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

Brotherhood
Meeting
y
The
special meeting at the Con
gregational church conducted by the
Brotherhood was most interesting aud
instructive. 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.

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,

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.

The Holiday Spirit
Says "Give Jewelry
Nothing else that comes within the range of gift-giving so
universally pleases.
Nothing else is so generally given nothing else so com
pletely voices the spirit of Christmas.
Of course there are many sorts of Jewelry displays, dome
are more comprehensive than others, tSome show
greater taste in designing than others. Some are
more "Christmassy" than others.
We are not going to make any comparisons except to say
that we really believe that you givers of gifts will
find more of the real spirit of the season evidenced
in OUR this year's display than you will find
within many miles of this store.
Giving Jewelry doesn't mean that there's a lot of money
to pay, either not necessarily.
In fact there are any number of articles here that you can
own for less than a dollar.
But what we want to particularly, emphasize here is that
. yqu can't have a want ,at this time, Tut 'we. .meetlit
with the precise article you desire at its lowest price.
You can understand just what we mean if you call.
