1 TVW CV Nebraska Plans Campaign For Immigrants Omaha Feb 5 Nebraska is preparing a whirlwind campaign for settlers and the promoters of the campaign confidently expect to see the number of inhabitants of the state increase by fully 100 OOO It is believed that a large part of these new settlers will be drawn from the farms of Pennsylvania Ohio the New England States and the South although an effort will also be made to show the factory workmen throughout the crowded eastern cities that they can by coming to Nebraska inja few years be in independent positions instead of slaving day after day for comparatively mea ger wages But the efforts of the men behind the scheme will not end at the farmer and the work man but will reach across the Atlantic and will endeavor to in fluence immigrants to come direct from Ellis Island to Omaha here to be distributed to different parts of the state according to their desires after learning the re sources of the different counties The business men of the entire state are aroused over the propo sition and if the fame of Nebraska is unsung throughout the Union this summer and fall it will be because the plans have failed First the solons of the Nebraska Legislature are to be asked to devote two per cent of all the State taxes to an advertising fund This itself is an enormous amount but even this sum is to be only the nucleus of a still greater fund which will be sub scribed by the different commer cial bodies of the State A moving picture show similar to that used by the Nebraska commission at the St Louis Ex position will be sent East and will show in hundreds of the smaller towns throughout the sec tions to be canvassed The show will be free and in addition to an hours display of interesting mov ing pictures depicting scenes in Nebraska a good lecturer will ex plain to the audience the pictures thrown on the screen Among other scenes used there will be one of an immigrant ar If you are thinking of investing in land be sure and call on me for my list of fine farms I have some very attractive propositions near town that will prove to be money makers A very large number of farms were sold in the Culbertson neighborhood this winter and still there are excellent chances for men of moder ate means to secure for themselves a home that they can call their own Irrigated sub irrigated table and divide lands at very reas onable prices and easy terms Alfalfa Land Worth 75 per Acre The Nebraska Farmer published a booklet in 1903 in which the author made the follow ing statement Every acre of alfalfa up to the limit of the stock carrying capacity of the farm is worth 75 as a land investment or farm resources in the live stock opirations of the land owner Great opportunity for profit is afforded on the majority of farm through alfalfa alone On the west side of the state where semi arid conditions exist there the most success ful crops of both hay and seed have been produced I have on my list several farms that will grow as fine alfaii as can be grown in the state and that from 20 to 25 per acre One farm of 320 acres nearly half of which will grow alfalfa can now be had for 2200 The same place will grow beets very successfully The G W Watkins farm has 250 acres that will grow alfalfa and this generally considered the best farm in the valley between the two towns can be had for 25 if bought soon I Have Bargains The Best Bargains The Money Makers L Call or write for List DO IT NOW Lin Office Over McMillens Drug Store ire iii ifci jgAHtLriYii riving on he range and taking

can be successfully used in carrying on his work writes Ambrose Swazey In the Scientific American The spider lines mostly used are from one fifth to one seventh of a thousandth of an inch iu fliameter and in addition to their strength and elasticity they have the peculiar property of Avlth standing grit changes of temperature and often when measuring the sun spots although the heat is so intense as to crack the lenses of the microme ter eyepiece yet the spider lines are not In the least injured The threads of the silkworm al though of great value as a commercial product are so coarse and rough com pared with the silk of the spider that they cannot be used in such instru ments Spider lines although but a fraction of a thousandth of an inch in diameter are made up of several thousands of microscopic streams of fluid which unite and form a single line and it is because of this that they remain true and round under the highest magnify ing power- A SCHOOLBOYS DECISION Different It Mip lit Have Chunked tlia Worlds History When Charles Wesley one of the founders of Methodism was at school a gentleman of the same name intro duced himself by letter to the boys father and declared his intention of making Charles his heir says a writ er From that time forth the bene factor discharged the boys liability at school and behaved as the handsomest Santa Claus all the year round After some years the incognito asked the boy if he Avould accompany him to Ireland Charles eventually decided against go ing The stranger went his way alone In Ireland he struck up an acquaint ance with a person who adopted his name of Wesley or Wellesley became the first Earl of Mornington grandfa ther of the Marquis of Wellesley and of the Duke of Wellington Had Charles Wesley accompanied his bene factor to Ireland there had been no Methodist church British India might still have been menaced by foes even if it remained British at all Napoleon would never have met his Waterloo and England might have become an appanage of France All this turned upon the decision of a schoolboy Burlington February Bulletin Cheap one way rates to California Puget Sound and the Northwest country March 1st to May 15th
