THREE THOUSAND ACRES
OF PASTURE BURNED OVER
Fire Does Heavy Damage to Farms
Southeast of Broken
Bow.

BROKEN BOW, Neb. April 26-CSpecial) }
A disastrous pasturage fire occurred at
the old Buckeye ranch and some adjoining
farms about twelve miles southeast of here
Monday afternoon. About 5000 acres of
fine pasture land and many fence posts
were destroyed. L. II. Jewett of this city
owns nearly 1000 acres of the old Buckeye,
while l. A. Reneau represents the Bradley.
Mathiesen & Walker Co., which own the
balance Of the property consisting of 1000
acres. Nearly 200 head of cattle, belonging
to Mr.. Jewett, were on the place at tn
time and escaped by very narrow mar
gin; eighty are reported to be badly
scorched and there is a probability Of some
of them dying. Pasturage belonging to
George Marsh, w. II. Van Nortwick, VIII
Hickman and others, aggregating over
1000 acres, was destroyed. Mr.. Reneau
roughly estimates the loss to be between
800 and 5000. The fire was started by
young man on a leased farm adjoining;
he had piled great heaps Of rubbish and
put torch to them without establishing
fire guards. AS the wind was blowing a
perfect gale from the northwest, the flames
were soon beyond control and jumped into
the big ranch. The farmers of that vicin-
ity were aroused and fought franticaIly
for their properties all the afternoon,
Messrs Reneau and Jewett. who had ar
rived on the scene by automobile taking
an active part BY nightfan sufficient
guards in the shape Of plowed land had
been swung about the flames, and they
soon died out

Salary Payment to
Ludden is Legal
Attorney General Thompson Rules
Allowance to Secretary Of Nor
NAL Board is Proper.
CFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN. April 26.-Cspecial. )-Another
prop was knocked from under the pol
itcians who have been trying to discredit
the state Normal board. which a demo-
cratic legislature failed TO abolish, when
Deputy Attorney General Grant Martin
ruled that the board acted legally when
it paid to Luther p. Ludden 500 year
salary for acting as secretary.
The democratic legislature first at
tempted to get rid Of the republican board
by legislating II out of existence and Civ
ing the governor the right to appoint a
democratic board. This attempt failed be-
cause the legislature was not competent
to enact a constitutional bill, so the su-
preme court declared the law invalid.
Failing in that. the press bureau OF the
administration attempted to discredit the
board and charged that It was paying to
Luther p. Ludden, a member, $500 a year
as salary for acting as secretary, which
the bureau held was contrary to law. This
had been the custom for years, and evsn
the secre etary Of the defunct board Mr..
Graham, drew his little expense account,
though one of the bitterest opponents Of
the legal board. So Auditor Barton, to
settle the matter, asked the attorney gem
eral to rule on the question.

Corn Club reports.

In the written reports Of their work the
Corn Club boys have given some interest
ing data. The reports are clear, concise,
suscinct statements Of their doings and
they make interesting reading.
The report of Maurice Machine especial
ly is interesting for the reason that he did
not select best land but took a N acre OF
Door hillside for his demonstration work.
He did not put more manure than the land
would warrant, but made his experiment
with the end in view of determining just
what could be done with this class of land
when planted to corn, what real practical
increase could be waenched from dead
poor land.
His acre made less than One-third of a
bale of cotton last year. This year off OF
the same acre he cleared S6.22 by working
it in corn and no doubt has almost doubled
the value of the land by putting back into
it the humus of which it has been robbed.
Messrs Jones and Leslie have interest
ing accounts and well worth reading. They
will be found elsewhere in this paper.

Don't Worry! Why Not?

When the disciple of case whispers into
your ear auy such heresy as, Don't Worry
turn your back on him and prepare to @
ry until the cause is removed.
The first step in accomplishment is wor-
ny and the man who doesn't worry doesn't
do things.
A doctor who doesn't worry over his
patients, would do his patients a good
turn to turn them over to nature and new
er go to see them again.
A Preacher who doesn't worry over the
condition Of his flock is a poor shepherd
indeed. His flock were better off without
such a shepherd.
A teacher who does not worry over his
work is not earning the money he receives
from the state. If the schools of the coun-
ty are not in as good shape as they ought
to be then it is be cause the teachcrs do
not worry.
And yet people tell us not to worry.
Had Watt not worried we would not have
had the advantages of steam; Had Edison
not worried many electrical appli ances
would never have been ours, and Ben
Franklin would never have sant up his
kite had he not worried over the problem;
had Eli Whitney never worried cotton
would not now be king, without worry
we would have no books, works of art, al
chitecture, factories, fortunes, anything
worth having comes OF worry.
John D. Rockefeller worried so when he
was lying the plans for his later success
that for three days he could eat nothing
In the Psychology of worry will be found
the philosophy of success, and to belong
to the Don't worry club" and to bc Il
true member is to become a nonentity.
When worry comes there is a cause. Re-
move the cause. 1t can be one in every
instance. Other worries will come, life is
just one thing after another, but meet them
squarelyi in the face and fight it out.
Worry, worry 10Y prepare to worry un-
til you are ready to pay the debt of life.
Otherwise you are not a desirable citizen.

Sweeping comes High.

The fact that broom corn is selling at
from $50 to 500 per ton while the broom
corn farmers are asking $50 per ton for
it may be instrumental in bringing back
into use the old sedge broom that used to
keep spic and span the homes Of our
grand fathers.
We can even yet see the old colored
broom vender going his rounds with the
neat bundles of broom straw woven with
white oak splits into trash movers Of no
mean variety.
But these old. fashioned broom straw
brooms are so cheap and they give the
back hall such an Anticipated appearance
as they lean up in the corner under a string
of red pepper or onions that the modern
housewife would not allow the things on
the premises.
Many a broad acre in South Carolina is
ripe just now for the old broom straw har-
vest, and should some vender come our
way with his handiwork Of brooms we
will buy one, if for no other reason for
that of "Auld lang syne."

would like to advise that as there is al
ready a line from Anderson to Bolton, and
in consideration Of the fact that Bolton will
be directly connected with Greenwood

King Korn.

Old Rex, cotton, will have to look to
his laurels. He has held the reins for many
years hut corn is q close second this year.
In Abbeville county the corn crop will
be larger than it has eve been in the his
tory Of the county. A safe estimate places
the 1910 crop at about three times the 1900
crop, thus making an enormous increase
during the ten years past.
It is a boon to the county. Those who
have corn enough to do them are to be
congratulated.
Before the war A asked B. what kind Of
q farmer y was; BIS reply was "Oh, he is
a pretty fair farmer, but he buys corn 4;
There are many Of The same kind to-day
they are pretty fair farmers but they buy
corn.
The increase in corn production in South
Carolina is due to a large extent to the
efforts Of Clemson College. II there has
been one thing more than another that
Clemson has worked for it is a larger pro-
duction of corn throughout the State.
Her lecturers have preached the doctrine
of more corn, her bulletin have worked on
the problem at length, many years has
this institution worked on this problem, so
let us give the credit to the Callege that is
due it.
Out OF it's efforts arose the Corn clubs
