tied. This was a matter that had not
previously disturbed them Still, if
the professor was in doubt there must
be something in it, He began to argue
1t out. and an uncomfortable silence
held the room in awe If he did not
exist the chances We're that they did
not exist either. 1t was thus a per-
sonal question. 1t was no wonder
that the students who do not 90 to

Wonders of a Book.

There is perhaps no greater wonder
than a book. BY the help Of little
figures upon spins or paper men have
been able to transmit their thoughts
through thousands of years. The
names and shapes of things, the deeds
and sorrows that have occurred as far
back as Adam, have been made known
to us. Even those invisible and alb
stract thoughts which have no shape
or substance, but which inspired the
writer and have since inspired others,
are all put down in the little letters
and made eternal. The songs of David.
the speculations Of Plato, the visions
of Homer, have by these means been
handed down faithfully for many cen
turtles and distributed among man
kind. If there We're no books our
knowledge would almost be confined
to the limit of sight and hearing. All
that we could not see or hear would
be to us like the inhabitants Of the
planet Saturn-a mere matter of idle
conjecture.-Barry Cornwall.

STATISTICS ON THE CORN CROP
United States National Bank Gathers
It's Own Figures.
HEARS FROM MANY SOURCES
Corn Crop Of Nebraska ~ Estimated
at 1S1.5I2,GoO Bushels, while
wheat In % Per Cent
OF Normal.

After an exhaustive inquiry into crop
conditions in every Nebraska county asst OF
the 10th meridian near Gothenburg, the
United States National bank estimates that
the states crop Of corn this year viii be
ia $1,000 bushels
The bank Is sending its correspondents a
letter which includes the following state
nsnts.
The government report makes the average
number OF bushels OF corn produced in Ne
braska over a period OF five years 907.o5I 30
bushels. Our opinion. based upon the in
formation obtained rom over 90 banks and
elevators located in every county east Of
the 10th meridian. is that We will produce
this year about IS per cent OF normal
crop. or a Weld for the state of about ISL
ESQ bushels Of corn.
The government reports that the average
number OF bushels of wheat raised in Ne
braska during the LAST five years was "a
"a sss bushels This season yield Of wheat
10 about g per cent Of the normal crop.
OF about 4s.0ss 7o2 bushels Of wheat for this
year
The average Yield Of oats for the state
was s5.l7S.5oO bushels and the yield this
year is about a per cent OF the normal.
OF about q, 7ss. 50 bushels of oats for the
year.
The forage crops this year for the ooun-
ties east Of the 10th meridian probably
average about s. per cent of the normal.
For the counties west OF the 10th meridian
the forage crops are the principal crops
and of great value for feeding purposes.
and this year are probably los pr cent
