But the midsummer has brought such excessive heat that those who had settled them selves comfortably for few weeks long CT in town are unable to endure the heat and in onsequence there are daily de- partures for the mountains and the shore.

PROFESSOR CONGER
Slowly but Surely Climbing the
Ladder of Fame. At Present an
Instructor in Ga1esburg, III.

Knowing that the many friends
of Prof. Conger feel an interest in
his success, and that they would be
glad to know something OF his
career since he left Extra, we pub
lish the following:
Before his three years among us
as principal of our schools, Mr..
Conger had spent two years at the
University of Nebraska. After
leaving Extra, he entered the Uni
versity of Michigan where he re-
ceived his degree of B. A. in 1904
and that of M. A. 1905. While there
he held the Fellowship of American
History, and when he left Michi-
gan for the University of Wisconsin
he received the appointment to the
Fellowship of American History,
and was afterwards made Assistant
in American History. Last year
he received his degree of Phi. D.
from Wisconsin University and
later spent several months in the
south engaged in research work.
He was at one time a member of
the American Archives Commits
sion for Michigan and his report
was published in 1902. At present
he holds the Chair of Economics
and History in Knox College,
Galesburg, Illinois, where those
who know him best feel as sure of
his success as if the pages of the
future lay open to their view.
His friends here wish him that
full measure of success which
crowns the efforts of him who puts
into his daily work the true spirit
of honest and faithful endeavor.

THE CHILDREN'R HOME
At Council Bluffs, Iowa Has About
Two Hundred Children Entrusted
to its Care. Doing Good Work

Ihe Christian Home Orphanage
of Council Bluffs, Iowa, is nearing
it's quarter century of work for
orphan, destitute and afflicted
children. The institution was
founded in 1882 and during that
time has cared for many thousands
of children who would otherwise
grow up in ignorance and form a
great problem for society to solve.
The Home is preparing to cele-
brate the closing OF the year by the
dedication of another splendid new
building for the care of detormed
and crippled children, being the
only institution in the middle west
which provides for this most needy
and pathetic class. The building
will be fully equipped for the care
full and proper treatment of such
cases as come under it's care.
The Home ia large and varied in
it's departments, having four large
main buildings, and in it's work it
embraces not only the regular
work of children's home and the
constant placing of homeless chill
dren in private, Christian families
but it also conducts department
or hospital for detormed and afflict-
ed children; a department for aged
helpless women and department
for destitute widows with children
who need temporary and imme.
diate assistance.
The Home also conducts it's own
school and, as fast as means will
permit, other industrial depart.
ments are being added for the
teaching of trades to such children
as are physically deformed, there
by rendering it impossible to place
them in private families but who
Notwithstanding, can become self.
supporting.
The value and importance OF
work for this hitherto sadly neg
lected class who have been left to
grow up in vice, a constantly in.
creasing source of expense to the
state in court costs, ETC., canuot be
estimated and should appeal to the
hearts of all who are in sympathy
with neglected children.
1t will we'll repay anyone to visit
this great institution which is open
to visitors every day in the year.
The management will be glad to
mail to any interested person an

Having constantly an average Of
two hundred in it's care, funds are
greatly needed for the proper car
rying on of the work and we trust
that the readers of this paper will
open their hearts and hands to il
and, remembering the near ap.
proach of Thanksgiving, send ar
offering of cash, food, fruit O,
