HE ILL NOT RESIGN
HEAD OF PERU NORMAL IN MOOO
TO FIGHT BACK.
HAPPENINGS OVER THE STATE
What Is Going on Here and There'
That is of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout Nebraska
and Vicinity.
Teru. Neb. News of the action of
he state board of education in its
meeting at Nebraska City Tuesday
night, when It adopted a resolution
requesting the resignation of Presi
dent Crabtree, of the Peru normal
school, caused no great surprise here,
as the action was in a measure antici
pated. For a community that is ad
mittedly on the side of Mr. Crabtree,
there was little outward showing of
resentment, and practically no com
ment outside the student body. The
students, in order to show their loy
alty to the president, adopted some
thing of an innovation, which might
be termed a two days' strike. Wednes
day all remained from their classes,
and Thursday morning the same course
was followed, but to resume work as
usual Friday. A flag on the chief nor
mal building waved a half mast
throughout the day. The demonstra
tion was limited to the students, and
while the factulty took no part In
furthering the two days' "strike." there
was no evidence of an intention on the
part of the teachers to disc'plinc the
students for remaining away.
That President Crabtree will not
voluntarialy resign at the close of the
terra, as requested by the board, is
nearly a foregone conclusion. "The
fight is only 'begun." President Crab
tree is quoted as saying Wednesday,
which Is taken to mean that there will
be another round up before a new
head is installed for the school. Mr.
Crabtree takes the pos'tion that noth
ing done by him warrants his volun
tary withdrawal from the school, and
the conclusion reached is that It will
tnko snmetliinir mere drastic than a
cf I request for his resignation to displace
him.
Who the members of the board have
in mind as a successor is not known
here.
Change in Haldrege Bank.

A TKAUf IOAD OV SBTTLBBS VISITING BURBANK-OCALA COLON T.
WHERE THOUSANDS ARE FLOCKING
A BRIEF STORY OP COLONY BUILDING THAT HAS ASTOUNDED
THIS COUNTRY.
BY CLEMENT YORE.
One of the most tremendous land
movements ever seen in America is
progressing at the present time to
wards Burbank-Ocala Colony, In
Marlon County. Florida. One simply
cannot comprehend what it means to
see a thousand people purchasing
farms In just a few days. One has
no idea of a country that one month
contains no habitations, and the next
thirty days is dotted over with cot
tages; is throbbing and active with
life and movement, and is the center
of improvement that equals, if not sur
passes, those great days of the far
west when whole counties were peo
pled over night.
But this movement towards Florida
fl I AS. II. SIEO.
klortda's 'e Kmpiro Balidrr.
Is far more Interesting and of greater
Import than any movement towards
land heretofore recorded in this coun
try. The primal influence of this
great movement is Charles H. Sieg
and the organization which be has
promulgated.
This man Is the pioneer of Florida
in the matter of placing northern men
and women upon Florida farms. Less
than one year ago Charles H. Sieg or
ganized his first colony, which was lo
cated in St. Johns Park. Florida.
Every acre of the 30.000 comprising
this colony was sold within .10 days.
The demand was so great that Mr.
Sieg secured another tract of land,
amounting to some 36,000 acres, at
Jacksonville Heights, and this in turn
was sold out with the rapidity of the
first colony.
Today at these two great colonies.
SL Johns Park and Jacksonville I
Heights, are to be seen many beauti
ful cottages: hundreds of farms are
being worked; settlers are thoroughly
satisfied; land values have arisen
100. and many of those settlers who
bought land, and have not even im
proved n as yet, are actually refusing
in profits more than the amount of
money they paid for their homes.
Then Mr. Sieg began his search for
his greatest and his best Florida farm
community. After careful scrutiny
of all Florida lands, he decided that
Marion County, north of the County
Seat. Ocala. held the greatest promise
for his ideals, and he purchased a
large tract of land here.
Upon one side of this property lies
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad; on
the other, the Seaboard Air Line; and
through the heart of it travels the
Ocala & Northern Railroad. Upon
the eastern border of the colony,
which Mr. Sieg has called Burbank
Ocala. the beautiful Ocklawaha river
runs, and over the breast of its waters
travel passenger and freight steam
ers from Palatka to Silver Springs.

reaenes its nigncst point oi develop
ment at Burbank-Ocala Co!ony.
But a short time ago Charles 11.
Sieg announced through the public
press his intention of selling this prop
erty, as he had sold his former colo
nies in 1909. The response to these
announcements was to great that it
surpassed the Ideas of Mr. Sieg. To
day the evidence which this man has
at bis finger ends of the enormous
demand for Florida soil, is more aston
ishing than the reading of a work of
fiction.
Surely this is the day of back to
the soil.
To take a trip over the Burbank
Ocala Colony is to have a pleasure
that amounts almost to a vacation.
As one approaches Florida upon
any of the great railroads reaching I
this state, one is at once struck with
the conversation one hears in the
smoking, dining or sleeping car. This
conversation is almost wholly con
fined to the topic of Florida, and gives
an insight into the real condition or
the fame of this great state, for these
people come from almost every sec
tion of the North American continent.
Every train carries many men and
women who are going to Florida, and
strange as it may seem, the majority
of them arc routed to Burbank-Ocala
Colony.
From the worn-out hills of Xi Eng- '
land, from the cold and bleak moun
tain camps of the mining districts of
the Rockies, from beautiful California,
from chill and snow-laden Canada,
from the cities and from the farms.

a settler at Burbank-Ocala. and who
from this fact, prove that this land
satisfies all people and all classes of
people.
There arc three new townsites in
this colony, places where Chas H. Sieg
and bis organization have decided to
Duua cities. When one sees what
these cities were but a short time
ago, and looks at them when one ar
rives at Burbank-Ocala Colony, one
has an idea of what their appearance
will be six months from today.
The people are moving upon the fer
tile fields of Burbank-Ocala Colony In
large numbers; they are preparing
those fields for the reception of their
first crops; they are building their
riiomes. and in the wake of these set
tlers is traveling the commerce to
the various lines of business, that de
pend upon an agricultural community
for their existence.
Marlon County. Florida', is the ban
ner county of the state. It is the
county which but a few years ago in
competition at Tampa. Florida, with
every county in the state, took first
prize for agricultural and horticultural
products.
Marion County has more fine roads
than any county in the state. It has
local and long distance telephones
upon Its farms, arm. one sees here
more luxury In an hour's travel by au
tomobile or team than one would be
lieve possible in a farming section.
We must remember in traveling
over Florida, that these people whose
hon:es we see. and whose fields we
marvel at. make their money and
build their homes, not by the man
killing toil of working 160 acres of
ground like is done in the north, but
Florida is the spot where a man Is
rich who owns a ten acre farm.
Without the question of a doubt, the
greatest and most delightful portion
of Florida, where pleasure and profit
are wound and inter-wound, is Marion
County, and in the very heart of this
great county is located Burbank-Ocala
Colony.
If you want to read something of
this great colony; if you want to know
in the language of irrefutable proof
and undeniable facts and figures; if
you want to see with the eye of a
camera what is now being done at
Burbank-Ocala. write for "Ten Acres
and Freedom." a book Issued by Chas.
experiment Farm at Uorbank-OeaU Colony-
H. Sieg, and prepared with a most
comprehensive knowledge of all ques
tions arising in the mind of a man
who contemplates making Florida his
home.
This great book is very expensive,
and it is filled with absolute proof that
tells a story which no man can deny,
and it tells it in the language of com
mon sense.
In an interview with Mr. Sieg re
cently, he made the prediction that
every acre of Burbank-Ocala Colony
would be sold before farmers in the
north were enabled to start plowing.
This means that many thousands of
acres must be sold each and every
week, and that hundreds of settlers
are buying this land every day.
The office of the Burbank-Ocala Col
ony is located at the city of Ocala. in
Marion County, is filled with settlers
and prospective settlers to this col
ony, and the best part of it all is that
these settlers are satisfied. Many of
them are sent to Burbank-Ocala for
the purpose of investigating and mak
ing sure, not only for themselves, but
for their friends, relatives and neigh
bors, and most of these men buy im
mediately after seeing this land for
many people.
To give one some idea of the value
of this property, and how firmly con
vinced the Company is that it will
stand any investigation, the Board of
Directors of the Xew South Farm &
Home Company have authorized Chas.
H. Sieg to sell thh colony land upon
the strict guarantee that if it is not
satisfactory to the purchaser, he may
ask for and receive back every cent
he has paid, together with C inter
est, nny time before the actual deliv
erv of the deed.
This land is selling at the price of I
25.00 per acre, upon the terms of
L0 cents per acre down, and 50 cents
per acre per tnnntli until the land is
paid for. thus giving every purchaser f
19 months after his application has
been received to complete his pay
ments, while he can move on and take
possession of bis farm after a single
payment of only 50 cents per acre.

This is at the basis of 17 cents per day
for each 10 acres purchased.
My advice to every man who really
wants to make an investment out of
bis daily savings, that will come back
to him in profits that are limited only
by his own capabilities, is to write at
once for the great book called "Ten
Acres and Freedom," and inform him
self thoroughly before he buys, and
prove to his own satisfaction that Bur-

"I ate my breakfast this morning in
a Market street restaurant," said a
down-town business man, "and some
thing occurred that particularly ap
pealed to my sense of humor. A man
and a woman were seated opposite
me, and the waiter placed a large
plate of biscuits before the two. I
prefer bread.' said the woman. In a
jiffy the biscuits were whisked away
and replaced with the staff of life. I
noticed a wistful sort of expression on
the man's face as the biscuits disap
peared, but he made no remark. I
guess she's the boss of that ranch.' I
thought, and then the woman turned!
and said: 'I believe the girl thinks we
are together.' .As the waitress came
back to give the couple a check she
was just about to punch the amount of
two meals on one when she looked up
suddenly and asked if they wero to
gether. In one breath they said 'No!'
Well, you should have seen that girl's
face. She bluBhed furiously and then
capped the climax by saying: 'Oh, you
sat there so quiet like, not speaking
I thought you were married.' " Phila
