T B Ilord of Central City, said to be tiie greatest stock feeder in the world, aod - tideh spasm of righteousness suf fered by the mayor of Kansas City, which may be all right, but coming from the chief chair holder of one of tiie tougiiest cities in the I'nited states, sounds queer. He lias issued an edict barring from the churches and from all other public entertain ments all bazaar affairs. Even the srhing of chances on a piece or em broidery ora boa mthome-made candy at church bazaars is to be stopped. With reference to church raffles, tiie mayor, who goes by tiie very strange and -Dcommun name of Brown, said: • They throw a cloak of righteoufness around gambling. In tnemsehes they are not so bad. but tiie effect is demoralizing They make children U- ieve it is right bo gamble." Hah. -everai times, for the Kansas City citief mogul.

In private life, as in public life I shall stand up for republican policies, for my faith in them lias not weakened I nor has my pride in tiieir achieve ment lessened Again thanking you. 1 remain. Yours truly, K- J. BCRKETT. Hlyo Aden of Hazard, one of the | county supervisors of Sherman coun ty. is getting something of a repu tion as a writer. His article, "A Renter’s View of Farm Tenantry," is given first page yosition in the last number of tiie Nebraska Farmer. It is a very readable article, and w e re gret tiiat its lengtii precludes its re production in these columns. He argues for a system of long-time eases for tiie mutual good of tiie tenant and landlord, as well ;as for tiie permanence of soil fertility. He aaya: -Tiie most deep-rooted ’evil in con nection with tenantry, in Nebraska At least, is tiie one-year system. So far as my experience goes 1 don’t be* - i«vr there is much over 10 per cent of Nebraska farms tiiat have a writ ,ten lease for more than one year at a time. Some have verbal leases for longer, but they won’t stand in law. It is true that many men may for a number of years but it is one year at a time, or -as long as we are both satisfied, which Isa very uncersain pig to Itang on. 1'ntll we can over come. at least to a large extent, the one-year lease 1 cannot see a great deal of improvement ahead: because I do not think any man can do his best on a farm with which he is not acquainted, and on land whose pecu liarities be doesn't understand.” Pa’s Failiag Faculties. Pa paid six dollars for a hat: ma thinks he's lost his mind: It’s lined with silk and one of those brown, softish. wooly kind: He brought it home the other night and kept it on a while: Before she found out what it cost, ma kind of liked its style. But w hen pa told her what he paid she sank down in a chair. And said: "Pa. every day you get more foolish, I declare! ‘1 shouldn't think,' she said, that you would waste your cash like that! Nobody but a fool would pay six dol lars for a hat! The children need new overcoats: their shoes are shabby, too: Sometimes you make it hard for me to keep respectin’ you: Think of the many ways 1 try to save day after day. And here you go and waste the cash in such a foolish way! “If we had millions, 1 should be the last one to complain, But here we live from hand to mouth —it's just a constant strain! 1 must deny myself the things 1 often wish 1 had And then you buy a hat like that— it simply is too bad! Six dollars merely thrown away! It tills me with the blues— Six dollars for a hat! Enough to buy two pairs of shoes!” Pa sat and listened for awhile as though he felt ashamed. And pretty soon he says: "Well, I'll admit 1 should be blamed, Six dollars for a hat's too much: I'll take it back: but sar. How much did that one cost that you brougiit home the other day?” Ma left the room and we could* see a tear roll down her cheek: Site's worried over pa and thinks his mind is gettin' weak. A Modest Request Secretary Mellor of the state board of agriculture will be kept busy for several days if he complies with the polite request of the minister of agriculture of the state of Yucatan.

Woods Hutchinson, who is painting the magazines a lurid red with articles of various kinds and on all health subjects, tiirows several tits to the second on said subjects when lie w rites and lectures. He lias it in for the house fly and in a recent lecture before the National Civic Association: “A fly in the house is as dangerous as a rattlesnake, as filthy as a louse, as disgraceful as a bedbug. The time will come when any modern c'eanly home will feel itself shamed and dis graced by the presence of a fly. and when every householder upon whose premises a brood of flies is detected, will be fined heavily and sent to jail. The fly is a literal "Eye of the Lord" tiecause he is in every place behold ing evil and the good, especially the evil, for be loves to lay eggs in it.” Isn't that simply awful. Mabel? Here is an item of information taken from the Washington Post, which should be given general pub licity: “My congregation coughed this morning. ' said a minister to a phy sician. "1 could hardly make myself I heard it was so annoying.” “Well,” I said the physician, "the next time they cough tell them to press the upper lip just beneath the nose. Pressing the nose in that quarter will stop the most obstinate cougli and by the same token, it will stop a sneeze, too. I'll tell you now to stop the hiccoughs. You press hard on the ciieek right in front of the ear. Those nerves there control the hiccough as money controls politics. You need only press-the nerve will do the rest.” German Evangelical Church Next Sunday. Jan. 1st, there will be services at Loup City at 10:30 a. m. Monday.

It will be observed that they are all young women who had no earning capacity before being prepared for this work. The table gives the name of the teacher, number of montlis of school, monthly salary and total wages per year: Lettie Peugh.9 *45 *405 Lulu McFadden.7 50 350 Maggie McFadden.7 40 280 Ada Smith .7 4o 315 Bessie Smith.8 45 360 Emma Rowe.9 45 405 Klea McNulty.9 45 450 Arlie Corning.7 50 350 Elina Corning.6 40 240 Flora Ohlsen.8 45 360 Olive McCray.9 45 405 I Cora Burns.8 45 360 Lizzie Leatherman.8 45 360 Laura Camp .8 45 360 Mada Parlett.7 45 315 Hazel Tiffany.7 45 315 Yelva Fross.7 45 315 In addition to the above earnings of the students, the school itself earns *350 per year from the state for preparing the young women for teach ers and what is of much greater im portance the standard of education in the schools of the county is greatly improved by having this large num ber of well qualified persons as teachers.
