tanned a large audience in Mt.
Pleasant Methodist church on
Thurday evening with Swiss bells,
somerphone, aluminium chimes,
musical glasses, reeds, rattles, from
bone, cornet, bass horn, violin and
in character representations.
The entertainment was splendid
and each performer proved an artist
of the first rank. The bells were
sweet and soft toned and the Eek
hardts held their audience enrap-
tured with their playing. G. c.
Eckhardt performed upon $50 bells,
and there certainly was some speed
with his hands.
The program was made up of
classical and religious music, and the
Evolutionary work was fine and con-
sisted of humorous and pathetic
readings.

A very appreciatl.e audience
greeted the speaker last night at
the Baptist church.
Mr.. Hulett preached a powerful
sermon on the subject To Whom
Shall We Co." contrasting the diff
ferent religions. He showed very
plainly that none of them were to
be compared with the religion of
Jesus Christ; how that The Christ"
had changed and revolutionized so
many lives through the ages, and
that He is the same yesterday,
today and forever.
Mrs. Smyth, sang very touchingly,

The chorus is taking good hold of
the singing, and everyone is working
hard to have the services successful.
We are looking forward to a splen-
did service this evening. Mrs. C. E.
White will sing a solo, and Mr..
Hulett will have something good for
us. Come with us and we will do
thee good"

LATTA AND THE PEOPLE.

AS congressman, Mr.. Latta voted
against the postal savings bank bill
because he thought it would injure his
own banking business and despite the
fact that the people, through both the
democratic and republican platforms
had demanded such bill. 1t was the
special interest-his own selfish spe.
cial interest-that got Latta's vote, in
stead of his constituents.
A man who will vote for his own
selfish special interest in one matter
would vote for selfish, personal inter.
ests against the interests of the peo.
pie, in other matters.
What's the use of the Third district
of Nebraska keeping a man at Wash.
ington on liberal salary, who ignores
the rights of the people and merely
uses his Office in trying to slip over
laws that will benefit him, personally
as banker?
Why not send man to congress
from this district who has no special
interest ties, and whose energies will
be devoted toward serving the people
who send him?
Judge j. F. Boyd can be depended
upon to look after the peoples inter,
ests. He won't vote at the dictation OF
any special or personal interest, be-
cause he has no such ties.

NORFOLK. SEEN BY VISITORS.

NORFOLk, SEEN BY NlSlIOKS.
That northern Nebraska made a
sood impression upon the Lincoln
lrade eXcursionists last week and that
Norfolk, in paving its streets, gives n
much better idea to visitors of the
city's rank and progressiveness, is
evidenced by the article published In
the Lincoln Trade Review following
the trip. II. NJ. Bushnell, editor of
the Trade Review, sees in Norfolk a
,ure future Wholesale center for
northern Nebraska and southern
South Dakota. In his magazine he
writes:
If Nebraska cities and towns have
a measure of disappointment I'm

aus returns, there Is nothing disap-
pointing in the way every place in
the state is building and improving.
Seven years ago the Lincoln whole
salers made a trade tour over the
lines of the Northwestern and this
week they are completing another eX-
Cursion over the same line. The
changes, growth and improvements,
in all places visited, needs to be seen
to be appreciated New buildings are
everywhere: big substantial brick
business houses have taken the place
of frame buildings; fine modern
homes are in evidence on every hand
and public improvements in the way
of good roads, permanent stone walks
and many city buildings are seen in
different places. There is permanenCy
and a more finished appearance on
every hand. In the larger places
through northern Nebraska real city
improvements are much in evidence.
The city of Norfolk is adding to its
new public buildings over a mile of
pavement the present year. 1t is step
ping over the line to metropolitan
improvements and from this on the
city will have a new value in both
the eyes of it's own people and those
who are temporary visitors. One of
these days Norfolk will take its place
among the cities of the state listed
as a jobbing town, for around it and
beyond it is one of the richest of ter
ritories which is rapidly developing.

Carpets and Rugs.
Old floors can be painted and then
oiled, or they may be treated with any
desired floor preparations that are on
the market. The hardwood or painted
floor is much preferable to any carpet,
though to make the furnishing OF q

sary. This would better be one good
sized rug or several smaller ones, de-
pending on the size and character Of
the room. The color of the rugs should
harmonize with the color used on the
wall or in draperies, but it should be
considerably stronger in tone than Ell
ther or both the others.
One large rug is more satisfactory
for dining room than several small
ones, and the room which has walls
decorated with horizontal lines, as It
may be to give the effect of lowering
the ceiling, should have a single rug
on the floor; otherwise such room
will have a patchy appearance Most
people have learned that for sanitary
reasons the floor covering, whatever 1t
may be, should not extend from wall

NEED OF BETTER FARMING

In his letter to The News from
Paris, G. l.. Carlson of Norfolk struck
the livest issue before this country
today when he pointed out the sys-
TEN of intensive farming being done
in France as compared with that in
America. Land selling from $3.50 to
81 200 per acre in France must yield
5000 to $3.50 per acre per year in
crops, he says, and the general yield
of oats is from 80 to 1876 bushels per
acre.
There is no question but that the
paramount problem to De solved in
this country is the method of making
two blades of corn grow where one
grew before. Care of the soil must
be given attention. And the farmer
who doesn't keep up with the process,
sion and study scientific, modern
methods, will find that he is not max
ing a living interest off the value
represented by his land.
