East African Religious Ceremony.

Recently a strange ceremony was
performed at Changamwe, East Afri.
ca, to. bring rain A. house-to-house
visit was made among the natives by
self-appointed committee who col
lected from each hut the sum of two
annas. With the total thus collected
an OK was purchased. A procession
was then formed, in which all the
available children took part. After
the procession had proceeded around
the district for period of two hours,
the OK was sacrificed, prayers from
the Koran being sang by the children.
The meat of the OK was then boiled
in pots by adult participators and
given to the children to eat until the
whole was consumed. The bones and
remaining offal of the carcass were
later put in sack. carefully carried
to the sea and thrown into deep water
Circumstantially rain fell for a few
hours on the succeeding day.

Harm in Roenteen Rays.

According to a Danish medical
journal the Roentgen rays were re-
Gently used upon a boy years old
who was treated in hospital for a
disease of the hair. After 25 applica
lions OF the rays the lad was sent
home cured. But whereas his nature
had previously been bright and intel
ligent, now he became absent-minded
and unreliable, and was sent back to
the hospital. He has been for some
time SINCE under medical observation
and the pronouncement of the doctors
attending the case Is that the Roent
gen rays can easily penetrate the thin
scalp of a child and have an undesir
able influence ON the brain.

RESOLUTIONS.

Believing the interests of the
town or city, and the country are
the same; that the prosperity OF
the farmers means the prosperity
OF the town: also believing that
the system of Farmers Institute
maintained by our state, is the
best possible means of bringing
the farmer and the business man
OF the town together for mutual
cooperation and education for the
better improvement of all the
people, both farmer and towns.

WHEREAs-The business men
of Broken Bow, haveso gener-
ously contributed the necessary
funds to pay the large premiums
offered by this institute for the
boys and girls contest now being
held in addition to entertaining
free, all visitors; the people from
the country in attendance at the
institute thereby encouraging
the boys and girls to make better
use of their opportunity in life by
gaining a more thorough know
ledge of how to do things, and
also by encouraging the farmers
of the country to attend the in
stitute and gain the advantages
of the varied experience and
knowledge of the successful men
of the state.
Thereby knowing the farmers
OF the county that they are awake
to the fact that the success of
the business man depends upon
the success of the farmer and

Ipected. He was called to the
platform however, and talked for
lsome five minutes with great
difficulty. President Ream then
called for Co. Supt. Pinckney, as
the one person who had been
most active in the boys and girls
movement in Custer county. Mr..
bishop hoarsely stated that he
authorized Supt. Pinckney to
make the remainder of his adj
dress. Mr.. Pinckney spoke at
some length, and then called for
the singing of the Nebraska
Corn Song" as printed in these
columns last week, of which Mr..
Bishop is the author. The au-
dience joined heartily in singing
the song to the tune of March
ing through Georgia." after
which Mr.. Pinckney assured them
that this song was Supt. Bishops
address.
1t was decided and ANNOUNCED
at this juncture, that the organ
ization OF the Boys and Girls
Association would be deferred
until after the state contest, Mr..
Bishop having said tina t
he and his helpers would write a
summary of the plans that had
been tried in various localities,
with suggestions as to the best
methods, which it is expected
will be of much benefit in plan
ming the work for the coming
year.
Prof. Zook, of the State Farm
then took the platform, and ex-
planned clearly the principles that
guide in the scoring of corn,
and announced the prizes for

Thursday, Dec. 20, 1907.

One can scarcely pick up a
newspaper in Nebraska and scan
its columns without running
across at least one item which
reads that Mr.. and Mrs. So and
So are going east for a visit, or
to California or Florida for the
winter. What does it mean?
Simply that we live in a state
where one not only gets living,
but more than that is able, after
few years of strict attention to
business, to indulge in the luxur.
les. 1t hasn't been many years
since a farmer and his wife in a
sleeping car were a curiosity.
Then the city man and his wife
were supposed to do all of the
travelling. Now the farmer takes
his phone directory, calls up the
agent at the nearest railway sta
ton, arranges for a sleeper to
New York, LosAngeles, or else
where, and in a few days you see
him and Mrs. Farmer responding
to last call for the dining car"
with as much grace and ease as
any city couple. The rank and
file of Nebraska's population is
far and away ahead of what it
was decade ago and the increas-
ing number who daily pack their
trunks and take a pleasure trip
is an excellent indication of the
financial pulse of a community or
a state.
