BETTER Bridges for Nebraska.

Nebraska is Just now going through an ex-
perlence that has been repeated many times in
the history OF the state Heavy rains in June
have caused freshets in the streams OF the state
and much damage has followed especially in
the matter OF destruction Of bridges across the
creeks and rivers The state engineer recon-
mends that these bridges be replaced that the
danger of destruction by June floods will be
avoided. 1t can only be done by the adoption
OF n sturdier form of construction.
Bridges have too often been built In flimsy
fashion, and OF such material as is least calcu-
lated to withstand the stress OF sudden rise in
the stream. This practice is due TO the policy
OF economy that has been in some instances
forced upon the residents OF the communities
served by the bridges. Nebraska has reached
such q stage in it's material development how
ever. that II is no longer economy to build any
public structure a temporary basis. Perma-
nency should be sought, and this through such
construction as reasonably may be depended
upon in time OF strain. 1t Will be found much
cheaper in the end TO establish bridge that
will be permanent than TO be called on to renew
a less costly structure every year or two
Nebraska's highways are taking a perma-
nent character. too with the development of the
state and this affords another reason for the
building OF better bridges. The change in the
traffic that passes along the highways. II becom-
ing heavier and more important with each year,
is also argument for the affirmative on this
question, which is worthy of the closest study
and consideration by the authorities.

On the Water or in Il.

take his aquatic pleasure vicariQusly, as he did
on Friday, when he waited for news of the Yale
Harvard boat races, getting his material benefit
from daily dabblings in his tub at home. But
the boat race itself is magnificent spectacle
unsurpassed in this quality by any form of con-
test and the interest shown is evidence Of the
growing Importance Of water sports in American
life.
Natures invitation to out-of-doors Is per
sistent but In no other form is IL more attrac-
tive than when backed by the lure OF a stream
or lake. Clear, limpid water OF sufficient depth
to make a header safe. holds in its cool caress
a Joy that can be found nowhere else in all the
world; nothing surpasses the pleasure the swim
mer has in the water. The fisherman, with his
tackle suited to his whim; the yachtsman, with
his smartly trimmed sail; the power-boat fiend,
his kicker" perfectly timed; the oarsman.
swinging gloriously to his sweeps-all these are
enjoying one OF the greatest blessings to be
found in all natures beneficence-life on the
water, or in It.
Americans are more and more proving their
appreciation of this privilege and the presence
OF rivers, lake and oceans provides water In
plenty for the great common people. who find In
IL vigor and comfort along with their fun.

Bankers and Farmers.

Cooperative self-interest between bankers
and farmers is one OF the practical developments
of the times. The tughandle relations hitherto
prevailing are giving way to a more equitable
division OF the obligations each bear to the
ether. Primarily the prosperity OF the banker.
especially the country banker, springs almost
directly from the prosperity OF the farmer. II
il 10 the credit OF intelligent bankers that they
appreciate this and are showing the right Co
operative spirit in practical ways
Recent conventions of divisional bankers
associations In the middle west and In the east
have devoted the greater portion OF their time
10 considering means 20 assist farmers In max
ing improvements. enhancing crop values and
preventing waste The American Bankers
association has an agricultural commission at
work on plans for lettering the condition OF
farmers. Many bankers dealing with the tillers
are, on their own initiative putting TO the test
different methods OF stimulating intensive
farming and giving direction to ambitious but
UNFRAMED farmers One hundred banks in
Michigan hold exhibits Of fruit and farm
products in their buildings. some maintain agri-
cultural libraries for visitors. and still others
make small loans to boys and girls TO cultivate
gardens One bank in Minnesota and one In
Massachusetts, employed agricultural and stock
experts to address farmer institutes, and several
banks In Illinois advertised to loan money with
out interest for building silos. In other loeali-
ties. notably in the Dakotas. bankers are giving
practical assistance to farmers in grading up
stock. even providing pedigreed animals at cost.
There is no limit to the good results sure to
follow friendly cooperation between financier
and farmer along such lines. Il reflects not
only intelligent self-interest. but neishborly
helpfulness. and offers a more promising foun-
dalton for rural credits than lawmakers have
| as yet been able to devise.

Who is the Happy Warrior?
IT'S he whose law is reasoni who DC
Upon that law as on the best of friends;
Whence, in a state where men are
tempted still
To evil for a guard against worse i'll,
And what in quality or act H. best
Doth seldom on right foundation rest,
He labors good on good TO fix, and ewes
To virtue every triumph that no knows;
Who If he rise TO station Of command,
Rises by open means and there Will
stand
On honorable terms. or else retire,
And In himself possess his own desirei
Who comprehends his trust. and to the
same
Keeps faithful with a singleuess of aim;
And therefore does not stop, nor lie in
wait
For wealth or honors. or for worldly
state.
Whom they must follow; on whose head
Like showers of mama If they come at
all:
Whose powers she'd round him in the
common strife
Or mild concerns of ordinary life,
A constant influence, a peculiar grace;
But who, II he be called upon TO face
Some awful moment to which heaven
has Joined
Great issues, good OF bad for human
Is happy as a lover. and attired
With sudden brightness like man IN
spired;
And through the heat of conflict keeps
the law
In calmness made; and sees what he
foresaw.
