From the Journal.
A friend of the writer recently turned
down an offer of $135 per acre for a Lin
coln precinct farm which he purchased
about a dozen years ago for S34 per acre.
He refused the offer because he believes
the land will sell for more in the near
future. With the present high prices for
farm products of all kinds and good
-
crop prospects, higher prices for farm
lands are sure to come.

Mr. V. Hon, one of our industrious
and respected citizens who has reached
the western slope of life's journey and
who depends principally upon the sale
of milk to provide for the daily wants of
himself and wife, had the misfortune to
lose one of his cows last Saturday morn
ing. Many expressions of sympathy
were beard, but Henry Humiston and
Clyde Hayhurst concluded that some
thing more real and substantial than ex
pressions of sympathy was needed in this
case and started out with a subscription
list. That evening they handed Mr.
Lion $92 with which to buy another cow
and continne furnishing milk to his cus
tomers. It is needless to say that toe

thousand bushels of corn delivered here

There has been a decided change in
opinion as to the condition of the oat
crop in this neighborhood in the past
week or so. On account of the dry
weather and high winds earlier in the
season, it was thought that few fields of
oats would amount to much; in fact sev
eral farmers plowed up their fields snd
put in other crops. The late rains, how
ever, have worked a wonderful change,
and many of those who plowed up their
oat fields are feeling sorry for having
done so. Aside from a little unevenness
in the stand, most fields look as good as
the average year and will yield probably
more bushels to the acre than last year.

Miss Emma Sheridan, who has been
assisting in earing for Mr. J.T. Evans
the past two. weeks, returned to her
home in Gojumbus Tuesday. Mr. Evans,
we are pleased to report, is convalescing.
It is generally conceded that there ib
one of the finest prospects for a wheat
crop in these parts that was ever grown
here. And oats that looked very sickly
two weeks ago bss taken a good healthy
color and is coming to the front in a
very satisfactory manner.
In last Sunday's Omaha World-Herald
was a picture of Miss Cora Baker, of
Gretna, Nebraska. That paper also
stated that Miss Baker would, next

At the regular meeting of the village
board Monday evening it was determined
tbat the ordinance requiring the pay
ment of an occupation tax by each and
every individual or firm engaged in bus
iness here be enforced. Heretofore, ever
since the ordinance under which the
village is imposing this tax was adopted,
May 1st, 1903, has not been very gener
ally enforced. For instance, if any one
refused to pay this tax, no steps have
been taken to compel tbem to pay, and
the result has been that many have
escaped payment. This has been espe
cially true in the past year. Many have
contended that this occupation tax can
not be collected. The board now pro
pose to test this matter in the courts if
necessary. Certainly there is no justice
in collecting from a portion and allowing
others to escape.

Last week the town was overrun with

trouble at different places about the
children tbat she carried papers with her
showing tbat the children were really

RIGHT ATTITUDE IN PRAYER.
Interesting Subject Brought Up
Woman's Suit Against Rail
road Company.
by
A unique feature in the suit of Mrs.
Emily Park Requa, who was award
ed $10,000 damages in her suit against
the New York Central railroad for in
juries received October 27, 1907, in
the wreck of the Montreal express,
was the fact that by an Injury to
the kneecap she was no longer able to
follow the custom of a lifetime and
kneel in prayer at her bedside on re
tiring. To just what extent mental
suffering thus produced should enter
into the computation of pecuniary
damager. it would be difficult to esti
mate; but the contention suggests a
reflection on the appropriate attitude
for prayer. In this feature of wor
ship some churches have always knelt,
others have stood, while some have
uniformly remained seated with
bowed heads. In recent years some
denominations have been relinquish
ing their former custom of kneeling,
for the less reverential one of care
less sitting. As to private devotion,
we believe kneeling has always been
considered the most suitable attitude.
If modern psychology be correct in
holding -that not only does the mind
control the movements of the body,
but, conversely, the bodily attitude has
a corresponding influence on the men
tal condition, then surely in 'prayer
the most sacred expression of re
ligious faith a bodily position denot
ing reverence and humility has more
than an indirect bearing upon a
prayerful frame of mind. To the
western mind there is no position so
expressive of humility as kneeling.
Might it not be conductive to worship
to revive kneeling as the habit of
prayer? Leslie's Weekly.
CHILDREN LIKE PLAY FARMS
New York Innovation Declared Fruit
ful Source of Health and
Happiness.
There is no form of benevolence that
has produced quicker and more per
ceptible results than that of looking
after and providing for the entertain
ment of the children of large cities.
The efforts to find occupation for the
mental and physical energies of chil
dren have resulted in the discovery of
many ingenious plans. City play
grounds are now of almost universal
adoption in all civilized countries. But
the city farm for children is an inno
vation that has not as yet been so gen
erally introduced. It has proved such
a success where it has been tried, how
ever, that there will surely soon be
play farms in every American city as
regular and abiding "institutions." A
city vacant lot located in the thickly
populated section of New York and
containing something less than one
acre has for the second season been
cut up into farms that are just foui
feet one way by eight feet the other.
Each of these tiny land parcels is put
under the care of a small boy or girl
'to be farmed. And do the youngsters
take to this farm enterprise? Well
there are about five applicants for
every farm. They love it so well that
there is difficulty in persuading them
to quit, during the planting season, at
luncheon time. Those in charge of this
play farm say that it has proved a
great source of health and happiness
to the children. And, while it Is not
particularly meant to be instructive, it
really is instructive.

Beauty Doctor's Little Lecture and
Manipulations Had Little Effect
on Lady's Double Chin.
A beauty doctor toiled on a double
chin.
"Let them sneer if they like," he
said, "but we beauty doctors have
added some 15 of 20 years to the age
or the heroine of fiction and the stage.
I mean the modern heroine is as young
at 35 as she used to be at 18."
He attacked the great chin with hot,
dry compresses.
"Dickens and Scott had heroines of
17 or so. In those days at 17 a girl
was at her best. Thereafter she faded.
But Hichens, the daring novelist of
.the day, has in the 'Garden of Allah' a
heroin? of 32, and in his last book the
heroine is 40. Hichens knows, you
see, that we beauty doctors can make
a woman's youth stay with her till
long past 40."
He smeared the chin with grease.
"The same with the stage. The
heroine used to be a kid. She's a
mature woman now, only she has re
tained the kid's charm, the slim and
supple figure. Barrie in 'What Every
Woman Knows' gives us a heroine
well on toward "40 Maugham in 'Mrs.
Dot' does the same. Pinero's heroines
are all ripe."
He kneaded the double chin with
both hands like a baker.
"The doctors ot medicine have pro
longed life; we doctors of beauty have
prolonged youth, and the world grows
daily a finer place to live in. See
any difference?" he added, proffering
a mirror.
The owner of the chin studied its
reflection carefully.
"No," she said. Cincinnati En

Terrible scenes were witnessed at
Canton on tbe occasion of the recent
disastrous fire on the native pleas
ure boats. A large number of these
craft, which are of the nature of house
boats, were moored together, and at
the time of the disaster several hun
dred persons were on board. An over
turned lamp seems to have been re
sponsible for the outbreak. With great
rapidity the flames spread from one
craft to another, and soon after the
alarm was raised one of the planks
connecting the boats with the river
bank became displaced in the rush,
thus cutting off the means of escape
of hundreds of people. The majority
of them jumped into the water, but
comparatively few appear to have
been rescued. No fewer than 600 wom
en are reported to have been drowned
or burnt to death. Among the dead
were several prominent Cantonese,
including three Taotis and the man
ager of the Great China bank. A
large quantity of valuable jewelry is
said to have been taken from the bod
ies of the victims.
Too Many Books to Read.
We feel the deepest sympathy for
those moderns who complain that so
many books are now published and
so noisily advertised tbat they are
bewildered as to choice, and turn
back to the old favorites. That, sure
ly, is a thousand times better than
adopting the alternative which now
seems so popular of not reading at
all. What withautomobiling, golf, the
theater, bridge and the ten-cent maga

tial citizens are acused by discon
tented booksellers of never openings
