The most encouraging re-
ports come from all sections
of Nebraska regarding vim
ter wheat and the condition
Of the growing crop. The
amount sowr will average

"A Practical Question
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange
What would be thought
OF a farmer who should
neglect to till the ground
and sow the seed for the
future h arvest? What
would we say of the mer-
chant who fails to lay in
the stock of goods required
for his trade? What would
be our opinion of the navi-
gator should he 60 to sea
without chart or compass
and in an Impoverished
ship? Is it not true that
success IN any undertaking
involves preparation? What
then, of the young man or
woman who makes no pro.
vision for future success
by any sort of preparation?
In order to make your po-
sition in life secure, you
must be able to do some one
thing well; and to acquire
this ability, you must ex'
pect to invest both titne
and money in adequate prep
aratlOn tor your chosen
work. If you have the
slightest claims to good
sense, you know this is
true; but the practical ques.
tion to put to yourslf now
Is; What am I doing
about it now?'

Sharp County record., 1897-11-05

The creature who makes
a regular practice of bor-
rowing his county paper,
when he can buy it for two
cents a week, is too sneak
ing mean to die and too
everlasting stingy to live.
He ought to be translated Il
hog, heaven, if there is such
a country, and doomed to
feed on husks with the swine,
till, like the prodigal, he
awakens to his senses and
resolves to come back to
earth and be a man. --ES.
