City Life Dependent on Farms.
Il warn my countrymen that the great re-
cent progress made in city life Is not a
full measure OF our civilization; for our
civilization rests at bottom on the whole
someness, the attractiveness, and the COM
pleteness, as well as the prosperity. Of life
in the country. The men and women on
the farms stand for what is fundamentals
best and most needed in our American life.
Upon the development of country life rest:
ultimately our ability, by methods OF farm
ing requiring the highest intelligence, to
continue to feed and clothe the hungry ma
lions; to supply the city with fresh blood
clean bodies and clear brains that can en-
dure the terrific strain of modern life; we
need the development of men in the open
country, who will be in the future. as in
the past, the stay and strength Of the ma
ton in time of war, and its guiding and
controlling spirit in time Of peace.

Court Busy at Alliance.

ALLIANCE, Neb., Feb. Especial. y
District court closed here yesterday after
a two weeks session, together with a spe-
cial sitting of the grand jury. Judge Har-
rington presided and among the more i'm
portant cases that came up for issue was
the case OF the state against Volley Will
son. At the elimination of a 3O-hour ses-
sion Wilson was convicted and sentenced
to three years in the penitentiary for at
tempted criminal assault. Frank Angus
tine received a 5-year sentence on charges
made by Miss Bowers. This sentence was
afterward rescinded by the judge upon the
marriage of the pair before the judge in
open court. This case caused intense ex-
element several months ago, when Miss
Bowers brother mistook his sister, who
was wearing Augustine's coat, for Angus
tine, and shot her. with the result that she
just barely escaped death. She afterwards
made an unsuccessful attempt to commit
suicide because Of the notoriety that came
to her through this shooting.
The sevarla indictments brought against
some of the soft drink parlors for the H.
legal disposal of intoxicating liquors were
terminated with a partial acknowledge
ment OF guilt and a compromise. The grand
jury investigation also resulted in a hasty
order from the mayor that the severa.
houses of i'll rtpute he closed until May 81
or until his term expired.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, Feb. e-(Special)
The supreme court of tho state today dis
posed of a little 7-year-old girl, its disposi-
ton being another step in the bitter legal
fight for the possession of Fay Colebourne
of Gilman, which has been waged for
months in the district court by the mother.
Mrs, Maude Colebourne Kreise. Now the
case has been carried to the supreme court,
the temporary turning over OF the child
to the mother by that tribunal being the
first action 1t has taken in the case.
The mother today came into possession OF
the child for the first time in years, when
the supreme court issued q restraining
order that the child's uncle and aunt,
Mayor and Mrs. #. r. Ensminger of Gill
man, do not interfere with the child. When
this order was served the child went into
possession of the mother. Months ago the
mother secured a writ of habeas. corpus,
by which the child was brought into court,
that the possession of 1t might be deter
mined. Judge Parker dissolved the writ.
and ordered the sheriff, who has custody
of the child, to turn it over to its uncle,
who is its guardian. The case was then
appealed and the restraining order was is
sued,

REPORT ON COUNTRY LIFE

problem Of the farmers alene that l am
discussing with them, but a problem which
affects every city as we'll as every farm
In the country. 1t is a problem which the
working farmers will have 10 solve for
themselves; but It is a problem which also
affects in only less degree all the rest Of
us, and therefore II we can render any help
toward it's solution, it is not only our duty.
but our interest to do so.
Farmers Welfare vital.
The foregoing will, l hope, make it
clear why l appointed a commission to
consider problems of farm life which have
hitherto had far too little attention. and
the neglect of which has not only held back
life in the country, but also lowered the
efficiency Of the whole nation. The welfare
Of the farmer is Of vital consequence TO the
welfare Of the whole commuality. The
Strengthening or country life, therefore,
is the strengthening of the whole nation.
'"rhe commission has tried to help the
farmers to see clearly their own problem
and to see 1t as a whole; to distinguish
clearly between what the government can
do and what the farmers must do for them
selves; and it. wishes to bring not only the
farmers, but the nation as a whole to
realize that the growing of crops, though an
essential part, is only a part Of country
life. Crop growing is the essential founda-
ton; but it is no less essential that the
farmer shall get an adequate return for
what he grows; and II is no less essential
indeed it is literally ~vital-that he and
his wife and his children shall lead the
right kind of life.
For this reason, 1t is OF the first inn
p~ortance that the United States Department
OF Agriculture. through which as prime
agent the ideas the commission stands for
must reach the people, should become with.
out delay in fact a Department of Country
Life, fitted to deal not only with crops,
but also with all the larger aspects OF
life in the open country.
Three Needs of Country Life.
From all that has been done and
learned. three great general and immediate
needs of country life stand out.
First, effective cooperation amons
farmers, to put them on the level with the
organized interests with which they dc
business.
Second, a new kind of schools In Tho
country, which shall teach the children a.
much outdoors as indoors and perhap,
more. so that they will prepare for countr,
life, and not as at present, mainly for lf,
in town.
Third. better means Of communication
Including good roads and parcels post, whlc,
the country people are everywhere ant
rightly, unanimous in demanding.
ITO these may well be added better
sanitation; for easily preventable disease:
hold several million country people in the
slavery of continuous III health.
The commission points out, and l concur
in the conclusion, that the most important

UNCLE SAN SHOWS ADAMS
Government Teaches Express Com.

CORPORATION NOW MEEK AS LAMB
Refuses &C First 90 Allow Revenue
Omcisls Access to Its Records,
but Comes Across on
Both Feet.

The Adams Express company has reached
TIC conclusion that there are departments
dnder the government that even an express
ompan Is bound to respect. II has also
been taught that when the internal revenue
department asks for Information and the
production OF its books 10 ascertain whether
the revenue laws are being violated in the
shipment OF beer and other liquors the gov
eminent means they shall be produced.
It happened this way: The revenue de-
psrtment had reason TO believe that some
shipments Of beer were being made from
Sherburne, MINI, to Storm Lake, Ia, and
that It was within the province OF the in
ternal revenue department to know TO whom
these shipments were being made for the
purpose of ascertsinlng whether the con-
sisnee was complying with the revenue
laws. A special agent Of the revenue de-
partment from Omaha was sent to make
the inquiry and the agent of the Adams
Express company refused 10 give the de-
sired Information and further declined to
permit the revenue agent to see his books.
The revenue agent asked for further in
structlons from the Omaha office. The
matter was again taken up through the
government authorities at Dubuque and an
orCer was issued by the government COM
manding the agent, superintendent and the
books OF the sherburne agency to appear
~ Dubuque forthwith.
The representatives of the company then
agreed to let the revenue agent look at the
books at Sherburne, but the government
wanted to sec the whole combination at
Dubuque and that in a hurry. The express
officials came on time with the books and
tried to explain things, but the government
officers we're not exactly in a receptive
mood. The Information sought was readily
obtained and the express people promised

TACKY PARTY FOR MISS MccOL
LEY OF ATLANTA

On Saturday evening at their home
on Oklawaha avenue DR.. and Mrs. l..
F. Blalock entertained in honor of
their visitor, Miss Kate McColley, Of
Atlanta, the nature of the entertain
ment being a tacky party.
AS the guests arrived they were
met at the door by DR.. and Mrs. Bla-
lock, Mr. and Mrs. ]. A. Henry and
Miss Kate McColley, all of whom
were dressed in intensely tacky cos
tunes.
The guests were invited into the IL
brary, where Mrs. B. w. Mimms, who
was dressed in a Gypsy costume, told
everyOne's fortune. In the dining
room very delicious red lemonade and
ginger snaps were served.
The first game played during the
evening proved very interesting. Irish
potatoes were placed on the floor, and
the boys and girls had to pick them
up with a teaspoon. Miss Jessilu
Martin picked them up the quickest
and was given a box of animal crack
ers.
Several other different games we're
played and many very pretty instru-
mental and vocal solos were rendered
by Miss Jessilu Martin and Miss Sara
Davis and DR.. and Mrs. Blalock.
Soda crackers, ham and dill pickles
were served.
| Miss Jessilu Martin and Mr.. Kreg-
or were awarded the prizes for the
tackiest and most fantastic makeup
and they we'll deserved them, as they
looked exceedingly ridiculous.
Altogether this "tacky" compliment
to most charming young lady was
hugely enjoyed.

A BIG FIRE AT sEABREEZE

The many Ocala people who have

ana the Breakers hotels at that pop
ular resort early Sunday morning.
There were over two hundred guests
at the Clarendon. No one was injur-
cd during the fire, and the guests
succeeded in saving most of their eff
fects. The Clarendon was valued at
100000. with about forty per cent.
insurance.
The cottages adjoining the hotel
were saved by the heroic efforts OF
the citizens of Daytona Beach, Sea-
breeze and Daytona, although several
of them caught fire from the flying
sparks. shingles. etc. The home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kochersperger was on
fire several times, but owing to the
fact that there was no breeze stirring
the cottages were all saved.
