He WILL NOT RESIGN
HEAD OF PERU NORMAL IN MOOD
TO FIGHT BACK.
HAPPENINGS OVER THE STATE
What 10 Going on Here and There
That Is Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout Nebraska
and Vicinity.

Teru. Neb.-News Of the action Of
the state board Of education In Its
meeting at Nebraska City Tuesday
night, when 1t adopted a resolution
requesting the resignation of Presi
dent Crabtree. Of the Peru normal
school, caused no great surprise here
as the action was In a measure antici
pated For a community that is ad
mittedly on the side of Mr.. Crabtree.
there was little outward showing OF
resentment. and practically no com
ment outside the student body. The
students. in order to show their 10y
atty to the president, adopted some
thing of an innovation. which might
be termed a two days strike. Wednes-
day all remained from their classes.
and Thursday morning the same course
was followed. but to resume work as
usual Friday. A flag on the chief nor
NAL building waved half mast
throughout the day. The demonstra.
ton was limited to the students. and
while the faculty took no part In
furthering the two days strike" there
was no evidence OF an intention on the
part of the teachers to disc pline the
students for remaining away.
That President Crabtree will not
Voluntarily resign at the close of the
term. as requested by the board. Is
nearly a foregone conclusion. The
fight is only begun" President Crab,
tree is quoted as saying "Wednesday.
which IS taken to mean that there will
be another round up before a new
head is installed for the school. Mr..
Crabtree takes the position that moth
ing done by him warrants his volun
tary withdrawal from the school. and
the conclusion reached is that 1t will
take something mere drastic than
request for his resignation to displace
him.
Who the members OF the board have
in mind as a successor is not known

But a short time ago Charles H..

press his intention of selling this prop

announcements was so great that it
surpassed the ideas of MIR. Sieg. To-
day the evidence which this man has
at his finger ends of the enormous
demand for Florida soil. is more aston
ishing than the reading OF a work OF

Surely this is the day of back to

AS one approaches Florida upon
any of the great railroads reaching
this state. one Is at once struck with
the conversation one hears in the
smoking, dining or sleeping car. This
conversation is almost wholly con-
fined to the topic of Florida, and gives
an insight into the real condition OF
the fame of this great state, for these
people come from almost every sec

In an interview with Mr.. Sieg re-
Gently. he made the prediction that
every acre Of Burbank Ocala Colony
would be sold before farmers in the
north were enabled to start blowing.
This means that many thousands Of
acres must be sold each and every
week. and that hundreds of settlers
are buying this land every day.
The Office of the Burbank Ocala Col
ony is located at the city of Ocala. in
Marion County. is filled with settlers
and prospective settlers to this col
ony. ard the best part of It all is that
these settlers are satisfied. Many Of
them are sent to Burbank-Ocala for
the purpose of investigating and max
ing sure. not only for themselves. but
for their friends. relatives and neigh
bors. and most of these men buy i'm
mediately after seeing this land for
many people.

Directors of the New South Farm &

the strict guarantee that If il is not
satisfactory to he purchaser. he may
ask for and receive back every cent
he has paid. together with G%S inter
est. any time before the actual deliv-
cry of the deed.
This land is selling at the price of
$500 per acre. upon the terms OF
30 cents per acre down. and 80 cents
per acre per month until the land is
paid for. thus giving every purchaser
10 months after his application has
been received to complete his pay

possession of his farm after single
payment o. only SO cents per acre.
