Burlington Pure-Bred Special
Stops at Burwell and
Ord on Second
Day.
R.v WILL M. MAITIN.
Rurwell, Neb., Oct. 10.—Garfield
county has several distinctions, one
- of them being that It Is one of the
worst misunderstood counties In the
state. Most Nebraskans think it is a
purely range country, and that agri
culture is not carried on to any con
siderable extent. Rut the reverse Is
true. Acre for aere It Is one of the
most productive counties In Nebras
ka, and Its per raplta production of
agricultural and livestock wealth
ranks It well towards the top. Bur
well the county fceat. Is the only town
In the county and Is at the terminus
of the Ord Burwell branch from
Aurora. Tt has a population of about
1.500.
When the Burlington's Pure Bred
Sire speelal reached Burwell It was
greeted by an Immense throng, led by
the Burwell hand. By aetual count,
2,284 persons went through the train
and saw the exhibits. Dairying Is be
ing developed at a rapid rate in this
section. The Burwell Butter Co., has
a fine creamery plant In Burwell and
is making an avernge of 15,000
pounds of butter a month.
Ex-service Men Farmers.
Mel Goodenow is one of the pioneer
farmers of this section. He lives on
his original homestead that he took
52 years ago last spring. Mr. Goode
now wears the bronze button of the
Grand Army of the Republic, hut he
is hale and hearty and one of the
most nctivtKmen in the eommunlty.
He has added to his original home
* stead until he is one of the largest
iandownors in Garfield county, and
one of the county's wealthiest men.
Mr. Ooodenow’s record as a success
ful farmer Is duplicated by scores of
men In this section. County Judge L.
B. Fenner, who has been a resident
of Burwell for a quarter of a century,
pointed out a number of young farm
ers who started in immediately after
they were discharged from the army
and who now have good farms and
comfortable farm homes, free from
debt. Tt would he difficult to find a
community that offers' better ex
amples of what industry and good
management will a^compll^h along
the lines of farming and stock rais
ing.
Garfield county’s fair is one of the
outstanding fairs of the state. On one
day last month nmr# than 15,000 poo
tde were on the fair grounds in one
day. The association plant Is free
from debt. and has a surplus of more
than . 6 000 in (he bank. It is true
that much of the county Is rough
and sandy, hut the most of it is won
dorful farming land.
Tin day of the special's visit to
Burwell was a county holiday. The
1 in«< men of Burwell offered
«l,eoq In prizes for various sports and
** ,1,tests. One of the interesting fea
tures was a prize pet contest. More
tV'U 400 pets were entered by chil
dren.
Ord, Second Stop.
Ord, the second stop of the second
day's trip, is the county seat of Val
ley county and has a population of
2.500. There is more popcorn, bought,
sold and shipped in Ord than in any
other two towns in the world. It was
here that "haby rice popcorn” was
bred to its present perfection.
Nor Is dairying overlooked in the
Ord country. An average of $100,000
a year is paid for cream in Ord alone.
Situated on the Burlington and
Union Pacific. Ord has 10 trains each
way a day, Affording splendid trans
portation service. The courthouse
but recently completed, represents an
Investment of $300,000. One of the
city's ahow places Is the 160 acre
park donated by “Uncle Jimmy” Rus
sell. It has a splendid golf course.
Two miles of paved streets, municipal
water and light plant, complete sewer

ABE MARTIN On Contentious People
-----'■
STRIKIN’ A SNAG.
It's supposed t’ require all kinds
o’ people t’ make a world, but we
ran’t see where contentious people
come In—snarlin’, bilious, argumen
tlve, disagreeable, contentious people.
Contentious people are not partial
t’ any certain climate, or topography,
or society. They thrive In little towns
an’ big towns, an' they're engaged In
all kinds o’ activities.
We And contentious people wher
ever we go, at cornerstone layln's,
tveddin's, conventions, an’ even stand
in' around where a safe is bein’
moved, or a post hole is bein’ dug.
Contentious people have no warm
friends. They're tolerated, but not
liked. They’re often seen with others,
but they’re taggin’ along.
While there is no room In this
cheerful, big world fer contentious
people, they're here an’ are supposed
t' be fer some good purpose, jest th’
same as th’ skunk an’ th’ hornet. O
course th' skunk Is here on account of
Its fur, but tve don't quite git th'
hornet.
We don't have t' be an' anaemic or
out o’ luck t’ be contentious, as many
people who ought t be tickled t' death
are contentious.
We meet highly successful con
tentious people, an' that’s one o' th'
causes o’ th’ supposed equal distribu
tion o’ th’ good things o’ this life, an'
one reason why we believe in th' ele
ment o’ luck.
Contentious people are alius fail
ures as candidates, husbands an'
clerks.
Contentious people's time Is mostly
taken up huntin' new associates. They
make friends, but they don't keep
’em long.
Contentious people often git beat
up, an’ it's no uncommon thing t’ see
’em with flattened noses, gold front
teeth, an’ not Infrequently with one
eye off th’ job.
Contentiousness spring from a natu
tal, Inborn desire, often amountin' t'
a craze, t’ take issue, t’ combat, t'
question, t’ belittle, f stir up, t' argue
with th’ other fellow—even at picnics,
at funerals, in hospitals, at weenie
toasts, marshmallow parties, on the
street corners, an' in th' quiet pre
cincts o’ th’ home.
Wash Pusey was the most con
tentious feller we ever knowed. His
wife killed him with ft fork. It got
so he had t' go out o' town t’ git in a
conversation. He had one fairly good
eye, but had not used his nose for
years. He was in th' mail order busi
ness or he never could have made a
livin'. We remember o' Art Smiley
Hayin' t’ Wash years ago, when he
wuz jist startin’ out t' be contentious,
that Kimer Swank, who’d won a gold
watch In a tri-state corn shuckin
contest, wuz a go«l corn shucker, an'
right off the bat, he said, “Fair, yet.
but he comes r h—II of a long ways
from bein' what's called a fancy
shucker."
HONEYMOONERS
RIDE BOXCARS
I.os Angeles, Oct. 11.—After a 10,
000-mile bridal tour in box cars, Mr.
and Mrs. Charles D. Gibson are back
in I,os Angeles.
They left here in February and
have been as far east as Chicago on
their “box car honeymoon." They
also toured Texas as a side trip.
Several times the couple were ar
rested for "stealing" train rides and
they spent a number of days in jail.
CLOTHIERS SAY
DRESS AIDS PURSE
New York, Oct.^11.—“Dreas well and
succeed" waa the slogan adopted
some months ago by the National
Association of Xtetail clothiers and
furnishers, and In its 11th annual
convention, recently held at the
Grand Central palace, the members
told how the suggestion worked out.
"The way for you clothiers to
create more sales is to create more
needs or wants in dress," said Alfred
S. Bryan, one of the speakers. “Wait
ing for a suit to wear out until you
can sell the wearer another suit isn't
working for yourself nr your future
Persuade your customers not simply
to buy clothes hut to own enough of
them to meet the obligation of every
occasion."
SAFETY COUNCIL
BOARD TO MEET
The board of control of the Omaha
safety council will meet Monday at
12:15 for luncheon at Hotel Fonte
tn lie. Officers and an executive com
mittee are to be elected and a work
ing program for the year outlined.
Carl Smith, field secretary of th«
National Safety council, will tell what
the councils are doing in other
cities. He also will advise regarding
the financial program.
CIRCLE SQUARED
BY ARMY OFFICER
Berlin, Oct. 11.—"I have solved the
problem of squaring, the circle." This
statement Is made by Col. George
rfertlc, of Agram, who has come to
Vienna In order to let the world
know of his monumental discovery.
“For 3S years I have worked con
tlnually on the problem of how to
convert a circle Into a square of ex
actly tl.o same space dimensions, the
oldest problems of mathematics.
All scientists have declared that
the solution of this problem Is lmpos
sible. Hut I have solved it Just the
same,”
The colonel first draws a line
which equals the length of the clr
cumference and out of It constructs
a square whose space dimensions
equal the space dlinemi > of the
circle.

LIFEBOAT WORKS
WHEN UPSIDE DOWN
London, Oct. 11.—The acrobatic life
boat has made Its appearance.
Recently tested, It Is claimed that
the new lifeboat, the Invention of a
London engineer, will keep Its occu
pants safe even when it is upside
down.
It is an ordinary type of lifeboat in
appearance, but the seats on which
the passengers and crew sit are plac
ed in a cradle which swings on two
pivots, with the result that tin mat
ter what angle the boat assumes, the
seats always keep the same level.
Special ballast arrangements ensure
that the boat will float upside down,
and it can even be rowed in this
position.
Sure Remedy.
Customer—Can you teil me what I
can do to avoid falling hair?
Manicurist—Jump out of the way.

MANCHU DICTATOR
MAKES NEW OFFICE
l*T Associated Press.
Tokio, Oct. 10.—Chang Tso Lin,
Manchurian military dictator, has
taken another step In his efforts to
^et up a separate government for
Manchuria, by the establishment in
Mukden of a foreign office for the
three eastern provinces, according
to a dispatch from Mukden to the
Kokusai News agency.
Under plans as stated in the news
dispatch, the foreign office will trans
act all diplomatic business for Man
churia, independently of the central
government at Pekin. Formal an
nouncement of organization of the of
fice will be made when its staff Is
complete.
Manchuria Includes three provinces
—Shengklng (Fengtlenl Kirin, and
Heilungkiang—which 'before the
Cherven, 13 years ago today, com
prised the viceroyalty of the three
eastern provinces. The population of
the three provinces is reliably esti
mated at over 22,000,000. Since the
rival war of 1922, In which Marshal
Chang Tso-Lltf was defeated by cen
tral government forces, Manchuria
has been under his military dictator
ship, though not recognized by the
world powers as a second power.
The Lin now is engaged In a war
against the central government
which he has sworn to overthrow.
We do not know if there sre folks
On Mara up there;
Or. if there are. what griefs or Jokes
May lie their share.
