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

Tuesday Evening Edition
PEERLESS PYTHIAN DAY
An Unequaled Celebration bj the Local Member
ship of K h Lodge No 42
Each Feature Greater and Larger than Those of Last 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 course you did
TI13 Star laundry made a
humorous showing
With three bands in the parade
tile music feature was strong
Arthur Wood and his Indian
boys received the glad hand gen
erously
The concert by the company M
orchestra was a much appreciated
part of the evening program
Additional incandescent globes
were struncr across Main avenue
bunch of Indian lads with prop- ait intervals to add to the regular
er stolidity and solemnity city illumination Besides the or-
The knights in vestments and der had an illuminated shield
the ladies in white and order strung across Main avenue from
ors in a handsome float as well their castle hall
as the ladies of the order follow- The onlv accident incident of
the celebration was the injury
sustained by a little daughter of
Henry Roth who sustained a
lacked in action he provided in bruised and sprained ankle when
euteness a seat fell upon which she was
I ou couldnt beat Roy Weid
enhamers bareback lady rider

smile would have given Raphael
sitting
The party who turned in that
fake fire alarm last evening
in the height of the vaudeville
performance was thoughtless to
put it mildly Rushing the fire
department down Main avenue
through a crowd was in itself ex
tremely dangerous aside from
practically nullifying the per-
