The thirty second annual meeting of

hold in Lincoln Nebraska Tuesday nnd
Wednesday January 2Gth and 27th
The Indianola Independent recently
advertised for suggestions as to how to
improve tho paper nnd one unfeeling
wretch who couldnt tell a lie wrote
him as follows
Dear Randolph Jack up the head
ing nnd put an entire new paper under
it Then discharge tho editor and black
smiths and hire someone to edit and
print
It may not be known but it ia a fact
that the Republican Valley shipped
more beets to tho two sugar beet
factories of the state last season
thau did tho Platte Valley where the
industry had its birth in this state The
Republican Valley shipped 14000 tons
and the Platte Valley 12000 tons There
is no place on earth where they can pro
duce more and better beets than can bo
raised with honest toil together with in
telligent culture in the Republican Val
ley The industry should not be allow
ed to languish
The activity in behalf of President
Roosevelt in certain localities of the
state indicates to The Tribune in par
ticular two facts namely that there is
fear of a secret and powerful opposition
to his renomiuntion and reelection in
corporate and allied circles or that there
are numerous boosters over tho state
looking to the future and its possibilities
at tho public crib But the real fact
that appeals to The Tribune is that
the rank and file of Republicans in Ne
braska are for Roosevelt first last and
all the time and there is no danger to
the Republican party of Nebraska other
than that the plain will of the people
shall not be respected in the matter

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Of all tho books that have been written
about the west of late none probablyis
so well worth reading as The Autobio
graphy of a Prairie Girl One seldom
rends a book that meets all his ideas of
what a book should bo This book
within its limitations seem to approach
perfection for to each man that is per
fect which he believes to be perfect
The book is well written and it is inter
esting because it is intensely humnn
Ruskin tells us to search for knowledge
in tho fields with which we are least
familiar to try to learn something new
every day In this age of the world is it
not better to learn the old things better
to become proficient in just one thing
rather than to have a scattering know
ledge of many And how if we study
our lives through shall we know what I
there is to know about ourselves To
know ourselves we must know others
and there is no better means of studying
others than by reading what others say
about themselves
Wo who live in the west especially
those of us who lived here in the early
days can read this book with deeper
interest and keener appreciation than
can the easterner who does not know
what pioneering means This story is
that of a girl who was born and reared
on the prairies of Dakota Everyone
who has lived long on the plains of Ne
braska will find in its pages parallels to
his own experiences What contributes
so largely to the merit and the value of
the book is the fact that the author is
recounting her personal adventures
It is so much better than a story told at
second or even than one told in the
third person which however is the
manner in which this book is written
though in such a way that the reader
knows that the author is talking of her
self She tells of the blizzards and the
wind storms of the prairie fires and
drouths of the ravages committed by
the ground squirrels on the growing
crops and of the methods employed to
exterminate the little animals She tells
of the hard times of starving times
when the problems of existence were in
deed serious
Aside from all these incidents which
are after all the superficial things of
life she tells of herself of her personal
pleasures and disappointments of the
comedies and tragedies of child life
Carlyle says The uttered part of a
mans life let us always repeat bears to
the unuttered unconscious part a small
unknown proportion He himself never
knows it much less do others When
a man speaks of himself then other
men stop to listen As Robert Louis
Stevenson puts it the most interest
ing story in the world is how the man
next door lives Something more than
mere curiosity prompts an interest in
our neighbors affairs At any rate it will
do no harm to take the charitable view
Perhaps not even from actual contact
with men can we learn more of human
nature than Ave can learn from books of
the character of this book The men
we meet endeavor to conceal their real
selves from us The chief purpose of
autobiography is to reveal the man to
disclose the inmost workings of the mind 1
The Autobiography of a Prairie Girl
is a good wholesome story one of the
best of the seasons books and well
worth tho time required to read it

when first arising I often find a trouble
some collection of phlegm which pro

to any doctors medicine I over used
and I know whereof I speak I suf
fered for nine months with suppressed
menstruation which completely pros
trated mo Pains would shoot through
my back and sides and I would have
blinding headaches My limbs would
swell up and I would feel so weak I
could not stand up I naturally felt
discouraged for I seemed to be beyond
the help of physicians buj Wine of
Cardui came as a Ood send to me I
folt a change for the better within o
week After nineteen days treatment
I menstruated without suffering the
agonies I usually did and soon became
regular and without pain Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish
that all suffering women knew of its
good qualities
