Pays Dunton Compliment.

The Cottage Grove Leader pays
Prof. j. E. Dunton, who has just been
reelected superintendent of the
schools there, big compliment. He
was formerly principal of the Falls
City schools, and at one time was at
Ballston, and is well known in this
county. The Leader says:
"That was a fine compliment to
Prof. j. E. Dunton, when last week
for the fourth year in succession he
was made the unanimous choice of the
school board for superintendent of
the Cottage Grove schools. This is
indeed, substantial recognition of the
ability and success of Prof. Dunton
as thoroughly progressive and prac-
tical educator. Under his efficient adj
ministrations of the affairs of our city
schools much progress and advance
ment has been made in every depart
ment.'

One of the features Of the county
fair next fall will be a home coming

County Commissioner George Wells,
one of the substantial ranchers in the
independence neighborhood, is grievi-
ously disappointed over the result of
his undertaking to engage in breeding
thoroughbred hogs, but notwithstand-
ing his unsuccessful efforts thus far
he is persistent-and persistence wins
i'll the end. Last fall he purchased
two registered Duroc sows, paying Il
fancy price for the prize winners, and
a few days ago they gave birth to an
aggregate of twenty-three pigs, with
only one female in the litters, and it
turned up its toes to the daisies with
three others, leaving Mr.. Wells with
nineteen males. Under these circum-
stances he can hardly figure out Just
how he is going to increase his stock
of thoroughbreds.

as A. V. R. Snyder was avoiding a
cattle guard by climbing fence, his
toe caught in a barbed wire, throwing
him to the ground with great force,
from the effects of which he is suffer-
ing with an injured hip; not sufficient
ly serious, however, to lay him on the

SHATTERED DREAMS.

OF a kind by far the best,
Where no trolley-cars would rumble
No horses hoofs would clink
On pavements and no noisy wheels
Would rouse a sleepy gink.
Yes. / hied me TO the country,
To a farmhouse far remote,
Where the fields at night lay silent.
Where no sounds the darkness smote,
'Cept the screech-owl and the night
hawk
And l sank to slumber still,
Lulled by the lonesome lullaby
OF far-off whipperwill.
Then all of sudden a robin called,
A wood-pecker drummed and an old COW
bawled,
A bob-white whistled, rooster crowed,
A meadow-lark bubbled, another COW
lowed.
A gulnea-hen screeched, donkey brayed,
The house-dog barked and the horses
neighed.

Iox At the White Hou,s.

"All the world loves a lover" and that's why
the world looked over it's morning paper, set
down its cup OF coffee, gasped and grinned. For,
on the front page, stared forth the announce
ment that Woodrow Wilson, austere and OF
"single-track" mind, had again been winged by
Cupid's dart. and would within few weeks
lead to the altar his second bride. This news
might have been a bit more startling had IL not
tcen that the public was somewhat prepared for
almost anything by the announcement made
earlier in the day, that the president had gone
ever into the suffrage camp, and was convinced
that woman should be clothed with full political
privileges. One might speculate on the connec-
tion between the two announcements, as indi-
Gated by the order in which they we're given out;
the easy inference is that in his Joy over the
one. the president cheerfully conceded the other.
However, II is good to know that for the
mainder OF his term the president will not have
to SIT alone and brood In solitude over the cares
thrust upon him by the untoward procession of
events. His privacy will be shared by the help
meet Of his choosing, his loneliness dispelled by
her comforting presence, and his burdens light
ened because they are shared. The nation will
hope for Mr.. Wilson new-found happiness, and
wish for him and his bride well a long life
and happy one.

More Ahont Good Roads.

In another column OF this page The Bee
produces the Introductory part Of the First An
nual Report OF the iowa State Highway
mission, which has just come TO hand which we
commend to the reading Of all who are inter-
ested in the good roads movement in Nebraska.
Improvement OF the highways In Iowa during
the last two years under the highway commits
sion OF that state has been marked, to say moth
ing OF the economies effected, and Iowas expe-
rence should be OF direct value to Nebraska
with similar topography in much OF its territory.
The part OF the report which we reprint,
however. has chiefly to do with abuses that pre-
viously existed, and the difficulties in the way
OF remedying them. Whether conditions now
controlling road Improvement in Nebraska re-
semble those that formerly obtained in Iowa, we
are not prepared to say but we repeat the
declaration made few days ago that, while we
are spending large amounts on bridge and road
construction and maintenance in this and other
counties, we plainly have not been getting our
moneys worth or scoring adequate results II
adoption Of the Iowa State Highway commission
system would help Nebraska get quicker the
good roads we so much want, something OF that
kind should be the goal OF our propaganda here.

Conflict OF sexes.

BAXTER. Tenn, Oct. 6.-To the Editor

ference just held in your city. have
had the pleasure OF reading your paper
the past week. am a member OF the
Nebraska conference and appointed as
instructor here I'm this Methodist school
instead OF as a pastor in Nebraska
few days ago noticed an article by
Dorothy DIX on the Conflict OF the
sexes" which, in my estimation. Is so
seriously I'm error that / cannot refrain
from comment. She represents man and
wife as having inevitable conflicts due
to the variation OF sex and points out
that they would care more for each
other II not husband and wife, 1t ia
clearly evident that she does not under
stand the true unity OF the marriage re-
lation. A true, divine marriage Is a per-
feet unity and there are no conflicts
between them. They never think OF Il
as a bondage. but as the most blessed
fellowship. each being the complement OF
the other. '.The Conflict of the Sexes'
exists only IN faulty fiction OF IN the
lives OF those who happen TO have agreed
to live together, but who know nothing
Of the perfect unity OF their marriage.

The Perfection Of Pageantry.

The Bee voices the practically unanimous
Eentiment OF all who saw the Ak-Sar-Ben beau
tlful electrical floats this year that It has
reached almost the perfection of parade pagean-
try In design workmanship. color and illumi-
nation these living moving pictures have no
counterpart anywhere, and their dazzling spen-
dor and artistic beauty cannot fail to have an
uplifting influence the minds OF the specta-
tors.
Ak-sar-Ben has, moreover, learned by ex-
perence that to be popular the theme for such
a pageant must appeal to young and old of every
class of the community. Nothing can do this
successfully except the tales Of childhood the
stories of the Bible and perhaps the folklore of
local history

Major Church Howe

The death of Major Church Howe takes away
a man who was for many years a central figure
in Nebraska politics, soldier, a law-maker and
a diplomat; a man who made staunch friend
ships and keen enmities. Major Howe's polit-
ical activities date back to now by-gone period
when he was usually at cross-purposes with the
policies and ideals OF The Bee and its editor, but
no resentments were harbored either side
and he divested himself almost completely of
his old animositieB when he entered the consul
lar service. Here he made a brilliant record at
all the posts to which he was assigned In many
different parts OF the world retiring to return
20 Nebraska for the sunset years of his life. A
forceful man, always in the forefront in what
ever he was engaged he leaves a record of serv-
ice to his country, first, in helping to save the
Union, then in developing frontier state. and
finally in advancing its commercial interests in
foreign lands.
