One of -the most interesting features of the convenuon was the competi tive drill between a number of drill teams of visiting aeries. The nrst prize of 51 10 was -won by tne team from Benson Aerie, and those -who saw it say it was vry good. At the business session Thursday. it was decided to held the next state mating at Grand Island next year. Th- rollowmg officers -were elected - r h- -nsning year- Charles Tracy. 3-nson. past prident.

Tanner, retiring state secretary, and editor of the South Omaha Democrat, and known -wherever two newspaper men meet as "Doc"", was the next speaker, his sub ject being "Fraternalism." No man could sit and listen to that address without a feeling that there is more to fraternalism than a beautiful the ory, when put to practical use as it should be. "The Eagle As An Emblem," was the subject of a beautiful and instruct ive address by Rev W E. Xanders, of Grace Episcopal church. Father Xanders described the fearless habits of the bird and showed the beautiful symbolism of the eagle as an emblem, in Scripture, and in national affairs as well as in this great fraternal order. Harry B. Fleharty. of South Omaha, was right at home in his treatment of his subject. "Our Guardian Angels The Ladies." He treated the subject in a humorous vein for several min utes, and closed with a beautiful tri bute to womanhood and motherhcod. "Good Fellowship was the subject assigned by this jolly crowd of good fellows to one of their own number. Judge Howard. Mr. Howard defined good fellowship as he understood the term, emphasizing the difference be tween the commonly accepted mean ing of the expression and the genuine good fellowship that is willing to make sacrifices for a brother, if need be. Everybody went to tnar banquet prepared and expecting to receive "Something Gccd." and this was the subject chosen by Sir William Ken nedy, of Omaha, who was abundantly able to satisfy the expectations of his hearers, ilr. Kennedy is an enter tamer of the highest order, and in ad dition to his address favored the audi ence with the singmg of several selec tions, some of them of his own com- Summer Tourist Round-Trip Fares to the Pacific Coast From Colnmbus to California North.

O REASONABLE RATES. if a company sives roou s to maintain Its plant up to recosrmxec standards of effi ciency, to provide for reconstruction cost when worn out or oosolete. ane. pay omy a fair dividend to its share hoicers then the company's rates are fair anc reasonable. Rates m many eases may appear unfair because the reasons for various chamres are misunderstood. In every case our rates are based on the results of scientific m vestigution after years of expert study of the various problems entering into rate making-. Telephone rates in various communities mast dirTer oecause of the conditions that enter into rare computations varying in given localities. Telephone operation is dirl erent from nearly any other in this the greater the extent of -erv:ee. the higher the unit cost. This peculiarity of telephone charges wilt be ciscussed next article in this naner. Nebraska Telephone Co. C I. MARTZ, Manager amy of his fias ever suggested that he was not loyal to his friends. Hence, it was perfectly appropriate that he should be assigned the subject of "Loyalty." He handled the subject in his own characteristic style, show ing the beauties of having friends that ence of thirty years in various lodges, could be depended upon at all times and Dahlman's friends know that he possesses that attribute to a remark able degree. During the week entertainment was furnished for the crowds by the Nat Reiss Carnival company. One of the most exciting features of this part of the program was the choice of a car nival queen. Several candidates were brought out by their friends, the vot ing being exciting for a time. The choice finally fell upon Miss ilaggie Held, daughter of Mayor and Mrs. Held. State Sunday School Convention. The forty-fourth annual convention of the Nebraska state Sunday school association was held in the auditorium at Grand Island June 6 to S. While ' the number enrolled was not as large as usual, and the weather was of the scorching variety, yet every session was full of inspiration and help to those whose privilege it was to be ' present. Problems which trouble county offi cers were discussed Tuesday morn ing, followed by a noon-day prayer ser vice. Tuesday afternoon was taken by the elementary institute, which opened with a chorus of 120 or more children, representing seven different Sunday schools of Grand Island, each j school singing a song. Mrs. Ida M. Leyda. of Chicago, then gave an ad-1 dress on "The Child." which was fol lowed by talks on each department in the elementary division. Tuesday evening's session opened with music by the orchestra and sang service led bv Professor L. L. Henry of Chicago. Mayor C G. Ryan and Rev S. H. Buell. each gave an address of welcome. These were followed bv an address by President George G Wallace giving the convention rest. II Samuel. V: 2:3-24. Rev. R. P Shep herd. D D- oT St. Louis, was then in troduced. He was the funny man of the convention, but m his address on "The Centuries of The Bible" he brought home many wholesome truths as well as in his subsequent talks. Mr R. A Waite. international sec retary of the Y M. C. A- gave sev eral excellent addresses relating his wide experience. Thursday afternoon. Dr. H H Meyer of New York City and E. K. Mcore of Chicago, gave short talks. They were on their way to attend the international Sunday school conven tion at San Francisco. The men's parade through the streets was a feature of Thursday's program, and Mr Waide in his closing ( address spoke of the men's movement that is scan to begin by the combined Christian forces in America. Th Grand Island convenuon goes on rec-' ord as being among the best ever held. COUNTY SECRETARY DONT WAP Take Advantage sf a Columbus Citi zen's Experience Before It's Too Late.

Mrs. F Gerber. 201 Seventh street Columbus. Nebraska, says- "I had an acute pain m the small of my back and I could hardly get around or arise after sitting. My back seemed to giv out entirely and at night it was all I could do to turn over in bed. I would lie in one position as long as I cculd and then to change. I would have to shift my self by degrees and verv carefully as every quick move ment caused sharp pains. I alwavs felt tired, had no ambif.cn and did not eat well. Dizzy spells annoyed me and a distressing kidney weakness was present. When Dean's Kidney Pills were recommended to me. I pro cured a box and in a couple of days after beginning their use. I noticed improvement. I continued to get bet ter steadily and after I had finished the contents of one box of Dean's Sidney Pills, not a symptom of my former trouble remained.

KANSAS LANDS 2Ss We are offering through the efforts of Chas. I. Zirkle & Co., of Garden City, Kansas, one of the best propositions now on the mar ket, viz: over 100,000 acres of fine, level land, well watered by springs and creeks and all underlaid by an inexhaustible supply of the very best and purest of soft water, at a depth of from 6 to 80 feet; good, deep, rich soil and at the extremely low price of from $12.50 to $35.00 per acre. In this section of Kansas the rain fall is sufficient to mature any crop adopted to this climate viz: Wheat, corn, oats, barley, kaffir corn, milo maise, rye, millet, sweet potatoes, irish potatoes and Garden Truck of all kinds. And besides there is on this tract of land more than 20,066 acres of the very finest of shallow water sub-irrigated land, ALFALFA LAND, than which none other better can be found in the WORLD. The developement of Kansas has demonstrated that every county developed in the line of march to the West, has proven to be better than the territory previously under cultivation in fact, one of the last counties cf the fully developed Pawnee less than 50 miles East of the land we are offering for sale, was FIRST in wheat production last year, and Ford County, which adjoins this land, an only meagerly developed, occupied FIFTH place. As developement extends westward, land values climb UP and UP and Finney county is just now on the verge of a great BOOM, yet people are not aware of its magnificent possibilities; they will be very soon, therefore now is the time to act.
