SENT TO PROTECT AMERICANS IN MEXICO PROFESSOR NOT WELL POSTED COURSE OF TRUE LOVE Recently Professor Hengston of the Nebraska State Uuiversity de livered a lecture at Columbus, in which he showed, according to re- ports, a lack of information regard ing the agricultural development and possibilities of this end of the ' state. The Columbus Telegram takes the professor to task and stands up for western Nebraska in the follow- ; ing editorial: .Last Saturday there came to Co lumbus a man on the payroll Of our great state university. He came as an educator. He delivered a lecture, the burden of which wa: to prove that western. Nebraska is not fit for farming, and that it should be aban doned to the range cattle business. It dots not seem possible that such a lecture should have been delivered by authority of the state uuiversity, but Professor Hengston. the lectur er, gave proof of his connection with our great free educational system, ills talk about wi-i.it in Nebraska was the very same talk which the editor1 of The Telt grain heard twenty-five! .wars ago about central Nebraska. Am late as 1VJ5 there was much senti ment in eastern Nebraska in favor of creating a free-range country west of the lOnth meridian, giving all ; that vast domain over to the cattle industry. And the argument was an honest argument. .Men did not then believe that the west two-thirds of N' brnska could ever become valua ble for farming purposes. Hut the situation is different now. There is no ext-use for such argument today, because there Is proof at hand to show that only last yeur some of the moat profitable yields of grain in all !he slate were returned from the soil in the ixtrellle western counties the very soil which this paid uni versity professor says is fit only for grazing land. Having personal knowledge of the success scored by mauy farmers in western Nebraska, aad fully believ ing that agricultural .science will soon make that section of our state highly productive, The Telegram calls upon the university authorities to imuiedi Two Weddings that Disclose Odd Romances Rarely Equaled in L''e or Literature ONE COUPLE FROM NEBRASKA In these dtys of hasty marriage--and many divorces, it is lmeres::,-: o read a, -counts like the following Of true love overcoming obstacles am!
