Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1905-01-12

Attorney General Moody re-
sumed his argument in the beef
trust case in the United States
supreme court Monday. This is
a question that is of great inter
est to the west where the greater
part of the beef is produced.
There should not be such great
difference between the price of
cattle and fresh beef as prevails
in the markets. General Moody
will use his best eudeavors to see
that the trust agreement now
prevailing among the packer is
broken up. May the day be has
tened.

A Letter From R. J. WiIIingham.
Richmond Va.

Richmond Va.
DEAR SISTERS:-I have been request.
ed by the Corresponding Secretary OF
the Woman's Missionary Union to send
a word of greeting to you. 1t Is with
pleasure 1 write this letter.
I have watched with interest the
gradual enlarging of the work OF our
sisters. Your contributions the past
year for world wide evangelization were
larger than ever in the past, and l
noticed that at the annual meeting OF
the W. M. u, while, we asked that the
Sisters try to raise $50, 600 this year,
they agreed to raise $63, 500.
How easily this money can be raised,
if each one will decide to give, and then
influence some one else to give for the
work of our Lord.
One cent a week set apart by each
sister in our convention for this great
work, would amount to over $500, 600
for the year. One cent q month would
amount to about S12O,OO0 for the year.
AT u annual convention in Kansas
City in May n sister sent her check
for $1,000, and this made a glorious be-
ginning. The noble example which she
has set of conservation to her Lord ought
to be an inspiration to others.
Last year we sent out fifty new mis-
%sionaries. Of these twenty-six were
women. While a number of our con-
centrated sisters are going to the for
eign field, those who stay at home ought
to give literally for the service of the
Master.
We have never had so many converts
in n year as We reported for the past
year, 1921. I want each sister to pray
to God that this year may have thous-
ands of converts.
Let us look to our God for His bless
ings on our workers at the front.
Thanking you for the great help which
you have given, and praying Gods rich
blessings to rest upon you, I am,
Yours fraternally.

FARMERS INSTITUTE HIRE.
About 100 Representatives Of Our L6ri-
cultural interests Present.

An institute for the benefit of the
farmers of Henderson county was held
in the court house on Wednesday OF
last week. The attendance was fairly
good and the meeting will be productive
of good results. DR.. TAFT Butler, state
veterinarian, presided.
Prof. Hume was the first speaker.
His subject was On the Improvement OF
the soil. Every farmer in the county
ought to have heard him. There was
about 100 in his audience who listened
attentively to what he said. He dwalt
considerably upon humus in the soil,
how important it was to keep it there
all the time and the best way of supply
ing it.
He demonstrated this fact, that red,
stiff soils needed humus to make it po-
rous, SO the roots of the plant could find
nourishment in the soil, and that light,
sandy soils needed humus to absorb and
hold moisture for the growing plant.
Prof. Hume also explained how soils
and plants could be inoculated with bac-
terra, so rs to draw, from the air, nitro
gen, instead of buying 1t in fertilizers.
This talk of Prof, Hume will result in
much good wherever he goes especially
to that class of farmers who want to
learn more about their calling.
DR.. TAFT Butler then gave a talk on
Il tho nnnn 0pnn "hinh nnnfofnlu 0nd
ought to bring good results wherever
he goes.
He demonstrated, beyond the ques-
ton of a doubt, that the farmers are
losing from 40 to so per cent. of this
wonderful and great crop by not util-
izing, in the best way, the stalks,
shucks and blades. He cited expert
ment after experiment that had been
made by the different. experiment sta
tions IN the country by analysis and
feeding, and explained in detail, the
best and most economical way to gather
and prepare this stover that has hereto
fore gone largely to waste.
In the afternoon, Prof. Hume spoke on
fruit culture. His talk at our last fair
on the same subject covered about the
same ground, butwas received again with
much interest. He described fully, in
every particular, bow to get the best
from an apple teee, and those who have
apple trees and did not hear him have
lost much valuable information.
The department. could not spend any
money more advantageously to the farm
er than by publishing these g~entlemen's
addresses and scattering them profusely
over the state. They n doing q good
work. And Henderson county ought to
hold an institute at the fair grounds for
at least three days next summer, where
all the family of each farmer could
come and bring dinner and be out OF
the hustle and hustle of town and have
nothing to do but teach and be taught.

DINNER WITH "BOOKER T."

Booker T. Washington is again
receiving the attention of the
southern press. He has not been
dining with President Roosevelt
this time, but accepted the cour-
tesies of John Wannamaker,
another big republican, and Post
master General under William
II. Harrison during first term as
president. The late incident oc-
CURED at the United States Hotel,
Saratoga, N. Y. The story goes
that Booker escorted a married
daughter of Mr.. Wannamaker
down the long aisle leading to the
table and that the affair created a
"small sensation" Washington
says he dined with the Wanna
maker family, but undertakes to
deny the balance of the story.
That, of itself, is nauseating
enough to a southern white man.
It is hard to tell which is desery-
ing of the most pity, Booker,
Wannamaker, or the latter's
daughter. One is about as re-
spectacle as the other ; all have
lowered themselves in the estima-
ton of every self-respecting white
citizen of America. Booker init
mates, in his attempted explana-
ton, that he has enjoyed Wanna
makers hospitality several times
previous to the Saratoga dinner
last week and suggests that he
ought to have better sense then
yield to temptations of similar
import at the north. Such Incl
dents, as the one recited, cannot
possibly help him, or his race. 1t
shows weakness and a desire for
social equality.
Washington is the recognized
leader of his race and pretends to
be trying to improve the condi-
ton of the colored people. He
has said and done some good
things for them and many white
people had come to the point
where they were willing to encour-
age him in said work, but since
seeing his weakness for social
equality, they will drop him like
a hot brick. A southern white
man cannot give encouragement
to that sort of thing and such
fool-hardiness on Washington's
part will tend only to widen the
breach between the white and
colored races in this section, along
other than social lines. The white
people of the south have shown a
disposition to help the negro in
matters of education and indus
trial progress. but they revolt at
the idea of recognizing him as
their equal in a social way. And
all the Theodore Roosevelts,
Ogdens. Wannamakers and what
nots" cannot change them on iota.
It is worse than folly to try.
Every time Booker tumbles to the
whims of his white equals(O in
the northern cities he damages the
cause of the colored people
throughout the entire south,
where nine-tenths of them now
live and are likely to remain. If
men like John Wannamaker have
no more consideration than to
lower themselves to the level of
the negro, Booker Washington and
other members of his race would
do best to respectfully decline
their courtesies, if they expect the
respect of southern white people.
