Our Children' By Mrs. W. B. Davis. Are You Trying Too Hard ? Children often show an un canny understanding of the way a parent feels deep inside him self. Sometimes a child knows bet ter than his own mother what her feelings are, and no amount of time spent with him or ad vantages provided for him will make up to him for the tension and apprehension which are his if he knows his parents are un - happy or do not love him. Many of us try so hard to be good mothers that we forget how necessary it is, first of all, to be happy, well-adjusted persons in our own right. All of us know that we have limits of physical endurance, and most of us keep within them. What we often do not realize is that we have limits of emotional strength, or rather, that we each have our person ality pattern, which we must take into consideration. We can not work against the grain of our own personalities, our tastes and interests without making serious mistakes.

OLSON# Superintendent • TATS ■ UTOAICAl SOCIKTY The early communities of Ne braska Territory, ever alive to the importance of attracting addition al industry, carried on aggressive promotional campaigns designed to sing the praises of Nebraska to all parts of the nation. A good example of the litera ture put out as a part of these campaigns was the pamphlet, “Ne braska,” published in 1866 by the Board of Immigration for Ne braska. According to this pamphlet, Ne braska presented, “a great and in viting field for the introduction of manufacture.” The booklet went on to say: “Hundreds of streams throughout the State, which are squandering their energies, should, at an early day, be set to the music of machinery. Tens of thou sands of artisians and laborers and millions of capital could be pro fitably employed in this direc tion.” Being more specific, the pam phlet stated: “flour should be pro duced here in large quantities, supplying not only the home con sumption but contributing largely to the western demand.” Likewise, “the great amount of black walnut and oak timber growing in almost every section,” furnished material from which to manufacture farm implements, furniture, and wagons, “and all other articles required for the house or farm.” In addition to publications such as the one cited above, local news papers devoted a great deal of space to publicizing their respec tive towns. Frequently, the news paper was nothing more than an organ of the town company. As Fred W. Heskett pointed out in a master’s thesis written a num ber of years ago at the University of Nebraska, these early news papers had a much wider circula tion than one ordinarily would suppose. Travelers from eastern states, after a visit to Nebraska—usually in the interests of “spying out” the prospects—would subscribe to the territorial papers in order to keep themselves informed regarding current progress in the territory. In addition, a large part of many issues were sent by the town companies to agents in the east where they were distributed to prospective settlers. der the chairmanship of Mrs. Jewell Kelly, the contest will in clude 17 infants and children, but a complete list was not available at presstime.

One of the most significant of these cases was that of the Amistad. There were cases on board the schooner fifty-four Negroes who were be ing carried coastwise from Ha vanna to Neuvitas on the island of Cuba in 1839. Under the lead ership of the African, Joseph Cinque, the Negroes murdered the passengers and the crew with the exception of two Spaniards spared to steer the vessel toward freedom. After roaming the high seas a few days, the vessel came ashore for water and provisions at Culloden Point on the east end of Long Island, and was espied and taken possession of a short while thereafter by Cap tain Gedney of the United States Navy. Cinque, the leader, un dertook to escape but finally yielded. The captives were then brought before the United States Circuit Court in Connecticut, presided over by Andrew T. Jud son. As the proceedings lasted fdr some months, Cinque with some companions was turned over to certain abolition teach ers, who so thoroughly grounded him in the fundamentals of ed ucation that he developed into a man of considerable intelligence and showed natural ability as an orator. The outcome of the case was that, although Van Buren, was ready to remand them, the supfeme court on appeal decided that the Negroes, being free when they left Havanna, were violating no law in killing tltose trying to enslave them. They were therefore set free. ■ ii ' ' • Umberger’s 2-2424 1110 Q Funeral and Ambulance Sex-r ice. Verna Burke, Roy Stuaft, Harold Rohrbaugh. Floyd Umberger Families 2-5059 _ _ PRESTO . . .
