TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY
Difference Between Governments of
Greece and Rome and Those of
the Gothlo Tribes.
There was this rudlcal difference be
tween the governments of Greece and
Borne and thoso of the Gothic' trlbea.
La tho former the 'state was every
thing, the individual nothing -t the
vtate was thought to have a perfect
right to tho property, liberty, and
even life, of Its citizens. In tho lat
ter, tho Individual was everything and
the stato comparatively nothing; all
rights wero thought to exist to Inhere
by nature In the Individual; and the
stato could demand nothing from him
lor public use without giving him an
equivalent Here wo find the funtUi
mental principle of civil liberty; that
principle which has be,en so carefully
guarded In tlio English ami in all the
Anglo-American constitutions, nnd
which was so happily and tersely ex
pressed by Jefferson In tho Declaration
of Independence. Our rudo Suxon an
cestors, though under a kingly govern
ment, bad moro real liberty, nnd a
more just appreciation of tho truo dig
nity of man, than had tho polished cit
izens of tho republics of tho Mediter
ranean. Tho legislative nuthorlty was
vested In the wltenage-mote, or assem
bly of wis men. Dexter A. Hawkins.

Whon farmora got to thinking that
thoy aro tho hardest hit of any class
of peoplo thoy may tako heart from
reading tho following announcement
from tho Stato Journal ot Juno 8.
Sinco tho first of January forty im
portant Amorlcan corporations 'with
a capital aggregating $800,000,000
Jinvo suspended tho payment of divi
dends. This moans that In tho 'first
halt Uio present year tlio stockhold
ers in thoso concorns will receive
$17,000,000 less than in tho corres
ponding porlod of last year. Tlio
farinors havo endured staggering loss

fool the pinch of tho hard tlmds. Tn

who rely , upon dividends arc likely

The 1920 corn crop cost, an avorago
of '49 cents a bushel to produco In
ono of tho central counties of tho Btato
according to flguros recently publish
ed by tho College of Agriculture. Tho
avorago cost was figured from rec
ords kopt by mombors of tho county
farm bureau. Tho figure 'Is considered
conservative, as 'the work waB charg
ed for at a comparatively low rato
and no allowance was mado for in
terest on investment Tho yields on
tho farms Btudlod rangod from 35 to
50 bushels to tho noro, and tho cost
Ipor aero varied from $9.82 to $21.70.
The man whoso corn cost but $9.82
used hogs to harvost tho crop, there
by saving tho cost of husking nnd
probably mnrkotlng his corn to bottor
ndvantago. Tho flguros not only shed
light on the cost of producing crops
but thoy contribute Interesting facts
on farm jnanagomont Tho numbor of
farmers hogging down thoir own corn
Is increasing overy year and thoso
figures strengthen tho portion o!
thoso who bellevo the practlco econ
omical. Experiments at tho Nobraska Agrl
cultural Exporimont Station would
seem to lndlcnto that alfalfa produces
moro If cut at tho propor time. Tests
woro mado for total yields per 'season
whon alfalfa was cut twotllroo, four
and five times. It was found' that
tlireo or four cuttings, dopondlng on
the season gave tho largost ylold In
the eastern part of tho stato. Thoro
aro two indoxes for tlio proper cut
ting timo. One is the nppearonco of
tho first bloom nnd tho other the
starting of a now growth at tho crown
and tho lower part of tho old stems.
Cutting sllould begin nt tho appear

also Bhow that getting tho liny Into
tho stack or barn at tho proper timo
means n Bavlng of moro loaves which
form 50 por cent of' the hav. In irood
.drying weather, a half a day in the
