VIII Invite Fnemen.

Columbus firemen commencing to discuss the
question of extending invitation to the Nebraska
State Volunteer Fremen's Association hold its
nual convention in Columbus in January, 1913. Some
may think it is little early yet talk of this matter
is too early to begin preparations The place
for holding the 1913 meeting will be decided the
next convention, which will be held at Kearney next
January and the remen know the sentiment of
the citizens before taking the responsibility of extending
an invitation for them to come here.
At the last convention held Alliance the delegates
met with considerable sentiment in favor of coming

We know of no better way of disposing of
Harmon than to have the Omaha undesirables
coach him. $50 Hitchcock is making good,
but If he presumes to usurp organs place, he
presumes too much.
The Cedar County News gets right down to good
old homely simile in the following paragraph:
If it were children fighting, each pounding
the other and asserting ''he hit me first, - the
mother would probably paddle them both. And
that is just about what old Aunty Democracy
will do and ought to do to her boys that can't
keep from fighting among themselves
The Grand Island Free Press seems to get down
the nubbin of the whole thing in the following lang
uage:
Inasmuch as purely personalities are involved,
Dahman has it in for Bryan because the later
did not support him, and MIR. Bryan has it in
for Harmon because he did not support him
when he headed the democratic ticket.
In the limelight Dahlman has shown himself
to be a very revengeful and vindictve polite
ian-one who is ready to strike back at any and
every opportunity.
The Plainview News is of the opinion that
There seems to be prospect of a row at the
state convention ''who is who'' in Ne
braska this year. That the Douglas county
bunch do not represent the sentiment of Nebras-
ka democrats is our belief

admission that perhaps appears but he does not
seem to be the kind of to be easily convinced
against his will.
1t hardly seems plausible that reference to the

an infuriated mob would be conducive to brotherly
harmony Yet the peacemaker hopes for harmony, " and

Prof. Early to Lecture.

MT, r. c. Miller, the county or gahlzer of the Boys Corn Club, an- hounces that Prof. Thomas A. Early, special agent of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., VIII be in Forrest City on March l 11th, to deliver a talk to the boys of the St. francis county Corn Club and to the tanners of the town and county who care to attend. This talk will be on the latest scientific methods of plant Ing and raising corn, and will be of much interest to the farmer when it iS remembered that the boys of the corn clubs of the state of Arkansas averaged more than 9 bushels more per acre than the best farmers of the Slate by following the instructions of the Department and using the best seed corn and following the latest methods of farming.
 We trust that great many of the Iarmers and all the boys of the coun- Iy will take advantage of the oppor- Iunlty offered to hear this talk on scientific corn raising.
