The Careless
ness of Man

Is often the cause of bitter disap-
pointments. The modern man
looks after the future welfare of
his family by buying life insur-
ance, Government bonds or some
other safe investment, and neg
lects one thing that possibly
would be more consolation and
comfort in case he was called
away. And that is a modern pho
tegraph; 800 of our business is
women and children. The men
are always putting it off until
finally a black gowned woman
brings in an old tin-type taken
when John was 20, and has it cop
led. Not much comfort, but it's
all she has. Don't you think a
small investment in photography
would be a good one for you?

The New system.

Under the old systems Of farm
ing, the more a man possessed of
arid land the poorer he was: but
all this has passed. A system of
arid land culture, without mriga-
ton, has been discovered and
successfully tested, that is des-
tined, at no distant day, to trans
form vast areas Of the desert
lands of the great west into farms
and gardens and prosperous COM
munities. New methods of cul-
tivation, new kinds of grain and
grasses, are all contributing to
this transforming work. The
new process has been in operation
on the dry plains of South Dako-
ia for a few years, and from Is
to 20 bushels of wheat to the
acre were raised last year and p, =
600 bushels of vegetables on a
limited area of desert land where
irrigation is impossible.
This new mode of farming on
desert lands is succeeding beyond
and above the most sanguine eX-
pectations of the first expert
mentors in South Dakota.

How We Grow.

In our joint efforts to advance
the general welfare, we should
bear in mind that progress goes
on just as society tends towards
closer association and greater
equality. Civilization is Good
Grafton, Union and liberty are
its factors. The great extension
of association not alone in the
growth of larger and denser COM
munities, but in the increase of
commerce and the manifold ex-
change which knit each commu-
nifty together and link them with
other though widely separated
communities; the advance in Sc
curity of property and person, in
individual liberty, and towards
democratic government advan-
ces in short towards the recog-
milton of the equal rights to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness it is these that make our
modern civilization so much
greater, so much higher than
any that has gone before. 1t is
these that have set free the men,
tai power which has rolled back
the veil of ignorance which hid
all but a small portion of the
globe from mems knowledge;
which has measured the orbits of
the circling spheres and bids us
see moving, pulsing life in a
drop of water; which has opened
to us the inte-chamber of ma
lures mysteries and read the Sc
crets of a long-buried past;
which has harneSsed in our SER
vice physical forces beside which
mans efforts are puny, and in
creased productive power by a
thousand great inventions.
To freedom alone is given the
spell of power which summons
the genii in whose keeping are
the treasures of earth and the
viewless forces of the air.

Six Hundred and Forty Acres

A few days since a Deming
gentleman insisted that the ma
tional homestead law had been
amended so that one could enter
GAO acres under the amended act.
The facts in the case are these;
Congress did pass an act grant
ing GAO acres of western Nebras-
ka lands to any one who would
accept the offer and attempt to
live there, because in its present
condition a goat confined to a
quarter section of that territory
would starve to death.
Since this change in the home
stead law was made, Mr.. Mondel,
Congressman from Wyoming, as
serts that he has made four or
five trips across western Nebras-
ka. and had observed no indica-
tons of settlement under the new
law, that there were no new
buildings going upnor apparently
any increased population. Con-
gress amended the homestead act
to a portion of country where a
man will not accept a section of
land as a gift.
The act doesn't apply to our
surrounding plains, where, few
years hence, men will come, set
tie down, go to work in the prop
way and make money from a
twenty acre farm.
Recently a bill has been intro
duced in congress to extend the
section provision of the home
stead act to eastern Colorado.

No More Army Blue.

Army blue will soon be a thing
of the past in the United States.
The War Department recently
issued an order providing all
troops in the United States
shall wear an olive drab
uniform, instead of the familiar
blue. Everything earthly chang
es with time, but the old
army blue will be missed the
country over: Even the officers
will have to give up the blue
dress uniforms. The song Army
Blue" maybe forgotten, but so
many traditions are woven about
this piece of music that it may
live, even though the army
blue" itself, rasses away.
Three cheers for the red, white and
olive drab,
is enough to cause every old un-
ion veteran to drop dead in his
tracks.

The Latest Move.

1t is only a short time since
France determined to liberate her
schools from church control; and
now she has gone still farther
and in her Legislative department
a bill was introduced on the 9th
inst. having for its purpose the
separation of church and state
throughout the French republic,
and the bill will be pushed to its
passage without delay. 1t has
been decided to put aside every
thing in order to secure the pas
sage of the separate bill. This bill
will undoubtedly pass both houses
by a heavy majority, and then
a state church in that republic
will be a thing of the past.
The effect of this radical
change upon the French people
will be watched with much inter-
est by other nations. both by
those that favor and those op-
posed to union of church and
state.
