fkrotert has been aroused within the
past few days over the fact that Gov-!
rnor McKelvie'a Nebraska Farmer
lias been endorsed by State Superin-i
tendent John Matzcn as a textbook'
for schools. The republicans defend i
the stunt, and charge that the dom-l
ccrata are trying to make , political .
capital out of it. The Nebraska Farm- J
r is publishing a rural education de
triment, including study of hygiene,'
agriculture, geograpny, domestic sci
ence and nature. The subscription
manager of the governor's paper ob
tained the endorsement of the state
superintendent of the new education
department and the county superin
tendents recommended it to their
teachers and suggested that they use
this department as a textbook in their
Classes.
"Sure I wrote endorsements of the
xwwk being done on these subjects by
th Nebraska Farmer," State Super
intendent Matzen said "I would do
the same for any publication which I
considered helpful to teachers."
It Is pointed out that the Literary
Digest, Woman's Home Companion
Mid numerous other periodicals use
the same methods in interesting teach
ers and children,' in their magazines.
Norris Brown's Ambitions, '
OMAHA Norris Brown, United
tate3 senator from Nebraska, 1907
I9li stated specifically that he
will not be a candidate for the repub
lican nomination for senator next year,
liis name was recently suggested by
an out-state republican. When asked
about the rumor that he has been sug-
Eted for appointment as a federal
ge in case congress creates twen
. ;wo additional judgeships, as pro-
Esed. by pending legislation, Mr.
rown said: "That is different. The
tench is the lawyer's natural profes
sional goal. Every lawyer would be
frlad to be a judge. I am no exception."
Hot Lunches at Schools.
' FRIEND The school board of
Friend again ha3 authorized the serv
ing of hot food to all lunch carriers.
Superintendent Leech reports an av
erage of fifty students taking advan
tage of this provision. The lunch
la nandled by the home-economics and
normal training departments. The
cost of the food, which amounts to 2
cents per day per pupil, is borne by
the district. Friend is the only school
in the county serving lunch, under this
plan.
$200 more to defend us at the next
trial. We didn't have the money and
the county attorney said if Mr. Coon
would plead guilty he would get off
with a small fine and costs.' There
was nothing else to do."
Mrs. Coon cried nenrty all the time
as she talked and N. T. Harmon, sec
retary of the state board of pardons
and paroles, told .the board that for
weeks she had "haunted'' his office in
the interests of her hut band. Gus
Miller, superintendent of the reforma-.
tory, told the board that every cent
Coon made on the road gang this sum
mer went to his wife.
Then, the protest of the Superior
club women against Coon's parole was i
read. I
"We're going to let you have one
more chance, Coon," Lieut. Gov. P. A.
Barrows said, "but we want you to
stay away from superior.

GRAND ISLAND Local police of
ficers and especially F. M. Cashman,
of an Omaha detective bureau, were
much incensed a few days ago in read
ing in the Hastings paper the complete
disclosure of a clue they had to the
gang which committed a daring bur-
glary at Juniata, and, likewise, were
suspected of. the (5,000 burglary at
Loup City. Grand Island police officers,
the article disclosed, had been lying
in wait for the appearance of these
men here having been informed that,
during several nights prior to and be-
tween these separate robbing events,!
the suspected burglars had driven into
Grand island, -he chief of police of
Grand Island lay in wait the greater
part of three nights but the suspects;
failed to appear and the officers nave
no longer any hope of apprehending
them, being convinced that they have
flown to other parts!

restaurant. "This magazine here," he i
said, laying a periodical aside, "con
tains a long article on the best way,

me and the general chuckled, that'
a. good many readers would rather
know the best way to start them."

Bausch was the first Nebraska man to
be arrested following publication of al
