John (). Yeiscr won the rank of
Colonel by his activity in politics last
year. He Ib now out for a higher title.
Possibly the title he secured last year
Ib not sufficiently recognized. Mr.
Yelser made a bid last year for tho
honor of being the first Nebraskan to
suggest the name of Col. Roosevelt for
President.
He Is now advocating a conference
for the purpose of re-unltlng the brok
en members of the republican party in
this state. Mr. Yelser will fall in his
efforts this time. The progressive re
publicans have tasted the delight of
thinking and talking something beside
party loyalty, and they are in no hurry
'to go back and be bridled and harness
ed for the Rosewaters, the Barneses
and the Penroses to lead and drive up
to the standard oil managers It would
be a public calamity for the progress
ive party to again come under the in
fluence or domination of the stand pat
ters. Knowing that this great and glori
ous country of ours can be developed
and made to blossom as the rose wo
we desire to do all wo can to promote
Its welfaro and realizing that the
more homes wo have established in
onr midst the quicker will our advance
ment be, we therefore have decided to
give absolutely free ope year's sub
scription to the Chief to every couple
that marries and settles in this county.
Long established families have depend
ed upon the Chief for years and years
for all kinds of Information nud ad
vise and the new homes should, start
out In life equipped with tho same
precious organ.
Old batchelors ouirht not to loiiiroi-
.hesitate and young ones will certainly
will bo greatly encouraged by this
Rift of ours. Fifty-two copies of tho
Chief just for getting married and
snaking a home. Who will be the
first to send in their name and ad
dress? The department of sociology of the
state university recently conducted
aa investigation of the recreational
' conditions of the rural towns of Ne
braska. The results obtained were
published' in the University Journal
for November. It was found that the
. ageacles most active in promoting re.
creation are schools, commercial
feats, churches, customs and tra
ditions, clubs and lodges and saloons.
A Mmmary of the towns of the state
shows that the schools promote 20.83
per cent of the recreational interests,
the commercial agents 20.03 per cent
the oburches 10.39 per cent, customs
ad traditions 15.32 per cent, clubs and
lodges 12.13 per cent and the saloons
1.7 per cent.
The young people of all times have
muted and will want social life and
JBSMment. If a corrupt 'sort is of
fered it cannot but have its effect. If
aoae is offered the result Is one sided
or blighted youth. The commission

finds "that the majority of evils exist
Ing In our social tlfe are due to a lack
of social advantages rathor than to
any organised and commercial
schemes," The commission denlores
the fact that our churches and schools
are so little used for the wholesome
entertainment of the people. These
buildings should be used for regular
social and literary meetings.
The commission also point out that
every community was capable of en
tertaining Itself by drawing out its
latent ability. The Idea that outsldejs
must be Imported to furnish amuse
ment and recreation Is absurd. The
community owes it to Itself to utilize
Its borne energy and gculus.
Yes, its the little things that hurt.
A common cvery-clay measly little fly
will make an orthodox Christian swear
forty strokes to the minute, while If
the same man had his head taken off
by a July tornado he wouldn't say a
word about It.
Tho public schools deserve morn at
tention than is usually given them.
Parents, as a rule, reirard their entire
duty in this connection discharged in
paying their ax and proporly olutliiuir
and sending their children to school.
There Is reason to four that many look
upon tho school room us a nursery to
relieve them of their troublesome chil
dren. The p'iblic schools cannot ac
complish the full measure of their pos
sibilities unless the parents join with
teachers him! directors in attention to
pupils.

Used to say "I would rather see a woman go out of my store empty handed
but smiling, than to see her leave with a purchase in her hand but a
frown on her face.
You see, that man had learned that in the long run its satisfaction that counts,
and not the immediate sale.
We aim to, and hope we will always be able to meet your wants when you
come to us. But, if in any particular we cannot suit you, we'd prefer to
keep our merchandise and retain your good will. ,
Please feel free to tell us frankly whenever we fail, and to bring back any
unsatisfactory purchase. Your money will be returned gladly and with
all possible dispatch.
