Did you ever notice that when a man

But let him drop his plug of tobacco

t up , give it a careless wipe on his

Just keep right on talking and work

will be the wise man of the morrow.
Blessed is the crank.
Perhaps one of the most striking

If the county commissioners keep up

Never say die but work every day
for irrigation. Western Nebraska must
have it , and the "quicker the sooner. "
Let there be no ease in Zion until the
South Side ditch is performing its
grand mission of watering the earth.
Andrew Carson was perhaps one of
the most surprised men in Red Willow
county , Tuesday morning to , find four
Buffalo around his house upon arising
from his slumbers. They were doubt
less members of the Buffalo Jones herd
which recently escaped from Culbert-
son and have so for defied capture.
Certainly the handsomest and most
elaborate display of flowers ever at
tempted in McCook was that made at
the May Festival and Flower Mound
by the ladies and friends of the Bap
tist church , last Friday afternoon and
evening. For all their labor and taste
the ladies deserved even more liberal
patronage than that accorded. Besides
they are proper subjects for congratula
tion and praise.
Irrigation is not alone an agricultural
problem. It is to be hereafter a factor
in town building. Nine-tenths of the
towns in Nebraska which have suffered
from depression during the past year
owe their misfortunes to crop failures in
1890. Nine-tenths of the business fail
ures are due to the same cause. If a
business man may choose between a
town whose agricultural support is pre
carious , and one whose tiibutary terri
tory is sure of abundant crops year in
and year out , which will he prefer ? If
he can make choice between dealing
with farmers whose property is worth
$10 an acre and those where it is worth
$50 and upwards , can he hesitate for an
instant ? Does he want to share the
Fortunes of the corn-belt , with its serial
story of hard-times , or does he prefer
the diversified and prosperous agricul
ture which produces large and sure crops
jf wheat , alfalfa and potatoes and the
rich and manifold fruits of the temper-
ite zone ? There is , of course , no com
parison between the values of town
properties and business opportunities
in the irrigated region and those of the
sections which depend upon the mer
curial disposition of the western rain-
Tall. The good towns in Nebraska will
be in the irrigated region. These towns
ivill never be nipped by drouths. They
will never have seasons when the only
jrop harvested will be a crop of bad
Dills. Irrigation is therefore a very
rital factor in western town life. It
Bakes the basis of business sound and
; olid. For these reasons irrigation is
> f as much importance to the people of
i town as to the inhabitants of its sur
rounding country.

Do not compromise your own charac

OBSERVER.
OBSERVATIONS.
From the May Century.
Ho man is accountable for the mistakes of
his friends.
Don't call a spade a Bjmdo when it is a shovel.
No man ever yet minded his own business
who didn't get Into trouble.
However great some men's abilities are.
their liabilities are always greater.
A man is frequently known by the company
he keeps out of.
Honesty is the best policy , because it is the
only policy which insures against loss of char
acter.
Don't lose sight of an honorable enemy ; he'll
make a good friend.
The soaring hawk has no ear for music , and
rates the cry of ttio partridge above the song
of the nightingale.
After a while the king will do no wrong ,
because he will never have a chance.
The man who believes in ghosts may be a
better citizen than the oie who does not be
lieve in his fellow-creatures.
Fashion and decency should be always on
good terms.

Ono cubic foot of water Is equal to 7.48-100
gallons , usually called 71gallons. .
One cubic foot of water per second of time
is the same as 7& gallons every second , or 450
gallons in a minute.
One cubic foot of water per second will cov
er an acre one inch deep in one hour.
There are 43,560 square feet in one ucre.there-
fore 43,560 cubic feet of water would cover
one acre one foot in depth.
Water increases in velocity or speed as the
depth is increased.
Two inches over a weir wi'l give more than

Thalrsith of a chronic catarrh patient is of tense
so offensive that he becomes an object of dis
gust. After a time ulceration sets in , the
spongy bones are attacked and frequently en
tirely destroyed. A constant source of dis
comfort is the dripping of the purulent secre
tions into the throat , sometimes producing in
veterate bronchitis , which in Its turn has been
the exciting cause of pulmonary disease. The
brilliant results which have attended its use
for years past properly designated Ely's
Cream Balm as by far the best and only cure.
