A genuine old-time blizzard visited
us Monday night and putting in best
licks most of Tuesday, slowing up
about 5 o'clock. There were no
trains in or out Tuesday, and up to
Wednesday afternoon the railroads
were blockaded with snow drifts, at
least in this section, when the Union
Pacific was able to get its freight up
from St. Paul. It was necessary for
the Burlington to send a rotary ahead
to clear the cuts which were filled to
overflowing and then some.
There are ways of getting even with
a man besides punching his face.
Mayor Daniels of Ord recently met
Editor Haskell of the Quiz on the
streets and publicly called him a liar.
Haskell refused to fight but went
home, oiled up his poetry machine
and ground out a few stanzas dedi
cated to the mayor. This of course
is not the way they settle little
grievances of this kind down in
Missouri, but it is the Ord way and
appears to satisfy all concerned.—
Burwell Tribune.
The State Board of Agriculture
adopted a recommendation of their
annual meeting, looking toward tiie
forming of non-political, non-sec tarian
home social clubs among the farmers
of each school district in tiie state.
We hope our country readers will
authorize one of their numlier to
send to W. R. Mellor. secretary, Lin
coln, for a plan for the organization
of such a society, whose main object
is to discuss practical scientific farm
ing propositions at seasonable times.
It pays to advertise, whether it is
for the betterment of commerce or
religion, which is proven by the un
precedented interest suddenly devel
oped at the Presbyterian church.
Rev. McEwen. a most excellent minis
ter and gentleman, has shown what
push and energy will do, even in a
church building up. He has installed
most excellent music, aroused the
youth to a real interest and ha* filled
the church morning and evening to
almost a crowded condition where
they enjoy most interesting sermons
by the pastor.—Kearney Democrat.
We do not think that the state
legislature could make a greater hit
with the smaller counties of Nebras
ka than by the repeal of the direct
primary law, but in repealing this law
they should use care and not give us
one that will work even a greater
disadvantage than the existing evil.
The direct primary has been given-a
a fair trial in Nebraska, and it has
been demonstrated that at an ex
pense of about three dollars per vote
nominees can be chosen by the pres
ent primary law. Possibly it may
not be just the thing to go back to
the old convention style of nomina
tions but we believe it would be even
better to do that than to continue to
saddle the expenses connected with
the present primary methods upon
the public. The party in power in
the legislature have the opportunity
to make g6od with all of the smaller
counties of the state if they will but
enact some legislation that will bring
relief from the expense attendant
upon the present primary system.—
Burnell Tribune.
Uncle Peter Jacoby said when lie
called at the Republican office last
week to order his sale bills: “I have
lived in Hamilton county twent\ -eight
years and in that time I have never
been drunk, had a fight or voted any
thing else but a straight republican
ticket.” Mr. Jacoby’s testimony was
not necessary to convey this informa
tion to the people of Hamilton county.
His life lias been so straight up and
down that everybody knew just where
he stood in politics as in everything
else, liis many friends will not be
sorry to read his sale advertising and
learn that lie has decided with his
ample possession of this world's goods,
to quit the strenuous life. But they
will oe disappointed to learn that lie
is thinking seriously of leaving Hamil
ton county and casting his future lot
in Texas where he recently bought
land. Mr. Jacoby has one of the best
herds of Du roc Jerseys and Hereford
cattle in the country and hi3 sale
will unpoubtedly be one of the largest
of the year.—Aurora Republican.

township we have “a chip off the old

CROSS EYES!
are in 9 cases out of 10 the result of Eye-Strain, which if
relieved by glasses :in early life would never cause crossed
eyes.
Preliminary symptoms of Eye troubles that cause crossed
eyes are: Pain in back of eyes; pain in temples, sometimes
running over ears; print jumps after reading for a time.
These are strong symptoms that the eyes will soon cross un
less the eye-strain is removed.

Government Irrigated farms in the Big Horn Basin it will be
too late for him to get one. Will you let his chance go by?
Is this fair to the boy? What will he think of your foresight
when he seeks for land and finds out that you neglected to take
in 1909, almost as a gift, an Uncle Sain irrigated Farm that in
1919 will cost him $150 per acre? Of course, if he has the
price, ail right, but what if he has not?
