Clear Greek farming is undergoing a
change, and a change for the better we
believe.
Hon. A. II. Copsey made few days
visit home last week. Mr.. Copsey is
making a frst-clast record as legislator.
The much needed elevator bill is one of
Mr.. Copsey's favorite measures, and if it
is enacted into law, the farmers of Ne.
braska will discover that there are mil
lions in it.
The Beatrice Creamery Co. have es-
tablished a creamery station at Wester-
vile, and goodly number of our people
have bought DeLaval separators. The
company pays twenty-four cents pound
for butter fat, while grocery butter mer-
chants only pay from twelve to thirteen
cents for butter. The farmers who pat
ronize the creamery machines are max
ing double the money of those who do
not give up the old laborious methods of
getting their milk products to market.
We prophesy that within one year every
farmer who milks five cows will join the
separator army.
George Welsh and Miss Marion Clark
have entered into life partnership. The
contract was witnessed by Rev. Schwartz
and sanctioned by the relatives of the
worthy couple. George has more than a
local reputation for being an upright,
steady and industrious young man, and
it goes without saying that he has cap
tured prize in winning Miss Marion for
his bride. May Clark, as she was called,
has long borne the reputation of being
the handsomest and most accomplished
young lady in Clear Creek valley. Many
beautiful presents were received by the
happy pair, but the father of the bride
capped the climax in this respect by
drawing his check for thousand dollars
as dowary to his only child

Houses Challenge Accepted

1t has lately come to our notice
that Mr.. l.. II. House claims that
the Empire Hand Separator is
the best hand separator in exist
ence, and challenges any hand
separator on earth to enter into a
contest will the Empire machine
on capacity, cleanliness of skim
ming at different temperatures,
density of cream and durability
of machine. Winner to take
both machines.
We, of course, cannot agree
with Mr.. Houses statment in
that the Empire Machine is the
best machine on earth, and are
willing to accept his challenge
as above stated with the addition
however, that we we will put up
500 in cash against 500 in cash
from him. This being the value
of our Baby l Separator. The
reason we prefer the cash to the
Separator is because we could use
the cash to much better advan-
tage than we could the Empire
Hand Separator.
Or, if the above proposition
does not meet with Mr.. Houses
approval, we will agree to enter
into a contest to show the superb
ority of the DeLaval over the
Empire and the looser to pay
the expenses.
Or, we will agree to enter into
contest to show the merits of
the two machines, each party
paying his own expenses.
Time of contest, place and
manner of selecting judges, shall
be determined upon Mr., Houses
acceptance of either of the pro-
positions. f. H. GRAHAM,

FOOD PROTE, TION.
rhe Circuit court Of the United States
Decides IN Favor Of the liner seal
Package.

A decision far reaching in its
effect and of interest to all lovers
of pure food, has just been hand
ed down by Judge Adams in the
Circuit Court of the United
States.
The suit IN question was
brought against The Union Bis
cult Company for infringement
on the In-er-seal package, con-
trolled exclusively by The
National Biscuit Company, for
the protection of biscuit and
crackers against dust. moisture,
odor and dust.
In deciding against the Union
Biscuit Comaany, Judge Adams
says:
THE proof abundantly shows
that prior to the invention of the
patent, the old paper cartons or
boxes, were inadequate to the de-
nands of the service required of
them; that their contents deteri-
Grated rapidly in substance and
flavor;that they were subjected to
the baneful effects Of the air,
moisture and dust. Since the
introduction of the box of the
patent a radical change has taken
place. This box has been found
equal to the climatic and other
local conditions in all parts of the
country, from New Orleans to
New York, from Florida to
Minnesota, and from California to
Massachusetts. The uniform
testimony from all these regions
is to the effect that the contents
of the box are preserved in their
original freshness ana HaVor.
The whole testimony in my
opinion clearly shows that the
box of the patent materially
facilitates the distribution of in
expensive food products to the
consumer and at the same time
lessons the cost and enhances the
intrinsic value of such products. y
Judge Adams full decision
against the infringement not on
ly shows the great Importance OF
the In-er-seal package, but is sc
broad and conclusive as to pre-
vent any further infringement OF
use in violation of the rights OF
the National Biscuit Company.

THE CLOSING OF GIBBON NORMAL.
The Explanation BY One Of Its Founders,
George E. BOggs, OF this County.

The following letter is self ex-
planitory and we can assure Mr..
Boggs that his many friends in
Custer County will be pleased to
learn that the change from
Gibbon to Hastings was in the
interest of greater possibilities
and not from a financial failure.
ED.
Hastings, Neb. Feb. %, 1908.
Mr.. D. M. Amsberry,
Broken Bow, Neb.
DEAR SIR:-I have just learned
that your paper had an item to
the effect that the Gibbon
Normal and Business College,
had closee on account of financial
embarrassment. l would like to
make correction. The college
did not break up financially.
The title to the college building
was found to be defective and
could not be arranged satisfactor-
lily was the primary reason for
making a change. There was
also an opportunity of consolidat-
ing with the Business College in
Hastings which was accepted.
Instead of becoming insolvent
the institution is now stronger
than before. Ali scholarships
have been recognized and most
of our Gibbon students are here.
1t may also be of interest to my
friends in Custer county, though
they may know of it, to add that
our college here was entirely
burned last night. The loss will
be about $1,000 with $500 insur'
ance. All the typewriting
machines were saved also some
little furniture. We have secur
ed other very desirable rooms ant
will open school Monday morn
ing. Thanking you in advance
for the opportunity of explaining

Opportunities
in The South

No portion of the United States
has made greater progress in the
last year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital is
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment in
the various industries and fac
tories that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands of
all kinds and prices are gradu-
ally advancing, as they will for
years to come. Work is plenti-
full and roverty practically UNI
known. Alabama is supplying
coal and iron to all the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor i'll the raising of
small fruits and berries and in
truck patching on the Gulf
Coast than in any other state in
the Union. Strawberries from
Alabama reach northern mark
cts before those from the states
in the southeast. Cattle can be
/ raised with great profit, there
pbeing millions of acres of cheap
range lands. If your are inrer-
ested in the south and its re-
sources and desire information
