the distributing subagenr Not Dry Farming Is not the Campbell system dry farming Yes to this extent the dry farmer cannot succeed unless he practices the principles of the Campbell system In this respect he differs slightly from a farmer under irrigation or the farmer in the humid sections for the farmer under ample rainfall and the irrigator can make some kind of a crop without knowing anything about scientific farming but the uninformed semi arid far mer will fail nine times in ten Is not Mr Campbell regard ed as the father of dry farming you ask Yes his system of scien tific tillage made it possible to produce a crop every year west of the 100th meridian where the rainfall is less than twenty inch es and a drouth i apt to come without warning It was acci dent more than anything else that identified the Campbell sys tem with semi arid agriculture commonly called dry farming The principles of the conservation of moisture by the surface mulch and the development of plant food as well as the storing of moisture by summer tilling with th of sub packing to maintain capillary con n zVcn with the subsoil were all worked cut by Mr fampbell un der sMiii arid conditions But every principle of scientific tillage will apply to the soils of New England and Ohio Indiana and Iowa as well as they do to the soils of Dakota Colorado and Texas State W G T U Convention The tim

Year -And the Crowds to Witness Were Overflow ing in Numbers and Enthusiasm The celebration of Pythian Day by the members of McCook lodge No 42 Knights of Pythias of our city Monday stands alone among the observances of the kind attempted by any order in Southwestern Nebraska This has been an event for several years past and each year the effort has been to excel that of the pre vious year This year it was an nounced in confident terms that it would be the best ever Be ginning early the boys laid their plans to make good and they sue ceeded They had a parade of such mginitud an I excellence as to bring forth th approval nndap pliuse cf the many hundreds gathered in tin oftrnoon to wit nss this feature The ball following was of th usual intense interest and ad ded another trophy to the belts of the invincible Benedicts The evening program drew ev en larger crowds Main avenue b ing thronged by those who show ed a desire to hear and witness the performances of the evening The opening aiumber of the even ing was music by the company band of comnanv M N N G This band is coming rapidly to th front as a musical organiza tion in which McCook is taking pride and pleasure The vaudeville performance nfcl the intersection of Mam avenue and B street was planned on a scale to harmonize with the rest of the day but circumstances marred this feature somewhat The crowd was so large that but few could hear and the fake fire alarm broke in upon the proceed ings disastrously Nevertheless the sketches the singing the monologue work and the more pretentious dramatic efforts were by McCook s best artists and received the approval of all who could enjoy and see The marriage of that disting uished young couple from Ilayes county performed by that inim itable gentleman from Dundy county Squire Jeff Gallagher was worth the full price of ad mission and reserved seats were on sale all day at McConnells The ball in Armory hall brought the affair to a brilliant conclusion It was largely par ticipated in by knights and ladies and friends The famous K of P orchestra provided the music R J Gunn was marshal of the day and on that prancing pin to was every inch a marshal And Johnnie Morrissey Avas next behint Bob with a mega phone and his rich and mellow bog voice The company M band of 23 pieces proceeded the company which was aiext in line several corporal guards of them And a brave lot were they Herb Watkins headed the dash ing cow girls of which there were a score of em accoutred and costumed Arthur Wood led that cute ing in the gaily decorated autos came in order And Ben Hur What Cyril an idea tor a world thrilling cherub And those cheeks The Yigam Biuings band made one of the hits of the pro cession and parade Some of thi Yigams had a suspicion of a fere with the excellence of their musical offerings And the rest of the family fo lowed in numbers The Fats and Leans were there in the person of A T Scott elevated on a pair of stilts and a rotund and ruddy cheek ed in hobbles who was so at tractive a policeman had to pro tect her against too insistent swains and suitors Jeff and Mutt as imper sonated by Dave Cobb and Linus Stoll was inimitable and Mike Corns the object of their devot ed attentions was impeccably at tired and immeasurably popular George Campbell put the 1414 thru on time and narry a hot box Casey Jones was a winner Th re wa thse inevitable cam 4 and elephant in the parade There were no flies on th se ing McCook car With Bruce Campbell Harold Sutton R II Gatewood Virgie Barbazette in the leading loles the German band captured the pretzels Glmrlie Kelley made a truly charming lion tamer That Tit ian hair subdued the man eater We can state with conclusive- ns that the snake charmer was not Johnnie Morrissey for he as sisted the Immortal Patrick in driving the varmints out of Ire land some years since and he hasnt loiked snakes since A mounted deer was among the attractions in the parade The Wild Man from Barneo was given a realistic expression by Darve Burntet in a makeup quite perfect The caliope was a musical an nex not to be sneezed at with Dusty doing the vocal act The only tragedy of the event was the damage by fire to the piano which was to have been given to the couple married on the platform Incidentally quite a few got an impromptu bath when the fire company got busy The flying machine was not tlu least of the clever improvisations And Bricks mule propelled auit0 well at any rate it was an example of the cart before the mule The lus ball game drew the crowd The unmarried knights jgain met defeat at th hands ot the Benedicts Uncle Toms Cabin in a modernized scene was a parade feature with Aunt Eliza hoofing it and flirting with the crowd to Unci Tom s evident disgust Did You See the Parade Of
