NEBRASKA Red Cloud And Its Farmer's Institute Realizing that practically the onlj industry to be found in this section of I u n,,ntrv in ftcrricuUure. Red Cloud has enthusiastically supported the Parmer's Institute movement from its inception The merchants uud th farmers have united their efforts for the betterment of the entire commun ity. Thore has never been any diffi culty in getting the business men of this city to subscribe enough money to meet all the current expenses of the institute work. The management has never hesitated to aslc the business men for support because our business men are only too willing to help such a very practical cause. Prom the very first the people of the city and the peo pie of the country have Joined hand in hand, stood shoulder to shoulder, in the endeavor to learn new and better ways of doing. This heartjr agreement and perfect understanding has resulted in several benelolal sessions and has paved the way for more la the future. The ex tanilnn denartmeat ot oar great state ni....itr Mnnffntaed this feellncr of harmony and because of the showing made the university throws the doors open wide and informs our Institute that anything on the state farm can be had for the asking. Their very best professors are available for us at any time Here we have three forces work ing together in harmony for better crops, better cattle, better horses, bet ter hogs. These three forces also work for the betterment of home life and home sur roundings. The house wife exchanges experiences with her neighbors and learns the latest cooking wrinkles from the scientific cook in charge. Every department of farm life is ap preciated, receives the careful consider atiCT of the expert mind and this activ ity Is not only stimulating our agri cultural efforts, it is also broadening and deepening our entire life. Anyone desiring or looking for a new location where he ean raise ex cellent crops in an up to date intelli gent community we earnestly invite him to Investigate the country sur rounding this city.

Hearing a great deal of praise for the address of Mr.- J. 8. Gilliam, we decided that it wa9 deserv ing of greater publicity and prevailed upon air. lilllmm to furnish us bis copy. It will pay you well to read this more than"once. Mr. nilham said: The apostle James asks the question, "What is your life?" Then he gives the answer. ''It is even a vapor which appeareth for a little time then vanish ethaway." The distinguished Indian warrior for whom this city was named may have had a similar thought when he chose or accepted for himself the name of those beautiful vapors which adorn the evening or the morning sky He may have thought that the crimson clouds of sunset were fitting symbols of the departing glorlesof his race. Is it possible for us to translate those evening httes Into the purple and gold of a rising morn for the people whom he loved? If we owed the Indian nothing more, our debt is great for the poetically descriptive words which adorn our geographies. Nebraska, the land of the wido and shallow valley or river. Iowa, the land of the sleepy Indians, Ohio, the beautiful country, Michigan, the fish weir, Massachusetts, the big, hills, Tennessee the big bending river. Wisconsin the rapid flowing, Illinois manly men, Indiana, the Dakotas, Con necticut, Mississippi, Kentucky, Miss ouri, Arkansas and Kansas, all recall the red men who roamed their prairies, lurked in their forests and dotted their lakes and rivers with canoes. The hundreds of Indian names are not moreplcturesque in meaning than they are euphonious In sound. The longest of them are as simple and melodious as the shortest, Appalachi cola, Chattahoochee, Oconomowoo, Atob a falaya. Monongahela, Winne pesaukee trip f romthe tougue of lisping childhood with the fluent music of Merrimao and Chesapeake. Niagara, with Its jar and crash, is not more difficult of utterance than'Minnehahd, with its ripple of cheerful laughter. These many names with their variety, significance aud melody suggest an in telligence equul to that of the Greeks when Homer aang the prowess of their heroes, equal to thut of the Israelites when Miriam taught the nebrew inaidi ens the strains of choral triumph. Symmetrical of figure, "iron jointed, supple sinewed," the Indian carried himself with native grace aud easy dignity. In physical stature and pro portions he was not inferior to any race in its first stages of development, nor were, there wanting mental and moral qualities suited to bis form. He prided himself upon bis truthfulness and the sanctity of bis plighted word.

To wait with patience while aifaied with the mysterious, the ralr passlon raged, to endure the extremes aulous, the dreadful power of flash- of cold aud heat, hunger aud thriat, fatigue, to face danger without flinch lug, undergo torture with a smile of contempt, were his -boasts, and he made his boastings good. He was the equal lu stoic bravery of the Spartans who stood with Leouldas at Thermopylae. More thau a score ot villages and towns named Pout lac, Tecumseh and Osoeola attest the ad miration and sympathy extorted by these great warriors from their vic torious foes. General William Te cumseh Sherman never blushed for Ills Indian name, and General Logan never resented his Imputed likeness to a prainie chief. The Scotch Presby terian and the New England Puritan found ,thelr match in the fighting temper of the red man With equal arms aud numbers the Indians were mure often the victors. They were beutuu only by superior weauous aud numbers, not by superior UUipliue, generalship or temper. There is a dignity, u directness, a cuncineue&s in the eloquence of Logan, Red Jacket and Tecumseh, even when speaking iu English, that some orators may well imitate. Literuture coutnlus nothing tiuer of its kind thau the re buke of discourtesy by Tecumseh In vited to a conference with the officers of the American army, he found them all seated in solemu stale expecting his presence, but no chair had beeu provided for him. The commanding geucral uoted the look of displeasure aud ordered a subaltern to surrender his chair, and bade the Indian be seated aud listen to the words of the Great Father at Washington. The haughty chieftan rejected the attempted atonement, "The sky said he, "is my father, and the earth is my mothei, upon her bosom I will repose." Then he seated himself upon the ground, aud the officers of a proud civilisation found themselves humiliated by the megnatatntty of savage. , There are few stories of woman's tenderness and devotion more touch ing than the story of Pocahontas. Ancient mythology contains no myths more beautiful than the legend of Hiawatha. Three successive nights ne wrestled with a celestial visitant. Then he watched with pious care and cul ture the grave of his burled competi tor, until his spirit was resurrected in the tasseled corn stalk, whose golden ears seem destined to supply the food for earth. I like this story better than the Hebrew lore of Jacob, better than the Oreek myth'of Prometheus and his gift of fire. Jacob's all night wrestle with the unknown man was for a bless ing to himself alone. Prometheus out witted Jupiter by superior cunning and gave to man the art of manu facture. Hlatbawa struggled directly at the command of Mondamin for the gift of agriculture to mankind. What height and breadth of stature the Indian might have reached bad be been suffered to develop along the lines of bis nature, we can only surmise. It has been said that necessity is the mother of Invention. Necessity bad not yet matured his growth. Thinly scattered over a vast area of richly productive land, abounding lu game and fruits, he knew nothing of agricultural, manufacturing or com mercial labor. He had no thought of property In the soil, of which there was so much to spare, more thau In the air he breathed. Lacking the sense of property, be lacked also the stimulus of gaiu. He felt no need of collective, organlzod industry, and knew nothing of its efficiency. He knew nothing of its possible products nor felt their inceutive to work. With increase of numbers, his life would necessarily adapt itself to the changed conditions , But the white man came. He came in vessels of stupendous size, "moved with miraculous power, unosred, un padded, with the wind and against - twa Week Eack Year Ftr 11.50. Ing the deadly lightning and tho fatal thunder from bis. tubes of iron. Worse than all, be came with licentiousness and alcohol and at the source of life he planted the seed of decrepitude aud death. Uad the Indian been more pliant, re submissive, more like the negro, he might have lived with the stranger lu' contented hsppluess. New, un dreamed of pleasure might have en riched his life. His servitude might have been rendered easy, or even been exalted only into simple inferiority. Had the white man been just, hueiaiiu and considerate of thejlndlan, the two races might have lived side by side In neighborly helpfulness. The Indian's tnleuts might have been di rected Into the most serviceable ubcs. But the virtues of the savage proved his ruin. They inspired fear and a fear begotten hate. A long aud bitter con test ensued, and the Indian should uot bear all the blame. He welcomed the white man only to be crowded farther from his oyster beds, from the forest's game, tho prairies' herds. He made bargains with the stranger only to be cheated. He made treaties only to have them disregarded. The frontiers- mayheeded them uoU The pioneer pressed reslstlessly on, and the pioneer too often acted on the maxim that the good Iudian was the dead Indian. The Indian learned that IiIb Imagination, his aspiration, his activity, bis energy, his couruge and bis pride were the qualities the white mau feared and hated. He was left in peace only when he copied the white man's vices, and he surpassed bis teaeber in sottish drunkenness and indolence. The onoe stalwart, virile form is de formed, decrepit. The eagle eye Is dimmed, the brave heart is craven. TK6 high resolve is palsied. . .America owes it to the Indian, owe it to her self, owes it to history, to re-awaken the dormant energies, reanimate ,the torpid feelings, revive the poetry, the aspiration, the pride, the spirit of high endeavor, in the survivors of tbe race, wboee development was arretted, ii noc aescroyed, by tbe wnite man's greed, tbe white man's guile, tbe white man's gun, and tbe white man's vice. Seed Corn Campaign Materially Increases Yield Omaha, Neb., Deo. 2nd. A gain of 31,000,00 bushels of corn on a loss of 112,000 In acreage is the summary of a report made by Louis V. Guye, State Labor Commissioner The average gain per acre is six bushels, which on tbe acreage meaus a gain of 30,000,000 bushels of corn this year. Last year the average over the state was twenty one bushels per acre; this year, twenty seveu. The increase in yield is attributed in a large measure to the seed corn cam paign, which was made possible by the newspapers of the state. The Bureau of Publicity, backed by the newspapers of Nebraska, and with tbe co-operation of tbe State Experiment station waged what is reported to be one of the most exhaustive campaigns of its kind ever promulgated. No matter what or who is responsible for the gain, it is here and Nebraska is profiting by a large yield of corn. Mllst Chared Nstkes.
