Boys, when you speak of your father
don’t call him the “old man.’’ Of
course you are older now than when
| you were taught to call him “father.”
‘ You are much smarter than you were
then, you are much more manly look
| ing, your clothes fit you better, your
hat has a modern shape and your hair
is combed differently, in short, you are
i “flyer” than you were then. Your
i father has a last year’s coat, a two
> year-old hat and a vest of still older
I pattern. He can’t write such an ele
■ gant note as you can and all that, but
f don’t call him “old man.” Call him
’ “father.” For years he has been
! hustling around to get things to
* gather, he has been held to the thorny
’ path of uphill industry, and the bright
. est half of his life has gone from him
• forever. He loves you though he goes
l along without saying much about it,
therefore be not so ungrateflul. 4

Rate Conference.
The Nebraska railway commission
will attend a meeting at Omaha next
Saturday to consider the proposed in
crease on grain rates. The com
missions of fifteen states have formed
