OUR NEW MAN OF BUSINESS.
.For generations throughout the
civilized world the farmer has been
regarded simply as a farmer—nothing
more.
He has been classed as a farmer,
rated as a farmer, treated as a farmer
and all because there are none so
blind as those who will not see.
But all of that is changed today.
The farmer has come into his own,
and stands before the world in the
twentieth century as the most solid,
substantial and reliable class on the
face of the globe.
He is a man of business—of tremen
dous business—the one man without
whom the people of the world would
cease to exist.
Men go out to the great cities, and
many of them rise, and fall and are
heard from no more.
But the farmer moves steadily on
ward, and upward, always to better
and greater things.
He is our new man of business—
our greatest man of business—the
man upon whom all the world de
pends for the vital sustenance of life.
When the president of the United
States, one of the greatest advocates
of peace, publicly takes the stand
that it is imperative that we have
adequate means for national defense,
isn’t it about time for the layman to
look the facts square in the face?
American gold will look mighty tempt
ing to foreign nations when this war
is over. We have the gold, but not
the means of protecting it.
State Educational Association.
At Omaha. November 3, 4, and 5,
bids fair to be held the greatest edu
cational gatherings Nebraska has ever
seen. Someone has said that the se
cret of success in the schoolroom
lies almost wholly in the spirit of the
teacher. The greatest factor for good
is the proper spirit and character of
the teacher. A meeting of this kind
tends to develop this proper spirit and
is therefore of inestimable value to
the teachers, in whom in great degree
is vested the moulding of the charac
ters of our boys and girls. Teachers
sometimes find it hard, under the
stress of daily duties and discourage
ments, to keep up within themselves
the necessary amount of inspiration
and enthusiasm. It is therefore neces
sary to get this inspiration from some
source. I know of no better source
than the State Educational Meeting.
I trust that the school officers of
each district of the county will not
only give their teacher permission to
close school on Tuesday for the re
mainder of the week and give the time
without stopping the teacher’s salary,
but that you will urge her to attend.
School boards and parents should real
ize that the school, not the teacher,
gets the real benefit of these meetings.
The teacher gets new ideas; gets in
spiration; gets energy, both physical
and mental, and will return to the
school a better teacher, and a better
companion to boys and girls.
It would be a great help to the edu
cational interests of Sherman county
if one member of the school board of
each district in the county would at
tend this meeting. The school board
session will be held on Wednesday
afternoon, November 3, at 2 o’clock.
L. H. CURRIER,
County Superintendent.
A HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL.
A Harvest Home Festival will be
given in the basement of the Presby
terian church on Friday, October 22.
Supper will be served from 5:30 on
and a program will follow. Every
body is invited to come and remain
for an evening of enjoyment. The
price of the supper will be 25 cents.
Danger From Frosted Corn.
Art O'Neil and Anton Erazim were
exchanging views on live stock and
the proper methods of feeding, the
other day, when Mr. O’Neil referred
to the fact that he recently lost a
valuable horse, and the cause was at
tributed to the fact that the animal
got loose at night and ate a too large
quantity of frosted cane. Mr. Erazim
concured in the opinion and related
a number of experiences of his own
that would seem to prove that forage
of many kinds may possess a poison
ous quality when frosted or when thfe
plant has been prematurely killed by
frost. For this reason, they agreed,
there might be unusual losses ex
pected this year from “corn-stalk
diseases,” since nearly all the corn
has been killed by the frost instead
of ripening in the usual way. Whether
there is anything in it or not The
News does not presume to know, but
it gives the opinion and experience
of these two experienced stockmen
for what it may be worth, with the
suggestion that it may be a wise plan
to be a bit cautious in pasturing live
stock in cornfields this year.—The
Ravenna News.

More Political Rumors.
County politics have commenced to
brew in Sherman county extremely
early in the game. Emil Holub re
cently announced his determination
to file as a candidate for county
treasurer, and now news drifts over
here from Loup City that Mike Mc
Keon is being talked of as a probable
candidate for sheriff. Mike has the
peculiar qualities necessary to fill
that sort of an office acceptably, and
if he wants the job The News is for
him.—Ravenna News.
Jas. W. Conger of Loup City and a
representative of the Chenoweth Film
Co., of Lincoln were here Wednes
day and took a picture of the pupils
and teachers of our schools. Mr.
Conger is preparing a series of pic
tures for moving picture machines.
They are getting up a movie play en
titled “The Elopement,” The pictures
were started at St. Paul and each
town on up the line to Burwell, then
across to Broken Bow and down the
line as far as Grand Island. The above
gentlemen will also take pictures of
the Boelus Hydro-Electric project.—

“The Difference”
Bp F. J. DeTamble, Charlotte Branch
A poet could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a
poena on it and make it worth thousands of dollars.
THAT’S GENIUS.
Our government can take an ounce and a quarter of
gold and stamp it with an eagle bird and make it worth
twenty dollars. THAT’S MONEY.
A mechanic can take material worth five dollars and
make it into wheels worth a thousand dollars.
THAT’S SKILL.
A merchant can take an article worth fifty cents and
sell it for a dollar. THA T’S BUSINESS.
The Author of this can write a check for ninety thou
sand dollars but it wouldn't be worth a cent.
'CHAT’S TOUGH.
There are automobile makers in this country who use
four thousand pounds of material to build an automoble
and they will tell you that this automobile will serve
them with pleasure and economy.
THA T’S DECEIT.
Everybody who is posted and wants the most for their
money buys a “FORD.’’
THAT’S GOOD JUDGMENT.

NEBRASKA LEADING.
In the record breaking crop of 1915
Nebraska is one of the leading states
in the union. The wheat crop broke
all records in the history of the state.
The Nebraska oats crop this year will
total fully 73,000,000 bushels or ap
proximately two million bushels more
than last year. In 1915 the Nebraska
farmers came within ‘•'>0,000 bushels
of the banner oat year in 1910. Then
the yield was 71,562,877 and is com
pletely distanced by the new record
of 1915.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUPLICATED.
While Chris Johansen was paper
ing at a residence Monday the ladder
slipped and Chris measured his length
on the floor. His hand struck the
spout of an oil can which ran in at
the fleshy part at the base of the
thumb for nearly an inch. At about the
same time Otto Bechthold met with
an accident at the garage in which he
got his hand injured by the point of a
sharp piece of steel being thrust into
his hand. Evidently they both started
for the doctor’s office at the same
time and met at the office steps, for
exactly the same treatment. The
wounds proved to be exactly in the
same place on the hands and were
exactly of the same nature. The only
difference is that one is now left
handed and the other is right. The
wounds are quite serious, however,
and the boys will be laid off for some
days
MID-WINTER MEETINGS.
Representatives of the various soci
eties which compose Organized Agri
culture probably will hold a meeting

riculture in Lincoln November 11. The

ter apple show and the rally of the ag
ricultural and live stock interests will
take place January 18-23 if the usual
policy of the organization is followed.
Arrangements will be made for noteed !
speakers.
