of the awful condition of agriculture In
my country, the tbousrht occurred to me
that It was a noble tank and patriotic, work
to help the poor farmer to understand the
simple laws. of nature o easy to under
stand and follow, but that nobody can
violate without paying: -the- penalty.
To. this end- 1. have started, an active
campaign i to. disseminate more simple
knowledge, which will result In the better
ment ot farming:, will make the soil pro
duce more, because I think that countries
are worthy, of what tholr soil produces. I
have tried to make my countrymen under
stand that the secret of failure is -pretty
sure to lie. In the fast, that our-soil la
getting worn-out. . 'V.
Nature talks loud ano"-yet many ld not
hear, Blie haa-said -over and over again
that ' she ' will -punish . the soli robber and
some seem to think that she Is Joking.
Mexlcaua, Farmers -Await Light.
The result ct my campaign Is that I have
created some Interest, and awakened en
thusiasm among some farmers of Mexico.
All the pnws have pulbisbed , eneontiaatio
reports ot.my propaganda.. The number of
letters requiring Information from all parts
of the country makes me believe that the
farmers are not so skeptical as they, say
they are and I eomo to the conclusion that
If they do not follow any new way It Is
because they do not know how and they
are waiting Tor' somebody to show them
the true road to wealth and prosperity.
Senor- Domlngyes told . how Mexico has
been, robbing the soil and of his fight to
prevent this, saying?
In one word I have been trying to put
In the heart of my countrymen that we
are the stewards of our lands and as
such we have to . give an account of our
stewardship. No man has the right to
rob hl.i neighbor and our neighbor is the
man of the new generation. We must
live on- our farms thinking how hard
times our sons are t have. We mus,t
not raise grain after grain until fertility
Ik exhausted and the soil la out of physi
cal condition that the next generation
must suffer.
Tha.gpmt steward will not only return
th principal., but the. Interest.
We have the land, we have the rains, we
have the-sun and light; the only, thing that
we want is the duo to put these forces
in the proper channel, the mnn thst mixes
brains with his work the Intelligence to
use this, wonderfnl rsoure. I -am . sure
to find these men scattered all over the
fiui't'y. .na a natural result of the ..long
period of pvace that we enjoy.
With modern Imple-nents. scientific meth
od, cheap land, low-wagtw. no competition."
Ii'gh rrUrs for avrkullu-ral products, I do i
not heattMe In,, saying that agriculture in
Mexico rlujuld be the most profitable busi
ness that even existed. There Is a good
chance foe homestwktrs te go to tbls vlrdn

PIONEERS AT. CORN, EXPOSITION
Early Residents , of Stat. Celebrate.
Special Day with, Prosrram
Pioneers from all parts of Nebraska were
present Wednesday afternoon te- enjoy the
Pioneer day exercises at the National Corn
exposition. Many of them were residents
of the state over half a century ago, and 1
were not merely among the residents of the
territory, but helped to mould the common- i
wealth.
Martin Langdon of Omaha, chairman of '
the local committee of arrangements, pre
sided at the opening ot the meeting and .In
a brief address introduced, A. N. Yost, presi
dent ot the Nebraska Territorial Pioneers'
association, who took charge of the meet,
ing, for- the afternoon.. Mr,. Ypav. gave.. a j
short sketch , of the pioneer days.ot Ne- I
braska and Omaha and recalled that Igan
Fontanelle sold twenty miles square, ef , this
part of Nebraska for $10, and that tire .town
FoQtapellq came near, being .the metropolis
of thestate away, back: In tbs 'Ms. He-tben
Introduced. ex-Governor - Irensa Crounoa,
who spoke briefly of his ear y experiences
In tee territory and particularly of tho-wurlc
wrought.by such men as Dr. George x
Miller and others of the early rdays. Presi
dent p. W. Wattles of . the National .Corn
I
exposition extended a warm and cordial
welcome to the pioneers.
A selection of old-time aire followed by
Green's band, which brought out an enthus
iasts encore, and then the band played
"The Star-Spangled Banner." As the first
trains of the national anthem burst forth
the great audience arose and remained
standing through th.e entire number, .
Dr. George U Miller, the father of Omaha
and Nebraska, was the last speaker and
as he . stepped ; forward : to . speak . he was
greeted with every expression of enthusi
asm. Dr. Miller delivered one ot his char
acteristic addresses, extolling the privations
of the early pioneers, their unwavering
optimism and unbounded faith in the future
of Nebraska, which has been fittingly real
ized by this great exposition. He dwelt
upon the duty the farmers of Nebraska
owed to the soil, which was productive of
such wealth as Is shown in the display of
western products now exhibited In Omaha,
and admonished them against too prodigal
a waste of the natural resources of the
soil, so that It would not meet the fate of
the wornout and exhauated farming lands
of the east.
Another selection by the band closed the
meeting, after which many remained to
take in the auctioning off of the prise corn.

The liveliest Interest . was taken in the
auction sale Wednesday afternoon, . when
Prof. J. Wilkes Jones as the auctioneer, an
nounced that the prise winners of the great
National Corn exposition would, be sold to
the . highest . bidders. After, two. or. three
minor: sales of Individual, ears of corn had
been- sold-for $11,. (10 and IS, respectively,
and one bunch of ten. ears ot, north central
Iowa early maturing corn foc$25, the. Inter
est began to .show the deepest intensity.
The fifth bunch of corn offered waa the
11.000. prise tea eara of corn grown by U a
Clpre ot Johnson county. Indiana. The bid
ding started at 135 and then began, to leap
by $10 bounds until It reached 1290. Prof.
Jones deprecsted the Idea that this ten
best ears of corn In the world should be
permitted to go for that amount, and then
some one raised the bid f26. Raises of $10
followed rapidly, and after reaching the
$260 figure, the raises fell to $5 and so they
kept up until knocked down to E E. Favelle,
editor of the "Successful Farming," of Des
Moines, la., st tlSO. A cheer went up when

Several other groups of corn brought ex
traordinary prices, as did a number of In
dividual .ears from different states, a num
ber, of which were bid In by Mr. Favelle
Mr. Favelle was called, to the auctioneer's
ataod by Prof. Jones that the audience
might see the man. who waa not afraid to
buy the best corn In the world, at any price,
"I have bought this corn," said. Mr. Fa
velle, "tor the reason that I want to see
this best seed .corn In the world distributed
throughout the great corn grewlng area,
where it will be placed In the hands of
men In d'tfcrent localities, that all may re
ceive the benefit of 'this seed 'rather than

Shalienberger, this fall. With more energy
than will ever be displayed by a Mullen
or any . of those who have received poLt
Ical rewards, Mr, Tibbies was , speaking
day and night, and while other slept he
traveled to the next appointment. It was
on. one of these trips when he was almost'
killed. It . was dark and the roads . were
muddy. The buggy was turned- over and
the veteran populist was thrown out Into
a iHiddle of water. It was hours later' be-
ore he reached a fire and thawed out
From that came the rheumatism, and the
a.ckness, tbe first In. many years-
But not until after the votes had been
counted did the old soldier, give up. Then
he quietly went to his homestead near Ban
croft and took, te his bed. No flowers .were
sent,-him; no messages of love and en
couragement: from those, he had helped
Not one..
Then his friends proposed 1 his name for
an office. Just a litt.e xne to show democ
racy's gratitude. But Arthur Mullen had
to be taken care of; doxens of young msn
needed places; Tom Allen's friends .had to
get In; politicians who knew not how. to
work for principle only had to be cared for.
And then his work was discredited.' The
fact that he and he alone lined up old
time populists whq could never, have been
lined up for the party that defeated George
W. Berge was , lost sight of. The credit
was given to Mullen, to E. Arthur Carr, to
Tom Allen and to others, but not to Thomas
Tibbies.
But It Is not the first time. The same
bunch has always . used him and the same
bunch haa always turned. him, down when
the. distribution of plump, occurred..
An so Tom- Tibbies and C- S, Jones,, old
war, horses, sat in tbe - Lincoln hotel the
other day and communed with each other.
And those who looked on called It tragedy.
Mr. Bryan, was down. In Texas, and Old
Mexico hunting and haying agood time.
