WE NEED MORE PEOPLE.
Insworth Star-Journal Suggests That
Everybody Write a Letter.
Ainsworth Star-Journal : We want
lore people. That cry should go up
rom every nook and corner of No-
raska. Our state is as big ns an em-
Ire , and Is capable of supporting a
opulatlon ton times as large. We
i-ant more people and we must uo nf-
er them right away. Take Brown
otinty , for instance. Even the table-
ands In the northern part are not set-
ed up the way they should bo and
here are thousands of unoccupied
cres In the southern part. In fact
here is yet considerable government
and that could be had by complying
1th the stalutes.
The trouble is that the people of
owa , Illinois , Indiana and the other
tales east , whore land is so high ,
on'l know about It. A greal many
icople have come during the post
ear. The people are all pleased.
These could be doing a great service
o their friends east , and this county
nd state as well , by helping to adver-
Ise our good conditions.
The real eslale men , of course , are
olng something. But they could do
more. They could prepare a circular
giving facts concerning our climate ,
alnfall , crop , soil and general condl-
lons. They could have this printed
nd scattered broadcast over the cast
ind lhal would help some.
Every person in wrillng east could
end one of these circulars , and greal
good would resull Iherefrom.
Let us all join in booming Brown
county , and let us strive to quadruple
tier population In the next four years.

Beginning of Plague.

of July celebration referred to in The
News Saturday , " said W. A. Molden-
hauer , ono of Iho pioneer clllzens of
Norfolk.
"Dick Beswick , then fresh from the
circus , was the feature of the day's
celebration. His feats were considered
marvelous by the lllllo Ihrong lhat cel
ebrated the day on the other side of
the river. Heswlck came over from
his Staiilon cotinly homestead for the
celebration.
"Ono incident blurred the enjoy
ment of that first celebration. " Mr.
Moldenhnuer continued. "Before the
afternoon had passed the skies of Mad
ison county wore darkened by a cloud ,
a living cloud of winged creatures , the
grasshoppers that were to prove an
evil plague to the country during the
few years to come. Though many saw
the first grasshoppers In Nebraska
that day , wo all know what the com
ing of the pests meant and the knowl
edge cast something of a gloom over
the latter part of the day. "
