A i'bw years ago says the Holt County Independent, a wealthy Iowa fanner named Preston purchased for his sou, the Brockman ranch in Keya Paha county. The ranch bad some alfalfa on it and the young Mr. Preston has added more. Last fall he conclud ed to fatten some steers on tbo alfalfa, while his father fattened his on his Iowa corn, The father went ahead and fattened bis steers on his Iowa corn, and the son fattened his on bis Keya Paha county alfalfa. Tbo son had to drive his steers thirty-fivo miles to tbo railroad and it took a day long er to get them to market but they met at market on the same day with their fat cattle. To the surprise of the father he found that the Nebraska cat tle fattoned on alfalfa brought ten cents a hundred more than his cattle which woro fattoned on Iowa com. This is the kind of proof that satisfies the blindest man and shows the groat money that theie is in store for those who make a success in growing alfalfa. Thore is still some time left this "season In which to sow alfalfa. Alfalfa sown during the next week is not too late when we consider the condition of the ground. Togo. 1 1 eveu a nation should be proud of her great men, Japan owes a debt of gratitude to her peerless naval com X mander, Admiral Togo. He stands In a class by Himself. He is, to naval warfare, what Napoleon was on land, in n olass by himself. Saturday be met the Russian fleet in the open sea and gave battle to a squadron twice the size of his own, and almost with out loss completely annihilated the naval pride of the Russian Empire. Rear Admiral 'Ncbogaloff was captured and Admiral Kojcstvcnsky barely escaped with a disabled flagship. It was a glorious victory and all Anicr. ica rejoices. It was a clear field with no tnvors, on ttio open sea. Alter months of preparation both were pre pared and no apologies can be offered. The day of carnage is about over and the serfs of Russia may hope for bet ter things, and thank Togo and Oyama for delivering them from bondage. Memorial Day. Tuesday, to the beat of muffled drum till patriotic Americans paid a silent ttibute to their honored dead. Flowers wore strewn on the graves of the heroes who died in battle to save the nation or as a result of exposure in the noblo cause that makes every American proud of bis home and an cestors. With flags at half-mast, nil the nation mourns her honored dead. Nebrnskans arc proud that recent legislation has stopped the desecration of the day by games and amusements. The day is and should be sucred to the memory of the dead; and so long as patriotic impulse surges through the American breast so long will the mem ory of our heroes bo revered on . each succeeding memorial day. Closo of the Mission. The week's mission at Holy Rosary church closed last Sunday with high mass, celebrated by Father Dcvos, fol lowed with sermon and papal benedic tion by the missionary, Father Lam bert, and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Thai the week's services were participated in by many was at tested by the large number of com municants and the great gathering at the closing6crviccs. It must be said that Father Lambert is a most success ful worker in his special line of church work. He not only interests all who listen to his sermons, but awakens the hearts and minds of those who have grown lax in their duty to their creator. In his closing remarks Father Lambert urged the Catholics of Alliance to assist Father Dcvos in his efforts to further the advancement of Holy Rosary con gregalion by securing two greatly need ed acquisitions namely, a parochial school for the benefit of the children, and bell for the church. The former, Father Lambert held, was of such urgent and immediate necessity that no time should be hst in prepaiing for the fall term. The Elks Club. The new Elks club is now open to the members.
