Why not talk more of tlie lure of
the rountry and less of the lure of
the city? Some may say that the
country Is not so Inviting aa the city
to young people. That is only part
ly true. The city take pains to
present Its attractions, while only too
often farmers and others talk main
ly about hard work and drugery on
the farm. That there la bard work
and occasionally some drudgery in
country life is true, but ao there is
In the city. In fact there is more
of it there than any place else except
to a few who climb high. While the
attraction or lure of the city is most
ly artificial that of the country Is
real. The average man Urea better
In the country than In the town, the
wages of the farm hand CO further
than do the wages of the hired men
In the city. The food is more whole
some, the air purer, the conditions
of life easier on the farm than in
the town. Of course lota of folks do
not believe it and there are lota who
do believe It but who would rather
half starve In some tenement than
enjoy life in a cottage in the country
with rood food, fair wage, better
conditions for the family, and all
God's out of doors to revel In.
Was there ever a more thrilling
and gruesome tale of sordidness and
graft than that recounted by Mr.
Mellen concerning the New Haven
lines? Some reputations have got
ten smirched as a result. As for the
late Flerpont Morgan it la clear that
in more ways than one he waa the
man behind the throne, especially In
New England. The money and oth
er power such men wield proves that
they are a menace to the state. Mr.
Mellen stated the fact correctly
when he quoted the old Scotch say
ing, "Where McGregor sits, there is
the head of the table." The testi
mony already given shows that the
end is not yet. What the country
demands and needs Is the uncover
ing of everything no matter whoae
character is affected.
These are the days when patriot
ism Is exalted, and that la well. No
one can love too much his nation or
adopted country, or show too much
devotion to its interests. Dut let
rot one's patriotism be limited to
his country. Let him not forget to
be loyal and true to his own town.
He can be this without lessening his
devotion to the nation. Too often
people fail in local patriotism. They
.do nothing for the welfare of their
town except to grudgingly pay taxes.
The loyal citizen will ever seek to
advance Its good; he will use every
opportunity to speak well of it, will
point out its advantages, will cheer
fully perform all the duties of citl
tensbip, and will never hesitate to
Join with others in booming it.
The beautiful custom of placing
wreaths and flowers on the graves of
departed friends and relatives has
again been followed, and it is bound
to grow in popularity because of the
sentiment that attacbea to it. An
other beautiful thing Is to strew
flowers along life's pathway. A situ
pie flower with its fragrance and
beauty given to one while living is
worth a whole boquet when one is
dead. These oral flowers of kind
wishes, cheering sentences, and
warm handgrasp cost nothing finan
cially but oftentimes their value is
beyond measure.
Where will you find a man always
grateful, always affectionate, never
selfish, pushing the abnegation of
self to the utmost limits of poasibll
lty, forgetful of injuries, and mind
ful only of benefits received? Seek
him not; it would be a useless task;
but take the first dog you meet and
from the moment he adopts you for
hia master you will find In him all
these qualities. He wrll love you
without calculation. IIU greatest
happiness will be to be near you, and
should you be reduced to beg your
bread, not only will be aid you. but
he will not abandon you to follow a
king to his palace. Your friends
may quit you in misfortune, but your
dog will remain; he will die at your
feet, or. If you depart before him on
the great voyage, he will accompany
you to your last abode.
Now we know why bald headed
men go to sleep in church. Ralph

tyre, a senior electrical engineering
student In the state university, has
explained the phenomenon. He says
the reason is that a glaring light be-
fore the eyes produces drowsiness,
and men with bald heads and scant
eyebrows are less protected from the
light than others, or particularly
than women, who wear their hats In
cnurcn. now will some one tell us
why men who are not bald headed
go to sleep in church?
It isn t often that anyone gets
ahead of a newspaper man. A burg
lar tried it the other night. He broke
into an editor's house by mistake.
The latter was awake and he watch
ed the burglar search through vari
ous pockets and drawers but of
course found nothing. Just as he
was about to depart the editor drawl
ed out, "Say, partner, won't you lend
me a dollar?" The burglar was sur-
prised, but appreciated the Joke,
tossed the editor a dollar and took
his departure.
The postoffice department propos
es to catch certain violators of the
taws and regulations "both a-comin'
and a-goln'." It has Just ruled that
a concern using the malls for the
d'ssemlnation of salacious matter
must deliver the goods under penal
ty of a fraud order; and delivering
the goods will be stopped for send
ing obscene matter through the
malls. The way of the transgressor
is becoming harder every day.
A bll has been introduced in the
Maryland legislature to prohibit the
wearing by girla and women of high
heeled shoes and silt skirts and also
the dancing of such "Immoral danc
es as the turkey trot, the bunny bug.
the tango or the loop the loop." The
bUl prescribes that money collected
from fines for violating Its provisions
shall be used to "educate girls how
to dress decently."
Every general election In
Fr.n(..
serves to show that the republic
1,1
firmly entrenched in the hearts and
minds of the people. Since the great
revolution no other form of govern
nient has lasted half as long. The
story of the French nobleman who
used to ask his valet every morning
under what form of government they
were living, has lost its point. Re
publicanlsin has evidently come to
stay.
When a man in the humbler ranks
goes astray through drink or dishon
esty he is called a drunkard and a
thief, but not ao if he moves in weal
thy circles. He is then the victim of
kleptomania, dipsomania or some
other mania, and people are asked
to sympathize with him. What a
softening down the English language
does get when It comes to a matter
of dollars.
How quiet everything is in the se
lect social life of the nation. There
are no Yanderbilt. uould. or other
domestic scandals being aired, and
no foreign counts marrying rich Am
erican girls, for all of which let ev
eryone be devoutly thankful. Of
course there Is still Harry Thaw, but
then, like the poor, he Is ever with
us.
The conservative party In England
prides itself on being the "Gentle
men's party." Judging from the
scene in the house of commons the
other night when the speaker ap
pealed in vain to the leader of the
conservatives to help him quell the
tumult the torles were making, the
party seems to have the manners of
a bear and monkey combined in one
The speaker had to adjourn the ses
sion because of the disorder.
The Fourth of July is not far
away, and it is high time to make up
one's mind that he will not do any
thing calculated to cause him to lose
a hand or otherwise be mutilated for
life. The "sane Fourth" idea has
made good headway the last few
years, but there is room atill for
more sanity. Some folks think they
are not patriotic unless they endan
ger their own life or that of other
people.
For a woman alleged to be so frail
and weak, and next door to death.
Mrs. Pankhurst. the militant suff
rage leader in England, snows re-
markable vitality and strength. With
her out door demonstrations and a
lot of other things she seems to be
able to perform more and endure
more than a strong: man. Probably
her weakness and frailty come on
occasions only.
Some people alarm us with their
assertion that the natural resources
of this country will be exhausted
within a few years If the present
methods continue. And others just
as loudly assert that the resources
are practically Inexhaustible. One
can believe which he pleases, but all
the same It la the wise man or wom
an who abstaina from wastefulness
In the home or In business.
Public opinion is very strong
while it lasts but public opinion too
often has a habit of dying out. Then
It Is that unscrupulous politicians
who go Into hiding while public opin-
ion is making Itself heard come forth
out of their dens to work mischief
once more. Eternal vigilance Is the
price of many other things besides
human liberty.
An exchange says: Our attention
has been called to the fact that we
never saw a bald headed woman.
Well, what of that? There ara a
good many things we never saw. We
never saw a woman sit on a drygoods
box and surround herself with filthy
pools of extract of tobacco sprayed
through her teeth. We never saw
one go fishing with a bottle of bait
in her hip pocket, sit on the damn
ground and go home drunk at night
We never saw a woman yank off her
coat, give her pants a hitch. Bplt on
her hands and swear she could whip
the biggest man in town. Come to
think of it, there are a good many
things we never saw a woman do,
and don't want to, either.
When a man Is through with his
day's work and is sitting down rest
ing in hia home, he can not read the
advertisements on the fence and the
nana dims ana circulars that were
left on the door step during the day
and have blown away or been de
stroyed. He calls for the paper and
there finds the merchant's announce
ment, and with nothing to bother his
mind he reads it carefully and calls
his wife's attention to it, and they
decide to go to the merchant's store
and examine what Is advertised.
Whenever a man abuses bis town
he owes the town something. When
ever he abuses his neighbor he prob
ably owes his neighbor. Whenever
he abuses anything, a withdrawal of
the mystic curtain will quite likely
reveal some enmity or spite. If you
can t say a good word of your neigh
nor, non t say anything, and It you
can't say a good word of your town,
move out of it. You help to make
the community in which yon live,
and when you curse it, you curse
yourself.
Talk up your town; don't run it
down. If you do not like it. leave
It; but don't stay here and abuse it.
As long as you choose to reside here
you are a component part of the
place and are very foolish to see
your own disparagement. Talk up
your town, write and speak in ita
praise, and show yourself worthy of
your home and friends.
When a man tells you that the
big city weekly Is worth more than
your home paper, ask him how much
the big city has ever done for your
locality; If it has ever spoken a good
word for it; if it has ever mentioned
what he and you were doing to im
prove the condition; if it has ever
noticed him or his friend when sick
or dying in short, if ell his deal
ings with the metropolitan weekly
have not been entirely one sided, in
which his dollar only waa recognized
by the other party, while he and all
his individual interests were com-

Frouv state legislator to lieuten
ant governor seems to be a natural
order of political evolution in Ne
braska, probably because the lieuten
ant governor is ex officio president of
the senate. Hon. James Pearson of
Moorefield, member of the legisla
ture from the Sixty-sixth represent
ative district, comprising Frontier
and Gosper counties, was first to an
nounce his candidacy for this order
of evolution this year. He filed ear
ly In March for the democratic nom
ination for lieutenant governor. He
is highly commended by his legisla
tive associates and other acquaint
ances. He will no doubt run well in
western Nebraska and is said to be
popular in the central and eastern
parts of the state.
Some interesting news for the
sporting department by Doc Cope-
land has been crowded out this
week. Beginning next week this
department will be particularly in
tereatiug. Watch for it.
Ai i:itTisiN; iii.i.pm
If there were no advertising the
cost of living would be higher than
It is. Advertising concentrates the
demand for certain articles on a few
well-known trademarked lines In
stead of many different lines as for
merly, and keeps factories busy. The
greater the output the less the cost.
If we are raising 40 bushels of corn
per acre the cost per bushel is Just
about half that of a neighbor who
produces 20 bushels. Six loaves of
bread can be baked with the same
heat that bakes one losf.
The same principle applies to man
ufacturing. Take shoes for exam
ple. Twenty years ago there were
3,000 shoe manufacturers. Today
there are 1,300. The bulk of the
shoes sold to the fifty million people
living on farms and In small towns
are made by about fifty large manu
facturers. The other 1,250 are
small concerns who make "private
branded" shoes. The largest con
cerns making shoes, clothing, hosi
ery, underwear, or any other line
are advertising their goods under
their own name and trademark. They
have become leaders because they
give better values and tbey make
these values known by advertising.
As the output increases, the mak
ing cost goes down. The saving is
put into extra quality. As sales in
crease the selling cost goes down.
This saving on selling goes into ad
vertising. Advertising has kept pric
es stationary and in many cases has
lowered them, besides increasing
quality, even in the face of Increas
ing cost of raw materials and labor.
Naturally, we want to buy where
we can get the best prices.. There
fore, always ask for and insist upon
having advertised goods bearing the
maker's name and trademark. Many
of them are found in this paper.
