D. Carnlne brought three loads of grass cattle to the Omaha market from Angora. He said raising corn and fattening hogs were getting to be quite a sideline of the cattle raisers In his section. According to Mr. Carnlne the cost * of breeding and fattening hogs is low and prove to be good money makers. He said he had raised 200 head of hogs and fattened them by turning them into the cornfields. "Fall feed Is plentiful,” said Mr. Carnlne. “and the range grass is well cured with a big hay crop in sight. More than half of the cattle around Angora are shipped out. Most of the small raisers are cleaned up, more than half of their stock being dis posed of to larger ranches.” Couple Observes Golden Wedding at Osceola, Neb.

McCook Business Women Have Annual Banquet McCook, Neb., Sept. 25.—The an nual banquet of the Husiness Women's league at the Keystone hotel \^as attended by over 60 mem bers. After the banquet the members attended the reception to the teach ers of the McCook public schools staged by the Woman's club. This organization is one of the leading women’s clubs in Nebraska. Supt. Beveridge bays: "The teacher need not dresi extravagantly, but she ought to dress so attractively that her pupils will appreciate and emulate. “Variety is important. There’s always interest and inspiration in something new. People constantly associated together get tired of seeing each other in the same old outfit. "It’s often a good plan to hang tha things one has been wearing away for a while and wait until they become new again.” The above is not only good advice for teachers, but should be followed by everyone—but before hanging garments away they should first be dry cleaned and pressed, then when you wish to wear them again they will look just like new. Right now we are cleaning hundreds of summer suits and dresses and sealing them In dust and moth-proof bags. These will be hung away and not opened until next spring. We guarantee every Job to open up satisfactorily, and that no moths will have both ered them if the bag has not been broken. Better be safe than sorry— send us your summer gar ments NOW.

"You sairl that before Daddy!" ex claimed the Kiri. “Yet what you tru ly want of a woman Is a home and chlldn n. Children Imply to all men what I am to you. If some ntcn have not reared their children so that they receive from them what you get from tne, it is time for the men to realize this, and change their methods of rearing their daughters and sons. A nome should mean to every man what your home does to you. It all men do not get from their homes what you do, In most eases it is their own fault. Of course I know there are women so abominably obsessed witht self, they refuse to become mothers, and perfer a cafe, with tangoing between coursi s to a home: such women should have first the ducking stool, and if that isn't efficacious, extermination; they are a disgrace to our civilization and the weakest spot we have, Th< y are at the bottom of the present boiling discontent of women who really want to be home loving, home k<eplng.' They are directly responsible for the fathers, sons, brothers, and lovers with two standards of morals. A man reared in the right kind of a home, by a real mother, who goes into other homes of the Fame kind, ruled by similar mothers, when he haves his, and marries the right girl and eatab lishc-s for himself a real home, is not going to go wrong. It is the sons, lovers, and husbands of the women who refuse home and children, and carry their men into a perpetual round of what they deem pleasure in their youth, who find life desolate when age begins to come, and who instantly rebel strongest against Do very conditions they have made. I've been listening to you all my life, Daddy, and remembering mother, reading, thinking, and watching for what really pays, anil believe me, I've found out. I gave Nellie Minturn the best In my heart the other day, but you should see what Igot back. Hor rors, Daddy! Just plain hrtrrors! I said to Douglas that night when I read him the letter I afterward show ed you, that if. as she su-gested, I was 'ever faintly tempted to neglect home life for society,' in her I would have nil the 'horrible example' I'd' ever need, and rest assured J shall." "Poor woman!” exclaimed Mr. Win ton. "Exactly!" cried Leslie. "And the poorest thing about it is that she Is not to blame in the least. You and my mother could have made the same kind of a woman of me. If you had fed me cake Instead of bread; if you had given me candy instead of fruit; if you had taken me to the show Instead of entertaining mo nt home: if you had sent me to summer resorts instead of Buramering with me In the country, you’d have had an other Nellie on your hands. The world is full of Nellies, but where one woman flees too strict and mono tonous a home, to make a Nellie out of herself, ten are taken out and de liberately moulded, drilled and fas hioned into Nellies by their own par ents. I have Inin awake at nights figuring this, Daddy: some woman Is urging me every day to Join different movements, and I've been forced to study this out. I know the cause of the present unrest among women." "And it is-?" suggested Mr. Winton. "It is the rebound from the pioneer li-yea of our grandmothers; They und their mothers were at one extreme; we are at the widest sweep of the other. They were forced to enter the forest and In most cases defend them s lvcs from savages and animals; tu I work without tools, to live with few comforts. In their determination to save their children from hardships, they lost sense, ballast and ‘ reason. They have saved them to such an ex tent they have lost them. By thq very method of their rearing, they have robbed their children of love for, and interest in, home life, and with their own hands sent them to oaf- s and dance halls, when they should be at their homes training their chil dren for the fashioning of future honv s. I tell you, Daddy-’’ "Lesilie, tell me this," Interposed Mr. Winton. "Did you get any small part of what you have been saying to me, from me? Do you fec-1 what 1 have tried to teach you, and the m..n ncr in which I have tried to r«ar you, have put your love for me into your heart and such Ideas as you aro pro pounding into your head?" "Of couise, Daddy!" cried the girl. "Who else? Mother was dear and wonderful, but I scarcely remember hi r. What you put into the growth of me, that Is what is bound to come out, when I begin to live independent ly.” "This 1» the best moment of my life!" said Mr. Winton. "From your birth you have been the better part of me, to me; and with all my heart 1 have tried to fashion you into such a woman for a future home, as your mother began, and you have com pleted for me. Other things have failed me; I count you my success. Leslie!" "Oh Daddy!” cried the happy girl. "Now go back to our start," said Mr. Winton. “You have plans for the summer, of course! I realized that at the beginning. Are you ready to tell me?” "I am ready to ask you," she said. "Thank you,” said Mr. Winton. “I appreciate tho difference. Surely a man does enjoy counting for some thing with his women." "Spoiled shamelessly, dearest, that’s what you are,” said Leslie. "A spoil ed, pampered father! But to con clude. Mr. Swain helped you. Bay back. Daddy, no matter what the cost; pay back. You help him, I'll help you! My Idea was this: for weeks I’ve foreseen that you wouldn’t like to have business this summer. Douglas Is delving into that tnvestlga tlon Mr. Minturn started him on and ho couldn't be dragged away. He's lierfectly possessed. Of course where my men are, like Ruth, ‘there will be I also,’ so for days I've been working on a plan, and now It’s all finished and waiting your veto or approval." "Thrilling. Leslie! Tell quickly. I'm all agog!" "It's this: let’s not go away and spend big sums on travel, dress, and close the house, and throw our people out of work. Do you realize. Daddy, how long you’ve had the same housekeeper, cook, maid and driver? Do you know how badly I'd feel to let them go and risk getting them back in the fall? My scheme is to rent, for practically nothing, a log cabin I AIIYK.KT1SEMK.NT. Getting Too Fat? Try This—Reduce People who don't grow too fat are the fortunate exception.

Nebraska fH Power € know, a little over un hour’s run from here—a log cabin with four rooms and a leanto and a log stable, besides a lake where there is grand fishing and swimming.” ‘ Hut Leslie-” protested Mr. Wln ton. "Now listen!” cried the girl. “The rent is nominal. We get the house, orchard, garden, a few acres and a rented cow. The cabin has two tiny rooms above, one for you, the other for Douglas, Below, It has a room for me, a dining room and a kitchen. The big log barn close beside has space in the haymow for the wo men and in one side below for our drlvejr, the other for the carB. Over the cabin is a grapevine. Around it there are fruit trees. There Is a largo, rich garden. If 1 had your permission I would begin putting In vegetable^ tomorrow that would make our summer supply. Rogers "You are not going to tell me that Rogers would touch a garden?” quer ied Mr. Wlnton. "I am going to tell you that Rogers has been with me In evetjy step of my Investigations,” replied Leslie. "Yesterday 1 called In my household and gave them a lecture on the pres ent crisis; I found them a remarkably well-informed audience They had a very distinct Idea that If I economized by dismissing them for the summer, and leaving the house with a care taker, what It would mean to them. Then I took my helpers Into the car and drove out the Atwater road—you know it well. Daddy, the road that duns smooth over miles of country and then instead of jumping Into the lake as it seems to be going to, it swings into corduroy through a marsh, runs up on a little bridge spanning the channel between two lakes, lifts to Atwater lake shore, than which none Is more lovely—you mtmember the white sand floor arid the clean water for swimming— climbs another hill, and opposite lreautlful wood, there stands the log cabin I told you of, there I took them and explained. They could clean up In a day; Rogers could plant the gar den, and take enough on one truck load, for a beginning. We may have wood for the fireplace by gathering it from the forest floor. Rogers again!" "Are you quite sure about Rogers?" “Suppose you ride with him going down and ask him yourself,” sug gested Leslie. "Rogers is anxious to hold his place. You see It’s like this: all of them get regular wages, have a chance at the swimming, rowing, gar dening and the onjtitry. The savings omes In on living expenses. Out there we have the cow, flour, fish, and poultry from the neighbors, fresh eggs, butter and the garden—I can cut expenses to one fourth; lights altogether. Moonshine and candles will serve; cooking fuel, gasoline. Daddy, will you go tonight and see?" "No. I won’t go tonight and see, I’ll go and swim and fish,” said Mr. Wlnton. "Oreat heavens. Les lie, do you really mean to live all summer beside a lake, where a man can expand, absorb and exercise? I must get out my fishing tackle. I wonder what Douglas has! I’ve tried that lake when bass were slashing around wild thorn and crab trees shedding petals and bugs. It Is man's sport there! I like black bass fishing. I remember that water. Fine for swimming! Not the exhillratlon of salt, perhaps, hut grand, clean, old northern Indiana water, cooled by springs. 1 love it! Lord. Leslie! Why don’t we own that place! Why haven't we homed there, and been comfortable for years?” “I shall go ahead then?” queried Leslie. "You shall go a-hurry. Miss, hur ry!" cried Mr. Winton. "I’ll give you just two days. One to clean, th* other to move; tomorrow night send for me. I want a swim; cornbread. milk, and thre* rashers of bacon for my dinner and nothing else: and can't the maids have my room and let me have a blanket on the hay?" “But father, the garden!" cautioned Leslie. "Oh, drat the garden!" cried Mr Winton. "But if you go drafting things. I can't economize,” the girl reminded him. "Rogers sfnd I have that garden down on paper, and it's late now.” "Leslie, don't the golf links He have a mile from there?" "Closer, Daddy,” said the girl, "right around the corner. "I don't see why you didn't think of it before." he said. "Have ymu told Douglas?” “Not a word!” exclaimed Leslie. “I'm going to invite him down when everything Is in fine order.” "Don't make things fine,” said Mr. Winton. "Let’s have them rough!" “They will be roqgh enough to suit you. Daddy," laughed Leslie, “but a few things have got to be done.” "Then hurry, but don’t forget the snake question.” "People are and have been living there for generations: common care is all that is required." said Leslie. "I'll be careful, hut If you tell Bruce until I am ready, I'll never forgive you." Mr. Winton arose. “Come to me arms," he laughed, spreading them wide. “I wonder If Douglas Bruce knows what a treasure he is going to possess?" "Certainly not!" said lyeslie em phatically. "I wouldn't have him know for the world! I am going to he his pmerossilng housekeeping party, to which he is invited every day, after we are married, and each day he has got a new surprise coming, that 1 hope he will like. The woman who endures and wears well In matrimony is the one who 'keeps something to herself.’ It’s my opinion that mod ern marriage would he more satisfac tory if the engaged parties would not come so nearly being married, for so long before they are. There is so lit tle left for afterward, In most cases, that it soon grows monotonous.” "Leslie, where did you get all of this?" he asked. "I told you. From you, mostly," explained the girl, "and from watch ing thv friends. Go on, Daddy! And send Rogers back soon! I want t obe gin buying radish seed and onion sets." So Leslie telephoned Douglas Bruce that she would be very busy with housekeeping affairs the coming two days. She made a list of what would be required for that day, lef tthe maids to collect it. and went to buy seeds and a few tools; then re turning she divided her forces and leaving part to pack the tieddlng. old dishes and things absolutely required for living and stoekine the nantrv. she took tho loaded car and drove to Atwater lake. The owner of the land, a cultured, refined gentleman, who spoke the same brand of English used by thu Wintons. nnd evinced a knowledge of the same books, was genuinely In forested In Leslie and her plans. It was a land owner's busiest season, but he spared a man an hour with u plow to turn up the garden, and earfie down himself and with practiced hand swung the scythe, and made sure about the snakes. Soon the maids had the cabin walls swept, the floors scrubbed, the windows washed, and that was all that could be done. The seeds were earth enfolded In t warm hlaek beds, with flower seeds j tucked in for borders. The cut grass was raked back, and spread to dry for the rented cow. When la'hlng further was to he ac complished there, they returned to Multiopolls to hasten preparations for the coming day. It was all so good Leslie stopped at her father's office to see If she could speak with him and poured a flood of cloverbloom, bird notes and water shimmer into his willing ears.
