There was another good class of candidates initiated. Alli ance lodge has certainly been blessed with Brother H. D. Walker's pres ence, our deputy grand master. He has increased our membership by his efforts with 62 new members while sojourning with us. He has simply rejuvinated this lodge. It has been remarkable to us the way he can ex plain the "Good of the Order." the way that he can write up a candi date, and the way he has gone ofter resident members holding member ship elsewhere to transfer into No. 202 and become active members again. We are meeting every Monday ev ening with a good attendance. We wish to call special attention that our regular meetings are every Mon day evening, with cigars every meet ing night, and our "Draw Box" is bringing out the members who real ize that it is to their interest and pleasure to be there. Brother Walker is in a class by himself when it comes to getting t he members out, and he is in the first class for persistent work, with his modest, sincere, strong arguments for fraternal insurance, in landing a prospective for our grand old order. We regret to m e hi in leave us, he seems to us as a permanent fixture, and we hope to see him aeain in our midst. Our b'j.-t wishes go with our good brother for his success in his new field:;; and the success of our "Great Fraternity," I tie monarch of them all.

The hfty-one cars brought $97,993. , K. Cato Sells. United States com missioner of Indian affairs, supervis ed the sale for the Indians. He said it was first direct benefit the Indians had received from the government policy of using the grazing lands on the reservation for the benefit of the Indians. "All of these cattle were range grazed and grass-fed," he. said. Not a pound of corn or other feed than grass or hay had been given tlivin. Great Western Com. Co.

(Jroh, in Omaha Bee) As the fiftieth anniversary of Ne braska's admission to the Union is being celebrated, let us learn a few interesting facts about our state. Nebraska was the thirty-seventh state. At the election in 1866 the vole for the state constitution was extremely close 3.938 for it, and 3.838 against. President Andrew Johnson did his best to keep us out. Congress pass- t eel tne act ol u.inusslon .luly lh, 11866, but Johnson didn't sign it. In I February, 1867, he again vetoed a similar bill, but it was passed over 'his veto. Which taught "Andy" J that you can't keep a good state out. ' When Nebraska w:is admitted to the Union. Iowa had 'been a state for j twenty years. California for sixteen, Minnesota for eight and Kansas for live years. After the edniis.olon of Nebraska no other state wad admitted for tei.

They do it for safety, economy and quick returns. The Hartford Live Stock Transit Policy protects shippers of live stock, ami is the only company ofTVrinfr a broad policy ensy to understand, clear in its terms, which Rives absolute protec tion npainst loss from hazards of transportation including suffocation, freezing-, trampling, fire, collision, train wreck and every form of killing or injury years; that is, until 1876, when Col orado came in. Thirteen years more elapsed after that until North and South Dakota, Montana and Washington were ad mitted In 1889. Idaho and Wyoming gained state hood in 1890; Utah in 1896; Okla homa In 1907, and New Mexico and Arizona, the youngest in the sister hood of states, in 1912. The territory of Nebraska was or iginally several times the size of the present state. All that area between the Canadian border and the north ern line of Kansas and between the Missouri river and the "summit of the Rocky mountains" was Nebras ka. Thus Nebraska included the pres ent state, tne , nortlieast section of Colorado, part of Idaho, nearly all of .Molilalia and Wyoming, western South Dakota and southwestern North Dakota. The limits of this vast territory were gradually cut down as other territories were formed until it ivulied its present size and shape. Nebraska's area is 77,520 square .nibs. It is bigger than all the New KnMaiid states combined. It is more i! an iuce us large as Indiana, nniir- wice as large as Pennsylvania.

There are only fourteen dates In the Union that are larger. The state extends 415 mlleB from east to west at Its widest point and Is 205 mileB from north to south. "Nebraska" Is an Indian name and means "shallow water." Do you know the great seal of your state? Probably not (unless you belong to the "observation class"). Well, there's a blacksmith at his anvil in the foreground. Far ther back we observe a tree, a steam boat on the river, some sheaves of grain, a train consisting of engine, tender and one car.
