Great Western Sugar Co., he having
until recently been engaged in promot-
ing sugar factories independently. His
talk was we'll taken considering the
fact the position in which he was
placed. Mr.. Hooveris well known here
as a good "live" booster, and his pres

alton to the people who heard him.
The last but not least man to be
introduced, was Finley MacFarland,
who represented the Denver Civic and
Commercial Club. His talk was strictly
on Cooperation, which is an important
subject for the people Of this section at
this time. He cited many things the
city Of Denver has accomplished by
cooperation" and illustrated what may
he done here by the same methods.
The people of this territory are very
grateful indeed to Mr.. MacFarland for
his most instructive and interesting
speech made here last Friday night,
and we wish to assure him that he has
a iIaJ m q tori 1lv . nnoot couaa for The
best interest of this territory.

zens Of Julesburg he extended an invi
tation 20 all to repair to this popula
hostelry, where there would be goot
things to eat and more speaking.

the fierce desire to return once more
TO the grim scenes of war.
How much OF this same spirit viii
grip our own people, should they be
thrust headlong into the maelstrom, 1t
may be premature to dwell upon.
There is little reason, however. to sup.
pose that they are exempt from the
universal thrills and emotion of the
flesh, or that the immense gamble will
appeal less sensibly to them than to
others.
Nevertheless, the actual glories OF
war, the high lights that once played
over the bloody fields, have largely dis
appeared. Down at its actual basis
war has become a business of the
most monotonous and sordid charac-
ter. The year and a half of fighting in
Europe has demonstrated this truth,
beyond chance OF contradiction. All
the more reason that the nations ener-
gies should be concentrated, its forces
organized, its every available element
OF defense and offense brought to the
highest state OF perfection, either for
pressing emergencies or for possible
far off contingencies. If the glory OF
the path has been dimn1ed, these
measures OF preparedness will at least
result in fewer graves at he end.

SPRING ON THE FARM.

blooming with spring bulbs, and il we

our gardens out of doors. Let the chill

manner you are encouraging his sense

found, will be q, valuable asset to him
through life, says the Farmers Review.
We are Iight-hearted with the COM
ing of spring, life seems to have so
many more possibilities than 1t did
when we were cooped up because OF
the cold, and it behooyes us to make
the most of our surroundings. Flow
ers are such cheerful companions,
and the pretty hyacinths, lilies and
hydran geas are especially pretty at
Easter time. Easter comes late this
year-April 23-and there is no rea-
son why we who wish them can not
have some beautiful blossoms for our
Easter table. Hyacinth bulbs may be
forced by placing glass jar over the
bulb, and placing the pot where II
will get all the sunlight possible.
Now is the time to plant saliva
seed In boxes indoors. Salvias are
slow to terminate. and il large flow
ers are wanted, the seed should be
sown early and transplanted to the
ground about the middle Of May.
Sweet peas should be planted as early
as possible after danger Of freezing Is

eight inches deep and fill up the bot

Last of the Free Land.

Lincoln Journal: No small am cunt
Of fuss Is being made over the ap-
preaching government rattle of forty
three small farms in the North Platte
irrigation district This involves
1000 acres of land. To such ti1y
transa ctions has the government de-
seconded from the days when an en-
pire of the area Of California was
given to American railroads by the
government. Or the days when an
area a half larger than the state of
Nebraska could be set aside at
stroke for the support of education
the beginning of the school lands"
Nearly thirty years ago the land
hunger of the American people had
the whole territory of Oklahoma with
which to satisfy itself at a gulp. The
great land hunger which manifested
itself in the land seekers movement
OF the first decade of the present
century had large areas in the north
west to sample. Even at that time
the home supply of land ran SO short
that thousands expatriated them
selves for the sake of wheat lands
in regions so far north that summer
brady comes ere winter SHOWS begin.
Another land movement is now due.
1t would have been in full swing by
now, doubtless, but for a war to set
back the clock. On what is the COM
ing wave Of land hunters to spend
itself?
Free, or cheap land has been The
American safety valve. A population
straining for self betterment has had
it's own remedy-to go west and grow
up with the country. With the gov
eminent reduced to advertising an
opening of forty-three farms, the
safety valve may be considered for
ever closed. The expansive energy
formerly exerted outward must here
after work itself out intensively. In
creasing land speculation, with rapid
~ rising prices of land and proper
tionately increasing dissatisfaction
among the landiess would seem In
evitable. The tone of our politics and
the intensity of our social problems
cannot but be vitality changed under
the strain of dealing internally with
a social pressure which hitherto has
had the wilderness to vent Itself
upon.

At recent meeting OF group of
county superintendent at Iowa State
college, it was recommended that not
only Industrial subjects but all lines
of certificate work for rural and
grade teachers be offered at the
Ames summer session this year. In
view of that action plans are being
made to offer this work and care for
banner attendance this summer.
The superintendents not only asked
that all lines of work as formerly, be
offered again this year. but went on
record as personally willing to sup

of this work. We expect just as
