Re member '-ry little helps, in any business. :o: Another good soaking rain may Indp oul tin corn crop wonderful ly, but the ote crop is what is worrying the politicians. :o: Y'ii can't travel very far in any direct ion without meeting a candidate for congress or gover nor. They are "shelling the w .,!." :o : Metcalfe is reported to hae been cry optimistic, as he de parted from Washington for Ne braska. I lid ou ever sec Met w hen he wasn't optimistic? :o: lb-ports from all parts of the country indicate that the corn crop will l.. away ahoe the aver age. It takes more than a few bugs and worms to down "King Corn" in Nebraska. :o: Mr. Jomvs appears to hae been as ignorant of his vote as a re forming director of Ihe Harvester company as to who his associates on the board wore. :o :- Huei la did not pet much chance to execute anbody before he skipped oul. And the constitu tionalists are greatly disappoint ed that they did not get an oppor tunity to siring" him up before he got safely out of Mexico. :o: It is just as well to remember that some men advocate things in Ihe heat of a campaign that they would not think of voting for if I hey were in oljice. Know the man before giving great weight to a campaign promise. :o : When you come to think of it, the preliminaries to becomeacan didale under present conditions, and the lime spent and expense incurred in seeurin the office nought and then the possibility of the other fellow getting it, inakes olliee-seeking a very un attractive proposition to say the Ieyj;io the.? man who has any business to look after. RURAL CREDITS. Congress will not enact any ru ral credit laws this session and in consequence there has been started a movement toward sup plying credit to the agricultural interests under the laws as they are. A company has be,en organ ized under the laws of Maryland, called the "American Rural Cred it Association," and an effort is being- made to have its general oJlices located in Omaha. The plan follows very closely those of Europe. It is proposed to make long time loans at live per cent. The average rate paid by farmers at the present time, including renewals and commis sions, is estimated at 8j per cent. The profit of such a concern lies in investing the yearly payment on loans. 11 a man norrows 1,000 for say twenty-one years, and pays 8u annually, S0 of that payment is on the principal and $50 for interest the first year. That $30 is reinvested year after year and the income from that is the profits of the company. The interest grows less year by year until the last year the borrower has only .40, cents to pay, the re mainder of the $8o being applied on principal. ' ' ' ' f That is what is called "amor tization." It is in that principle that lies the possibility of live per cent money for the American far mer and al the same time the ac cumulation of an immense amount of loanable money. France has been following it for a huu- Jred years, and France always has any amount of money to loan, to foreign stales or corporations. The other day a government loan was offered, to pay for the extra expense caused by the three years' service in the army instead of two years as heretofore, and the peo ple subscribed for it sixty times over in less than three hours after the offices were opened. It will only take a little think ing for any farmer to fully under stand the system and it is perfect ly sound if properly managed. World-Herald. :o:- Democrats do not believe in steam roller methods, and they are not standing for them, either not in Nebraska. Mark that, will you? :o: It is believed in Lincoln by a large number of republicans that not only will Matt Gering be nominated, but that he will carry Lancaster county. :o: There is so much virtue in genuine reform, but sadly true that most so-called reformers employ their wits to extoll them selves and boost themselves into ollice. :o: At the meeting of the demo cratic county central committee in Weeping Water Saturday the fact tliat the hospitable village of Klmwood extends a cordial invita tion for the democrats to come there with their convention should not be overlooked. They are ready and willing to lake care of the boys in line shape. :o: One of the meanest things that the English suffragettes have done is to try to burn the old home of Robert Burns. If anything should be held sacred by the peo ple who are struggling for human rights, it is the memory of The great Scotch poet the man whose voice still rings for true human ity, for the broader views of mauV duty to his fellowman. We shall soon see what hap. pens to Jones. :o: Wheat continues to climb, due to the report of black rust. :or Huerta is now fleeing from his country for his country's good. :o: King Corn has quite a start in the annual race with Jack Frost. r:o: Some people say perpetual mo tion is impossible, but there's the Mexican revolution. :o:- Even the most radical Kansas candidate docs not dare propose a gross production on wheat. :o: Mr. Bryan says that Roosevelt will not. weaken Wilson, but will add to the gaiety of the cam paign. :o: The most popular candidate right now is one who will adopt as his campaign slogan, "Swat the Lie." :o: Scientists says Eve did not realize that she lacked clothing Well, neither do the women of to- day. :o: The riders are all up and tin races have begun in earnest Here's to you, boys, and may the swiftest horse win. :o: The potato crop is said to be immense in the sandhill country. Good! When potatoes are plentiful we are all right. :o: The picnic of the Burlington employes at Capital Beach Tues- lay was a record-breaker. And the boys enjoyed the lime of their ives. -:o: The writer, by accident, was compelled to lay over at Omaha ast Tuesday morning, in an effort to make a quick trip to Green wood, and we were not at all sorry, for it gave us an excellent chance to pay a long promised visit to our ood friend, Henry R. Gering. We went immediately to his wholesale drug house and he was as glad to see us as some long lost, -friend. Well, .after a few moments talk, le stepped to the 'phone and ordered a car. After a few mom ents slop at a hospital, we started out to see Omaha as we have never seen it Itefore. e were Eikeu through the beautiful resi ence part of the city and then through the several beautiful arks, and we were a hundred times repaid for the time it took. t would take an abler writer than ourself to describe the beautiful cenery and the many objects of interest. They cover thousands of acres and are well taken care of. We had visited Omaha at various times since 187-', and it was a surprise to us to note the unprecedented growth of the pride city of Nebraska since that date. It has come to the front with considerable rapidity, and it would make any Nebraskan s heart cap with joy to note the evidences of prosperity in every section in passing over the city. There are no finer parks anywhere, and as to line residences and drives there is no city on earth of the same size that can excel the metropolis of Nebraska. While Mr. Gering and the writer have been personal friends for the past twelve years, and we feel a deep pride away down in our heart that we have always retained this friendship, as old age comes on apace we never expect to sec the clay that will change our views in regard to lenry It. Gering, the gentleman with a heart that is ever expand ing to his true and staunch riends. We enjoyed our trip over Omaha, and we feel great pride in returning our heartfelt hanks to Mr. Gering for this pleasure trip. Mr. Gering is pros pering in Omaha and is proving liniself quite an acquisition to he business interests of that city. FORGET IT WHY, OF COURSE There is a lot being said now adays about the weather, but no body' seems to be doing much toward putting on the lid or turn ing off the draught. It fairly makes one boil to try to follow all the hot weather advice that i given by sweltering human beings who know how to keep cool, but who continue to suffocate with heat just to keep company with their friends. We have often no iiced the fellow who is uncom monly free with hot weather rem edies is usually the fellow who hunts the shade and who fumes and frets like a safety valve try ing to hold down a threatening head of steam. And we have also noticed that the fellow who tries the hardest to keep cool in hot weather is the worst disappointed man in town. The truth of the matter is, that we gel hot and uffer from the heat in hot weath er, whether we will or not, and whether we go to church or go fishing on the Sabbath day. But suffering from the heat is largely in proportion to our efforts to keep cool. We noticed during tin past week that the men who were working under the broiling sun were not complaining nan so much about the heat as were the loafers who were looking on from the shady side of the street. Tin most comfortable man is the man who is too busy to mind the in conveniences that he can not con trol or prevent, and the most un comfortable man is the fellow whoso chief occupation is to complain and who takes it upon himself to do the suffering for the world. The fellows who "take n" most about the disagreeable hing that comes whether or no, e it weather or high water, do the least toward mending matters. Howling about hot weather does just about as much good as wish ing over your right shoulder at the new moon, and pays about the same. Hot weather is one among Ihe thousand and one unpleasant things that ihe Almighty has in dicted upon mankind some to ielp and some to hurt. We are peaking especially of hot wealh r right now, because hot weather s (he thing that hurls the worst thee days. However disagreeable some of these afllictiotis may be they come in spite of us. In win ter we suffer from the cold, and all the year 'round we suffer from dekness, from want, from acci dents and from death. These be the common lot of man, and com- dainiug about them is but aggra vating our troubles. Every hu man being has troubles enough of lis own, and it is a patient soul indeed who linds pleasure in lis tening to the troubles of another. When the weather is hot as blazes we all get hot together and all uffer together, and the more we lowi about the heat the holler we get. Everybody admires the fat man who can sweat and swelter in the heat and still be able to smile, and nobody likes the skin ny man who swears when he sweats and who clabbers his milk of human kindness every lime the merrurv nears the top of the lube. f we were called upon to give a piece of hot weather advice, we should edge over toward the door. and then tell everybody to mind his own business and slop nocking on Ihe weather man. Ihe weather man has been on the job for a long lime and probably knows what is best. , . :0: .

Notwithstanding (jreeiiwood has had her share of disastrous con llagratious, they put up better and more substantial buildings in the place of those destroyed. They are a determined class of citizens, and thrift and prosper ity can be seen in every direction. One thing that is badly needed in (Jreeiiwood is a good hotel. Since the old hotel was destroyed by lire they have none now at all. There is not a town in the stale that possesses so many beautiful resi dences and they are kept up in line shape. One of these days, and not far distant either, Green wood will start lo boom, and it will forge right to the front as one of the best trading points in eastern Nebraska. They have tho country around to support a good town, and the people pos sess the inclination to make it so. :o: Bucklen's Arnica Salve for Cuts, Burns, Sores. Mr. E. S. Loper, Marilla, N.
