In fact so sore he swore and swore
And kept on swearing more and more
The trouble was that folks instead
Of patronizing him by Ned

One day he got a little hint

Tho l hope took on a rosy tint
He came and ADVERTISED his stock
His store was crowded chuck-a-

may come and
CONVENTIONS may go but It
will be a long time before St
Louis will forget the recent in
teresting one held there This was the
great meeting of farmers the joiut
convention of the Farmers
al and Co operative union a southern
organization with 3S0OO0O members
the American Society of Equity a
northern organization with 2230000
members and nearly -100 subsidiary
and affiliated organizations with ap
proximately lOiKUiUU members This
i nu iiu tliereture that the delegates
were I he representatives of more Mian
7000000 men
Some facts and figures were pre
sented to tho convention that will
open the city mens eyes For instance
it is estimated by members of the
union that the farmers represented are
worth 3000 each on an average in
land alone making them the joiut pos
sessors of the inconceivable sum of
21000000000 In addition to this they
own most of the live stock In the coun
try including 21000000 horses worth
S10S apiece
Statistics presented also showed that
the tillers of the soil are In many
lines The fanners of this country
own and operate sixteen big meat
packing plants the members of the
Farmers union -own and operate 5000
manufacturing plants of various kinds
while the members of the American
Society of Equity own 4300 plants

THE MILKY WAY
b hundred Million Stars Gleam In
That Silvery Scarf
The census of the starry sky Is con
cerned almost entirely with the Milky
way The number of stars not con
nected with It Is negligible But when
rou look at the Milky way the Idea of
numbering Its stars seems the dream
of a madman It stretches all round
the sky Its extent is so uuthlnkably
Immense that science has never under
taken to measure it and the imagina
tion could not grasp the figures that
such a measurement If it was possible
to make it would involve
Yet that whole enormous expanse of
space occupied by the Milky way Is so
crowded with stars that they make
upon the eye the Impression of a sil
very scarf wound round the brow of
the universe
It requires a telescope to see them as
V broad zone of glittering points in
rtead of an almost uniform band of
whiteness in the firmament
In tome places they are more thinly
scattered so that as you gaze through
the glass you almost think that witli
infinite patience you might count the
number included in a space as large
lis the face of the moon
Hut in other places they seem to be
packed together like the sands of the
seashore They stretch away over
thousands of square degrees of space
hanging in great festoons spreading
out in vast banners where billions
upon billions of cubic miles seem to
be tilled with stars thicker than the
tlakes in a driving snowstorm
There are begemmed knots in that
starry scarf so rich that the eye is daz
zled and the mind confused by the
spectacle which they present
Yet science although It shrinks from
trying to estimate the space which
they occupy has succeeded in forming
a fairly correct enumeration of the
stars of the Milky way
The most extravagant estimates do
not put the number at moro than 300
000000 and the most trustworthy and
probable make them a third less
A hundred million stars then is the
total population of the glittering uni
verse and when we see what a mar
velous effect of iHimmerableness they
produce we begin to appreciate what
a hundred millions mean Garrott V

MANS THREE DUTIES
A Good Husband a Good Father and
a Good Neighbor
I have made a code for my own guid
ance which interest you I hold
that a mans first duty is to be a good
husband which implies of course that
he ought to marry and then make his
wife believe if he can that she has
been the most fortunate of women
It isnt easy but my how it pays
lie must be lover husband son and
even father by turns and occasionally
just nobody he must get clear off the
earth But when he comes back
A mans second duty is to be a good
father which implies of course that
he ought to have children adopted if
necessary He ought to be to them
the standard by which all other men
are measured and found wanting be
cause he is their daddy and they love
him
A mans third duty is to be a good
neighbor to carry his share no matter
how small or how great it may be of
the communitys worthy enterprises
to share the sorrows and the joys of
those around him to make his home
a real asset to his community
After a man has done these three
things if he has time and means and
strength he can and should think in
wider circles But the man who does
these three well is doing more than if
he contributed millions and neglected
these three The man who neglects
his wife or his children or his neigh
bors no matter what other apparently
of America and Europe It had no gleut things he may have done will

Among the speakers at the j
tion were men of national reputation
including President Taft Ilere are
some excerpts from the addresses
The farmer instead of profiting by
the prevalent high prices of foodstuff
which he produces is making less
money now than he did under the
regime of low prices
The most important force for the
Welfare of the nation yet to come is
the landowners of America when or
ganized Their organization is not
only important to themselves but im
portant to the consumers whose cost
of living is too high It is not the
prices the farmers receive that make
living expenses so high The high cost
of living is largely chargeable to the
dealers profits made between the
farmers and the consumers

you have to say and to state my views

Among the most important matters
discussed were the need of a parcels

and the establishment of a 10000000

Beatrice June 7-S-9 1910
Probably thousands of Sunday
school workers in Nebraska are now
looking forward to the state conven

ery Sunday school teacher and offi

of the work taken up
