Farmers Institute Force of Speakers
More interest is being taken in the
Farmers Institute this season than over
before More institutes are being held
and more farmers are being reached
The present force of speakers has not
beenexcelled in point of numbers or ef
ficiency The speakers are all practical
progressive men who are recognized as
leaders in the lines that they discuss
The men on the force from our own stale
are chosen because of their practical sub
bjects to the people They are acquainted
witt hbo conditions prevailing in Nebras
ka and know under what difficulties our
people labor These men have passed
through the trials and triumphs com
mon to the Nebraska farmer They
speak from experience and therefore
with authority They are the best men
that we are able to secure and are giving
excellent satisfaction To last years
force have been added others of the same
stamp
Two ladies have been secured to speak
on domestic science poultry and home
topics We anticipate that their servi
ces will be much appreciated
Some excellent speakers have been se
cured from other state They are per
sons of recognized ability some of them
of national reputation They have the
training acquired by many years of
practical experience on the farm and in
other lines of agricultural work No
theoretical or inexperienced person is
given a place on the force Each speaker
has a great store of practical experience
and hast established a reputation for
sound judgment sound doctrine and
successful practice
A Public Library Site
Looking into the future with prophe
tic eye the library board has decided it
wise to provide a library site and we are
this week able to announce the purchase
and donation of a site for that purpose
which will fill every expectation The
three lots south of the new Methodist
church have been secured The Lincoln
Land Co has donated the corner lot and
the third lot while the middle lot had
to be bought outright from the owner
now a resident of the state of Texas This
gives a building site in a superb location
sitelyclose in but removed from the dis
turbances of active businessin the com
pany of the best buildings in the city
The dimensions are 75 x 140 feet The
Tribune congratulates and has but to
add the hope that ways and means may
be secured in the not distant future for
the construction of a suitable library
structure
