One can scarcely pick up a I newspaper in Nehraska and scan I its columns without running J acrosg at least one item which I reads that Mr. alid Mrs , So and . I So are going east for a visi t , or 1 to California or Florida for the I winter. What does it mean ? t Simply that we live in a state where one not ouly gets a Ii vi ng , but more than that is able , after a few years of strict attention to business , to indulge in the luxur. ies. It ' hasn't been man V yearg since a farmer and his wife in a sleeping car were a curiosi ty. Th n the city man and his wife were supposed to do all of the travcling. Now the farmcr takcs his phone directory , calls up the agent at the nearest railway station - tion , arranges for a sleeper to New York , LosAngeles , or elsewhere - where , and in a few days you see him and Mrs. l armer responding- to "last call for the dining car" I with as much grace and case as any city couple. The rank and file of Nebraska's population is far and away ahead of what it was a decade ago and the increasing - I ing nnmber who daily pack their trunks and take a pleasure trip is an excellent indication of the fina cial pulse oJ a community era a state. Notwitllstanding the regulations - tions .adopted by the United States government relattve to the immigraton : of J apanese- regulations in which Japan con- curred--the influx of that nation - ' tion lity hilS doubled in the last year. Not o.nly is that true , but hunc1 eds Japanese are daily enteru1g. tlus cquntry Iby stealth , in direct opposition to the .im- migration laws. Millers claim that the durum wheat is becoming softer each year-more like the blue stem. Years ago the millers made the same protest against blue stem I that they do now against durum. At the time blue stem was first introduced there was as much I difference between it and fife as there is now between durum and blue stem. J . _ , The financial situation should be cleared up after the liquida- t tions incident to the new year. The crop moving money is now I getting back to the financial I centers-and millions of dollars of inte est money amI dividends arc soon to be distributed. The speculators over the country arc alarmed over the bill in con -ress to prevent dealing in opttons in . cotton or graJn. If the measure should become a law it would no doubt be extended - tended to include speculation in all kinds of stock. There is no reason for believing - ing tha t times will be hard this winter just because Rockefeller has ordered one of his nine automobiles - mobiles sold. He is probably figuring on paying Uncle S m that paltry 29 million dollar fine and-"every little bit helps. " Even President Hoosevelt's last statement regarding his candidacy - didacy lacls much of convincing many people that he will not be the nominee of the next re- I publican national convention. If this prize figh ling business keeps us between congressmen and railroad president some of the regular pugs will want to or- 'anh e a nion-to keep amateurs out of tlie game. There is a dense silence from Lincoln over the suggestion that Bryan-l i Ie e Hoosevelt-should declare himself out of the coming presidential race. It is 'claimed that 27,000 married - I ried men in New York are supported - I ported by their wives. What a. ' snap the . New York ' .married en .do have. . , J - . . " " "IIo !

'rile l artners' Institute held in the 'l'emple theatre in . this city last 'l'hursday , It'riday amI Saturday - day proved one of the most interesting - teresting ones of the several that have been held , the attendance - ance at thc session increasing from150 on the first day to 400 on the Ilast day and ev ryone highly pleased with thc ablc manner in which the verious subjects were h anened. Space will not permit the publication - lication of a deta1led report including - cluding synopsis of the addresses on the several themes , which we very much regret. , Saturday afternoon was given over to the interests of the younger people of the community , espc.cially in connection with the boys' and girls' contes'ts , which had been arranged tor. The exhibits - hibits had been arrange 1 in the awards of prizes as soon as called for. for.Miss Miss ' Lulu Walford' gave a bright and entertaining address , illustrative of the benefits of the movement among the boys and girls. Her remarks were the most interesting as she recounted her own personal experience in helping to organize the beginnings - nings of such a' movement in "District 29 , " of Pawnee county , where s > he was teaching some years ago. 'l'he close a tlen lion with which all present listened was sufficient proof of Miss Walford's ability as a public sp aker and reconteur. , At the close of her address she announced - nounced the awards of prizes for the cooking and needle-work contests , as follows : Loaf of corn bread , 1st prize , Edith Stockham , 2nd , Edith IIaumont , both of Broken Bow ; Wheat bread , 1st prize , Edith Haumont , 2nd , Edith Stockham. .l'or ! the needle-work class , a square of gingham was sent to each one who enrolled. In it was cut a three-cornered hole which was to be darned with white thread , a square hole to be patched with a small square of the goods. One end of the piece to be hemmed one-fourth inch wide , the other end one and :4 : in In this wide hem were to be made three buttonholes . , crosswise of ( he hem ; .one buttonhole to be three.fourths of an inch long , worked with No. 30 white thread one-half inch long , worked with No. 40 white thread , and one three-eights inch long. worked with No. 50 white thread.

The. young mnsician kindly responded to the encore , which was received with even greater enthusiasm than the first selection. Much to the r gret of all , I , Judge St\llivan was unable to till the place assigned him on the I program , being engaged in a case at law before the County Judge. Mrs. Stucley gave a most delightful - lightful vocal solo , aud an cnc re , both of which were received with great appreciation. Another serious c1isa point- went was experienced wlien it j was learned that Deputy State ' Supt. E. C. Bishop was tOl > llOarse to speak as had been ext t I I J , , . . pected. lIe was callcd to the platform however , and talked for , some five minutes with great ( } ifiiculty. President Hcam then called for Co. Supt. Pinckney , n : ' . the olle person who had been most active in the boys' and girls' movement in Custer county. Mr. llishop hoarsely stated that he authorized Supt. Pinckney to make the remainder of his ad. dress. Mr. Pinckney spoJe at some length , and then called for the singing of the "Nebraska Corn Song , " s printed in these colums last week , of which Mr. Bishop is the author. The audience - dience joined hcartly in singing' the song to the tune of "March- ing throug-h Georiga , " aft e r which Mr. Pinckney1assurcdtltem that this song was Supt. Bishop's I address. It was decided and annouuced at this juncture , that th organization - ization of the Boys' aud Girls' Association would be ( } efer ed until after the state contest , Mr. Bishop having H aid t hat he and his helpers would write a summary of the plans that had heen tried in various locali tie5 , with suggestions as to the hest methods , which it is expected will he of much bcnefit in planning - ning the work for the coming ycar.
