    MEETING AT NEBRASKA CITY
MRS T J GIST PRESIDED DUR
ING THE ENTIRE SESSION
A Cood Program Was Rendered and
the Session was both Profit
able and Enjoyable
Tile sixth annual meeting <>!
the first district of the Nebras
ka Federation of Woman,* dub*
was held at Nebraska City,
March ■J.VJti, and proved to be
one of the most enthusiastic
e or belli in tins <1 istrici
There were about fifty «1 >• 1«
gates, not including \ isitors
and the club women of Nebras
ka City, which brought t h e
number up to about ninety in
attendance that were c I u b
workers.
Mrs. T. ,1. (list ul Kalis < 'ity.
vice-president <>( the first dis
trict, presided during tlie entire
session, in a manner creditable
to herseli and her home town.
She Is a woman of splendid ex
ecutive ability, ready wit and
keen perception, that makes her
meet any disadvantage ami he
equal to the emergency on every
occasion.
< hving to an unavoidable de
lay, Mrs. Cede the state presi
dent, was unable to n ach Ne
braska City in time to give her
address the opening n i g h t,
neither could Mrs. laim be pres
ent to give her response With
out any previous knowledge of
this, Mrs. (list was compelled
to step in and give, not only
her own address, hut also take
the place of both of these ladies
on the program. Her talk be
lore the Kedoration that night
was the best ever heard .it a
district meeting. Her delivery
was easy, her manner dignified,
her logic clear, and her words
were those that would inspire
womanhood with higher ainbi
tions and ideals. She dwelt to
some extent upon the progress
ot the American Woman tin
last tin 1 f century; what had
been accomplished for national
good through her; what was be
fore her now; the blessings of
motherhood and also paid a
beautiful tribute to,Julia Ward
Howe.
Many good thing’s had beciy
provided on the program, a tew
ot which deserves mention The
vocal music l»v Mrsdames Allen,
Homeyer. (lanson and Miss
Harding, was greatly enjoyed
as these ladies all have voices
of unusual beautv.
Frol. \\ . L. Steven* gave iii*
Manual Training lecture and
exhibit Thur*dav night. X <>
one can hear this lecture with
out being convinced that in a mi
al training i* essential in our
public school*.
I'lie number* by pupil* from
tlu‘ school for the blind, awak
ened the sympathy and interest
of all who heard them.
The paper on “Kuben*" the
Flemish painter, written and
read by Mis* Jennie .John*ton,
was above the average in excel
nee Miss Johnsl hi*f
blind all her life, but hereduc;
tion and (accomplishment* are
certainly wonderful.
A choru* of boy* from the In
stitute for the Blind, * a n g
“Come Where the Lillie* Bloom"
with voice* so sweet with melo
dy that it went deep into the
hearts of all who heard them.
L o u i e Ludwick. another
blind student, played a cornet
solo, Shubert'* “Serenade,’'
with unusual tone and execu
tion for one so young and had
labored under such great afflic
tion.
The last evening Mr*. K. B.
Conant of Lincoln, gave her re
cital, “Folk Lore Song* of Five
Nations," with ladies in cos
tume to represent each nation.
Mrs. Conant is an excellent
singer and her recital was well
worth hearing.
Mis* Certrude Mutton of Ne
braska City, a pianist of more
than ordinary ability, played a
composition by Iieinecke,
After repeated requests, Mrs.
.1 IJ Caine of Stella, sang se\'
(eral selections Mrs, Cain has
I a voice so deep and full of mel
jodv, and a style >o charming
I that she endears herself to her
hearers wherever she appears
The ladies of Nebraska Citj
were found to be royal enter
tamers The beautiful homes
ot the cit\ and also the hotels,
were thrown open to the dele
gates. On Friday an elaborate
i luncheon was given them at
I Masonic hall. Covers were laid
(lor one hundred and tmi 'Phis
was followed by an informal re
eeption. After that ail art srs
sion at tin* Kui]»ire theatre was
greatly enjoyed and very in
structive. (ireat pictures in
Dutch and Flemish art were il
lustrated W‘fh t he stereopt icon,
[with short lecture,', on each pic
ture and artist, by members ot
the Nebraska City art club
Another enjoyable t e a ture
was an automobile drive over
the city, to Arbor Lodge, and
out to visit the School for the
I Hind.
W’liat was seen at this jnsti
tution was certainly a great
revelation, and surelv reflects
gnat credit on the patience and
ability of the instructors. One
could* not help leaving with
the heartache, to see so man)*
little lives doomed to miss the
beauties of nature and (.Hod’s
handiwork. Vet it is comfort
ing to know that they are ac
complishing so much, that their
lives are not \ oid ol all pleas
lire.
The last ol the program on
Kriday night was Mrs. (Hist’s
farewell address, as that was
the last time she would appear
as the presiding officer of the
tirst district. Her words were
sincere and earnest and she
leaves the chair with the good
will ol her club sisters, and tlie
district keeping well abreast ol
the work and in good condition.
The meeting was indeed a
benefit and a pleasure to all
who attended and the people of
southeast Nebraska can well
be proud of the standing of the
first district in the state
DICCEST FARM ON EARTH
This Farm Contains 25.640 Acres
of Land
I'he American h’aimer contains
the following account t the Ran
kin farm above St, .Lie, the largest
farm in the world
“Nearly lo years ago an Illinois
Inrun r discovered that land on one
-i I ■ of a state line w is selling at
#20 an acre,while he might buy an
amount on the othei side of the
imaginary dividing mark for less
titan a third that amount. Real
estate men told the fanner that no
railroad would ever go near the
Missouri lands, but he sold his
farm in Illinois and bought all lie
could of the land at St! an acre
‘ Not long ago David Rankin,
who is the man that bought the
cheap act cage, took an inventory
of his possessions in the neighbor
hood of Tarkio, Mo. The inven.
lot v showed 2o,bit) acres, 12.1HH)
i fattening hogs, cattle, vto
horses, more titan loo cottages in
which the employes "f the big
farm were housed, great quantities
of farm machinery and the like.
' rile total figures up : -
tiling like irl,000,0UU in value.
That ditin t include the l,UOO,OtX>
bushels of corn produced annually,
or the I50 miles of tiling and
ditches, some of which had'been
draining the marsh lands of 1<
years ago.
“They say I'm the biggest fann
er in the world.' say.- Rankin, 'and
1 guess it's true. Lots of men
have more land than I, but they
use it for cattle ranges only. Mine
is a farm.'
“Rankin never raises cattle or
furnishes range. He buys the raw
steers front the plains, and fattens
them until worth twice what he
pays for the feeders, as they are
called. He uever sells corn, be
cause by feeding it to cattle, ac
cording to a minute calculation of
his own, he gets more ample re
turns. It is 40 miles from the
nearest to the most distant part of
his farm.
“Mr. Rankin is Scotch-Irish.
He was born in Indiana in rural
poverty. He made his start trad
ing a colt for calves, and raising
the latter into steers. Today he
owns an implement factory, a
municipal water system, a tele
phone company, a bank and other
enterprises in addition tohis farm."

COLD PROPOSITION
Some bankers pride themselves on the fact that they have by
tlie austerity of their manner,secured such a title as the above, They
are ijuite welcome to it. we have no desire to cultivate any such
characteristics. Personally we do not care to do business with
“cold proposition-.and what is true of us is true of others. V e
are not tnind readers, but we know something about men and are
aware that certain things repel and certain other things attract.
This bank and its officers are but the servents to serve, not to play
“freeze out.' We cannot always do all that -ome of our customers
wish us to, but when «e cannot we explain why, and do it in such a
manner as not to give offense. Some of the firmest friends this
bank ha- are men whose views on certain things wt could not fully
meet at the start, but they were men of reason and sound sense, and
when we explained why we could not they saw the point, were won
by our evident desire to be fair with them while we remained true to
every interest of the bank, and this made tiiem feel that this bank
was a good one to tie to. Now they are tied so fast they will proba
bly never get loose. We hope not any rate.
