of the A. W. Shaw Company says the
following r
Economics is often thought of as
the science of business -,and nothing
more; but in the new bnaw dook,

Nebraska, it is given its proper set
ting in relation to history, anthro
pology, politics, and other social sci
ences. In place of the traditional
nd imaginary "economic man", a
real personality occupies the center
of the stage, who, In the pursuits of
wealth, docs not lose sight of other
human ends and values, and how
closely economic science is connect
ed with human wealth and welfare.
Intriguing Style
In this book, the first principles
of economics are presented in such a
clear and interesting way that not
only beginners but those well versed
in economic science will read it with
interest. Certainly any one who be
gins the book will read it through,
for there is not a dull chapter in it
and the literary style is intriguing.
It is one of the most comprehensive
outlines of economics ever published,
with the various topics closely ar
ticulated and proceeding in logical
order from a lucid explanation of ele
mentary concepts and the various
phases of economic activity to a phil
osophical discussion of human wealth
and welfare. The chapters are brief,
but in every one the high points are
brought out in bold relief and in pro
per relation to what goes before and
follows.
The aim is to give a bird's-eye view
of the business world and some
knowledge of what is going on above
and below the surface, for the benefit
of those who are beginning the study
of economics or who wish to review
their previous work.
Increase The Product
Spanish Army Massacred by Indians
Where Loup and Platte Rivers Join
The conflicts of labor and capital
about wages, interest, profits, and
rent have made both employers and
employees forget the fundamental
harmony of interests of all who work
together in the creation of wealth.
The author clearly shows that the
great thing is to increase the pro
duct of industry, and that no dis
putes about shares should be allowed
to interfere with that, lest we should
kill the goose that lays the golden
eggs. Both employers and employee
might well study such a book as this
around the same table.
Student Oftea Confused
Students are often confused and
discouraged when they are plunged
into the difficulties of our standard
text-books on economics, and many
are so completely lost that they caa
not see the forest for the trees. They
need, therefore, a preliminary bird's
eye view, such as this book supplies,
to give them the right perspective,
A massacre of the Spanish army by
me utoe tribo of Indians of Nebraska
occurred 203 years ago at the junc
tion of the Loup and Platte rivers ad
joining the present city of Columbus.
Strange, is it not? rather startling
to una that history after all, like
charity, begins at home.
An account of a Spanish expedi
tion, sent to explore the region of
the Missouri and to dre from these
quarters any Frenchmen settled there
which ended in the complete defeat
and destruction of their force, is giv
en in the "Nebraska History and Re
cord of Pioneer Days."
Warned by Comanches
Warned by the Padoka (Coman
che) that French trappers were
about to descend the Missouri to
search for mines and to try to cain
possession of New Mexico, 250 Span
iards, accompanied by the Padoka
nation, came to make an establish
ment on the Missouri. They brought
with them a large number of oxen,
cows and sheep, as they proposed to
make a permanent settlement. On
the way they defeated five nations.
The commandant believed that, after
one splendid victory, he was strong
enough to withstand anything. He
sent part of his force to conduct the
slaves taken in the villages he had
destroyed and advanced within fif
teen leagues of the Otoptata. He
had with him then, 60 Spaniards and
loO Padokas.
The Otoptata lived on the south
bank of the Platte near the point
where the river turns sharply in the
southern direction. Warned by the
Pani-Maha, who lived along the dif
ferent branches of the Loup and the
Platte rivers, of the Spanish approach
they marched forth to meet them.
They called themselves Pani-Maha
which was rendered easier since they
spoke the language of the Pani-Maha
as though their native language.
Commander Deceived
The Spanish commander, deceived,
asked if there were any French on
the Missouri river and assured them
that he would give them a great
quantity of goods if they would de
liver the French into his hands.
They replied that there wcro Fronch
with the Otoptata and that they
would make it easy for him to cap
ture them. They passed the night
together, but in very different ways
The Otoptata danced, the Padoka fled
with fear, while the Spaniards, aban
doned by their allies, kept on their
guard. The Spaniards feared noth
ing, since they trusted In such a great
number of the pretended Pani-Maha.
On the next day the savages pro
posed an Iroquois dance. The Span
iards agreed and unloaded their
mules in order to rest. About two
o'clock in the afternoon the Otoptata
asked for the lances of the Spaniards
for their dancers to use in the dance
and they were granted them. The
chief of the savages during the dance
formed his warriors in groups about
the Spaniards who were always under
arms. When he saw everything ar
ranged as he wished he fired a pistol
upon the Spanish. At the signal all
his men attacked with such impetu
osity that all the Spaniards were
killed in less than an instant Only
four of them were quick enough to
mount their horses and drive their
mules ahead of them. But some
young warriors seized their quivers,
shot and killed two of them. The
two sole survivors of the sixty Span
iards pushed on toward Mexico.
Sixty Massacred
The sixty-odd unhappy Spaniards
massacred by the Otoptata, were, in
truth, the obscure and unfortunate
victims of the system of John Law
and the fantastic schemes of the
Company of Indies. The great num
ber of mining tools which this expe
dition carried show that the Span
iards did not limit themselves to the
plan of keeping the French at a dis
tance from New Mexico, but also
cherished the hope of seizing the
fabled mines of the Missouri, so well
advertised on the Rue-Quiaquem-poix.
to help them to see the relation of
the parts to the whole, and to guide
them out of the maze. "First Eco
nomics" should be a good companion
volume to any of the standard texts.

and efficient management.
High Production Records
The Ag College is the only such in
