Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 26.—The annual meeting of the Nebraska Press associ ation closed In a "blaze of glory.” Tba attendance was double that of the con vention of 1918. Adam Breede, editor of the Hastings Tribune, told of his experiences as a war correspondent. When Mr. Breede and another newspaper man reached Paris in May, 1918, the morale of the Parisians was ut a very low ebb. "Big Bertha” was shelling the city every day, and inside of a week it was esti mated that 1,000,000 people had left Paris. At tho hotel where the cor respondents stopped, Inside of 10 days the number of guests had been reduced from 600 to 14. They were asked why the Americans did not get In and check the boches. In June the situation be came so desperate that the American soldiers did get in, and they soon gave *. fine account of themselves. Mr. Breede and Ills companion were shelled on their way to the front line trenches and had narrowly escaped Seath. At the front they saw American soldiers burying their dead In the trenches and caring for their wounded. It was 10 days later near the same place visited by Mr. Breede that Floyd Gibbons, a war correspondent, went Into a battle, was severely wounded and lost an eye. Mr. Breedo said that the American soldiers fought like vet erans. Print Paper Situation. I. W. Carpenter, president of th« Carpenter Paper Company of Omaha In an address on the paper situation said that in Ills opinion It will be a long time before print paper or anj other kind of paper will drop to tilt low prices ouoted before the war. He felt sure that labor will not wllllnglj submit to a reduction In wages, and ht pointed out how much labor figured In the raw and the finished product The extremely high price of macliinerj was another factor. He said that tlia market will be held steady by the in creased demand for paper In Europe am] this would tend to stabilize prices Before adjournment, the new execu tive committee met O. O. Buck, of the Harvard Courier, was appointed field secretary to succeed Clark Perkins, re signed. C. B. Cass. Ravenna; H. M Davis, Ord, and O.

S. Foxworthy Omaha, and Arthur Thomas, Omaha '"Up summer meeting will be ai tiering. James Lawrence, city editor of thi Lincoln Star, warned the newspapei men that they must be on their guard, to protect the Americanization pro gram. Mr. Lawrence said that the ad vocates of the teaching of foreign language In the common schools wil not lay down and in two or three years they are likely to begin theli propaganda. He thought that If any one had attempted to Insist that Eng lish should be substituted for foreign languages In the parochial and private schools he or she would have received rough treatment and might ever,, have been mobbed. He nsked the editors tt back up the work of the state legis lature. ~«— NORFOLK WOMEN TO DEMAND RECOGNITION Norfolk, Neb., Feb. 26.—Tired of in definite political programs, organized Norfolk women voters have served no tice on republican and democratic party leaders that they are having 3 hard time holding their members ir check and unless the party leaden bring out acceptable mayoralty candi dates to be veyjeed on at the spring election, they will form n party o: their own and put their entire strengtl behind a candidate of their own se lection.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 24.—-The state railway commission has refused to act as arbiter and has referred protest to the court in a telephone row In Cedar county, of an unusual character. Thirteen of 21 members of a mutual company, whose lines extend out of Wynot are Germans. One of the Amer ican stockholders was a member of the county council of defense, and during the war he forced the Germans to cease their ordinary practice of using the German language over the tele phone. Now that the war had ended the Germans have gone back to its use. This has caused a row, and now the Germans propose to divide the line, put all the Americans on one lino and themselves on the others. This Involves the building of an extensive pole line, and they have told the Americans that this Is a country where the majority rules, and as they have a majority of the company stock they propose to make the company pay for it, because the Americans on the line won't let them talk German when they please.

FANCY PRICES FOR NEBRASKA RACE STOCK Fremont, Neb.. Feb. 22.—Thomas W. Murpliy, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. world's leading relnsman, was a guert yester day of Dick Ronin, who is secretary of the Nebraska. Speed Association. Mur phy made purchases of two horses dur ing his stay in Nebraska. He bought Dr. Nick, 5-year-old, from Shlntock Bros., of West Point, and Mariondale from Dr. McNally, of Bellwood. Both are Archdale colts. Dr. Nick brought $10 000 and Mariondale $5,000.

He leads all the drivers in tiie county in number of races and purses won in a given time. his fourtli Hupmobile. His first Hupp was a Uttle model 20. and he has drii en one of every model since." “Despite the depth of feeling I have in these matters. 1 am not prepared to ! say that the German rjiee is beyond re- i demptlon, that it is not our duty to i endeavor to build up that people to the decency of membership in the League of Nations. There is perhaps .one step out standing today In their progress in that direction more lacking than any other, and that is total abstinence from any expression of regret. If tiie 70,600,000 of Germans were to sh»d the tears of Niobo for tiie next 1,000 years, they could not wash away the human misery for which they have been responsible in Belgium and northern France, alone," says Ha ■•c.n vet. J Training Little Children~) Wise Motherhood With Patience and Assurance Guides the True Self of the Child—Such Motherhood Is Joy, Not Drudgery. Bugfurtlona for Mother# !##ued by th# United State# Bureau of Education, Washington. D. C., and the National Kindergarten Aasoclatlon. t Weet 40th Street, New York. A MOTHER who had taken a course in kindergarten work made a call at the school where she had studied. "I cannot tell you of what valuo my training has been, but 1 wish I could have more," she cried wist I fully. "The problems a mother has 1 to meet are so many. For instance, my little girl has long, curly hair, and when I take her to the shops the clerks comment upon It before her. I fear she Is becoming very vain. Only • tho other day she said, as she posed before the mirror: ‘I HAVE pretty hair, mama!' ” "What did you say?” asked the kin dergarten training teacher. I HI replied as calmly as I could: It looks very well when you keep it NEATRY COMBED.' " [ This unswer showed that the mother ! had grasped the core of Froebel's idea when he wrote: "Mother, let your be havior be such that your child may early learn to realize that your ap proval is given not to his small, visi ble person, but to his true self. • * • Whether tho child strives for being, or appearance, for what Is temporal or eternal, rests upon tho power of the mother to guide his aepi [ ration. • • • That the bond be tween mother and child may not he merely a physical one, she must be a mother not only In feeltng, but with Insight which assures deliberate deeds." Such a mother finds no drudgery in her task. Rather has she the feeling of the artist, for joy is her ruling mo tive, not Joy in selfish possession, but Joy In perceiving growth and attaining desirable achievements. She Is ready to pause for a song on the way, Is not Impatient at the length of tho journey and, cheerfully follow ing the long zigzags of the steps hewed by Nature's own slowly un folding methods, she guides the child up the path of the mountain of life. Wise Is the patient care of this mothw guide, knowing no fear, even whei the child errs, for has not the grea' Goethe told us that although man has aspiration lie cannot but err? Has not the newer poct-dramatlst, Ibsen, for all his grave sense of human cul pability, shown us Solveig, the mother, waiting at the cross-roads till Peer Gynt learns that he has chosen the wrong path, patient through all the years for him to come to her in this old age to purge his soul of dross and fill it with the tr/th? “Where was I?” he asks as he kneels before her, dazed by his sense of fail ure, this man rich in world’s success, but barren Jn things of the soul. “Where was I as myself, the whole man, the true man?” "In my faith, in my hope, in my love." answered the eternal woman, undaunted in her belief In the final outcome. “The boy lias been resting on hla mother’s lap. They two have been playing all the life day long. « The boy has been lying close to my breast, All the life day long. The boy has been lying close to my heart All the life day long. I will cradle you, I will watch over you.” “Wife, mother, sister art thou,” an swered the newly-inspired Peer, see ing her for the first time as she was. the woman not of flesh alone, nor'of intellect nor of this world, but the spiritual mother of the race. What mother is there who does not long for this high role of motherhood to her child’s soul? Please pass this article on to a friend and thus holp Uncle Sam reach all the mothers of the country. i (National Crop Imprcvement Service.) THE HEN should he our national emblem instead of the eagle. She the most patriotic citizen, we have, furnishing a large portion of our food and revenue. This, in spite of all the abuse which wo heap upon her. We take little care of her and let her hustle for her own living. This is the real cause why eggs and fried chicken are high. The cost of feed is not the reason why so many poultry men fall. On a proper diet a broiler can be raised to weigh one and a quar ter pounds in six weeks which, in al most any market, will bring a dollar or more. In eight months a properly fed and bred capon will weigh twelve and a half pounds and yet the aver age is probably less than half. To succeed in poultry, you must cull out your unprofitable birds and feed the survivors for eggs nnd meat. The most successful poultrywea do not at tempt to raise their own feed, but will buy by-product feeds which have been scientifically blended by long expert cnce. These feeds contain what the chicken needs, preventing overfeeding or undernourishment of any of the necessary nutrients. In no other Industry has there been so much literature written. Every poultry-feed manufacturer issues a hand-hook which, if faithfully fol lowed, will not fall to bring results. Every agricultural college and the U. S. Government can give you all the necessary information. Keep dry mash feed always before them in a protected vessel, giving scratch feed only n short time before they go to roost. Suburbanites and those who havei limited space can successfully raise chickens If they will follow the rules and buy the proper feeds. A hen is an egg-making machine and if fed prop erly she will grind out eggs without fall. The trouble with must of us is that we are either too lazy or we want to get something for nothing and wo allow poor Biddy to shift for herself. The Cost. From the North American Review. The war cost us approximately 66,000 men killed and 150,000 wounded and miss ing; lighter losses by far than even little Belgium or Serbia suffered. Great Brit ain’s casualties were more than 30 times as great as ours—3,049,991, of whom 66S, 666 were killed outright. French casual ties were 2,719,642, of whom 569,612 were killed. The losses of Germany are still largely a matter of estimate. Well in formed and conservative reckoning puts the total In killed, wounded and prison ers at nearly, if not quite, 7,000,000, of whom at least 1,800,000 were killed. The money'east‘of the war to all the bellig erents has thus far been approximately 1200,000,000,000, or 50 times that of our civil war. Of this cost, probably one fclghth has fallen upon the United States, and by the time tho treaty of peace Is signed and all our troops are brought back home, our expense account will probably equal 330,000,000,000. A stupendous eost, that. In life and treasure; from one point of view to gratify the Insane ambition of a erim Inal paranoiac, from another to abolish the fiction of ’’divine right" and to con firm forever the rights of man. Are they oonflrmed forever? \V« shall sec what j answer the peace conference essays to make to that question. "Go forth, my ; son, and see with what wisdom the world applies Its greatest and its costliest lesson." Italian Sentiment. From the New York Times. The actual merits of either side of the Italian-Jugo-Slav controversy have be come pretty well obscured in the last few months, by the feelings roused in tile two nations through the revival of ancient grievances and the creation of new ones. It Is regrettable that what was often no more than tactlessness could drive great peoples toward a state of mind which tends to continno international enmity, but It has happened before and else where; and we can only recognize that it haa happened again, and (hat efforts to obtain a reasonable and lasting settle ment of the Adriatic question must, as a matter of method ut least, take accoun' of the feelings eo aroused. There is an Indication of the grounds for suspicion of the Jugo-Slavs, and for resentment at support In other countries of the Jugo slav cause, which is felt very generally by Italian liberals. Among the Jugo-Slavs there are also extremists not amenable to argument: there are also moderate men who have had their sus picions of Italy roused by errors c-n the other side. When the world note under stands the nature snd character cf what may be called the irreducible minimum of nationalist sentiment, the feeling of those man who want lutcrnrjtii-r.ai Justice but are afraid to trust the other party to this particular controversy, it will lie easier to lay before the world the unreasonable demands of the imperialists of both sides, to show their weaknesses, and to arrive at some agreement, Gold Premium In London. From the Brooklyn Eagle. Greed for gold has reached such a stage In London that Scotland Yard has organ ized a special department to check illegal trafficking in British sovereigns. Gold coins of the United States are also at a premium, a $5 gold piece bringing $5.60 if sold to a Jeweler there. A sovereign in value and usage corresponds to the American $5 gold piece. With gold at a premium, the supply rationed and the demand for jewelry ab normal, because of high wages paid munition and other factory workers, the temptation of Jewelers to use gold coins In their work has become greater than ever. But little gold reaches the banks of England In the ordinary course of busi ness. Because of the scarcity of gold in circulation an individual tendering sov ereigns is likely to be looked on with suspicion unless he has been identified. Knew Why. From Everybody's Magazine. The following story is an illustration of the unfailing humor of the Yankee sol diers in tlie trenches: Bill, from the Bowery, bustly engaged In hunting "cooties.” says to his com-, pan ion in misery: "Say, 1 knows now why cat guy Napoleon always had his picter took wid his hand In de front of his shill!” - ^ »— ■■■■’■ —-— 44 4 444444 4 4 ♦■+♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ 4 T 4 LiPE A JOURNEY. 4 X - -4 4 From the Near East. 4 4 Vau's life is like the Journey 4 4 of a man \v ho. burdened with a 4 4 heavy load, has a long way to 4 4 travel.

Fertile Soil on Which Can Be Pro. duced Record Crops Offered to Set , tiers at Prices Attractive to Farm Seekers. In !he early months of 191!) there was a demand for farm lands in West ern Canada, the greatest that lias evei been in the history of th^ country. This despite the fact that farm lands have Increased in price, as the value of the farm product has increased and the virility and productive value o! Western Canada farm lands have come more and more into evidence. Farm ing there is no longer an experiment. Good crops can be grown in all locali ties,- some probably a little more fa vorable than others, but on the whole a good—more than good—general av erage. Land elsewhere on the conti nent Is used for the developing of one hundred and twenty dollar steers, thirly-five dollar hogs, two dollar and twenty cent wheat and eighty-five cent oats, and its price is anywhere from one hundred and fifty to three hundred dollars an acre. Western Canada land sells at from twenty to forty dollars an acre, and the farmer cultivating it gets one hundred and twenty-five dollars for his steer, thirty five dollars for his hog, two dollars and twenty cents for Ids wheat, and eighty-five cents for his oats. And he can grow corn, too, bat Western Can ada Is saying no more about it than North Dakota did fifteen years ago, when it was an experiment there, and see ..what North Dakota is doing to day. The prediction is that in iess than a decade corn will be grown suc cessfully in all parts of Western Can ada. It is, therefore, easy to account for the Increased demand for West ern Canada lands. The war is ended, and the food that the American and Canadian farmer sent across to the soldier, holding up his strength and maintaining his vitality, won the war. No! It was just, a factor in winning it, as was the soldier of Italy, of France, of Belgium, of Great Britain, of Canada and of the United States. An important factor, nevertheless. People generally have begun to real ize what food means, means to every body—and it Is grown on the farm. So people today want farm Innds, and they want those that are good. The great, wide, open stretches of wonder fully productive soil of Western Can ada are the chief attraction of the land seekers of today, and It will be so tomorrow, and of all days, until these vacant Inviting acres are brought Into fruition by tlie hand of man and the multiplied effort of steam and gas oline power, to the influence and op eration of which these lands present such a splendid opportunity. The pulse of today’s desire to secure farm lands may be seen to beat in the columns of the local newspaper, re cording sales of many tracts of lands, ranging from ICO to 1,200 acres. A Itegina (Snsk.) paper says, “In farm lands there Is so brisk a business be ing done that It might be considered a boom.” Another paper reports the sale of a section of raw prairie seven miles east of Itegina for $35 an acre, nnd 200 acres at $50 an acre. One real-estate firm handled In three weeks’ time over 3,500 acres of farm lauds, the turnover being upward of $100,000. An improved farm near Re gina changed hands at $47 an acre. “For the first* time in the history of tJio Muosejaw district farm land has been sold for $100 an acre, when J. S. Cameron of Victoria, 15, C., sold half a section, known as the Lett farm, to John Logan. The farm was bought a year ago for $S5 an acre and is locat ed three miles from the city. It Is highly improved and has fine build ings.” An extract from a loenl paper says: “The movement of farm Wnds is open ing-up well this season and there is every indication that a large area of prairie property will be turned over during the months intervening before seedtime. “The price received for farm lands in each Instance Is considered as good, particularly for unimproved row prai rie. and shows a considerable improve ment on prices for similar properties sold during the years of the war.”— Advertisement.
