If everybody had Stevea' activity ia thia line, Nebraska this year would hare had trait to sell to the stricken Last week a -lady came into our 'to advertise a' cape she had lost three weeks, before. She thought it was almost napless, 'but would try what printer's ink would do. Wednes day morning bright and early two little girls brought in the cape, we place the city JocBXAlB in the post-office on Tues day evenings. It pays to advertise. A few months ago some one left a key that had been found. We put in a local and it was astounding to realize how many people had lost keys. - Then we had a hat -here one dsy bat it was claimed soon after being advertised.- There is a moral to this' story. It pays to adver tise. August Weisshand tells us that the storm (of Saturday night week) was the hardest he .ever saw, for about halt, ap hour. There was a -great amount of water fell,, and stood six inches deep. after the rain.- The-hailstones- were not so large as at Schuyler, but were' more numerous. Mr. Weisshand says at two of his- neighbors with corn, fields only twenty feet apart one field was stripped while the. 'other was scarcely touched. At Humphrey, there was no', rain, just hail,- and some stones bigger than goose. eggs. There are- all kinds- of reports August says, one man saying he heard of a hail stone 30 inches round, dropping in Colfax county. James Haney says that the storm of Saturday evening Week was a terrific wind for a very short' time', two currents, one from the south, the other from the northwest coming together and rnltjrig a twist,- disturbing -things very decidedly for a moment- No haiL At 'George. Henggler's, north of Shell creek,, the storm" was not so severe as to wind, but with very much rain and . haiL George iys -the canyons- were, crowded; over flowing his cornfields. At' Davis's and Aug. Weiashand's, farther north; the. storm was still store severe. No loss of life, so far as we have beard.; In some places. the-corn was stripped of the blades, and in some places was bud- flat as small grain is in-a strong wind' - When people start in" to -practice economy, observes the Fairbury Gazette, they usually begin with the newspapers, stopping -their advertising -and-often their paper under the. mistaken -idea that they are cutting off a. useless, ex pense. The farmer might as well quit plowing for the next year's crop as for the merchant '.to cease letting, it be known he has goods for sale. Of course the necessities of .the paper are not taken into consideration, nor the fact considered that it costs as . much or more to run a paper withbnt advertising as with it. To be consistent' and pro tect themselves, publishers should cur tail their expenses -to- correspond with the loss of patronage by reducing the size of their paper, employing less help, etc They seldotn'do thahowever, but continue'runmng at a loss 'until 'times are better or;tney .are compelled -to quit entirely, '. Why" can not Columbus have a woman's club? Every progressive town in our own and in neighboring states ha its dub where women meet, not for gossip, but-for -mutual improvement. (study, and the discussion of important topics of the day. Much good has been accomplished through theseclabs in the way of. forming organized charities, library . associations and establishing libraries, something ' that ' Columbus needs. - When times are hard, taxes are high 'and laws unjust, women suffer equally with men, and at this time, when the worldis stirred to the outside limit of its emotion and thoaght with a social demand for the abolition of poverty and injustice, woman should be willing to do her part, or, at least, to inform her self on the issues of the day. It would benefit the women of Columbas to or ganize a club, and we certainly should keep abreast of the times. b. Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

When he. does go after -a scalp he brings the. entire head.- This every day bark becomes thread-bare and is looked upon as very poor policy. . .-It has a retrograding effect." " ' No man (dubbed newspaper or other) ought to be feared.' The truth is, there is .too much regard paid to base' fear. Do yoar duty and let the other man, whether he be n newspaper man or some other supposed sentinel on watch for the public interests, see to.it for.himself that he does his duty. We notice that some newspaper publishers, in the con duct of their business, seem to act al- ost wholly. on the theory of having people afraid of them, "throw stones at them and btiag them in," as a pubbsher said to aa once upon a time. Abject cowardice aad truckling on -one side foster dbauaeering insolence on the other.

Uncle Stephen, aa he used to be called by Osceola people, was a resident of Osceola for a long time, and was for several years editor -'of thei Record and changed the name from Homesteader to Record many years ago. At present he is in the' real estate busi ness at Tampa The last fifteen days have demonstrated the. fact that Polk county will not have -a-corn crop this year. The yield will be much more than last year but will not reach half a'crop. Careful enquiry from responsible farm ers over the county shows that the crops are -very spotted, but tne not, dry weather lately has cut the general yield badlyl" The people of. the county might jqst as. well acknowledge the fact and prepare to face the situation. This win ter must be another one of strict econo my. If -the farmers will cut plenty-of fodder save their straw and other-rough-feed, the county can go. through in much-better shape than it- did last year.' The straw- should be -stacked as care fully as hay. If the winter- ia a severe one straw will be a good price- before spring. The poorer fields of corn should be. cut for fodder and fed to 'save straw and. hay. In' this way stock can be' win tered without .much .grain, and' the county will .be 'able to sell a good deal of corn in spite of the short crop. The failure is something that no one ia re 'sponsible for and the only sensible way to do is to' meet the situation calmly, and again this .year as last, economy, the very strictest, must be. the watch word..
