IL Great Success.
Our Welfare association is an un-
qualified success" declared President
Green. You will not find an employe
of this store who is not thoroughly sat
isfied that the association Is OF great as
sistance. Those who have faithfully paid
I'm their dues each month and have not
vet received a single penny IN benefits
realize their money Is doing double duty
protecting them. and at the same time
their fellow employees.
Our association does what only two
other similar associations IN the country
do. II pays doctor bills and provides free
medicine That is a mighty big feature
when YOU stop TO think OF It. II Is even
more important than the weekly benefit
of half salary.
we are satisfied the association is a
success in regard TO tho sick benefit end
1t is more Of a success when you con-
slider the promotion Of good fellowship
and the entertainments we give"

association has cared for. The association
pays the expense OF minor operation
just as 1t does expenses incurred during
sickness
Nearly All Are Members.
When tho welfare association was
organized % per cent of the employees OF
the Burgess-Nash company became menu
bers. Since then practically everybody
in the store has become a member and
the management OF the store has been so
pleased with the success OF the organi-
cation that II requires each new employe
to enroll. Everybody belongs. from the
general manager TO drivers on tho wagons,
from the big buyers to the bundle girls.
from the department managers to the
office boys. Dues range from 10 cents
a week TO 80 cents a week in ratio TO the
salaries earned.
But the welfare association is not
merely a sick benefit association. 1t has
still another purpose. That is to promote
spirit OF fellowship and fraternity.
Since its organization two entertain
ments have been held under it's auspices.
The first entertainment was vaudeville
show and dance held at Metropolitan hall
last spring The second was the big
picnic held this summer at Nashwood.
The third, the biggest venture of all, is
scheduled for production I'm the near
future at the Boyd theater. This enter
tainment will be in the nature OF a show
that Is now being written. 1t will be a
corker, declare tho members of the as
ISOLATION who are getting It up. The
actors will all BIO members of the assocl-
alton, a reasonable price OF admission
will be charged and the profits will be
placed In the Golfers of the association.

Daniel Freeman served his country in
the Union army until the close of the
Civil war, I'm 1866. Then he brought his
bride and settled on his Nebraska home
stead. This has remained ever since the
family home. Here their seven children
grew TO manhood and womAnhood and
here Mrs Freeman lives with children
and grandchildren.
Mr.. Freeman died December 20, 1905.

The First Homestead

The free homestead law has been called
the most important act for the welfare
OF the people ever passed in the United
states. Under this law any man or wo-
man q years old or the head Of a family
can have 16O acres Of land by living on
II five years and paying about SIS in
fees. For the first eighty years Of
United States history there were no
free homesteads The settlers were
abliged to buy their land. The price
was low, but they were often very poor
and in many cases lost their land after
living upon and improving it because
they had no money TO pay for II.
In 1s6s a party. called the Free Soil
party demanded free homesteads for the
people. In 1854 the first free homestead
bill was introduced in congress by Con-
gresham Galusha A. Grow of Pennsyl-
vania- The people OF the west and poor
people everywhere were in favor of the
bill. There was strong opposition 10 it,
however. The first homestead act re-
quired the settler to pay Is cents an acre
for his land. and was passed I'm 1860. This
bill was vetoed by President Buchanan
II was not until May 30. 1862. that the
free homestead act was finally passed
and signed by President Abraham Lin
coin. The law took effect on January
!. 1873.
The first free homestead in the United
states was taken by Daniel Freeman on
cub creek in Gage county, Nebraska,
about five miles northwest OF Beatrice.
Daniel Freeman was born in Ohio In 1895
and moved with his parents TO Illinois

The autumn days have come. the sad
dest days of the year. And all the au-
tumn leaves are falling fast and thick.
The fields and meadows are brown. And
all the flowers are gone except the vel
low goldenrod along the roadside and the
aster in the wood. The robins and the
wren have flown south long ago.
But all through the gloomy day we can
hear the big black crow with his cav.

as It chatters over its stony way, and
the fields look rich with golden grain.
The little squirrel in the woods creeps

And after dusk in autumn no more we
hear but the faint tinkle OF the cowbell

One bright morning after rainy day
Lincoln went to the court house. As he
was few miles from home he came to
a mudhole. He heard a pig grunting,
but he kept on.
When mile or so from the mudhole
he thought he would turn back and help
the pig out. So he went back and started
to help him out. He had a new suit on,
but that did not hinder. He put log
that he could stand on close to the hole.
lie got his suit dirty
After the pig was out it grunted. 1t
sounded to Lincoln as though he was
saying Thanks" to him. After that Lin
coin went to the court house.
Lincoln always was kind and honest

the free homestead bill from the time Il
was first introduced In congress- Year
after year he watched It's progress and
hoped for its passage and many times
said that he wished to be the first man
to take a homestead When the free
homestead bin was signed Daniel Free
man was a soldier in the Union army. A
few months later he was given a brief
furlough and came 20 Nebraska 70 look
over the beautiful country, then lying
vacant, for a home. He found the place
that suited him and started for the near
est United States land office. which was
then at Brownsville. Neb., arriving there
December 81 1862. The little town was
thronged with settlers, who had come
there 10 take land. That night there was
a New Years I've party at the hotel,
which was attended by all. The new
homestead act was 10 go into effect the
next day, but as New Years was a holi-
day, the land office would not be open
until January 2 Mr.. Freeman was UNI
der orders TO join his regiment and ex-
pected to leave the next day. He told
his story and his great desire 20 be the
first homesteader IN the United States
All the others agreed that he should
have the first chance and with him per
suaded a clerk I'm the land office TO open
the office TO open the office a few min
utes past midnight on January for Dan
Tel Freeman alone.
Thus It came that Daniel Freeman made
homestead entry number ono and after
wards received homestead patent number
one for 100 acres on Cub creek near Beat
rice. Thus Nebraska has the honor Of
having the first homestead in the United
