Up to July 4 the republicans usu ly Ht-rap. After that they prefer overlook family disagreements ratli than see a bankrupt party appoint received for Uncle Sam. The jobbers of political merchandl nre now planning styles and fnshlo lor the fall of ' 10 , and soon the pi pie 'will walk up and purchase meekly as the women accept t vrblms of Paris. Commuters around New York fit railroad rates. However , farmers a business men all over the country r taxed so New Yorkers can enjoy in ropolltnn business chances and rui cheapness at once. An English nobleman announces Is willing to marry u beautiful a wealthy American girl. There f thousands of bright young men rip liero at homo that would be tickl to death at the chance. The politicians are making pllgri ages to Oyster Bay , like the Mohn mcdans to the tomb of the propl nt Mecca , and to many the gleam the Roosoveltlan teeth is about fertile as the sun baked Arab sands In 1912 Spain is to have an int national exhibition at Bclboa in hi or of one Christopher Columbus.

In many the states they would be careful select jurors of such a quality tl there would be little fear of such catastrophe. Colonel Roosevelt Is evldentaly g ting ready for a strenuous fall si EOH. He has already promised to spe In Massachusetts , Indiana and N < York , with all the balance of t country to hear from. The loss from forest fires duri the dry spring and early summer w serve as an urgent reminder to t conservationists that here is one i portant source of waste which nu be prevented in every possible way , If a dollar bill yields nlnety-t' million microbes , as stated by govei inont experts , how many would twenty or fifty have ? Yet there n people so foolhardy ns to carry bl of large dimensions. King George is "making good' lor King George. He already as ? C5,000 more a year than they ga King Edward. But Englishmen ha n great craving for royalty , and if comes high they will appreciate it the more. The Philippine Islands have be under American control for ten yen nnd the transformation towards pn perity nnd civilization that has tak place is wonderful. Using Preside McKinley's words "benevolent ussii latlon" has been a great success. The South American countries ti all increasing their naval nrmnmcn If the old saw "look for toruble a you'll find It" holds true of natioi it begins to look as if the whole woi would soon see perilous times. Colonel Bryan is rushing ahead bis party on the county option plar nnd whether he will be able to dr his party after him is exceeding doubtful. The democrats of the nor Lave never been noted for their stro anti-liquor sentiment. The secretary of the treasury ( plains that there would have been surplus at the close of the fiscal ye on June 30 , If he hadn't paid out t money for something else. The seci tary should be Informed that Urn Sam still trots lit the majority class. Physicians are experimenting wi n new anti-typhoid serum which , injected , into the upper arm , will re tier the patient immune to this drei disease.

Among tin that of n North Carolina man w died while plowing his field on ini pendcncc day. And plowing Is i coiiHldered a dangerous pastime , el or. Mrs. Frances Cleveland was pr cut at the breaking of ground for t new library to be named In her hoi at Wells college , Now York , whc she graduated as a girl.

The valuation of real estate a special franchises which are class as real estate in New York City hi ; Increased during the last year $2 ! 000,000. In round figures the nsse ed value of real estate including n road corporation property nnd fri chlscs in the American metropc reaches the enormous total of $7,0' 000,000. John D. Rockefeller declares tl the time has come for a single denoi nation for all Christians , and tl there is room for them all In 1 Baptist. John D. doesn't seem to r llze that state after state is gel "dry , " and that an attempt to ph them In the "wet" column would i succeed. The Union Pacific railroad compa Is operating a correspondence scln for the benefit of its 20,000 employ The benefit of such a scheme out to be threefold. The public ought receive better service from the n road , the road should get better we from the employe , nnd the emplc ought to become fitted for a bet paying position. Mexico has consented to act mediator between Nicaragua and I United States. .It. will relieve t government of a very disngreea' duty If Mexico administers the spni ing which Nicaragua is in crying ne of , nnd it is quite evident that Mf co will thoroughly enjoy giving 1 needed discipline. Diaz' governnu is specially designed for dealing w such problems and has had wide p'erience. ' Down near Port Arthur , Texas , 1 mosquitoes are so thick that ma people are seriously ill from th bites. Two big oil refineries hr shut down that their men might cape the mosquitoes , and 10,000 b rels of oil have been donated by 1 oil companies to cover The surface ponds , swamps and other breed ! places. In the northwest It is so i that mosquitoes are very scarce alas , are the crops. One happy change nas come to Ci stantinople since the young Turks f holding sway that is the exterml : tion of a large share of the dogs whl thronged the streets. They were lowed for years to throng the stre < by thousands , because of the we they performed as scavengers. I since the city has become sufliclen civilized to possess a sewerage s tern , open plumbing and regular g bage collectors , thousands of vagrr dogs have been disposed of by t authorities. The steel passenger coach Is fi supercedlng the old wooden coa The railroads which advertise sti coaches are likely to benefit largi from It , thus persuading their comp < tors to get similar equipment. T steel conch has many advantages , I the most important is that It cam be burned , or crushed Into deai splinters , in a wreck. They are a easier to keep clean nnd afford fe er hiding places for germs. In a c llslon the steel car stands the imp : better than any device yet contriv < The day of the wooden coach is she If William Loeb becomes the repi llcan candidate for governor of N York , as now seems probable , his el tlon would almost surely result , sir lie would have behind him t strength of the administration Washington , together with the c dial support of the Roosevelt folk ing. His nomination under these ci ditions will be not only good politl but it will -exceedingly good i the state of New York to elect h as chief "executive. What the emp state needs Is a law enforcer nnd tl is what Mr. Loeb has proven liltns to be. THE "RAIN BELT. " They used to tell us that weste Nebraska anywhere west of Madis county washout of the rain belt ; n that the Rosebud in Dakota nev could get into It. The rain guago would show tl year that that region "out of the ra belt" has bad a heap sight more rr than that territory in the rain belt , than a good many eastern nnd in die western states that used to bon about their own superiority. And crops in the country "out the rain belt" nre going to be gee too. AGAIN THE GARDEN SPOT. While other portions of Amor ! are Buffering from drouth , settle even leaving some small grain locn tiee because of lack of crops , it fal to northern Nebraska and pouthei South Dakota once more to becon the garden spot of the world. Corn IB king in this great , rich lie and the corn crop this year promts to be the very best that ever wi known. Weather has been Ideal f < corn throughout the season , hot ni abundant moisture to soak down at feed the thirsty roots. It's a rare delight to travel ov this territory today and to look at tl rich green fields of cornstalks , Bhoul or high and strongly built , waving forecast of prosperity to the forme and to the business Interests nt lari of this great northwest. There's been enough moisture the right times to insure a bountlf harvest of small grain , but the gre backbone of this region Is corn , ai the cornfields today are a beautlf sight to Bee. They point to big bu ness in the fall. TO MOVE REAL ESTATE. Have you some real estate that yi want to flell ? It is easy enough. Many people who have for sn houses or business properties wor ? r.,000 , will hesitate about a little a vertlsement costing but a few di lars , nnd In the end sacrifice hundre because they did not take the pal ; through advertising to llml some mi who really wanted the property. There are n lot of people son ! where who want just the kind of thing you own , and want It badly , is worth paying the newspaper w < if It can find not merely the mi who would buy If you sacrifice , b the man who is looking for just th kind of thing nnd will pay almost ni price , if he finds just what he wani Hundreds of people read the re estate advertising every day , mere for the pleasure of imagining th they own the properties advertise A well written notice , giving the o act detail of your farm , location , business , will set hundreds of peoji to wishing they had it. Is that n more hopeful than to/ trust only the questionable energy of your re estate agent , and then pay him u b commission on the sale , wlujp ] makes it at a sacrifice ? THE FLYING MACHINE. Ton years ago the automobile wi no further advanced than the fiyli machine is today. Ten years hen the flying machine will be moro _ coi mon than the automobile is now ; I cause of its immensely smaller fir cost and cost of maintenance. Na1 gatlon of the air has been accomplis ed at last. The transformation has come abe with surprising suddenness. For sc oral centuries men have been expe menting with balloons , without ma ing much progress. Then came tl aeroplanes , with their great possibi ties of dirigibility. Finally , the d velopment of the gasoline englne'ga' a motive power nt once strong ni light , and the whole problem was the solved. The flying machine today no longer a novelty and no longer toy. toy.In In every part of this country fllgh are being made almost every day 1 ambitious pioneers of the air. : Germany the carriage of passenge as a commercial venture has alreae begun. Within the past yi-.ir the n \i' 'e in tre control nf trieleui i"i ha.-- been wo-icVfi'l. Wh"i iite V/n l brothers begtm to starlit.1 tinui irti only yesterday as it seems th < kept control of their machines on because years of practice had mac them expert. They kept them in tl air with difficulty and at great ris of life ; and for any one less skillf to meddle with them might bo sudd ( death. Now the aviator can learn h trade almost as easily as the chav four or the motorman. He is in i more danger , ho can make his m chine do anything that ho wants , ni about the only field remaining to 1 conquered is the problem of easy bt nnclng when winds are high or a verse. It appears to be a certainty th practically everybody will fly In a fe years hence. The miracle has becon n spectacle , the spectacle changed n plaything , and already the playthii Is transforming itself Into the dal Instrument of business and plensur With nil these facts happening in tl plain sight of everybody , it Is nma ing that nothing has been done in a vance toward the framing of that vei largo body of legislation that mu be adopted for the public protectle when flying Is as general as the us of the automobile is today. BOYD'S CANDIDACY. The announcement of the cnndlda < of Judge Boyd for the republic ! ) nomination for congress in the Thli district , will clear the atmosphere ar should mean the return of tlio Thii to the republican column. , Judge Boyd was a strong represe tatlve In the lower house of congres He went down to defeat in the Brya wave that swept over Nebraska tv , years ago a wave that swept ov ( all party lines. And since then Mr. Lntta has den onstratcd that he is a failure as a re ] resentative of the people of the Thlr district. A banker with a big chec book , he will probably make n strei uous fight to retain his scat. But th people of this district are going t want to know a few things , and whe Mr. Latta gets to explaining , his chec book may not help. For example , bet democrats nnd republicans are gel to be Interested in knowing why was that Mr. Latta allowed his o\ private Interests as a banker to ovi rldo the party Instructions he h been given , on the postal bank bl l.attn was one of the few congressm who voted against the bill. His bai Ing lute-rests were of more Importnn to him than any thought of the Th ! district. Judge Uoyd's record IB a good o and there seems every reason to 1 lleve that he will win both the 1101 nation and election. AROUND TOWN. Some cool breeze , that. Who really owns that good lookl Bummer they're wearing C. E. B. John R. H. ? Charlie Groesbeck , jr. , has a weeks-old coon that answers to t name of "Jack Johnson. " Can't use that $10 golf offer , thnnl Don't care to get Into the professloi class and be barred from intcrnatloi tournaments. One of these days some democra county convention will make the m take of endorsing the party of "J fries and Johnson" Instead of Jeff son and Jackson. It doesn't seem natural to see I. Macy running around in an auton bile. Seems as though he ought to bending over a lot of negatives in tl : photograph gallery. A news item said yesterday tli "some golf player will get $10 fornu ing a Bogey score of 41. " It Is cc ceded without argument that whoev gets Braden's prize will be "som golf player. Correction : This column said y < terciay that "the old man" of T News had "packed ills pajamas" a gone to Omaha. Reliable Informatl now says that the old man never wo pajamas In his life he still clings the old fashioned nightshirt. Although a married man , a Norfc shoe clerk believes ho is making big lilt with the Indies. A few da ago an out-of-town customer at t shoe store called to have a pair shoes fitted. She left the btore wil out making a purchase. \ day lat she called and askeil for the Kind &h clerk who waited on Imr the prevlo day , to bid him goo-l-by. In the absence of "the old mai who has packed his pajamas Into grip and -gone to Omaha to make speech before the national convent ! of tlie Associated Ad Clubs of AUK lea , The News force , from the olll boy down , arc today feeling that t : gle of joy and pride which comes human hearts when human eyes s their owners' names "in the paper , " For The News got "Its name In t paper" yesterday in the other f low's paper. It was on the front pa of the Omaha Sunday Bee and thei along with the generous story frc the flowing typewriter of the genl managing editor. Col. T. W. McCi lough , was a picture of "the chief e glneer" of The Norfolk News , as t : Bee put It. W. N. Huso. This Is wh the Bee so kindly said : W. N. Huso of The Norfolk News on the program for the ad men's cc vention this week , being scheduled talk on Tuesday afternoon on "T ! Country Newspaper as an Advertlsli Medium. " What Mr. Huse does n know about his topic has been to out of the book. He can also tell t : ad men some other things of Intere about a country newspaper , for he h been the chief engineer of a live wi proposition in Nebraska since the da , when his section of the country w really on the frontier. It will be ea for him to regale the eastern Tislto with some stories of the day win editing a newspaper in Nebrasl didn't mean picking nt a typewriter dictating to a stenographer , while ti compositor rattles the beyboard on typesetting machine. Mr. lluse begi the publication of Ills newspaper bai in the really pioneer clays of the nort ern part of the state , and has stuck out through all the hardships and p vatlons of development and growt he has watched the Indiali recede I fore the tide of the white man's coi ing ; has seen the seservations opem and settled , and has watched tl building up of a prosperous and pi gresslve community from what was mere venture at city-planting when 1 cast his fortunes with the thriving v lage of Norfolk. In all of these even he has had the part of a vigorous ai aggressive editor , and while his tor tory has grown his business has I creased until the little weekly he s out with more than a quarter of a ce tury ago Is now one of the brighte nnd most progressive of the dnili published In Nebraska.

The Modern Kitche : By EDITH G. CHARLTON , la Charge of Domeitjc Economy , lo State College. Copyright. 1910 , by American Prcn Aitoclilion. the Importance CONSIDERING to the rout of t home , It Bceuis strange that should very often be the lor attractive room from every point view in the house. We find it tuck off In some dark corner with little no ventilation , its wall nnd floor cc urlng dark and dingy nnd ita c-qul inont so meager it would be linpossll to find any pleasure In working wl them. Tin1 kitchen Is the workroom of t home. Its arrangement , pleasant otherwise , very often gives the kc note of conditions In the home. A Idt-a ofa real kitchen Is this : bhould be as bright and cheery as ai room In the house. I would much pi for a gloomy parlor than a dark , u pleasant kitchen. If possible 1 shou have a north and east exposure. Tl : would insure sunlight in the mornli and a cool breeze on hot Rummer afu noons. Then 1 should be careful have n good view from the kltchi window , something beautiful to lex out upon , like a stately tree , n bit green lawn or a trim vegetable garde The outlook from , kitchens In tow : and cities Is too often brick walls adjoining buildings , untidy bad ; yan or high board fences. From kltchei in the country we often look out up < an unsightly woodpile or barnyai Illlod with a clutter of old farm Impl mon Is. With such dally views It Is i wonder If the women , who must spot three-fourths of their time In tl kitchen , have very little love for nous work. There should be nt least two wl UOWH and. If possible , an outside rtoi opposite ones window in order to ha' ' good ventilation nt all times. Tl kitchen should not bu unneeessari large , but its size will depend on tl number of persons In the family ai the amount of work that Is to be doi PLAN OF MODEL KITCHEN ln It. Too much space between tl different pieces of furniture necess tales too many unnecessary steps , suitable moderate sized kitchen about 12 by M feet. The kitchen should be convenient I the dining room , either opening dlrcc ly Into It or. still better , having tl pantry between the rooms. In the hi ter case there should be a cupboar with sliding doors opening into bet kitchen and pantry for conveniem in sc'tting the table nnd removin dishes to the kitchen. The cut give n plan of a convenient kitchen , shov ing position of windows and door also the larger pieces of furniture. In this plan note the position of tl : refrigerator , which can be reache from the outside so that Ice may t put Into it without coming Into tl : kitchen. There Is also a window I the cool room to which a window cuj board can be attached. This rooi with Its cupboard will take the plac of the refrigerator In winter nnd ma be used as n baking room in he weather. The sink , with draining board , is li cated on the side next the pantr ; Sliding doors are arranged at the bac so that dishes washed In the sink ma be placed on the pantry shelves will out going into the pantry itself. Ai other convenient feature in the ni rnngement of this kitchen Is the pos tlon of windows between range an work table , giving good light and vei Illation. If possible avoid having door leading upstairs opening In th kitchen , because In such cases it Is n most impossible to keep the odors o cooking from penetrating to the uj atatrs rooms. Wall and Floor Covering. The kitchen to bo sanitary In ever particular should be finished In som way that will permit of frequent wasl ing. The best wall covering is the slu plest and most easily cared for mate rial that can be purchased. There i nothing better for this purpose tha sanltas , n material similar to ollclotl The first cost is n little more tha : paint or tinting , but when carefull ; applied It Is more lasting. Sanltns 1 put on with paste in horizontal strip nroutul the room. The edge of eac piece must be pasted down sccurelj nud care should be taken to avoli wrinkles. If a tnblcspoonful of me lasses Is added to each quart of past it will stick moro firmly. The painted wall Js suitable fo kitchen and pantry provided a fla finish is glve-n ami a color used In prel erenco to whltn. A glossy surface , par tlcularly a white one , is bard on th eyes nnd becomes very mouotonouc Wall paper Is not a desirable coverlni for n kitchen wall because it absorb moisture uud odors and cannot l > cleaned satisfactorily. Kor the floor the bent corrrliiK la in Inld linoleum. Tills to my ml ml In better than the1 pollNhed floor , which In nlwayn Hllppery and IH himl on the ; foot. Tlit-M thereIH the imlntoil tle > e > r , which has both advantage : * atul illn- lulvuntiiKCH , chief among the latter be ing not vc-ry durableeiualltles. . The kltche'ii tleior nhi > uld not be * covere-el with carpet , lic'cniiHc that IH Insani tary , neither xliemlel It bu dovold or any covering and HO require scrubbing. This Is one of the Itenm of work which Hhould be eliminated from the house- keeper's schedule. The white Hiindeel floors , tables , etc. , nro attractive to the eye and a joy to a certain type or houKokce-pcr , but they represent too much energy nnd labor to be Included in modern methods. Floors should be > covere-d with BOIIIC tnnte'rlnl canlly cleaned , and tables. Kinks , shelves , etc. , should be painted or covered with zinc , tile or oilcloth. The zinc table nnd the tile Rink arc n lasting pleasure and lessen work to mich un extent that they HOOD more than pay for the Initial cost. Kitchen Furniture. This Hboiild lie * wimple , durable and adequate for the > ne'e-els of the houw- keeper. The kind nnd number of ple-ceB will largely depend on the char acter of the heime. But In every kitch en there- should be a good range , at least one work table and n convenient tdnk supplied with running water and modern plumbing. The-se three artlcli-8 should be near neighbors bucaiiHc they arc so frequently used nt the same time. Whatever the- fuel coal , wood , gat ) or gasoline- should be burned In a good range- , erne that IH perfect In nil its parts and equipped with a gooel baking oven. No part of the hoiiRofur- nlBhlng Is more Important than thei kitchen stove and no piece of farm mn- chlnery , however necessary , should bo bought by sacrificing the new stove. Since the preparation of food for the ) table IH an absolute necessity in every home , the- stove , whatever Its style- , should be as good as any part of the equipment of the entire establishment. The work table should be high enough that the worker need not ntnnel in an uncomfortable position while Ironing or baking. Kitchen tables nro made thirty Inches high , which Is not enough for a woman five feet six Inch es In height , and to bend over It , as she always must , results In an unnec essary weariness or backache. Either the low table should bo set upon sup ports or a higher one should bo order ed. The high stool Is a simple piece of furniture which should' ' be in every kitchen. It can be slipped under the work table when not in use and IB n convenient seat while preparing vegetables - tables , ironing and doing tlio number less other tasks which can be per. formed sitting just as well as stand- Ing. Ing.A A clock is necessary In the kitchen , also n pair of strong scissors , a pin x iX cushion with pins nnd some coarse noodles dles and thread , both white and black. These are constantly needed , nnd it makes unnecessary steps to be obliged to go to the living room for them. It Is hardly possible to have too many drawers , shelves and cupboards , and yet these ought not to be used to en courage cllsorderllncss. There Is some times a temptation to hideaway things In cupboards or drawers that would better be destroyed at once than have them add to the task of straightening up later on. The modern kitchen may have other useful pieces of furniture in addition to the above. If there Is money enough to provide them. Among these may be mentioned a water or electric motor or oven a small one horsepower gaso line engine , any one of which will run the washing machine mangle , churn , cream separator and can be attached to the sewing machine. This llttlo contrivance IH not so expensive that It need be excluded from even moderate homes , considering the amount of work It will accomplish and the strength It will save. When a woman Is obliged to do all her housework It ought certainly to be counted as one of the necessities. The kitchen cabinet with separate compartments for nil kinds of groceries jind supplies Is sometimes preferred to the pantry. It Is entirely a matter of personal pref erence which should be chosen , for both arc most convenient. Reason able care must , however , be taken not to leave groceries lying about loosely In the cabinet , for these will attract Insects ns well as mice. But the housekeeper endowed with oven the > most ordinary degree of order may easily avoid such a misfortune. The electric or gasoline Iron is n handy little appliance for making kitchen work lighter and Is incxpen- elve when usefulness nnd labor sav ing qualities nre balanced with dollars lars and cents. In the country , of course , the gasoline Iron Is generally the only one possible , but these have now been brought to a degree of per- 'ectlou that makes them satisfactory. The Use of the Kitchen. Ono last Important point to remem ber in furnishing n kitchen Is that its real purpose Is a workroom , not a liv ing or dining room. A workroom should have Its tools conveniently ar- anged within easy reach of the work man. All utensils and evidences of rcltchen work should not be kept in Hhcr parts of the house or stoweel uvay in obscure places in order that : ho room may bo presentable- when strangers come. The modern kitchen , s not Intended to till the place of n cceptlon room , and only in exception- il cuscs should it bo used ns a dlnlug- oom. A Musical Opinion.
