to
The coming farmers' institute which
convenes at this place Monday and
Tuesday, February 3 and 4, promises
great things for the farmers of this
community. The experiences of the
people who are employed by the state
to seach out and tabulate the results
obtained from various methods of pro
cedure, relative to the rearing of dom
estic stock of all kinds, their care in
both health and sickness, and the pro
per construction of buildings for their
housing, as well as the better ways of
the selection and propagation of seeds
for farm crops, will be discussed.
The institute will open Monday after
noon at 2:00 with an address on the
arrangement and construction of farm
buildings by D. I. Ashburn of Gibbon,
Nebraska, who is well qualified to give
the best plans for construction and ven
tilation. He will speak for an hour and
time will be given for questions where
something is not understood. This will
be followed by an address by Mrs.
Ashburn, whose subject will be "The
Handy Kitchen," directed to the farm
ers' wives,, as well as the farmers. In
the evening Mrs. Ashburn will again
address the meeting on "How to Make
Women's Work Easier," a subject
which should interest all. The evening !
session begins at 7:30. At 8:30 Prof, j
Ashburn will talk about "Boys and j
iris of American Homes," which will i
Carrying Money
in any considerable amount is
dangerous. Don't flatter your
self that your habit of doing so
is unnoticed. Thieves make it
their business to find out such
things. Better be on the safe
side and deposit your money in
Bank of Cass County. The
sooner you do so the better. An
ounce of pre ention is better than
a pound of regret.

conclude the first day's session.
Tuesday S. R. McKelvie of Lincoln
will deliver an address on "Pork Pro
duction," from 11:00 o'clock until the
noon hour. In the afternoon the ses
sion will convene a half hour earlier,
which time will be devoted to a busi
ness meeting.
At 2:00 o'clock Prof. F. W. Card of
Sylvania, Pennsylvania, will address
the meeting on "Fundamental Factors
of Soil Fertility," a subject of the ut
most importance to the farmer, for
with the changing years, much is taken
from the soil that unless it be kept up
must eventually impoverish it materi
ally. This is a lecture all should hear,
but do not miss a single one.
At 30 Prof. McKelvie will talk on
"Care of Pure Bred Stock." The even
ing and closing session, which will con
vene at 7:30, Prof. McKelvie will speak
on "Nebraska Farming," which should
draw an immense crowd, as it is of
vital interest to every farmer.
At 8:30 Prof. Card will make the
closing address on "Opportunities for
Young Men and Women in Agriculture."
With the array of talent and the sub
jects discussed, no one can afford to
miss these meetings who can possibly
arrange to be present. Let us all get
out and get the benefit which the state
has designed we should receive from
this program.
Why We Did Nol Publish.
Monday evening's Lincoln News con
tained a lengthy sensational article in
reference to a young man reared in this
city, and whose parents have resided
here for many years, and are con
sidered excellent people. We read the
article over several times in order to get
our consent to publish the same in full,
and finally came to the conclusion not
to do so on account of the worry and
grief the young man had already caused
his parents. The article in question
seems to have been a special from Des
Moines, Iowa, to the Lincoln News, and
reproduced by its namesake in this city
city in its entirety. The man recently
married a young lady, also reared here,
and has always been the mission of the
Journal, instead of causing further grief
to the troubled to alleviate, as much as
possible, the wrongs done by wayward
youth, by the suppression of such news
as would be inclined to increase their al
ready almost unbearable sorrow .
Guy Hodges Improving.
t Guy A. Hodges, who was so severely
I injured some time since by the falling
of the bent, which was being placed
i for false work for use of pile driver at
j Platte river bridge, is making some
j progress towards recovery, though
! Slow.
A. B. Taylor Very Sick
Uncle Andy lay lor is reported very
! sick and confined to his home. His son
j Will came in last evening from Okla
; homa, and is visiting here. It is hoped
i that Mr. Taylor may soon improve.

That the Currency Commission of the
American Bankers' Association has for
mally decided to oppose both the Aldrich
and the Fowler currency bills is not in
the least surprising. Neither of these
bills embodies the essential principle of
the legislation recommended by the
bankers's commission, which is earnest
ly committed on an unhampered elastic
currency resting on an asset basis.
It is unfortunate there should be dif
ferences of judgment between those
who are actually engaged in banking
operations and the legislators who have
the power of making laws, but if this
disagreement of view shall in the end
result in a failure of legislation by the
present Congress there will at least be
occasion for consolation in the fact that
we are obviously not yet wise enough
to advise the right kind of currency law.
Additional consolation may be had from
the reAection that it is not likely the
near future will develop any great need
for an increased volume of money. The
lessons of the past do not forecast a
new era of business activity and infla
tion as the immediate reault following
a three months' period of panic.
With all the gold that was brought
into this country while the monetary
stringency lasted, it is altogether cer
tain that the amount of money in circu
lation in the United States is fully
enough now to meet all present com
mercial needs. The New York banks
held nearly twenty-tree millions of cash
in excess of legal requirements at the
close of the last week, and that may be
accepted as evidence that there is once
more an easy money situation through
out the country, as the banks in small
towns were as a rule in good shape
throughout the time cash payments
were suspended.
Nobody has the data to indicate ex
actly how much money per capita is in
circulation today. The amount theore
tically in actual circulation June 30,
1907, was estimated by the Director of

Found the Boiler.
Last Sunday while crossing the river
to the Speck Island, Martin McDaniel
and George Goodnough, found sticking
out of the ice the boiler of the old
ferry boat the Mary McGee, which
sank over forty years ago. The boiler
was in a good state of preservation
considering the time in has lain in the
water. A portion of the hull of the
boat remains and can be seenr
the Mint to be $33.86 per capita, but at
the same time there was $3.92 per cap
ita locked up in the Treasury vaults.
The panic forced the Government to un
loose its hoard, but earlier than this
fear-oppressed innividuals started fran
tically to stock private hoards that
quickly exceeded in volume the public
hoard held by Treasury. At this par
ticular time there is so much evidence
of recovered confidence that the banks
and trust companies have already got
back a good deal of the money deposi
tors took away from them, while they
have as yet returned to the Treasury a
relatively small proportion of the in
crease of public deposits they secured
during the panic.
It is safe to say that the net result of
the transactions of the last three
months is such an increase in the volume
of money theoretically in circulation
that the per capita average is higher to
day than it ever was before In the his
tory of this country or of any other
country of importance in the whole
world. There has been an influx of
gold, an inflation of national bank circu
lation, a draining of idle money from
the National Treasury, and now the
private hoards. If we could get a per
capita statement of the money available
for use today it would undoubtedly de
light the financial wiseacres who talk
glibly of per capita figures.
France, of all the important com
mercial countries, is the only one in
which the per capita money has hereto
fore equaled that of the United States
the amount January 1, 1906, being
stated as $39.94. It is reasonably cer
tain, therefore, we could show a higher
per capita average than this on the
basis of today's conditions, but any un
duly large volume will soon be corrected
by an export of gold, which can be
looked for in the early future if public
confidence is sustained. These com
mercial factors constantly complicate
the problem by modifying the actua
average of money per capita to a de
gree no data of any statistician can
illustrate, but the enduring law of sup
ply and demand will take care of us for
a time at least while the lawmakers are
wrangling about a new currency law.

ing, Burial Made

Don't Care.
Some people never do care. They are
not interested in anything; they even
neglect to - take care of themselves.
Nothing can arouse them from their in
dolence, not even sickness. It is indeed
incredible that there are persons suf
fering from maladies of the stomach,
although knowing that Triner's Ameri
can Elixir of Bitter Wine is the best
remedy in all such cases. They keep on
postponing until it is too late. Treat
the first symptoms, the loss of appetite
and of the strength, and you will pre
vent much suffering. It is true that
these two symptoms often disappear
without any treatment, but they may
be the forerunners of a grave sickness.
Why should we run such a risk, having
at hand a remedy which is always re-
iable. It is good for every stomach j
and should be in every household as the
first aid in case of sickness. Use it
whenever your digestion is not what it
should be or when you do not feel well
when your tongue is coated, your eyes
dull, your lips rough, your skin dry. ;It
will help you. At drug stores. Jos.
