WISDOM AND LOCALITY.
Philadelphia Editor Criticises Indiana
bachelors Club

There may be more in continuing to
believe the old statement that the wise
men came out of the east than the
pride of those residing in other direc-
tions of the compass is disposed TO adj
NIT. COnfining investigation of the
general truth of the saying to our own
country there is abundance of evidence
that the west cannot make too hope
full fight against whatever of oppro-
brium the term implies.
In one of the presumably most in
telligent counties of the state of In
diana a lot of bachelors, to the num-
Der Of twenty-five. have formed them
selves into club with the avowed
purpose of altogether stunning wom-
ankind. on the ground that their So
ciety is far from being essential to
masculine happiness. The pains and
penalties which may follow any infrac-
ton of the solemn oath taken to carry
out the purposes of the organization
have not been mentioned, but as by
inference its violation would indicate
possibility of marriage on the Gull
prit's part, perhaps they think that
were punishment enough.
Omitting further consideration of
the incident in it's bearing on western
wisdom. the finish of this anti-femin-
inc club may be easily seen in the fate
of a somewhat similar movement else
where. About five years ago a score
of young ladies graduating from one of
our leading colleges formed a compact
never TO marry. A formal bond was
drawn. all signed it, and as a further
expression of their earnestneSs large
silver medals were struck to serve as
mementOes of the occasion and as in
stigations TO memory to be vigilant.
At latest accounts fourteen of the
twenty girls had given their medals to
their babies to cut their teeth on

NEBRASKA
THE LAND
OF PLENTY

l wonder why it is that so many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is a land of plenty
Nebraska where all kinds of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for "The Corn Belt" a
beautifully illustrated monthly
paper that tells all about Nebraska,
and also for 1.-The West Nebraska
Grazing Country, an interesting
illustrated booklet containing a
large sectional map of Nebraska.
On the first and third Tuesdays
of each month during the balance
of this year cheap excursion
tickets will be sold over our road
to Nebraska, so that people may go
and see for themselves. Ask your
ticket agent about this.

Ireland Loses Population

The population of Ireland still ap-
pears to be on the decline. The quar-
terly return of the registrar-general up
to the last day of March shows a de-
crease of 1915, of whom 1902 was
debited to emigration. The estimated
population of Ireland is now 4,504, 900,
or little more than half what 1t was
in 1871, when it stood at S.175 900.

the British commander in chief in South

"Consuls Of America, Germany, France

consuls entirely concurred with the Brit

Lord Roberts adds that he forthwith
ordered the deportation of all foreigners
arrested in connection with the plot for

foreigners were deported, except employ
