"Know America" la a slogan that
hould ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this na
tion. No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable clti
en, and no on can merit so dis
tinguished a title until he Is well in
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country.
This is a commercial age and civ
ilization is bearing its most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa
lem for her religion; Greece for bar
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for ber astronomy and Roma for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the world's history as pow
erful products of their age. For, stand
ing at the source of every gigantic
'movement that sways civilization is a
(great man. The greatest minds travel
tin the greatest direction and the com
;merclal geniuses of this age would
;have been the sculptors, poets, phil
osophers, architects, and artists of
earlier civilizations.
' As Michael Angelo took a rock and
with a chisel hewed it into the image
of. an angel that ever beckons man
kind upward and onward. Hill took
the desert of the Northwest and with
bands of steel made it blossom like a
rose, dotted the valleys with happy
homes and built cities in waste places.
As Guttenberg took blocks of wood
and whittled them Into an alphabet
and made a printing press that
flashed education across the con
tinent like a ray of light upon
a new born world, McCormlck took
bar of iron and bent it Into
reaper and with on sweep of
his magic mind broke the shackles
that enslaved labor of generations yet
unborn, and gave mankind freedom
from drudgery, and lifted the human
race into a higher tone of life.
As Nelson organized the English navy
and made England mistress of the sea,
enabling the British Isles to plant her
flag upon every continent washed by
the ocean's waves, and to make foot
stools of the Islands of every water,
Morgan organized a banking system
that has made America master of the
world's finances, brought Kings to our
cashier's windows, the nations of the
earth to our discount desks and placed
under the industries of this nation a
financial system as solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
There is no study Quite so interest
ing aa progress; no sound so maglo
as the roar of industry and no sight
so inspiring as civilization in action.
A full realization of America's part in
the great events of the world past,
present and future will thrill every
human heart with pride, patriotism
and faith in Republican Institutions.
Through the courtesy of the Agri
cultural and Commercial Press Ser
vice, the readers of this paper will be
permitted to study America; her ag
ricultural, manufacturing and min
eral development, mercantile, bank
ing and transportation systems which
are the wonder of the world. The
first article of the series will deal
with transportation and will appeal

Is your land infested with prairie dogs? Is your range damaged and your crops endangered
with this pest? For thirty-five years I have been killing these pests with a method of my own that
does the work quickly and surely. My outfit will operate in western Nebraska during the coming
season.
Anyone desiring the prairie dogs on their land killed should communicate with me without
delay. -My contract price for the work Is only thirty-five cents per acre and I charge only for the
ground that Is Infected with the dogs. I will sell the rights for this business for this part of Nebras
