President Taft will stick to Beverly as a hot weather play ground unless congress selects a site and appropri ates the money for an official sum mer white house elsewhere. In a let ter to Governor Eberhart, of Minne sota, declining with thanks the offer of a site for a presidential summer home at Wayzata, on Lake Minneton ka, the president explained that con gress alone had the authority to des ignate an official summer white house. Senator Cummins of Iowa, one of the organizers of the national repub lican progressive league, receptive candidate for the presidential nomi nation and supposed enemy of the ad ministration of President " Taft, an nounced that he would favor Presi dent Taft delegates to the republican national convention and that he could not see his way clear to support Sen ator La Follette for the presidency.

Sir Henry Seymour King. who. in the last general election was return ed to the conservative seat in com- toons for the central district of Hull, was unseated. The Judges found Sir Henry cuilty of lavishly treating his! constituents.

June 5-6-7. by Will M. Maupin. of Lincoln. Nebr. "We of Nebraska should know, and knowing tell the world, what Nebras ka is and is to be; what Nebraska offers to the homeseeker. the invest ment seeker and the health seeker; what hidden potentialities for human happiness lie dormant in her fertile soil, and what she is annually con tributing to the sum total of the world's created wealth. In the beginning of this necessari ly brief paper I want to say, and say emphatically, that the last session of the Nebraska legislature, which per formed many good deeds, neglected the ripest opportunity ever offered a legislature to confer a lasting benefit upon the state. I refer to its failure and neglect to make the initial ap propriation for a Bureau of Publicity and Immigration. There was no reasonable ground for opposition to the measure; no reasonable objection in economy. In fact there was no opposition to the bill. Hut, unfor tunately, it did not offer opportuni ties for log-rolling and trading. It had behind it the solid backing of every enterprising organization in the state, of every wide-awake man who is anxious to see Nebraska take her rightful place among the states of the republic. But because legisla tion today has become largely a mat ter of "You tickle me and I'll tickle you;" so largely a matter of trade and barter, this splendid measure calculated to give us a start in the great work of making the truth about Nebraska known to the world, was allowed to die of inanition, of mal nutrition, of sheer neglect. And in doing so the legislature worked a grave injury to the commonwealth. States, like corporations and part nership and firms must advertise in these strenuous days or fall to the rear. Constant, persistent, insistent, intelligent advertising is the keynote of success in any business, and there is no greater or more important busi ness than the building of a state. But there is a condition precedent to intelligent advertising. The con structor of the advertising must know what he is advertising. No man engaged in advertisement build ing can hope ever to know too much about the business or the goods he is exploiting. It is all well enough for the newspaper men of Nebraska to claim that they are constantly ad vertising Nebraska, but the plain, unvarnished truth is that they are not doing it as it should be done, and for the very simple reason that they do not know all they should know about Nebraska. I have lived in this state for a quarter of a century longer by several years than the average Nebraska editor. I have tried in my weak way to advertise Nebraska to the world, and I thought for years' I knew Nebraska pretty thoroughly. Something like six years ago I began studying Nebraska from a different angle. Formerly I had studied it from a car window or in political conventions or by converse with friends in my office. Now, af ter studying Nebraska for six years as any merchant studies his stock any successful merchant. I mean I have just begun to realize that what I knew of Nebraska up until six years ago was as nothing, and that if I keep on acquiring knowledge for the next six or eight years as I have during the past six or eight, at the end of that time my knowledge of this great state may qualify me to emerge from the kindergarten class and enter the first primary. The longest span of human life in this age would not suffice to enable one to graduate from the great school wherein knowledge of Nebraska is imparted. Merely as a basis upon which to work intelligently while you study. 1 purpose giving you some concrete facts about our beloved state. I will not waste your time in detailing bald statistics. The average human mind can not think in millions. Statistical tables appeal only to statisticians. Columns of figures frighten and repel the average man. Because of this I undertook, while serving as chief of the statistical bureau of the state, to present the statistics about Nebras ka in a more attractive form than the usual table of figures. I hope I may be pardoned if I lay claim to having achieved some measure of success in advertising Nebraska abroad. I am of the opinion that the crop statis tics of Nebraska, and all other statls- tics, received a wider range or puis-1 licitv under the nlan I adontcd than ! they had achieved before. One bul letin of comparative statistics reached a circulation of 70.000 with requests for upwards of 20,000 more. And such great journals as Collier's, Leslie's Weekly, Munsey's Magazine and the Cosmopolitan, to say nothing of the great daily newspapers, gave free to Nebraska a measure of pub licity that could not have been pur chased with money. Now, here are some facts about Ne braska, tersely told, that will serve as the basis of many a good adver tisement of Nebraska: Nebraska was admitted to the union in March, 1867, and is there fore forty-four years old six years less than half a century. All this progress, all this wonderful develop ment, has been wrought in less than fifty years. Civilization's history records nothing like it. Seventy-seven thousand square miles of territory. 415 miles east and west and 205 miles north and south. Forty-nine million acres, eighteen ; million acres cultivated. Upon these eighteen million cultivated acres Ne braska in 1910 raised upwards of $400,000,000 worth of grains and grasses. Of the thirty nJUion uncul tivated acres more than one-half are just as good for corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, alfalfa, potatoes, broom corn, etc., as the eighteen million cul tivated acres, and one-half of the re maining acreage will in time, under intelligent cultivation and proper knowledge of the conditions to be met, be added to the wealth produc ing area. It took Nebraskans more than a quarter of a century to learn that they could not adapt Nebraska soil to the Nebraska man. Then came the most wonderful discovery of the age the discovery that by adapt ing the man to the soil, Nebraska could be made the greatest agricul tural wealth producer in the world. Since that discovery every year has seen hundreds of thousands of acres of soil, heretofore considered worth less, brought Into cultivation and yielding returns that are so astonish ing that it is bard to make people be lieve the truth. There is room in Ne braska for a half million more till ers of the soil who will till intelli gently. Landseer. when asked what he mixed his paints with, replied, "With brains!" And there is no bet ter fertilizer than brains. Nebraska is the fourth largest corn producing state, and the young est of the three, raising more corn to the acre than any other state. Nebraska is the fourth largest wheat producing state, and the youngest of the three raisiug more wheat to the acre than any other state. Nebraska is the fourth largest pro ducer of oats, and the youngest of the four, only one state excelling her in production per acre. Nebraska is the third largest pro ducer of sugar beets. Nebraska manufactures more but ter per capita than any other state, and her dairy industry is in its in fancy. Nor is Nebraska alone an agricul tural and live stock state. Twenty five years ago we shipped in prac tically every manufactured article we consumed. Iuist year our total manu factured products were approximate ly worth $230,000,000, or almost one half as much as our total of agricul tural products and live stock. Start ling as it may sound, there is no state making such rapid strides in manufacturing lines as Nebraska. There is a reason. A dollar invested in Nebraska manufacturing establish ments brings a greater return than a dollar invested in any other state. But, as I said early in this paper, the human mind can not think in terms of millions. If I say that in 1910 Nebraska produced 30,000,000 pounds of butter we merely smile and say, "that's some butter." But you'll probably sit up and take no tice when I tell you that If all that butter were packed in pound cartons, and the cartons stacked up end on end, it would make a column of but ter two and one-half inchs square and 2S5 miles high; or if loaded into standard freight cars it would make a train over thirty miles long! In 1910 Nebraska hens produced 102,000.000 dozen eggs one billion, two hundred million eggs. Placed end to end they would reach once and a half times around the world, and they were worth more money than all 'the gold and silver dug out of any one state in this Union during the same year. Imagine, if you can, all those eggs rolled into one big e?,Z, and then imagine a hen big enough to be the author thereof. With one scratch of her foot she could excavate enough dirt to make a basement for a City National Bank building, and throw the dirt across the Missouri river. Ever hear of "King Cotton?" Texas is the greatest cotton producing state, yet her 1910 crop of cotton was not worth as much as Nebraska's corn and wheat crop by 130.000,000. The total tobacco production of the Na tion last year wasn't worth as much as last year's crop of Nebraska corn, and it wasn't our best corn year, either. Pennsylvania is the greatest coal producing state, but her coal output last year was not worth as much at the mine mouth as the grain, hay and live stock of Nebraska on the farmsteads. All the gold dug from Uncle Sam's soil in 1910 wouldn't pay for Nebraska corn and wheat in 1910. And mind you, this with less than one-half her fertile soil under cultiva tion, and that less than half not yet Intensely fanned so as to produce the maximum results. Let us load upon freight cars all the grain, grasses, live stock, butter, eggs, poultry, potatoes and sugar beets produced in Nebraska in 1910. Would they make a train long enough to reach from Omaha to Sidney? Yes, and then some. From Omaha to Salt Lake? Yes. and a bit further. From Omaha to San Francisco? Yes. and a little further. Well, how long? In order to get a main line track long enough to hold that train it would be necessary to bridge the Atlantic ocean, the English channel and the Baltic sea. With the caboose of that train in St. Petersburg, the conductor who carried orders to the engineer in the cab would have to walk and walk and walk until he reached an engine that projected out into the Pacific ocean fourteen hundred miles west of San Francisco, for that train would be ten thousand nnd four miles long. In 1910 Nebraska, with a population of less than a million and a half of people, produced more from her soil than Japan, with forty million people, produced and purchased from other nations. The per capita of agricultur al wealth production of Nebraska in 1910 was greater than that of any other state. Her two main cereals, corn and wheat, were worth more than the nation's output of copper; her four main cereals, corn, wheat, oats and rye. were worth more than the nation's output of iron ore; her butter, esgs and poultry were worth practically as much as the nation's output of crude petroleum; her hay output was worth more than Alaska's output of precious metals, and her baby crop worth more than the baby crop of all the other states combined. You think you know Nebraska? I doubt if there is an editor here who is familiar with the history, the pro ductivity and the resources of his own county. Nebraska a desert! What other state has as many miles of riv ers within her borders? Nebraska has over S00 miles of Platte nver wholly within her confines. And with the Blue, the Nemahas, the Loups, Pine. Stinking Water. Republican. Salt, and creeks too numerous to men tion, she possesses an Undeveloped water power that would rival Niagara. She ought to be manufacturing from Nebraska grown raw material every finished product that humanity eats and wears, and pretty near everything that humanity uses, using Nebraska power and paying wages to Nebraska workers. I claim that Nebraska, with more to advertise than any other state, is the least known state at home or abroad of any state In the Union. Kansas spends $30,000 a year in pub licity and immigration work; Missouri spends $40,000 a year Colorado spends $15,000 a year; Washington and Ore gon spend $25,000 a year each; Cali fornia spends a quarter of a million Nebraska doesn't spend a dollar. Any wonder thousands pass us by to invest in the higher priced and less productive lands of the northwest? Any wonder that Canada is getting some of Nebraska's best? Any won der that the Nebraskan in New York who undertakes to tell some of the real facts about Nebraska is laughed at and set down as a chronic prevari cator? Time that we made Nebraska known to all the world! High time that we acquaint the world with the marvelous improvement that has been wrought within her borders in less than a generation! High time that we let the world know that right here in the heart of the once "Great American Desert" we have builded in less than a generation a state that stands at the front in education, that stands at the front in wealth produc tion per capita, that stands at the front in development of manufactur ing, that leads all other states in civic reforms and accomplishes them with out revolution and wholly by thought ful study and intelligent progress. But before we can adequately tell the world we must first know Ne braska. So this is the message I bring you. fellow newspaper men: Let us study Nebraska, study her history, her resources and her possibilities, to the end that we may be fitted to ad vertise our beloved state to all the world for what she Is the most pro ductive, progressive and pushing; the most enterprising, energetic and en thusiastic; the most intelligent, in dustrious and inspiring in short, the greatest area of productivity peopled by the most progressive people in all the world. This toast I give to you: "Nebraska, the producer of the best of all things; of bad things the pos sessor of least; a state without a 'bread line' or a child sent breakfast- less to school; with a future unlimited J nnd a past to be proud of; a state of homes and schools and churches her greater development our duty, her bounty our, sufficient reward."

A reso lution opposing the re-election of United States Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida as vice president of the American Unitarian association because of his vote on the Lorimer case received the indorsement of members of the ministerial union. Population of England. London. Provisional figures return ed by the census officers give the population of England and Wales this year as 26.075.2Gy, compared with 32.527,843 in 1901. While most of the cities and counties show an in crease there are many cases, particu larly in Wales, where there has been an actual decrease. Greater London's population has increased to 7.252.2C3 from t;,o81.402 in 1901. The county of London including the city of Lon don and the boroughs immediately about It, shows a decrease. Rate Advances Scored. Washington. Proposed advances in the freight rates on grain and grain products from North Dakota and South Dakota producing points to such primary grain centers as Minne apolis, Duluth, Milwaukee and Chi cago are held by the Interstate Com merce commission, in a decision, to be unreasonable. The commission held, however, that the former established rates from points of origin to these destinations should be restored, ex cept in instances of bona fide error in tariffs.

He was an immaculate servant. To watch him serve a salad was to watch an artist at work. To hear his sub dued accents was a lesson in the art of voice-production. He never slipped, he never smiled, and his mutton-chop whiskers marked him as one of the old and faithful stock. But one even ing, to the surprise of his master, he showed unaccountable signs of nerv ousness. When the chicken came on, he confused it with the pheasant. He served everything in the wrong or der, made blunder after blunder, and put a final touch to bis shame by up setting the salt over the only super stitious member of the party. Then, at last, when the ladies had retired to the drawing room, he touched his mas ter on the shoulder. "I beg your par don, sir," he said in a respectful un dertone, "but could you manage to spare me now? My house is on fire." Publicity Law Badly Needed. Connecticut. District of Columbia. Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan. Mississippi. New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont, have laws which provide specifically for the re porting of tuberculosis and which make provision for the proper regis tration of living cases of this disease. In fourteen other states, laws or reg ulations of the state boards of health require that tuberculosis be reported simply as one of a list of infectious diseases. The following 2S states and territories have no provision what ever for the reporting or registration of tuberculosis cases: Arizona. Alas ka, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware. Florida, Georgia. Hawaii, Idaho, Illi nois, Kentucky, Louisiana. Missouri. Montana. Nevada. New Hampshire. New Mexico. North Carolina. Ohio, Oklahoma, Philippine Islands. Porto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. Kissing Breach of Peace. The better half of a respected citi zen of New Jersey recently had the temerity to hale her lord and master before the court on a charge of having kissed her against her will. For this heinous offense this shameless Jersey benedict was bonded over In $100 bail to keep the peace, and, moreover, was warned by the judge never again to kiss his wife without first obtaining her consent in due form. If he is any kind of a man. probably he will never want to kiss her again. Washington Herald. An Unlaureled Hero. Here is a niche in the Hall of Fame for Seth A. Eaton, a rural mail car rier from the Middleboro postoffice, who, surrounded by woodland fire, his horse lying on the ground stifled with Emoke. his own hair singed, his hat burned and one side of his face and hands blistered, was still mindful of duty and saved the mail he was carry ing by burying it in the sand, before lie fought through the line of fire to safety.

COMES A TIME When Coffee Shows What It Has Been Doing. "Of late years coffee has d'sagreed with me," writes a matron, from Rome, N. Y. "Its lightest punishment being to make me 'logy' and dizzy, and it seem ed to thicken up my blood. "The heaviest was when it upset my stomach completely, destroying ray ap petite and making me nervous and Ir ritable, and sent me to my bed. After one of these attacks, in which I nearly lost my life, I concluded to quit the coffee and try Postum. "It went right to the spot!

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES CUTICURA REMEDIES "I wish to let you know of a couple of recent cures which I have made by the use of the Cuticura Remedies. Last August, Mr. of this city came to my office, troubled with a severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis in its worst form. It started with a Blight eruption and would affect most parts of his body, thighs, elbows. chest, back and abdomen and would terminate in little pustules. The itch ing and burning was dreadful and ht would almost tear his skin apart, try ing to get relief. I recommended all the various treatments I could think of and he spent about fifteen dollars on prescriptions, but nothing seemed to help him. "In the meantime my wife, who was continually suffering with a slight skin trouble and who had been try ing different prescriptions and meth ods with my assistance, told me she was going to get some of the Cuticura Remedies and give them a fair trial. But as I did not know much about Cuticura at that time I was doubtful whether It would help her. Her ckin would thicken, break and bleed, es pecially on the fingers, wrists and arms. I could do nothing to relieve her permanently. When she first ap plied the warm baths of Cuticura Soap and applications of Cuticura Ointment she saw a decided improve ment and in a few days she was com pletely cured. "I lost no time In recommending the Cuticura Remedies to Mr. , and this was two months ago. 1 told him to wash with warm baths of the Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti cura Ointment generously. Believe me. from the very first day's use of the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly relieved and today he Is completely cured through their use. I have great faith In the Cuticura Remedies and shall always have a good word for them now that I am convinced of their wonderful merits." (Signed) B. L. Whitehead. M. D.. 108 Dartmouth St, Boston. Mass., July 22, 1910. That Might Be Inducement. It was during the hot spell and on the hottest night of the week that a South side teacher took a number of her little charges for a car ride. In the Public Square they piled out and were marched to the telescope set up by a man who vends peeps at the heavenly bodies at so much per peep. The children were told that they might look at the moon, a little lec ture accompanying the lesson that the moon was a cold body.
