Fair Sized CornfieIds.

From the Nebraska State journal.
Not much less than 5000 900 acres of
corn has been planted in the past 10
days in Nebraska. This averages close
to 40 acres for every farmer in the
state. That the task offers no great
difficulties we may judge from the re-
port of two Rulo farmers who plowed
ana planted 30 acres each in the last
three days of last week The agricul-
tural scientists find fault with this
method of planting, claiming the lister
leads to erosion and imperfect tillage.
but 1t offers wellnight insurmountable
temptations to a farmer as a solution
of the spring problem Of doing two
days work in one.

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT FIRST CIRCUS?

, impatiently for the horses to be har-

never get the younger children's faces
washed, too eager, too excited to eat
your breakfast, until, after an almost
interminable waiting, you were at last
started on the long, hot drive to
town. 1t may have been eight miles,
in a jolting lumber wagon over a
rough road, but what was that to a
baby man going to his first circus?
And when you had arrived at your
journeys end, and a camping spot
been selected on the outskirts of town,
and the horses unhitched and tied to
the wagon, you found that there were
still ages to wait and you buried your
self in the long grass and fell asleep
to dream Of a superhuman creature Of
serpentine elegance and grace, a tight
rope walker in glistening tights.
AS last you were awakened by moth
er telling you it was time to go, and
clinging tightly to fathers hand you
made your way, wide-eyed, to that
miniature city Of white tents and
strange foreign people and roaring
beasts. They were all there, all that
the billboards had promised and your
imagination had invented. The butter
fly lady turning somersaults through
hoops in the air, and occasionally
on the broad, flat back of
great white horse that obligingly ran
around beneath her on the ground;

Whitman College, Walla Walla,
Wash, May 14.-"The new Whitman"
movement. which has for its aim the
development of Whitman college into
the great representative college OF the
Pacific northwest, Is being pushed
with. vlgor by the administration OF
the college.
The undertaking Is an elaborate
one, requiring in financial way, the
raising of nearly $2,O00,0OO for en-
dowment, buildings and equipment,
and in broader way the centering of
the interest and support. .of the whole
northwest, for the cardinal feature OF
! the project is to make the college not
local. but the great educational fac
tor of the whole northwest territory.
The plans have been recently pre-
sented in definite form to the citizens
of Walla Walla county at series OF
mass meetings, and they have respond
ed with a pledge OF 100000. Prof
Hendrick, dean of the college, who Is
in charge of the New Whitman
movement, has carried the campaign
into the larger cities of the north
west. and the success of the plan Il
assured, especially since the offer OF
! half a million from the east as soon
as the west shows her loyalty in as
practical a way.
The striking need of a great !nstitu-
| ton of learning, privately endowed
in this section, and the logical posi-
ton OF Whitman in every way to be
such n school, are outlined by Mr.
Hendrick as follows:
First of all there Is the marvellous
growth of the college since 1894, whef
President Penrose became head of the
Institution. In 1896 the assets of th'
college were S5S,000. In 1907 they
were 100000 and the income hat
trebled. In 1896 there were four stu
dents Of the college proper; now there
are over l40. The college Is now
I liberal arts institution whose degrees
are recognized as equal to those o
Yale or Harvard. Just recently th'
college, while as strongly Christian
as ever, severed its denominations
connection and now stands broadl!
non-sectarlan.
This is in no way renunciation o
purpose, as in the original charter
there was no mention Of sectarian ol
even Christian affiliations, the con
nection with the Congregations
church being made in 1892, at tlm'
when the college was facing almos
hopeless poverty. What remains nov
is to develop it from local college
to the great representative privately
endowed Christian college of th'
northwest-to be to us what stanford
Is to California or Yale to the east.
