carried on through the season. At the
Kansas game one of the Nebraska university
fraternities appeared on the field floating
the Kansas colors and at the same game
members of another fraternity encouraged
the Kansans from the sidelines.
All of the teams played by Nebraska this
year had an advantage in weight and many
of them in experience Missouri was made
up almost entirely of last years players and
the same might be said Of Kansas.
For next year the prospects are more en-
couraglng. There will be an abundance Of
good material for positions in the line; it
is probable also that the backs will be as
strong as usual. Both Williams and Ben

in the game again and Drain, the fast end,
will also be back for his old position. 1t is
also expected that several good men from
the Omaha and Lincoln High school teams
will enter the squad. Other members of
this years team who will be on the field
next year are Ringer, Gordon, Tukey, Wal
lace, Westover, Cortelyou, Koehler, Bel,
Hunter and Tyson. The latter was injured
in the game at Ames and compelled to re-
frain from practice for the balance of the
season. Hunter developed to a remarkable
extent during the latter part of the sea-
son and it is thought that he has 'cinch'
on one of the back positions on next years
team.

To the Tobacco Growers of North Caro-
Tina:
By q resolution of the North Caro-
lima Tobacco Growers Association,
which met in Raleigh, Dec. 6 b., 1899,
all tobacco farmers in North Carolina
are asked to assemble at their various
county seats on the first Monday in
January, and organize county essocIa
tions and send one or more delega tes
not e &C liag five from each county,
to a convention 70 be held IN R leigh,
January I'm 1900. a: z p m
Planters IN Virginia, Soutn Carolina,
and Tennessee are invi7ed to j0in us,
form county ass ciations aud send dele
gates to this convention.
At these county meetings it is ear
nestly desired that the tobacco business
in all it's phases be fully and freely
discussed, especially in relation to pro
duc5ion consumption, local CO opera
tive factories, markets, etc also as
c%ertaining as accurately as possible the
acreage for the county. yield per acre,
proportion OF crop marketed, class of
tobacco raised, prices, etc.
If for any eason COUNTIES fail to or
ganize individual growers from those
COUNTS may attend as delegates.
Thorough orgaoiz4tion is necessary

At this rate the government cOuIG
gam DOS session of the entire telegraph
~ stem OF the United States the first
year. The next year it could acquire
the telephones. The third year it could
pay for che Nicarauga Canal. Within
ten years it could have control Of the
principal trunk lines Of railroad trav
ersiDg the Union from East to West
and from North to South. In twenty
years it could own the ma lrity of the
stock in ell the railroads Of the c0un
try. In a hundred years it would have
nearly twice the wealth Of the nation
iu 1900
All this would be accomplished with
out going into debt or taking any risks
whatever. And if, at any time after
this accumulation Of property had
reached substantial proportions. a for
eign war or other emergency should
arise. it would not be necessary either
to borrow money or increase taxes to
meet it. With an income from invested
funds of from 81. 600, 900 900 to 81 OOO,,
900, 600 a year, all the government
would have to do would be to suspend
new investments for a few months and
apply its dividends to the demands Of
the occasion.
Similar opportunities are open to all
other governments, State and local.
The city of New York for instance
with a revenue of 800. 900 900 a year,
could easily lay aside $40, OOO. 600 by
intelligent economics for investment in
{ treet railroad, gas and electric ligh.
and power works, steam heating plants
and other productive enterprises of the
kind. The principal street railroads Of
Caioago pay returns OF from 10 to II
per cent. on the nominal capitalization
which is estimated to be equivalent to
80 per cent. on the actual investment.
Assume an average return of only four
per cent on the investment in Yew
York, aud the &C ,umulations OF an an

By q similar policy New Y0rk State

even il it could save only q few thou

o the Coal, Steel, Sugar and Standard
Oil trusts drawn, and these monoDolies

The process OF Investment could vary
according to circumstances. In many
cases it could doubtless be carried out
to advantage by simply buying stocks.
When stocks embodg honest values,
not water, and paying fair dividends
could be obtained on reasonable terms,
their purchase would be a convenient
method of gaining control Of the prop
erty they represented. To prevent
forcing up prices on the market, the
government could announce that it
would take ell Of certain stocks offered
to it at certain fixed rates In other
cases it would be best to condemn the
properties, and in others to undertake
new construction.
With this policy systematically fol

have a country free from debt and

sioners met Monday evening to formally
accept the bridges and issue orders in
payment for them. One OF the bridges
spans Smith creek on the border Of Jer-

this county bears half the expense, and
Jerauld county half. The other bridge
is in Red Lake township and cost 500.
Two other bridges are wanted in the
county, one in Lyon township, but the
commissioners are anxious to keep the

to the county just now than actually

in the price of milk The creamery bus

more. This is a tremendous advance.
1t means that the patron has to deliver

considerable, too, over former years.
