The annual Race Meet opened very auspiciously yesterday a record break ing crowd for a first day being upon the ground to witness tne races ami they were treated to some of the best racing ever seen In this portion of Nebraska. The races upon the program yester day were the 2:30 trot and the 2:18 pace and the horses in both races were so evenly matched that it took five heats to decide each race. In the 2:30 trot DePacy won the first two heats, but was closely pushed in both by Chas. Voorhees and Sunny Jim. He lost the next two heats but managed to win the fifth heat and the race. The 2:18 pace was another that kept the lovers of good, close racing upon their toes all the time. There were five starters in this race. Nor mle King went out and took the first heat, after being hard pushed most or the way around by Earthquake and the Major.

Walt Mason: The country editor has to make much of the news he writes. The commercial club, the church, the base ball team, the law and order league, the college, the country central committee, the whist club and the good roads movement all must feel the lutluence of his guiding hand. He must be in everything and run errands for every one, send out the circulars, do the town song for harmony sake and bold the sack. He must be guide, philospher and friend to those iu trouble, and be mentor and adraonlsber to those who are about to get into trouble. The town drunkard, the preacher, the States man, the soolal climber, the real estate boomer, the man from the grand lodge who is about to exem plify the new work, the broken soldier kindly bade to stay, the cap tain of industry and the girl with the fatherless baby all come to him to help them in their troubles. He is the town confesser, the town boomer and the town goat, doormat, rock of refuge errand boy and the vicarious sacrifice. The editor is (he only creature in all the wide animal king dom that needs the wings of a dove, the strength of a lion, tbe protective odor of the skunk, the smooth, crawl ing belly of tiie worm of the dust and the aspiration of a Hod. _m i Leaves in the Editor’s Book. Albion News: Tbe editor who sits in his office and watches the mill grind for a quarter of a century knows well the leveling processes of time. He knows that one by one he will meet nearly every ramlly of tbe com munity as mourners, as happy rela tives of a bride or groom, in the society whirl, in the financial struggle Sickness, the call of distant relatives the death, funeral, obituary, the extra copies for distant relatives—how similar one death is to another, and they occurr almost every day. To the one family it is one of the momentous moments of their lives. It brings the whole world into seemingly different relations with tbe members of that family. The magic hand that pro duces this sad condition touches here and there and with every touch the local paper has to deal. Joyful times comes in the same way and the editor is well informed of It. The public life to him is something of a book that he turns through, knowing prac tically each page before he turns It. only what name will be in the, sad column and what names at tbe feasts are in doubt. The facts are always old, only the names are new. Woodmen to Vote on Rates. A bulletin just Issued from head quarters says that the Modern Wood men of America’ if they ask for it, will have a referendum on tbe new rates adopted by the bead camp, the society’s sovereign legislature body, at Chicago in January, 1912. This may be taken under the terms of the act adopted by the legislature of Illinois In special session last spring. It ap plies to fraternal beneficiary societies of Illinois with a membership of 76,000 or more which have increased rates since January 1,1912, and provides for a referendum on petition of camps or lodges representing ten per cent of the entire membership of tbe society.
