It's just as silly to eternally wear rosy glasses as black ones there's a happy medium a broad road of sanity, clear think ing and constructive optimism. i The only thing I hate about having to take a boat ride on the river Styx, is that I can't live to see what human minds, human hands, human eyes, and human efforts will bring out as the centuries roll past. To see the old earth swing again to the glacial period, and then back and ever rolling thru eternity in Its unchanging course, and governed by unchanging laws that lie beyond human sight and comprehension. , Burbank was a keen scientist, a keen thinker, but the greatest thing orcr oaM -was "Vaturp is UHCOn- cerned."

Pollock on Oct. 6th, bought on the South Omaha Market a car load of 33 good quality light white-face spayed heifers total weight 20,870 pounds, an average of 626 pounds per heifer paying $6,75 for same. These heifers were kept on full feed 54 days and on December 6th were shipped to Chicago Market and weighed there 24,130 pounds an aver age of 731 pounds per head and sold for $10.50. j Ground snapped corn and some al falfa hay was fed and allowing one ' peck of ground corn per day per i heifer, which is more than was fed, 1 445 bushel of corn was charged to ! feed account at 60 cents per bushel left a net profit on the 33 heifers after paying all expenses including freight, feed and all handling charges of $716 48. There were 75 hogs In the feed lot with the heifers so no deduction or charge was made for the alfalfa. Very little alfalfa Is used where ground snapped corn i3 fed. These heifers were fed on the Pol lock farm two miles east of Mur ray by George Martin. Mr. Pollock's partner and the splendid profit made Epeaks well for Mr. Martin's ability as a stock feeder.

The man ner of our thoughts is reflected in the prosperity and progress of our city; our schools; our citizenship. Let's think more! Professor Monahan of Fordham University says there is no such a thing as a 100 per cent Englishman, or a 100 per cent American of 100 per cent Frenchman, the only 100 per cent thing he knows is a 100 per 0 cent ass!
