The Farm Beats tho Mortgage.

me F1Em b0&VD CR0 UuOrCk8kVs
There is a story from Buffalo County
going the rounds that illustrates the re-
sources OF Nebraska farm: A farmer
up there from Missouri got discouraged
because he didn't get rich the first year,
and, as there was mortgage of 500 on
his farm, was about ready to jump the
whole business, but determined to make
one more effort and sowed eighty acres
in wheat. 1t happened to be poor
year for wheat and the stand was not
very good. Concluding that it wasn't
worth harvesting he pulled up his stakes
and moseyed back to Missouri, leaving
the farm to fight the mortgage all by
itself. The farm was equal to the occa-
sion
The wheat ripened, fell down and de-
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow Justify.
Some Of the neighbors were honest
enough to write about it down to the
fugitive in Missouri, and he got interested
enough to come back and take look
Then he stopped and harvested his volun
tary crop. He sold it for enough to pay
off the mortgage and the rest of his debts
and had a tidy little surplus over, with
which he moved his family back and now
declares there is NO State like Nebraska

Germany and united States Take Title
to the Islands.
It is announced officially that sGTeat
Britain renounces her rights in Samoa in
favor OF Germany. Under the Anglo
German agreement, which is subject to
the approval Of the United States, Ger
many comes into possession Of the larger
islands of Upolu and Savaii, and the
United States retains control of Tutuila.
Germany renounoes all rights to the
Tonga islands, $50 miles from Samoa;
the Savage islands, midway between Sa-
moa and Tonga, and cedes to Great
Britain two islands in the Solomon
group and makes certain concessions to
Great Britain i'm South Africa.
The main interest of the United States
in Samoa is i'm the harbor Of Pango-
Pango and the possession of the island of
Tutuila. This Government has never
claimed control of any of the other ISL
ands, but joined in treaty with Great
Britain and Germany because of the in
terests of American citizens in the plan
tations of Upolu. The commission APP
pointed to settle the controversies as to
the land titles confirmed the titles Of
Germans to $4,000 acres, the British to
$4,000, and the Americans to p, OO0
acres.
