It is our effort to seb i I ns largely as possible only those hems of news that will advantage, as well us inter est our readers. However there are unpleasant happenings that need he told. It is good for the people to know certain ugly truths, though un pleasant and bitter to hear. Fur ther more we do not take kindly to being intimidated, when violaters of the law add the unpardonable blun der of threatening us to their other ains, we feel constrained to speak out Wo cannot understand how men can go on in their deviltry dally breaking the In arts of their loved j one , without a pang of remorse, so long as they are not caught, but the day they are exposed they begin to beg for lienency, for their good wives and mothers, ami respectable friends' sake. Their behavior is too base and cowardly to be given a moments consideration. Why did they not con sider their weeping, heart broken ones living in dally torture because of the very shame of it all, before the strong hand of publicity threat oned them? DON’T SHIRK THE CURE. When' I do n dirty Job, making ray self liable to be held tip as a public example or exposing myself to ridi cole and contempt, 1 hope to have manhood enough to take my medicine ■without whimpering. The disposition of Kalis City delinquents when caught to whine and crawfish, is to my mind most detestable. If gambling is un honorable business, no one need be ashamed to have hi» name published In connection with a general round up. If on tin* other hand it is a breech of law and good morals, and an offense against society and the state, it is to the interest of the of fender to fell, and feel keenly, the smart, of public castigation. There are times when nothing will do a. boy as much good ns a sound spanking. As he grows older and wiser, he looks upon these experi ences as among the most helpful of bis life. There are times when such an old time laying on of the shingle is os good medicine for our souls. We heartily despise the disposition of sonic of our very respectable friends to dodge th(> cure. Take it boys, like heroes, it will do you good. We are printing these tilings for your own good, and we hope* you are big vnough to appreciate our pains. * * * INDIANS AND RESPECTABLES.

The result is disastrous to the country and of no possible ad vantage to the city. The farmer of today borrows a large per cent of his pleasures, his ideals, his methods, his morals, from the city. Naturally his tastes develop along lines that are entirely out of sympathy with his actual surroundings. Is it any won der then, if country boys and girls jgrow restless, dissatisfied and hurry off to town every opportunity that offers Why should not farmer boys and | girls have games for their own amue -( mi nt the same as city boys? The objection Is raised that there is no time. The hoy, and the man for that matter, finds time to go to town to see tlie show, tile hall game. the questionable play, etc. How much bet ter if tlie game was played in the country, by tlie country boys, witli a country crowd. All the possible good of tin thing would thus be gotten out of it and the abuses avoid ed. All work and no play makes .rack a dull boy." This simple truth no doubt will account for tlie lack of elasticity on tlie part of most coun try people. They grow up among the cattle and they allow themselves about as wide a range. Tlie children are kept on the grind until they be come like minded or run away to town. Your country boy hitches up, dons ills best and hit's away to town. There is no other place to which he can go The country offers him lit tle or nothing, in town every tiling is different, there boon compan ions waiting for him. Public amuse merit challenge him on every corner lie may be awkward but nobody no tices it. lie may be unlettered, but his cash speaks for him. lie is a hale, good fellow ill every turn. Is it any wonder ho likes to go to town, becomes citified and likely a boor. Let the country cease borrowing from the city. Let country people begin to develop their own resources socially as they already are develop ing them economically. The country ran he independent of the city and must In order to be nt her lies! Let country people»lie true to their call ing and life. Let the country schools and churches he countrified. Tench and preach the ideas and truths that milk ■ for tin- country gentleman and the country lady. ■ THE FARMERS’ SIDE. One of tlie objections to County Op tion raised by wet towns, is that it gives the farmer tlie right to vote the town dry. This, of course is true, and at ft! st sight does look jug-handled and unfair. lint there is another side to Oils ipiestfon. A side which the i ity people have been abusing for generations, and it is only fair to tic farmer that after yoarrs of in justice and abuse he is coming into his own. County Option gives tin- farmer the sam > rights in relation to the town, that tlie city man lias been exercis ing towards tlie farmer. As long as the cities were free to make men beastly drunk and send them in this condition to their homes in the coun try to abuse their families and their neighbors, they did not raise the cry of unfair. Cor years the saloons have set (heir traps to snare the farmer boys, gouge them of their mon ey, and ruin them body and soul. The city 1ms taxed and still is taxing the saloon for the privilege of grinding its develish grist. In turn the farmer is taxed to pay court costs to take care of the product of the saloon. The farmer lias been the sufferer in every way. It is therefore but simple justice that the farmer be given opportunity to defend himself atul his property. NEBRASKA. Some Things That The Nebraskan Should Scatter Broadcast. A well known publicist lias describ ed a “bonanza'' as being “a holt* in the ground for sale by a liar." The definition is tsuo only in part— a "bonanza" is not nlways a hole in the ground. People who are looking for "get-ricli-guiek" schemes need not look to Nebraska. But people who are looking for homes in a land where the soil is fertile, where the air is pure, where educational facil ities are best, and where the toil of ■he husbandman or the industry of the manufacturer is rewarded in bounteous measure—people looking tor homes in that kind of a country should study Nebraska. Here are a few fives about Nebras ka that homeseekers should study, and which loyal. Nebraskans should scatter to the four corners of the earth: Nebraska raises more wheat, oats, barley, corn and alfalfa to the acre than any other state in the union. ,ln 1909 the average yield of wheat per acre in the United Suites was 15.8 bushel; the Nebraska average was 20.1. In 1909 the average yield of corn per acre in the United States was 25.7 bush'd*; the Nebraska average was 25.7, In 1909 the average yield of hay per acre in the United States was 1.12 tons per acre; the Nebraska average was 2.22. Nebraska soil is peculiarly adapted to the growing of every cereal and fruit that may profitably be raised in the t*?mpc-rate zone. It is “the buckle of the corn belt of the world.-* It is the third largest com producing state In the union, with a smaller corn acreage than either of the state* that arc ahead of it in total produc tion. A decade ago Nebraska was not i ounted among the wheat producing states. Today it is the fourth wheat producing state in the Union, and raises more wheat to the acre than cither of tlie three stales exceeding it in total production. The two states that excel Nebras ka in corn production were old and well settled states before Nebraska was admitted into the Union. Of the the three states that excel Nebraska in the total of wheat produced, two were old and well settled before Ne braska was admitted, If Nebraska can rank this high so early in her history, what will her position he at the close of the first quarter of the present century? There is a difference between “cheap land" and “low priced" land. There is very little “cheap land” in Nebraska. Hut. there is a great deal of “low priced land"—land that may tie secured at a low price on easy payments, and which will pro duce abundantly. .Millions of acres of raw land are obtainable—land that lias never been touched by the plow, and which is as fertile as any the sun ever shone upon. With the ad vent of intensive farming the "big farm” is disappearing, and its place is Ic ing taken by the small farms. This means that there are hundreds of thousands of acres of improved farm land upon the market, obtain able at a reasonable price and upon good terms. Kvery year hundreds of farmers are etiing, amply rewarded for their long years of labor, andn lheir land holdings are for sale. The home seeker need look no further than Nebraska. The far northwest is famous lor wheat, but Nebraska went lands are just as pro ductive and in addition Nebraska soil will grow corn, oats, rye, barley,, al falfa, potatoes, etc, just as profusely as it grows wheat. There are approximately 411,000,000 acres in Nebraska. Twenty-five mil lion acres are as yet untilled. Let the hotneseeker investigate Ne braska. Nebraskans simply say to all inquirers, “come and see!” There is land in Nebraska, subject to homestead. Write to the United States Land office Lincoln, Nebraska, for information. I*or farm land.

Itaih er light receipts of cattle for the past month or more, have prevented pack ers from storing up much dressed meat in coolers, and when the de mand from consumers began to in crease two weeks ago, the reserve supply was soon exhausted, and kill ers have been forced to exhibit anx iety for supplies recently. Receipts from Native and Western territory continue moderate, and tilt' flux of tattle from quarantine territory now coming to market is not large enough previous to today to relievo the strain. The market lias, therefore, made fairly good gain each of the pas two weeks, the advance last week 25 cents on tiost fed steers, and 25 to 5o cents on butcher grades. The stockers and feeders remained about steady, as present prices are one dollar higher than a year ago. and buyers hold some skepticism about cattle paying out at prevailing prices. The supply today was above expecta tions, 19,000 head here, half of which are in the quarantine division. Best steers are stead to a shade lower, account of scarcity, top sales to day at $8.45, S'* 35 and $8.20. Medi um cattle are off 10 to 25 cents to day, bulk of steers at $0.40 to $7.50, plain light steers downward to $5.50, cows at $3,50 to $6.50, heifers $4.50 to $7.60, bulls $3.75 to $5.90, calves $4.50 to $8.25, stockers $4 40 to $5.80, feeders $5.00 to $6.25. After considerable fluctuating hogs closed last week in the same notch as close of previous week. Heavy weights lost some prestige during the week, the lights seem to be slated to take the lend in the near future. The run is 9,000 here today, liberal else where, and packers seized the chance to enforce a decline, ranging from 10 to 16 cents, top hogs at $9.311-2. which is only 12!j cents under Chi cago top today, hulk of sales here $9.20 to $9.30. Shipping demand is good, as many small plants heretofore closed for a season, are opening tip, having decided that no money can be made by not running. Competition is therefore better, and packers who talked of putting up their droves shortly at nine dollars have ervised heir ideas during the last week. J. A. RICKART, Live Stock Cor.

One of the most indefatigable work ers is that homely thing, the angle worm And he always makes liis work Count for us. Have you ever been out of a morning and found the earth all burrowed full of holes in Hie garden or 1 lie back yard? Per haps you have wondered what did it all. And you were surprised to be told that the angleworm lias been boring away all night long there1. And what for? I am sure you will a&k. It may be nobody knows just what lie does mean to do; but one thing lie surely does do. and that is, he loos ens the earth up wherever he goes, so that it is far more "crumbly,” and so more easily tilled. Not only that. The angleworm brings up from far down in earth soil that never has been used in growing crops. You know the surface of our lands is al ways under the harrow, and so it in time becomes exhausted. The angle worm gives us new soil, richer, more easy to work, and so calculated to produce bettor crops. Some people who have watched this ugly creature say he stirs immense loads of earth every year. They have even given us their word that on an acre, every year, angleworms digest ten tons of earth. What a worker our friend is! —Selected. | WEDDING| I o Mark the Day you call her thine, the handsom est engagement ring you can af ford is none too good.

Simpson North Window Kerrs Pharmacy SIMPLY A MATTER OF LuGiC Relative Growth of Corn in Straight and Crooked Furrows Easily Accounted For. He was a long, lank mountaineer, leaning on the log "rider” of a log : ‘fence in the shade of an Ozark post toak. Behind him, hitched to a difipi i dated plow, two bony mules, with drooping ears and lazily flapping tails, drowsed in the sun, “Fine crop of corn you’ve got there," said the passer-by, who had stopped for a drink from the gourd dipper at the Bpring. “But aren’t those rows rather crooked?” "I reckon so,” answered the farmer, surveying the straggling rows of dis couraged looking corn. "Yes, they're right smart crooked. 1 reckon it'd break ary snake In two to foller them rows.” “What’s the reason?" inquired the one thirsting for information. “Isn’t it just as easy to make ’em straight?" The “native" shifted his “gains” on his shoulder, and changed his quid of tobacco from one cheek to the other. "Wall, you see, stranger,” he Im parted confidentially. “A heap more corn’ll grow in crooked rows than in straight ones." “You don't say! How do you ac count for that?" Flapping the rope lines over the mules’ backs and preparing to make another furrow across the corn patch, the mountaineer replied: “There’s a heap more crooked rows than there's straight ones. Haw, Buck, git up,” he said. SALESMAN HAD BRIGHT IDEA His Knowledge of Human Nature En abled Him to Rise to Head of His Profession. “Young man,” says the automobile manufacturer to the new salesman who has astonished the organization by the rapid fire sales he has made in the two months of his employment, “I must congratulate you on your work.” “Thank you. sir," replies the new salesman, modestly. “I know we build the best auto In the market," says the manufacturer, “but even at that 1 cannot under stand how you can sell ten times as many machines as the very best man we have had prior to you. How do you do it?” “Well, sir," explains the new sales man, the light of honest pride in his eyes, “1 always ask the customer to take a ride in one of our machines as the first move toward getting acquaint ed with its riding qualities. Of course he accepts the invitation. I then take him out on the boulevard and get ar rested and fined for fast running. Aft er that there is no argument.” Ten minutes later the new salesman leaves the private office with a block of preferred stock tucked away in his inside pocket.—Judge's Library. First English Horse Races. Chester possesses plausible claims to be the birthplace of the British turf. It was one William Lester, who about 1609, “being mayor of Chester, did cause three silver bells to be made of good value to be run for upon the Roode Dee.” This seems the earliest definite es tablishment of a horse race. From the nature of the prize was derived the proverb “To bear the bell," though the bells in this case existed long before the “ring.” Our ances tors being more easily satisfied in the matter of amusement than their degenerate descendants there was ap parently only one contest The “Ches ter cup,” which has been substituted |for the "best bell,” is now worth £2,500, to say nothing of Cheshire cheeses for the three placed horses.— Westminster Gazette. One-Sided Cities. If streets are one-sided, cities are, too. No one, as far as the present writer knows, lias ever attempted to give an explanation of the fact that when a town sits astride a river that flows east and west, the north side has a monopoly of the best streets. It certainly is so in London, as it was in ancient Rome. Glasgow is another case in point. In Paris too, the north side of the river has distinctly the ad vantage of the south. As for New castle-on-Tyne, its general attitude to ward this overgrown and rather grimy quarter on the south bank of the Tyne is that of one who says, "Can any good thing come out of Gateshead?" Why should this be so? And why should the west end of every city you can find on the map be, from a social point of view, far removed from the east? Why is not Whitechapel Road Piccadilly? To the unprejudiced ear the names ring with equal music.— London Chronicle. Unacquainted With Romance. Being a poet, Tennyson was natu rally opposed to the stern realism of the present day. "Scientiflc knowl edge," said he, "is spreading, and is crushing all the romance out of chil dren's lives. It was only yesterday,” he continued, "I was walking in the fields with one of my nephews—a lit tle chap of ten—when we came to one of those peculiar circles which the country people call 'fairy rings.’ 'Look', I said; ‘look here, my boy; here is a fairy ring.' 'A what, uncle?' he said. ‘Why, a fairy ring! The old folks would tell you that these fairy r ngs are so called because the fairies were dancing here last night.' Oh, uncle,’ he replied, quite gravely, it is quite well known that these lairy rings, as you call them, are caused by . n>ecies of fungus.’ ’’ SHOWS BENEFITS OF YAWNING Has Great Value in Diseases of the Throat—Strengthens Respira tory Murc'es. Dr. Emil Bunz! of Vienna, in speak ing of diseases of ihe throat and rem edies, said that yawning hail its great, value. Yawning has recently been recommended independently as a val uable exercise for the respiratory or gans. “According to Pr. Naegll, of the Uni versity of Puetticb.” said Dr. Buuzl, “yawning bring? all the respiratory rmuscles of the chert and throat into 'action and is, therefore, the best and nnost natural means of strengthening them. He advises everybody to yawn as deeply as possible, with arms out stretched, in order to change com pletely the air In the lungs and stimu late respiration. In many cases lie has found the' practise lo relieve the difficulty in swallowing and disturb ance of the sense of hearing that ac company catarrh of the throat. The patient is induced to yawn through suggestion, imitation of a preliminary exercise in deep breathing. ' “Each treatment consists of from six to eight yawns, each followed by the operation of swallowing. It should be added, however, that it is quite possible for deep breathing to bo overdone, particularly by persons with weak hparts and it is at least open to question whether the ob stacles to free respiration, which the yawning cure is alleged to remove, are not useful in preventing the en trance of germs and other foreign bodies." — REAL NECESSITY OF THE AGE Misguided People Who Would Abol ish Poverty Herein Shown the Error of Their Ways. i Forgive those who would abolish i poverty, for they know not what they do. To abolish poverty would hurt business immeasurably. There are a j great many people who get their live lihood by dispensing charity. If pov | erty were abolished, they would have ■ to join the army of the unemployed. Furthermore, all the technical Knowl ! edge of how to assist a pauper with I out pauperizing him would be wasted. Then there is another end to It. I When a man gets rich he invariably i has two tasks before him. First, to ! build and try to Inhabit a larger house i than any other man ever built and i tried to inhabit, and, second, to en gage in some unique and picturesque charitable enterprise. A reporter, serving up a modern quick lunch bi ography of rich magnates, would be entirely at sea if he could not cata logue the beneficent activities of the said magnates. What would a poor rich man’s life be worth if he could not give a little of his too much in order that he might pass down into the files of history as one who loved the poor, one who loved (he poor so much that he got immense ly rich and thus set them a shining ex ample, besides offering them generous hand-outs? Without poverty, no charity, and the three graces would become a duet. Hinc illae lachrymae.—New York Times. - ■ The Languages of Paradise. Every language has Its admirers; In "Lucile” the author, Owen Meredith, maintained that when he heard French spoken as he approved he "found him self quietly falling in love.” Edward Hutton is another instance of this lin gual fascination. In stating his prefer ence in his enchanting “Cities of Spain,” he recalls an interesting medieval legend. He says: “And as i listened to the splendid syllables of the Castilian tongue that rang eloquently through the twilight I remembered the saying of that old Spanish doctor of whom James How ell tells us in his ‘Instructions for Forraine Travell,’ to wit, that Spanish, Italian and French, these three daugh ters of the Latin language, were1 spoken in Paradise; that Hod Al mighty created the world In Spanish, the tempter persuaded Eve in Italian and Adam begged pardon in French." —Youth’s Companion. Worth Remembering. Many a man, like the ancient Per sian, Ali Hafed, who wishing to be rich and place his children on thrones through the influence of wealth, has searched in vain north, south, east and west, when there were acres of diamonds on the old farm, found there by the observant man, who dug in his own garden. Your fortune is in the shop where you work, in the store where you wait, in the house where you sit, or on the farm where you cul tivate the soil. Y’our riches are with in your present reach. There are riches in every rubbish heap. Only to the mummified, conservative, vision less traditionalist no more progress is possible. You cannot do better any where than just where you are. What you need, others need. Artist and His Work. The great artists, like the great heroes, have always done whatever came to hand. Michelangelo grumbled and said he was a sculptor when Julius II. set him to paint, but he painted the roof qf the Sistine chapel. Shakespeare chafed at the popularity of the fool in the drama of his time, and then produced the fool in “Lear.” If either of them had waited for per fect conditions and an inspiration un trammeled by circumstance he would have done nothing They produced masterpieces because they made the best of things as they were. And this is the business ot thp artist in life
