The Argus last week put out an ex
cellent edition giving a full account
of thu successful fanner's in.stitute
hold nt CowIch. Very few people out
side of the nowspapor fraternity leal
lo how inueli time and money is re"
fpilred to publish special editions of
tills character yet we vonttiro to say
Hint the reading public is pleased with
the effort.
The friends of Hon. C. It. Hesse nre
urirlnir him to attain make the race for
the state senate They feel that he
made n creditable record and that the
interests of Democracy would bo snfo
in his hands. So far Mr. Hosse has
not stated his intention but lie has a
large following which would bo pleas
ed to hare him be the standard bearer
from this district.
The new one hundred ami twenty
fire horse power Westlnghouso engine
is installed in the power house and we
now hare two engines and two boilers
and arc fully equipped to furnish
electricity to all comers. The new
engine is a beauty and is declared to
be mechanically correct in every de
tail. It certainly has the appearance
of being able to carry any load and
moves as easy as a watch. It requires
but very little floor space yet it is so
arranged that it develops the greatest
efficiency with the lenst amount of
parts.
We are pleased that our pupils In
the high school made as good u show
ing as they did in spelling thoso sixty
words given by the Professor. A few
years ago we heard a good deal from
educators about spelling and wo are
pleased to know that they have not.
relinquished their vlgiloiice. These
words selected are common ones but
such is ilto peculiarity of our language
they are most difficult to remember.
If that egotistical Noah Webster had
had his way years ago we might all be
able to spell with ease but relief will
not come In all probability until (la
briel blows Ids mighty trumpet.

In rend Inn over our exchanges we
not leo that many editors mm poking
fun at the action of the Oiuahii Com
mercial Club for its olforts to gel the
farmers to test their seed corn. These
cditois seiitn to think tlmt, it is a rich
joke beciiise men wearing boiled shirts
uiid reclining on easy chairs should
let their imiglnutiou dwell upon
things earthly. They also seem to
think that it is all done to advertise
Omaha and consequently should re
ceive a slap. So far as we are concern
ed we are willing to admit for the sake
of r.rgiiinont that the Omaha Commer
cial club is carrying on the movement
with mi Idea of getting more trade for
Omaha but If they can at the same
time increase the profits of the farmer
where is the harm? They are spend-
"tf t,,uir tln,c ftml mo"y t0 simplify
the findings of agricultural experts
and Arc simply spreading the Inform
ation. Omaha is a largo wholesale
center and naturally attracts Mfrade
from the state and if these wholesalers
can show how to avoid failure they
are doing the state a scrrico and if
their business is larger by reason of
this free Information who cares?
There aro a few simple minded people
to be found In the state who will not
believe anything that emanates from
Omaha. Stand up for Nobraska.
One of our ministers stated from the
pulpit Sunday morning that there were
in the neighborhood of two thousand
people In and around Red Cloud that
never attended church and he asked
the question why? Wo presume that
no one could give all the reasons why
such a condition should exist but may
not some of tho fault lie with tho
churches themselves'.1 Ktllciency is de
manded today from orery person and
institution and the question naturally
arises Has the church been efficient?
Do the member of tho various church
es so live that they attract men and
women in all walks of life? Do the
ministers preach Christ or do they ex
pound a worn out theology'.' Has the
church thought more of its creed than
it lias of its Itible'.' These are pert
euint questions and if the church can
answer tlieni satisfactorily tho blame
must tost with the noii-cliurch goers.
It would not be fair in an article of
tins kind to refrain from asking an
othor question. Have the non-church
goers ever investigated tho church.
Have they intimated that they would
enjoy any kind of religious service'.'
Have they given Hie question any at
tention whatever? No ono basil right
to denounce any institution 6r people
until ho has made a thoro examination
of the merits or demerits of that insti
tution or that people. To say that
anything is n huinbugitliut being
aide to give siitl-fnctnrr lelisno for

supeiintcndent, (iertrude h. t'oon,
asking that the teachers of the county
organize their ce.hools and get them

most worthy one. It is the easiest
and the most practical way to reach
every farmer in the count v and we
trust that every teacher will feel that
