3?0 Acre Free Homestead
WYOMING, COLORADO AND MONTANA: The Mondell Homestead law makes pro
visions for 320-acre homesteads in certain localities, instead of the usual 160
acre tracts. The requirements of the law are practically the same regarding
residence, improvements and cultivation. These lands are going fast; if you
want a homestead close to the railroad, you should act now.
t CROPS AN1 RAINFALL: Visitors to the Omaha Corn Show will remember the
magnificent display of farm products from Weston County, Wyoming, grown
on exactly the same kind of land that can now be taken in 320 acre homesteads.
The Mondell Act includes lands that rece ve from 16 to 21 inches of rainfall
annually and you only need to see the crops grown by the farmers already lo
cated there, to be convinced. These homesteads can be taken along the Bur
lington's new line now building in Wyoming.
I personally conduct excursions the first and third Tuesdays of each month
to these lands; send this ad to your friends back east and have them write me.

EDUCATIONAL
School Notes from
County Superintendent
School district No. 3 has just com
pleted ii new school house. It is a
frame building, 16x24 feet, built of
first-class material and is well built.
The district went in debt three hun
dred dollars and issued warrants cov
ering the amount to bo drawn on
the building fund of the district. This
is the first district that has taken 'ad
vantage of this method of securing
money for a schoolhousc, and which
comes under an act providing for a
levy of ten mills on the assessed valua
tion of a school district for the accumu
lation of a buildiug fund. This law
was passed during the last legislature,
and is better than the old method of
voting bonds when the amount can be
raised in three years or less.
Miss badie Hacker is teaching the
Zoblo school in district No. 12 this
year, and is certainly well worth the
fifty dollars a month paid her by this
district, which is probably the most
progressive district in the county. Last
year they built a new schoolhousc
which cost seven hundred and fifty
dollars, and this year they have al
ready built a new barn, drilled a well,
and put up a windmill- All of this is
enclosed with a good, strong woven
wire fence, which is a credit to any
school. Next year this district will
start a grove around the schoolhousc,
and wo think that in n very few years
we wjll have school grounds in Box
Butte county that will compare in
beauty with those in the eastern part
of our state. We wonder that some of
the neighboring schools do not follow
No. ia's methods, or even take the lead
in this line of- development.
Mr- John Linzen was in town Thurs
day and left an order for several school
books, as school will begin in his dis
trict next Monday. Miss Flora God
frey will teach this school again this
year. They will hold a six months
term and will pay forty-five dollars n
month. There is not assessed valua
tion big enough in this district so they
can vote bonds for a schoolhouse, and
school will be held in Miss Godfrey's
house as it was last year.
Miss Annie Kennedy began school in
the Hagamau district last Monday with
a salary of sixty dollars a month. Mfss
Kennedy was principal of the Marsland
school last year and is thoroughly cap
able ot carrying the nipth grade, and
do work equivalent to that done in the
average high school. There are six
pupils in the ninth grade and they will
be a good, strong class. The same
hooks are being used as are used in the
Alliance schools, so when school is out
the pupils can enter school here and
complete the year's course.
Word has been received from Miss
Sylvia Hagaman from Seattle stating
that she would not teach there as she
had intended, and asking for a school
in this county. She has been elected
in district No. 9, the district just north
of her home school where she taught
the last three years. The Sherlock
district is' certainly fortunate in secur
ing Miss Hagamau and wo are glad to
have her on the list of teachers for
another year.
Miss Lulu Walling who teaches in
the Canton district is the first to get a
monthly report to the superintendent's
office for this year. Her first month
ended September 10, and she reports
an enrollment of ten pupils and the fol
lowing five were neither absent nor
tardy for the month: Alois Darta,
Ella Barta, Ella Horavek, John Ken
nedy and Bud Kennedy.
Mrs. B. B. Ford and daughter, Gen
evieve, came down from Marsland,
Friday; Mrs. Ford to take the teachers
examination, and Genevieve on her
way to Peru, where she will attend the
State Normal school for the. coming
school year. Mrs Ford will teach the
home school again this year.
Supt. Hayes went to Lincoln, Fri
day, to attend a meeting of the execu
tive board of the State Teachers' Asso
ciation. He returned Monday morn
ing. Mr. H. H. Funk, formerly principal
of the Hcmingford school, visited in
Alliance a few days this week. Mr
Funk is now living at Funk, Nebr.,
where he has been engaged in the drug
business since leaving here six years
ago. His wife, Mrs. Myrtle Funk, who
is well knowu around Hemingford, is a
candidate for county superintendent of
Phelps county.
Teachers should be prompt in send
ing in their reports. One report is to
be &unt to the superintendent at the
dose of the second week of school, and
DEPARTHENT
one at the closo of each school month,
Thcso should ho mailed on Saturday
following the last day of the school
month. Tl.is will greatly lessen tho
work of tho superintendent in checking
them over, and should tho attendance
of pupils not bo satisfactory the matter
can bo looked to at onco and thus bo of
much convenience to tho teacher.
The Hashman school district No. 58
recently held a meeting for a bond
election, and voted bonds iu the amount
of five hundred dollars, for tho purpose
of buildiug and equipping a school
house. Those present were unani
mously in favor of bonding the district
for this purposo, and tho history of the
bond has been sent to tho Slato Audi
tor and approved, and tho bond is ready
for sate. This amount with the amount
already iu the school district treasury,
will bo sufficient for tho erection and
equipping of a nice building. Charles
Briukman is doing tho work and the
building will bo completed by tho first
of October.
Miss Grace Lipska, who attended
tho Alliance Junior Normal this sum
mer, and whoso homo is in Sidney, is
visiting friends in Alliance for a few
weeks. She expects to attend the Lin
coln Business college this winter ns her
eyes arc not strong enough to allow her
to continue toaching. She taught a
term near Angora last winter.
Miss Marion Lotspicch went to Bing
ham last week where sho will teach a
three months' term of school.
Mrs. Myrtle Leishman is teaching
tho home school this year, and school
opened Monday, September 6. This is
a small school, there being only twelve
pupils enrolled, but there is a good at
tendance. The school house is only
about ten rods from Mrs. Leishman's
home, so is very convenient for her
neice, Fay Hombry, who is staying
with her and going to school.
Miss Elizabeth Phillips, who teaches
iu district No. 14, west ot Hcmingford,
spent Sunday with her folks in Al
liance- She reports an enrollment of
sixteen, and says sho has tho nicest
school this year that she has ever
taught. Sho has an exceptionally
good attendance, which is one of the
most essential things necessary for a
good school. Teachers and parents
should work together and keep tho at
tendance as nearly perfect as possible.
All schools that are in acssion now
are making a collection of school work
to he placed on exhibit at the county
fair, and, although it will havo to he
prepared in only one week, from the
interest taken quite a large collection
will be sent.

Abolition of tho Rum Power.
A series of heart-to-heart talks on the
above named subject by Prof. J. L. Mc
Brien, ex-state superintendent of public
instruction of Nebraska:
TALK NINE.
More than once during the awful seven
years' struggle and suffering in the war for
American independence, was George
Washington found in earnest prayer to
God, making sincere supplication to Heav
en for wisdom, help and courage in such
measure as to make victory sure for tho
American people. Once during the terri
ble winter at Valley Forge, Washington was
found kneeling in prayer by a soldier, who
wrote home to his wife about the incident
saying, "King George can never triumoh
over the American people with a man like
George Washington for their leader,"
It was after the Constitutional Conven
tion had dragged along heavily and hope

Bishop S j.:t. ., that duriue the
darkest days of the Civil war. when he vis
ited the White House, he often found Lin
coln in earnest prayer, crying unto God
for help and victory for the Union cause,
When the news came of Lee's surrender to
Grant on April 9, 1865, Mr, Lincoln and
his cabinet were, holding a conference.
When the telegram was read, it filled them
with joy unspeakable. At last Mr. Lin
coln broke the silence by saying, Gentle
men let us thank God for this victory ."
The great president and every member of
his cabinet knelt in a prayer of thanks
giving.
One of the most remarkable and striking
scenes that ever oecurred on the deck of a
battleship in time of war was that on
board the "Texas" just at the close of the
great sea fight off the coast of Santiago,
which ended in the destruction of Cer
vera's fleet. At the moment when victory
was assured and the guns of the "Texas"
had ceased firing, Capt. J. W. Phillips of
that battleship called his officers and crew
together and addressed them as follows "I
wish to mako confession that I havo im
plicit faith In God and In the ollkors and
crow of tho "Texas," but my faith In you
is socondary only to my faith in God. Wo
havo seen what Ho has dono for us, In al
lowing us to achlovo so great a victory,
and I want to nsk you all, or At least every
man who has no scruples, to uncover his
head with mo and silently offer a word ot
thanks to God for His goodness toward us
all."
When we wore almost intoxicated ovor
our victories in Manila Bay and at Santi
ago In tho Spanish-American war, wo wore
called to soborness by tho appointment of
a day of fasting and prayer by President
McKinley.
With these glorious precedents for pray
er, no apology is necessary for the nctlon
taken by tho allied temperance forces, in
convention assembled, sit York, July g,
igog, when they unanimously passed the
following resolution rotative to a day of
prayer;
"Wo helievo in tho interposition of Dl-
vino Providence in human affairs. Wo
therefore appoint Sunday, October 17,
1909, as a day of prayer for tho r.ntire
state. Wo appeal to the peoplo to assem
ble on that day at their respective placos
of worship to imploro tho Almighty Ruler
of Nations for His help in this fight
against tho saloon, to inspiro us with cour
age to support our rights and to protect
our homes, to turn the hearts of the brew
ers and saloon-keepers to truth and jus
tice, to give us all a faith that right makes
might, and in that faith let us to tho end
daro to do our duty as we understand it,
And on this day of prayer, let mlnistors,
laymen, business and professional mon
and lcadors In ovory political party, ad
dress tho peoplo on subjects fitting and
proper for tho occasion. May God grant
that tho effect of this day throughout the
state will keep us all from being fright
ened from our truo course by any fatso ac
cusations, and that it will arouso every
man and place him solidly on his feet in
this crusade for tho abolition of tho sa
loon." In this fight against tho saloon, as in
every fight for moral and civic righteous-
ness, let us remember that the world is
built on moral foundations. In the end It
is well with those who fight for tho right.
In the end it is ill with those who fight for
tho wrong. Opinions alter, manners
change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral
law is written on the tablets of eternity.
For every false word or unrighteous deed,
for cruelty and oppression, for lust or van
ity,, the price has to bo paid at last; not al
ways paid by tho chlof offenders, hut by
someone. Justice and truth alone eudiiro
and live. Injustice and falsehood may be
long-lived, but doomsday comes at last to
them.
In this fight, O Gcd, give us men.
"Mon whom the lust of officodoes not kill,
Men whom the spoils of office will not
buy,
Men who possess opinions and a will,
Men who have honor and will not lie;
Men who stand before a demagogue,
And damn his treacherous flattering
without winking!
Tall men, sun-crowned, whp live above
the fog,
In public duty and in private thinking,"
National Convention at. Omaha
The program committee for tho National
W. C. T. U. convention, which will con
vene in Omaha, Oct. 22-27, is very fortun
ate in securing several fine speakers for
the occasion.
The annual sermon has always been a
very important feature of the National
convention, and it is with great pleasure
that we announce that. Mrs. Mary Harris
Armor, president of the Georgia W. C. T.
U., will preach Sunday afternoon. Many
people of the state had the orivileee of
hearing Mrs. Armor speak when she was
in the state last year and know of her rare
ability as an inspiring woman on the plat
form. One of the distinguished guests of the
convention will be Ex-Governor Glenn of
North Carolina, who will speak Sunday
evening.
Another will be Dr. Janey of Balti more
Md., who is prominently identified with
the Vigilance Society of that city.
Miss Ellen M. Stone, whose cantivitv in
Bulgaria is still fresh in the minds of all,
will be in attendance and will not fail to
interest everyone in her story.
Other well known W. C. T. U. workers
will be present and participate in the pro
gram.
The L. T. L's. will give n demonstra
tion one evening representing the different
countries in which there are organizations
of tho W. C. T. U. This will be a novel
and interesting entertainment.
The local chairman of the demonstra
tion committee, Mrs. Clara E. Burbank.
is also planning for a big parade of the
school children. They will march through
the principal streets down town Friday.
carrying flags and banners and singing
temperance songs. This may be made an
automobile parade as many automobile
owners have offered the use of their ma
chines for the purpose.
Owing to tho intense heat and the ab
sence from the city of many of the active
workers on the Omaha committe. the
campaign for funds has been at a stand
still, but with the cooler weather
of
September the work of raising the balance
will be pushed with new energy.
