BUY, Don't Rent
Editor Noythwestern Agriculturist:

Editor northwestern AgrlCuiturlSt:
have been much interested in the articles published in
the Northwestern Agriculturist giving advice to the Nebras-
ka farmer who has $500 in the bank, drawing four per cent
interest and himself renting land.
Why is it that so many follow the same old plan? If
one looks back fifteen or twenty years lie will see how the
country has developed, both in the value of the land and the
condition of the country.
What was Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, the Dakotas, in
fact, our entire north and the west twenty years ago? Com
pare it with the present time and see the advancement that
has been made. Those old opportunities have passed away,
yet there are new opportunities coming forward all the time.
Why should the man rent when he has money in the
bank? Why should he not be a borrower instead of a lender
and own his own land? The Improvements on the farm
would then be his own. The rise in the value of the land
would be his, too. He could farm for the future benefit of
his farm; always making his land more productive.

OPERATE ON LUNGS.
Rockefeller Institute Surgeons Try
New Device on Dog.

NEW YORK. June 22.-The Rookie eller
Institute will install next year a vacuum
operating room. such as was exhibited
there last Monday by Prof. G.. Sauerbruck
of Marburg. Germany. This new operat-
ing room. or cabinet, provides for opera
tons in an atmosphere free from microbes
and enables the operating surgeons to
have the pressure of the air upon the ex-
posed parts of the subject much less than
in an ordinary room.

day to illustrate the usefulness of the

Bronx. n. Y. to meet a customer from
St. Louis. He said he was going to sell
5000 worth of jewelry. This was on Tues
day. Since then nothing has been heard
of him or his diamonds.
Newman was salesman for his brother
in-law, Louis Kappa Imam. a jewelry deal
er. Both he and his wife. who was a
Miss Freiburg. are also natives of Balti-
more, though they have spent nearly all
their married life in New York, which is
Newmans selling territory.
Newman's work lay almost entirely
among the seafaring folk.
Wednesday there was a further kink
in the mystery. The firm of Stern Broth
ers & Co., of 6S Nassau street, 81 Gold
street and 1873 West 14th street, from
whom Newman bought some of his dia-
monds, received in their early morning
mail letter which read omewhat as
follows:
This is to notify you that Meyer New
man is being held captive for ransom
of $4,000. Notify Mr.. kappalman and
friends. You are to place the money in
a tin can at the Bronx Park entrance be-
fore the Both of June.
(SgnedD BLACK HAND.
Then Saturday there came another let
ter, containing more explicit details as to
the passing of the money. This time it
was to be left in a tin can at the en-
trance to the Zoo. The latter commune
cation contained a threat of death for
Newman If the money wasn't forthcom-
ing. Stern Brothers & Co. told Mrs New
man of the letters sent them, and then
turned them over to the police.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS.
Will Meet to Ratify Primary Nom.
nations Tomorrow.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 22.-To ratify the
choice of the recent democratic state pri-
mary for officers on the state ticket and
to select delegates to the national demo-
cratic convention. delegates from all
paris of Georgia will assemble in this city
at noon tomorrow.
There will be few or no contests ac-
cording to present indications. for under
the usage the leaders in the various coun-
ties favorable to the successful candi-
date for governor are permitted to choose
delegates to the state convention.
No other party in the state dominates
a ticket. so that after adjournment Tues
day it Is simply for Gov. Smith to finish
his two years term, expiring in June, 1909.
and step down with the other defeated
primary candidates to allow the followers
of Joseph NJ. Brown. who won the gov
ernorship in the primaries. to take up the
reins of government in the state for two
years at least.
BY caucus delegates from the various
congressional districts will meet Tuesday
at various places, choose delegates to the
national convention in some cases in
struct. in many cases not, and adjourn
before Tuesday noon to go before the
full convention body with their choices.
The delegates at large doubtless will be
Albert H. Cox of Fulton, Peter w. Mel
drim of Chatham. Thomas w. Loyless of
Richmond and w. S. West of Lowndes.
Thus far sentiment as to a democratic
nominee for President does not seem to
have crystallized. with Bryan and John
son both talked. Twentyfour hours may
change this, but at present it looks like
an uninstruckd delegation to Denver.
So far as the members of Congress are
the contests have been settled
in every district and all of the congress
men in the last session will be entitled to
heir seats when the national house meets
again. except Representative Lewis, who
was defeated in the third district by
Dudley NJ. Hughes. United States Senator
Clay was also renamed by the primary.
The regular election of the officers NOM
mated by the recent primary will be held
next fall and as there is no other ticket
in the field their election is assured.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., June 21.-The
democratic state convention which meets
here next Wednesday at noon is expected
to develop one Of the warmest contests
In the history of the party in this state.
The convention will nominate a governor,
! lieutenant governor. other state officers
and four delegates at large to the national
convention
| There are three candidates for governor
Locke Craig of Asheville, Representative
| William w. kitchin of Person county.
who represents the fifth district in Con-
gress, and Col Ashley Horne of Johnston
county. ..
In the separate primaries held by ninety
eight counties of the state Craig and
kitchin have split nearly even on the
instructed vote, Kitchin coming to the
convention with a fraction over thirty
three votes in the lead Of Craig, but
lacking over seventy-five votes of having
enough to assure his nomination Horne
with his instructed vote. holds the bal
ance of power and the detection of his
support means the election of the candi-
date that secures 1t. There are S57 votes
| in the convention, 423 being necessary to
nomination. which is equivalent to cleo
ton. Only fortysix will come to the
convention uninstructed. SO that neither
of the leading candidates can rely upon
nomination from this source
A long and stubborn contest is predicted
as the campaign between the two leading
candidates on the stump has been heated
and the feeling bitter. and Col. Horne's
supporters announce that they will hold
out to the last ditch, believing that the
friends of one or the other of the leading
candidates will flock to the Horne stand
ard when the deadlock comes If the con-
test becomes long drawn out a dark horse
is fl ely predicted. and former Lieut.. Gov.
r. A. Doughton of Allegheny county is
prominently mentioned in this connection.
Another heated contest will develop over
the question of instructions for William
j. Bryan. Many of the counties have in
structed their delegates for the Nebras-
kan. while many others have instructed
the delegates to fight instructions at the
state convention.

advisable to have a jury determine the
question. Six minutes after Ouden fell

water and eight minutes later the ambu-
lance from the Emergency Hospital was
upon the scene, but life was extinct ana
