Good morning. Johnson, said
the president when the general
manager stood before him. DO
Won know there seems to have been
a little falling off in the work of
The office for the last month: No
catastrophe or anything of that
sort. YOU know, bat the standard OF
cl.iciency seems 10 have lowered
just little. | merely wanted to
call your attention to it. Nothing
more. Nice day. isn't it,"
Say, Brunner, said the general
manager TO the office manager, do
YOU know your Office force is falling
down? Vel, it is. For the period
Just passed there has been drop in
your system that made considerable
trouble. I'd jerk somebody up if l
were YOU. a hint to the wise, you
know
"Wilson," said the Office manager
to the chief clerk, "come here. l
want to tell you one thing, and that
is that there's got to be change in
the way things are going around
this dump. Do you hear me?
What's the matter? What's the
matter. That's fine question from
you! What isn't the matter is the
proper thing to ask. Things have
been going to the dogs for month
past. Pm not laying the fault at
your door-all of it anyhow-but
you know what that means, falling
down. Get hustle on you, now,
and see that your clerks don't keep
falling down orr leave the rest to
your imagination"
"Say, you prize NUTS" said the
chief clerk to his underlings, edo
you know what's going to happen to
about half a dozen of you? You're
going to get decorated with a large,
shiny tin can if you don't smoke up
and do better work than you've been
guilty of for the last month. You've
been working like a lot of sewer
diggers. I never saw anything to
beat you-for the cellar champion
ship. Now, get busy and do things,
and do them right. I'd hate to have
to recommend a wholesale canning
stunt, but-you know what Pm
here for"
The clerks went humbly back to
their desks. Out to them came the
Office boy with grin on his face.
'Say," he began, but three voices
cut him short.
'cBlank, blank, blank you!" said
the voices. "You little runt! Why
don't you tend to your business, so
we can get things done right"
Then they all took kick at him
and went back to work satisfied.
"Gee," said the office boy, rub
bing his sore spots and eying the
presidents office, "gee, but that
call down certainly travelled some"

E ENTERTAINMENT At MOODY.
Large Crowd Gathered to Celebrate
Completion Ct New School Building.

was completed and turned over to
the trustees ready for occupancy.
On the same day the school was op-
ened with an enrolment Of 50 pu-
pills IL charge Of the teachers, Miss
Mary Gibson of Richburg and Miss
Glenaie Woodham of Hartsville.
The completion of this new school
building brings 20 fruirlon the long
cherished hope Of those Of our peo-
pie who are interested IN the mental
training and culture of the Younger
generation and have made sacrifices
to give larger opportunities for the
education of the children of this
community. Il was a proud day
for Moody when the new building
became an actuality and an impetus
has been given to local educational
conditions that must crystalline into
an influence of permanent value.
Teachers and pupils, as we'll as the
patrons, have caught the esprit du
corps and entered upon their work
with great zeal and enthusiasm.
Last Friday night in the school
building very enjoyable entertain
ment was given, which was partici-
pated in bya great many people,
both young and old, of our commun-
ity and all seemed to have a good
time. AT Z o'clock the crowd be.
gan to gather and supper was served
at 7:3O. The tables, and the i'm
promptu dining hall as we'll, were
decorated with evergreens, ferns,
wild smllax and Christmas berries,
all in s,their pristine beauty and
verdure, while the festive board
fairly groaued with all the dellcacies
of the season in bountiful profusion
and variety, prepared with that
culinary skill for which the good
housewives of this community are
justly famous.
For dessert there were served
many kinds of delicious fruits and
other toothsome and appetizing
comestibles.
Besides the supper quite lot of
fancy articles were sold, one of the
prettiest being a beautiful sofa
pillow, the haudiwork Of the fair
principal of the school. Miss Mary
Gibson. This beautiful and ar
tistc creation was sold to the
highest bidder and brought the
handsome sum of $3.50. Several
cakes were also raffied off, and ali of
them brought S" :lsfactory prices.
The grab bag furnished amusement
for the children who were present.
Sweet music was discoursed for
the occasion by Miss BERTHE
Flowers and Mr. W j Parker of
Andrews.
The proceeds Of the entertain
ment amounted to S102.50 which,
after deductlng the necessary ex-
pense will be applied to the
equipment of the new school
building.
The writer heard several old
gentlemen present remark that
this entertainment was quite the
pleasantest that they had ever At
tended. The crowd assembled
numbered about $50 people and
the silly misbebavior which so
often. mars the pleasure of similar
occasions was conspicuous by its
absence. There were people present
from every part of lower Williams
burg and without any unseemly
boastipg we may say that all went
away impressed with the hospi-
tality of our people and with a lively
appreciation of social event that
would have reflected credit on
any community in our grand old
Palmetto State.

Kansas and Missouri and other states are
far ahead Of Nebraska in the production
Of eggs and poultry, but this state is in
creasing annually. The farmers are learn
ing the poultry business, Just as they are
learning how to get more cream for the
same labor and investment. You must
remember that until recently Nebraska
was almost exclusively a cattle state and
sent its products to the stockyards instead
of the grocery stores, but as the territory
becomes more thickly settled and beef cat
tie are driven foTther west and the old
fashioned kind OF farming prevails. 1 am
told by the officials whose business is to
keep posted about such things, that three
years ago there was not a single man in the
state who gave his entire attention to rails
ing poultry and eggs, whereas now there
are several hundred and that feature of
farming is getting to be more and more a
business throughout the state.
The eggs and live chickens are brought
to town and sold to local merchants, who
act as middlemen and agents for the pack
ing companies, the cold storage companies
and commission houses which deal in such
things. The wholesale dealers send out
postal cards once a week offering prices
for the next week or ten days. The coun-
try merchant ships both eggs and poultry
In his own crates 10 central stations, where
the eggs are tested and graded and either
forwarded to city commission merchants or
cold storage warehouses to be kept for
winter. Some Of the wholesale dealers have
their own cold storage, but most OF them
patronize the general warehouses, the re-
ceipts covering insurance, but unlike grain,
the identity OF each package is preserved,
that is, the depositor gets his own eggs
and chickens when he calls for them.
We used to think that 70 cents a dozen
was a high price for eggs at a city
grocery, but they are now bringing from
&c to 20 cents a dozen at the country stores
throughout Nebraska in exchange for
trade, and ave not been lower than IG
cents a dozen at Wholesale in the Omaha
market for five years. At this rate one
would think hat the farmers would go
into the business even more largely than
at present, because the demand is yum
limited.
A peculiar product OF Nebraska is seed
corn, and the bulletin Of the state board
Of agriculture asserts that 40 per cent OF
, all the seed corn planted in this country
comes from this state, where II Is raised

with the greatest care on scientific pr1n-
ciples, just as It Is upon some of the great
farms in Illinois. Large quantities or
alfalfa seed are raised in this state also
for sale through the regular dealers
throughout the prairie and mountain states
and the Pacific slope. A great deal is
shipped to Mexico, and thereby the farm
ers Of Nebraska can properly boast OF the
influence they exercise indirectly upon the
prosperity OF the rest of the continent.
In central and western Nebraska, be-
yond the Elkhorn valley, are large tracts
of unoccupied land among the sand hills
which is sold at much lower prices than
that in other parts of the state because
its value is not appreciated. In this Sec
ton farming is combined with ranching
The valleys contain rich soil which will
produce good crops of all the staples, and
particularly alfalfa, while the sand hills
produce nutritious grasses that are suit
able for horses, cattle and other stock.
Some Of the most successful illustrations
Of dry farming can be found in that belt.

who says:
Nebraska Is gradually becoming a great

pounds each, 10 the market. New York,
which was formerly the banner butter
state. has dropped down several files. and
because It's dairymen are less than form

states make 80 much more. There are fif-
teen great creameries in Nebraska, owned
by ten Independent companies ON Of them

held by the farmers. who furnish the cream

in Omaha. two at Lincoln, one at Beatrice,
one at Crete, and the largest plant in the
state capable OF producing $1,000 pounds
OF butter a day, was opened at Grand
Island, June l.
The Omaha creameries produce from
5000 to 60.0o pounds OF butter a day the
year around and are increasing their prod
uct as fast as they can get additional
