Monday, July 10, at 6 o'clock in the

which candidates can arrange to ge,

Thls announcement was again made

Official announcement made in Jack

the State Democratic Executive Com
mlttee, to the same effect.

all candidates who wish their names

fore the primary is held, and as the
primaryNw will be held two weeks from
next Tuesday, it is absolutely neces.
sary that all names be in and fee paid
Monday. The county committee will
meet Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock
and arrangements will be completed
for holding the primary.
1t was learned yesterday that there
were several candidates who had not
yet paid the fee for their names to
be placed on the ticket.
Declaring Nominees.
Mr.. McBeath stated yesterday that
at the meeting of the state committees
to be held Tuesday, four state candi-
dates would be declared the nominees
of the Democratic party without hav-
ing their names placed on the tickets.
This can be done under the primary
election law and will serve to lessen
the length of the ticket to some ex-
tent. The names of the candidates
who are so lucky as to be nominated
without opposition are Joseph w. Pow.
er, secretary of state; Ross A. Collins.
attorney general w. II. Smith. state
superintendent of education, and II.
E. Blakeslec, commissioner of Agri-
culture.
Local Contests.
For nearly every office in Forrest
county there are number of candi-
dates and the general opinion is that
the second primary is going to be
almost as lively as the first because it
is believed that where there are so
many good men aspiring for office, that
the first primary will only "thin them
to two in hill" in most cases.
The length of the ticket will be
practically the same as it was four
the names are not all in, it is believed
years ago-over sixty inches. While
that the ticket, when completed, will
contain about 145 names.
Politics are beginning to warm up.
Something like half dozen picnics
were given in as many different sec
tions of the county yesterday. AT
Sunrise there were. more than 1000
persons in attendance at the mass
meeting and picnic. Nearly every can
didate for county office was present,
as well as a few district and state
office aspirants. Each candidate was
allowed 10 minutes in which to make
his announcement and in which to givo
to the people his reasons for desiring
to be elected.

Crops At the Berinninr Of Jolly.

The Department Of Agriculture is teaching
us to think in billions when we come to consider
our growing crops. II reports for the crop con-
ditions at the beginning Of July promise OF al
most billion bushels OF wheat and close to
three billion bushels OF corn At current mar
ket prices this means about two and three
quarters billions Of dollars for these two crops
alone. other farm products are in like proper
ton and prosperity, and with continuing
promise OF excellent yield These figures may
be changed some by the following weeks, but 1t
is likely that no serious decrease will be noted.
Wheat harvest is being delayed to some extent
by the wet weather. but no great loss Of the
yield is anticipated on this score. On the other
hand the corn will profit largely by the moisture
now provided and with the normal amount OF
sunshine in July and August will attain growth
tnat will easily excel all records.
That the estimates are conservative is ind-
Gated by the figures given for Nebraska. The
wheat yield for this state Is set down at 5000
600, although some we'll posted crop observers
have set the figure at not less than $4,000, 900
bushels. For corn Nebraska's total is put at
Sc 900, 900, which is far less than the normal
yield. For many seasons Nebrsska's corn fields
have reliably produced from 175.0O0,0 900 to
zoo, GOO. 900 bushels and IL is hardly possible
the total will fall very far behind for the cur
rent season. From any angle, the crop outlook
for the United States is most encouraging, and
especially is this true of our own state.

Rsspeot mat Rsflects Patrioti,m.

The most notable feature of the outpouring
of people to take a look at the famous liberty
bell here in Omaha--as doubtless also at all the
other stopping points on the transcontinental
routes the visible manifestation of respect for
the historic relic. Curiosity in more or less de-
gree impels people to view the bell, and many
children in the throng are naturally too young
to realize fully the import but with one and all
respect plainly outweighs curiosity and the
demonstration is more a tribute to the symbol
OF liberty than the mere satisfaction of per-
sonal desire to see something often read about
II is a good sign when the great mass of the
people have respect for the objective reminder
of the costly struggle that gave us our indepen-
dence and laid the foundations Of the republic
So long the liberty bell commands this venera-
ton there is no danger that true patriotism will
disappear from this land of the free.

THE FARMER.

When the farmer from his window views
his fields that lie below,
And sees the earth In great brown spots
beneath the melting snow
And perhaps a flock OF geese a-flying
north against the sky.
Then he knows that spring Is coming
with its duties by and bye.
And he thinks Of all the plowing, ana
the planting and the chores,
That spring brings to the farmer. and
he saunters out Of doors
Where the sun Is shining cheerful, and

For though springtime brings Its duties.

Then he feels sort o. hankering fer

And to feel the sweat OF labor pearling
out upon his brow:
And to hear the crows a-cawing in the
woods, so shrill and loud:
And TO see new life a-teeming in every
furrow plowed
And a-looking in the future he can see
the waving corn,
And the oats and wheat Allowing in the
breezes of the morn.
With their tops Arranging heavy with
the dewdrops OF the night.
All sparkling I'm the sunlight with a
sort of heavenly light.
Then he forgets his gnarled hands all
hardened with the toll;
Forgets his boots warped yellow from
contact with the soil:
And remembers but the healthy tan upon
his cheek and brow;
Remembers that his once cramped soul

And he's glad he Is a farmer. with the

Does Not Like the Insinuation.


OMAHA. July 9.--To the Editor OF The
Bee: As a mother who has had children
in our high school and still has one
there. want to protest most emphatic
ally about the insinuation emanating
from Rev d. E. Jenkins, member of the
school board, when he was reported to
have intimated at the board meeting the
other night that the high school boys
and girls are roaming and loafing after
school hours all over town, frequenting
picture shows and soda fountain re-
sorts, etc. / think that such an accusa-
ton is a slur not only on the children
alone. but also on the mothers of the
high school boys and girls as well, and
I. for one want 20 tell the good reverend
that 1 know Of the whereabouts of my
children every minute Of the day and
night, and also that the children that 1
brought up are not In the habit OF
wandering and ioafing after school hours.
/ also think that the remarks OF the
good preacher about the inferiority of
our girls who graduate from our high
school and who are fitting themselves
as teachers in the Omaha Training
school is unkind and uncalled for. Our
girls will compare favorably with any
of the outsiders who have taken courses
in normal or universities and I believe
that our girls even surpass them. They
are our glrls-the pride of their mothers.
and even a preacher Of the gospel can
not change our opinion. MOTHER.

British Recruiting in the United States.


Great Britain has touched another point in
its relations with the United States which in
wolves the general question OF neutrality, and
which may become annoying IL not acute before
II is finally disposed of. 1t has to do with the
practice of British patriotic societies" in this
country aiding volunteers" to return to Great
Britain to join the army. II seems the United
states does not undertake to distinguish be-
tween this and actual recruiting. and has
checked the progress of the work. in one in
stance going far as to secure indictments
against some of the men thus enlisted for Kitch,
ener's army, Against this latter proceeding Am
bassador spring-Rice has lodged protest.
The efforts OF this government TO hold the
balance fairly between the European combatants
has led to many complications. and will surely
produce more before the war is ended. 1t is
easy TO understand why one or the other of the
beligerents should seek the advantage of our
favor, but there is no good reason why IL should
be granted. Many reservists of all nations left
this country at the call to arms and many others
have gone on as individuals and are now in
the trenches. but none have gone out as recruits
gathered here.
The point now insisted upon by Great Brit
ain win likely be met with dignified and de-
termned negative at Washington.
