, with its sur prising defense, Concord, Bunker Hill, the Declaration of Independence, the timely victories of Trenton and Princeton, the terrible but heroic suf fering at Valley Forge, and other momentous occurrences until on Oct ober 19th, 1781 Cornwallis surrend ered at Yorktown; and, on both sides of the Atlantic, everybody knew that this master-stroke had ended the war, and that America had won. Ex actly eight years after Lexington, in April, 1783, Washington proclaim ed the war at an end, discharged the army; and on June 2nd the soldiers went quietly home, their accounts unsettled. Suddenly and imperceptibly a rad ical change in attitude everywhere came over the people in their inter est toward the proposed Constitution al Convention, pursuant to the Anna polis invitation and the recommenda tion of the seventh congerss. A re markable group of fifty-one men, an "ideally perfect assembly of law makers," with nothing left to be de sired, convened in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, May 14, 1787, to frame a Constitution; and, wisely behind closed doors, that the discordant pas sions in untrammeled and acrimon ious debates, might not go out to the public until the collective and unanimous voice of the convention hould be given in its completed form to the world. Washington presided. The first regular session of the con vention was held on May 25, 1878. For four months, from May 25th to September 17th. through the tor rid summer heat of Philadelphia, the framers of the Constitution sat with out complaint but persistent to the end knowing as Randolph put IX that, "The government to be estab lished must have a republican basis;" and so well did they do their work, that Thomas Jefferson asserted, "A more capable assembly never sat In America." James Madison is called the "Father of the Constitution," but as Bancroft declares we also know, "The material for building the Con stitution were the gifts of the ages." The Federal Constitution: the fun damental or organic law of the Unit ed States framed by the Constitution al Convention which met In Phila delphia May 25th, 1787, adjourned September 17th, 1787, went into ef fect March 4th, 1789, ratified by 11 of the 13 states; North Carolina (Continued on Page 5) A Patch of Rye Urged for Stock Farms Excellent for Spring Pasture Never Bothered by Chinch Bugs Planting Time Here. Advocating a patch" of rye on every livestock farm. Prof. H. J. Gramlich of the college of agricul ture says there is seldom a year in which a shortage of pasture does not occur cn most farms. Fall planted rye at this time or a little later will make a good growth before winter and will provide an abundance of early spring pasture, the animal husbandry head explains. Rye is an early spring grczing plant for most parts of Nebraska. Tests at the Nebraska college of agriculture show that it is available approxi mately thirty days before other crops. It grows luxuriantly and produces a very large amount of feed during the relatively cool, early spring season. "Rye is a safe crop from the stand point of 'freedom from poison," says Gramlich. "It fits into the rotation nicely on stock farms where sweet clover constitutes one of the pasture crops." Planting of some rye this fall is to prevent a shortage of pasture next year, farmers are reminded by the animal husbandry department head. Chinch bugs do not ordinarily bother rye, as it comes ahead of them. Sudan grass following rye is in good shape at the college of agricul ture, and this is a practice followed by many farmers. Chinch bugs, how ever, have bothered the sudan con siderably this year. In localities where chinch bugs are bad, it is pos sible that the live-stock farmer will depend rather more upon sweet clo ver for pasture during the next few years and less upon the rye-sudan grass combination, he says. LEGION AUXILIARY MEETS The American Legion Auxiliary held their regular meeting on Friday afternoon at the Legion, building with Mrs. Fred Herbster, Mrs. E. C. Ripple, Mrs. Carl Kopischka, Mrs. L. S.
