M'C00K IS RECOVERING
FROM ITS SCARLET FEVER
Home Town of COngressmam Nor
ris Has Been Having a
Siewe.

McCook, Neb., is just beginning to emerge
from a gloomy state OF affairs, according
to Omaha visitors from that section.
McCook Is the county seat of Red Willow
county. and is the junction point OF sew
eral railroad lines Sometime since scarlet
fever broke out in the town. The disease
was in mild form, SO mild at first that
proper precautions to prevent its spread
seem to have been neglected.
AS the days went on. more and more
cases developed and were guaranteed, until
finally the police force OF the town was
kept busy enforcing the quarantine. Groups
wero not permitted to gather on the
streets. and the physicians had 80 much
TO attend to they got but little chance to
sleep. At the present time the epidemic
is said to be under control. No deaths are
reported, but several cases OF distressing
after effects are said to exist.
Congressman George w. Norris was
amsnG those quarantined. and he was only
released TO attend the republican state
convention after climbing out a window
and being thoroughly examined and fumi-
gated. He arrived home at the close OF the
congressional session to find his home un-
der quarantine. one OF his children being
taken down with the disease. The other
children OF the Norris family had been sent
to frienda in good time to avoid contaEion
and were not kept in quarantine.

Success.

The Aero Club of Nebraska is about to
affiliate with the Aero Club of America, an
intention of some standing In time but
which has not been hitherto carried out
owing to the rush OF getting the aviation
meet under way.
A blank form of application at hand
states that we hereby agree II our applica-
ton is accepted to abide by the articles OF
utilization as shown in the year book OF
the Aero Club of America, and we agree
to uphold the rules and regulations OF the
Federation AerOnautique International and
The Aero Club of America"
All members Of the Nebraska club are not
just sure what is the Federation Aero
nautique," but all think 1t sounds well.
Omaha's aviation meet has really put II
on the aeronautieal map and the flights Of
Curtiss here have been reported all over
the country. The meet has resulted among
other things in a pronounced desire upon
the part Of some venturesome men to buy
aeroplanes and they win be In the market
for them next year.
Cynics declare that aeroplanes will never
become quite So popular as motor cars
because people will be compelled as rule
to fly so high that other people Will not
be able to observe the proud and naughty
occupants. This being observed, according
to the cynics, is one of the chief joys of
riding about in an automobile, the vulgar
mob of pedestrians being supposed to look
with admiration or envy upon the motor
lists.
The cynics further assert that the bearing
and attitude of many people sitting In cars
confirms their belief. But, Of course, all this
is Only the view OF cynics

JUST HOW HOT IT WAS TWO
/ CATERPILLARS LEARNED
Youngsters Tried 90 Crawl Three Feet
ON Cement Sidewalk and
Died ina Attempt.


Two little caterpillars tell simultaneously
from the same restless bough The way
ward youngsters landed in the parched
grass a few inches from the sidewalk, and
six feet OF burning Sahara stretched be-
tween them and the foot of the roof tree.
But both started to make the journey One
ventured out a few inches and hesitated.
The other plunged boldly onward. Two
colored men eating their luncheon on the
parking. watched the struggle.
That's nah caterpillar that's goin
ahead. Bet you fouah dollahs mine makes
1t an you'ahn doan't," said the negro.
Use done take de bet," responded the
other, and both watched the struggle The
bfstering heat OF the cement made the
hairy coats of the insects smoke. They
writhed and struggled onward. F1ve-ten-
fifteen inches OF the journey was accom-
plished. One OF the men tossed a bit OF
cool watermelon rind ahead of them, and
both eagerly sought its shade. Again
they struggled on. To lend new encour-
agement, pieces OF juicy melon rind were
stretched in line clear across the cement.
The heroic travellers bravely struggled from
one piece 10 another, but the tragedy ended
when they found a space where seven
inches interviewed. They lifted their eyes
and Eaxed full into the face Of the pftfleSs

Burns Tells of
Nebraska Crops
Says that Poor Crops Are Due to Bad
Methods Rather Than to
Poor Soil.

John T. Burns, secretary treasurer OF the
Dry Farming Congress of the world, was
In Omaha for short time Thursday and
conferred with several of the prominent
grain and railroad msn on the crop question
and on the coming session of the con-
gress, the fifth IN humber to be held this
year in Spokane, Wash, on October 3, 4,
and 6.
Mr.. Burns states that in his opinion the
association Of dry farmers is doing the
most practical work of an agriculture ma
ture of any organization in the world. The
entire energy of the members is devoted to
exclusive dry farming, that is the encour-
agement of the development of the lands
that have been arid
There are in the world today 5000 900, 900
acres of land possible Of cultivation which
are going to waste, and 200 900 acres of
this amount is in the territory west of the
Missouri river in the United States said
Mr.. Burns. "Our object is to open to set
Element this land and to teach the farmers
before they start on 1t the proper method
to raise successful crops.
Amy territory which has from eight to
twenty-five inches of yearly rain is sus-
ceptible of cultivation, although, of course
atmospheric conditions are different. For
instance in Montana sixteen inches of rain
fall will do just as much good to the crops
as twenty-five inches will do in Oklahoma"
In my trip through Nebraska, l noticed
that in many places splendid crop of
corn and other grain would be growing on
one farm and then going on few miles
where different methods of farming had
been used the crop would be q failure.
The state is spotted in this manner. show
ing poor farming more than poor land.
The average yield of wheat in this state
could in two years be increased to twenty
four bushels with little care, and the
corn yield could be raised ten bushels to
the acre"

Odd Mistakes Are
Made by Painters
Signs on the Windows Are often
Quite Ludicrous from
Errors.

Sign painters are at work on various win
dows OF the City National bank building
putting on gilt lettering to advertise the
tenants about to move In. None OF these
sign painters has so far slipped up In spell
ing. which is a higher record than that
recently achieved by other local artists"
Most conspicuous OF these errors has been
the bad speller who first painted picture
Of the browning glory Of Athens acropolis
and called it--in large letters-the Par
theniof." The same man is responsible
Tor a sign on the way 10 Council Bluffs,
the picture deneting 3 work done in Egypt
By the late Mr.. Cheops, and the caption
reading, '-rhe Pyrmides." But neither of
these is quite as bad as that Krug park
sign which once advertised the most
fragrant smoke IN Omaha"

OMAHA, July 2I-To the Editor of The
Bee: Sometimes a proposition carries most
of the meaning Of sentence and makes
the connection between the verbal struc-
ture and the dynamo Of thought.
Running for office is nothing remarkable
in this country. but when person has
to run from office as Mr. Roosevelt has
to do, there is an uncommon and interest
ing spectacle. And the honor of his situa-
ton is much greater than that of running
for office. Many people seem not TO recog-
nize this fact. How many ever have an
opportunity to do any running of this
kind? 1t is a rare chance. Happy is he
who is wise enough to be content with
such high honor and leave the other propo-
sltlons to his less fortunate countrymen.
Now, there is another and very different
spectacle presented by simply changing the
proposition. Under our present election
laws there is something interesting to stu
dents of zoology in the herds of two-legged
animals running after office. The glory of
having ones picture on telephone poles and
barn doors and saloon windows and hav-
ing ones name in all kinds OF mouths and
mixed with all kinds of chewing tobacco
is very alluring to many citizens who, in
the course of evolution, have become able
to assume the upright position and walk
part of the time on two feet and serve as
jurymen.
Well" says the defeated candidate, IF
a fellah don't git into the shuttle he shure
won't git no office. And in this country
you never can tell who'll turn up on top.
Muffin like tryin', anyhow. Maybe the ad-
vertisin' IL pay me. Don't you know, rum
ming for (after) office is mostly an adver-
tisin' sckeem, anyhow"

.CARRICk PLACE
OF CONVENTION
REPUBLICANS or WAPELLo
COUNTY 70 ASSEMBLE SAT-
uRDAY AT II O'CLOCK.

In pursuance to the requirements OF
the primary law which states that the
county convention will pe held on the
fourth Saturday following the holding
OF the primary election, the Republi-
cans Of Wapello county are hereby
notified that the Republican conven-
ton will be held in the Garrick theater
Saturday morning at II o'clock. Dele
gates will note the place as we'll as the
time and be governed accordingly.
The prevailing idea that, the conven-
ton would be held in the court house
is incorrect as the Garick theater on
Green street has been secured for the
purpose and the time Of converting
set at II o'clock.
The above was ordered by County
Chairman F. A. Nimocks Of the Re-
publican central committee, who
when sen today stated that the
Garrick will afford more room to the
delegates and better facilities for the
handling of the convention than could
be had at the county court house The
Democratic county convention is to be
held at the court house in the large
court room and thus the two conven-
tions being held in separate buildings
will prevent the confusion that might
otherwise be encountered by both
parties.
