started a tin shop and we think his
prospects for business flattering, as

What Kaiser William and Other
Say of "Booze"
Emperor William, of Germany, addressing the Naval Cadets, as Muer
wick, in 1912, said:
"The service on board ship is now a very heavy one, and to stand it
without overtaxing the human body is most important. The next war and
the next naval battle will make great demands on the nerves, and only those
can respond to these demands to whom the use of alcohol is a strange thing.
In the next naval war, victory will belong to that nation which shows the
smallest consumption of alcohol."
Martin Luther, speaking of ooze," in Germany, said:
"Whoever first brewed beer has prepared a pest for Germany. I have
prayed to God that he would destroy the whole brewing industry. I have
often pronounced a curse on the brewer. All Germany could live on the barley
that is thus spoiled and turned into a curse."
Prof. Max Kassowitz, of the University of Vienna, speaking of booze,
before the war, said :
"Alcoholic drinks cost the German people three and a half times as
much as the army and navy together, more than six times as much as the
total workingmen's insurance, and seven times as much as all their public
s"hools. With the money that is spent in the German Empire in one year
for this deadening substance the national debt could be completely wiped out
and the interest upon it saved for all time."

Hon. Champ Clark, a democrat, speaking of the saloon in 1906, said:
"The saloon is no place for a young man who is ambitious to lead a clean,
successful life.: If he wishes to excel in crime, rob his mental and physical
powers, consort with thugs, blacklegs, prostitutes and thieves, be a disgrace
to his family and a stench to his own nostrils, why I'd advise him to frequent
- saloons. He can learn and be all that in any liquor saloon. In fact, he can
take his post-graduate course without leaving the premises."
President William McKinley, a republican, speaking of the liquor
traffic, said:
"By legalizing the traffic we agree to share with the liquor seller the
responsibility and evil of his business; every man who votes for license be
comes of necessity a partner to the liquor traffic and all its consequences."

Your attention is called to- the fol
lowing facts that on the 29th day-of
June, five or more sturdy farmers
of Cass county, Nebraska, ourselves
included called at the Saunders House,
Plattsmouth, Neb., for our dinner;
not having our coats on we were re
fused permission to enter the dining
room without first getting our coats !
or secondly, we could borrow of them,
which the clerk proffered to us. We
refused to bend to the paper collar
aristocracy, and acknowledge that la
boring men without their coats were
not as good in all respects as any man
with his coat on. I believe it tr he-
the duty of all thinking men to ponder
well on the above facts, before sub
mitting to the requirements of a hotel
run in that way. D. S. DRAPER,

LAND FOR SALE!
Our Greenwood Letter.
Dear Herald: Thinking a few words
e j mm
irom mis section would not come
amiss I concluded to drop you a few
lines. The farmers in this section are
busy gathering their corn and hauling
it to town, where they dispose of it
for a very small sum, viz, 15 cents
per bushel, and it is causing consid
erable grumbling among them.
Greenwood is lively now and the
merchants are doing a 'good business
E. A. Noel and the Ethi-idge boys are
running the two principal stores.
Messrs. Ethridge have built a new
I have some Chase and Deuel
county lands for sale at prices below
the average prices. If you will go
out with me I can convince you that
I am right. Some of as good land
as there is in Chase county at prices
from $10.00 to $22.50 per acre. I
also have a ranch proposition, 3,000
acres, all fenced with four barb
wires 200 acres of good hay land
which will grow fine alfalfa. Pasture
land is rolling hard land with good
grass; two good wells and windmills.
Running water through land. This
can be had for $10.00 per acre. I
think I am in position to save any one
some money for I have been per
sonallv acquainted with the west for
the past fifteen years. I am ready to
go at any time. Any one buying land
of me will get their railroad fares re
funded. There will

During the State Teachers' associa
tion meeting in Omaha, November 8-
11, the State Normal will maintain
headquarters at the Castle hotel, it
is probable that many Peruvians will

A. the students of the normal are col--
ecting books by standard authors to
be sent to the boys on the Mexican
border.
Bulletins are now being distributed
which explain the study center work,
the correspondence courses, and the
hort courses, which will begin No
vember 15. Those interested may re

versary ot tne estatmsnment oi

of the year 2,683 students will have
graduated from this institution, 1,343

first forty-three years, and 1,340 dur
ing the past seven years.
On Wednesday of last week Mr. and
Mrs. Dr. House favored the students
and faculty with a number of vocal
selections, which were very pleasing
to all who heard them.
One of the most interesting foot
ball games ever witnessed m Peru
was played last Friday with Doane
college. The game was a close one
from start to finish. Both teams used
open plays largely. Peru completing
five out of eight attempted forward
pases, and Doane, one out of a pos
sible five. In the third quarter Craig
