vester company is a combination OF
able competitors together occupying
a preponderant position in trade and
commerce among the states in har-
vesting machines and other agricultu-
raj implements, and therefore, by its
necessary effect unduly restricts com
petitive conditions in violation of the
antitrust act
THE Harvester company is also
combination uDduly restrictive of COM
petitive conditions because formed
with specific intent to monopolize."
These are the grounds on which At
torney-General Gregory in brief filed
on Monday. asked the United States
Supreme court to affirm the decree of

unusually fine musical entertainment
when they listened to the sacred cantata

voices at the town hall on July 3.
A great deal of credit for the success
of the evening belongs to Mrs. Benjamin
Wales who directed the chorus and to
Mrs. John A. James who played the
beautiful music of Alfred X. Gaul in
such a way as to call forth much APP
plause.
The parts of Naomi, Ruth, Orpha,
and Boaz in contralto, soprano and bass
solos We're represented by Marjorie
Ryder, Mrs. Wales, Mrs. c. E. Fiske
and c. Z. Fiske, respectively A trio
by the ladies' and duet by Naomi
and Ruth" were especially good but
the closing choruses were most ap
plauded
An Instrumental trio by Mrs. James,
Mrs Wales, and Miss Lura Twitchel
opened the evening" program. All part,
We're well interpreted and indicated
that the members of the chorus had de-
voted much time to the preparation OF
the cantata.
The proceeds were for the Library
Fund. 1t has since been repeated fol
the benefit of the library there,
Such an entertainment so we'll pre-
pared cannot but be an uplft for the

Vacation in the Berkshires.

Last summer my boy of nine and self took trip to the Berkshire Hills To spend couple of weeks near the river, groves and rills; Also to fish, swim and drive over the country roads. And see the farmers gather their crops in barrow and wagon loafs. When proposed to sonny boy that we would take that trip, He asked if 1 knew the place. and could give him a gentle tip AS to whether boys of his own age could in the village be found Who would make his stay there pleasant and good like the chaps he knew in town,
 I said, My son, I'll tell you true, all know of the place, If you will listen attentively. and not ex- hibit haste Twas over fifty years ago that your dear Dad was born In the little village up in the Hills where we're going to sojourn." Its been many years since Dad lived there, and the changes have been great. Except the old river, the hills and the fields which remain the same to date, And where l trapped some big muskrats, and occasionally caught mink, With the pleasing part of selling the skins and getting the ready "chink." The little hamlet-my native place-so very dear to me, We reached on the evening train that night at just six forty three, And to the little country Inn-so pleasant to behold GA house that was my fathers once,) and into it we strolled. To large corner room. with plenty of space, we were then assigned And after performing our toilet, and also lavishly dined, We took walk down the street apace to hear the old band, play, Which was composed of some veteran friends, as well as some young and gay. The pieces played were familiar quite, and brought back memories dear Of the time when I was youngster, and how I'd jump and cheer When 1 heard the old band playing the songs that were known the country round,

G tting Back at Kansas.

Everyone has read William Allen Whites 42-centimeter editorial shot at Nebraska, inspired by the New York Times error in assigning Nebraska in- stead of Kansas as the native state of General Fred Funston. Now comes Harvey Newbranch, editor of Senator Hitchcock's 's Omaha World Herald, with the following whitening fire of literary shrapnel:
 Base envy, as the poet remarked, withers at another's joy, and hates that excellence it cannot reach. So was it ever with Kansas.
 Nebraska raises corn and alfalfa and wheat and pork and beef and Kansas rises hell. Nebraska piles up wealth and Kansas piles up sand dunes. Nebraska is so righteous that she can trust herself to freedom, and Kansas so wicked that she must restrain herself ill gyves and chains-then cries out, See how good amp Kansas tries all things and Nebraska picks up those that are good and holds onto them. Kansas keeps the rest. Nebraska is philosophic and happy, Kansas fretful, impatient, insomniac. Kansas vainly seeks surcease in fads and follies and chimeras, Nebraska finds it in the sim pie virtues our mothers taught, rein forced by all the good things that rational use of honesty acquired wealth can procure. Nebraska is courteous and uuobstrusive, Kansas shrieking self advertiser. boasting even of her blizzards and hot winds as colder and hotter and more destructive than can be found anywhere else on earth. Nebraska outranks Kansas in all the excellencies and blessings and Kansas outranks Nebraska in her ability as a ballyhoo artist.
 "If this man White really thinks we are "a milk.eyed, placid, bluestock- inged old maid who never had throb of emotion, let him come up aud try us. Let him sneak around Lincoln, which is a Kansas burg transplanted by a Kansas breeze and not Nebraska town at all, and make his way straight to Omaha. Let him come with his hair in braid and glad, mad light in his eye. He may go home fagged and dazed and bent and broke, but at the least he can say, T have livedr And he will have the rest of his life to devote to recuperating-and remember ing He will have been to Carca. some.
