RIPENING CROPS KEEPING
FARMERS BUSY AT PRESENT.
Soil TiIIers Harvesting the Enormous
Glover and Timothy Yield.

With the hay fields in splendid con-
dition farmers are busy now cutting
or beginning to do so.
John Edwards, who lives in town,
left Monday morning for Flora, where
he and his son Ervie, and son-in-
law, Will Garthwaite, will harvest
about 20 acres of hay. Mr.. Edwards
thinks the crop will run about three
tons to the acre. Most of the hay
will be fed to the stock on the place.
1t is said that the timothy is being
cut rather early in many places and
that a delay would produce better
hay. The farmers are anxious, though
to complete the harvest and many
will not wait for further maturity or
second bloom.

CORN CANNING SOON.

Frank Schreiner, president of the
Lancaster Canning Company says
that things are getting in shape to be-
gin this seasons pack.
Mr.. Schorer, the superintendent,
has been busy for several months past
perfecting the details and placing
things in readiness.
The deluge of June - injured some
Of the stands Of sweet corn as, in fact
it did all other crops in the Lancaster
vicinity. Actual packing will probably
commence some time in August. Be
fore that time preparations will be
made for the comfort and health of
the employees, who will work at the
plant in large numbers during the
canning season.

THIS FARMER FINDS BEES A
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT
DIR. John WambOld of Highland, Is In
the Business In Earnest.

DR.. John Wambold, brother Of DR..
F. A. Wambold Of st. Clements, COM
bines opthalmology with bee culture.
Aside from his professional work DR..
Wambold is a lover of bees, and finds
entertainment and profit in them. He
started his present apiary with six
hikes, paying small price.
He now has thirty-five hives.
Enough honey was taken from the
original hives in a very short time
to pay for them and leave the bees as
clear profit.
Bee culture is like any other indus
try and requires knowledge of the sub
ject. That DR.. Wambold knows how,
is evidenced by his having recently
spent $50 in cans to contain the honey
the bees are producing.

Lorena Fuerstenberg, aged four
years, residing in the north part of the

she stood directly behind the mother
who, unaware of her presence, swung
the axe back. DR.. Gault took one

COUNTY FARM RUN ON SELF SUPPORTING
BASIS With HANDSOME SURPLUS LEFT OVER
FACTS FROM ASYLUM BOARDS REPORT-GRANT CO. PER-
HAPS BIGGEST FARMER HERSELF-5O7 ACRES DEV0T-
ED TO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is BEING RAISED.

While Grant County has a number Of
big farms and multitude of prosper
Gus farmers, it is probably true that
the biggest farmer in the county is
old Grant county herself, out at the
county farm.
Things look mighty good at the
county farm these days and head
farmer, Superintendent NJ. V. Burris,
views the world with his accustomed
geniality. The asylum is a farm on
huge scale for upon the 507 acres
must be grown enough foodstuffs to
feed the population Of more than two
hundred patients and attendants, and
also furnish a handsome surplus each
year.
That is the way the asylum board
and Mr.. Burris look at it and, aside
from caring for the unfortunates in a
proper manner they are running the
farm without cost to the county or the
taxpayers.
The farm surplus last year, that is,
the products sold, amounts to ST.
O05.67, according to the report made
last week to the state board of con-
troll To show how this surplus is
created and how the farm acreage is
fully utilized, the following figures for
this year are submitted:
Corn, 100 acres.
Oats, 40 acres.
Hay, 12O acres.
Potatoes, 10 acres.
Garden, 16 acres.
Pasture, 203 acres.

Show at Fremont

Henry Ford, his son Ebsel and a
party OF twenty-five department
heads, experimenters and officials Of
the Ford Motor company. passed
through Omaha yesterday morning
enroute for Fremont to attend the
tractor show. Mr.. Ford's secretary,
E. R. Bryant, met the newspaper men
and said that Mr.. Ford had refused
to be interviewed on this trip, which
was in the nature OF q vacation for
him, and would have nothing to say
before he reached Fremont.
Mr.. Bryant said that the new Ford
tractor would be demonstrated at the
tractor show, but that It would not
be put on the market until 1t was IS
nearly perfect az the Ford organiza-
ton could make 1t. The tractor is
intended to do the work OF six horses
and do it anywhere that horses can
70. It draws two plows and can be
used on the roads, in the corn fields
for cultivation, and almost anywhere
else, furnishing power for farm ma
chinery, etc.
The party included half dozen
Hawaiian musicians, who furnish mu.
sic for the party on the trip and will
entertain the visitors at Fremont.

ROBINS SUPPORT
PLEASES CORRICK
Decision Of Progressive Con.
vention Chairman to Back
Hughes Is Welcomed.
MEANS MUCH TO CAUSE
trrom ! stan corre,popdent.)

Lincoln, Aug. 6.--(Special. 1.-THE
announcement that Raymond Robins
would support Charles E. Hughes for
the presidency is very pleasing to
third party progressives here, and to
none more so than to Frank P. Cor
rick, state chairman, who was SER
geant-at-arms for the convention at
Chicago over which Robins presided,
and the personal representative OF
Colonel Roosevelt in Nebraska.
"You may say" said Colonel Cor
rick to The Bee this morning. that
the stand taken by Mr.. Robins is
mighty pleasing to Nebraska pro-
gressives. This is especially so when
II is remembered that Mr.. Robins was
formerly a deomcrat and one OF
President Wilson's strong supporters
for the nomination in 1912, though
he later assisted in the organization
of the progressive party and ever
since that time has been one OF our
leaders.
at means much to the cause of
true Americanism to have Mr.. Robins
come out for Mr.. Hughes" added Mr..
Corrick. 1T simply means that Mr..
Robins sees nothing TO hope for any
more in the democratic party, at least
after this campaign, and that Mr..
Hughes will receive the bulk Of the
progressive vote, including most OF
those who were formerly democrats.
THE position taken by him is that
progressives should not hesitate be-
tween the party Of nationalism and
the party OF sectionalism, and he has
expressed the very feeling which
prompted the progressives to endorse
Mr.. Hughes, as coming nearer the
ideas we advocate than does Mr..
Wilson.
"Mr. Robins letter has q strong
sentiment about it that will appeal
to every true progressive, and while
most OF Us may be little disap-
pointed at not being in the fight this
year with party candidate Of our
own, we feel that in endorsing the
republican candidate we have taken
the stand that all true progressives
should take who believe in true
American principles Of government"

FINDS JOY IN THE
LIFE OF CHRISTIAN
DR.. Jenkins Says Nothing Is So
Elusive as Pleasures Of
This World.
CHRISTIAN Is TRULY HAPPY

Rev. DR.. D. E. jenkins, president
Of Omaha university, preached yes
terday at St. Marks Lutheran church
on Joy in Christian Life"
"The desire for happiness is in
stinctive in man." said DR.. Jenkins
"Yet nothing 10 more elusive. So
called pleasure seekers never find
happiness. Their pleasure is vapid
cold, dead, and it leaves void and
dissatisfaction akin to despair
They are in the position Of Tantalus
whose punishment, according to the
myth, was to stand in water up to
his chin, tortured by thirst, yet every
time he stopped to drink the inviting
water it receded and not drop could
he touch with his lips.
"True happiness is found in the
Christian life, in doing duty day by
day, in doing your work, in not seek.
ing happiness. For happiness, as
Emmanuel Kant said, fees from those
who pursue it, and abides with those
who do not court it.
Religion Is Happiness.
THE Christian religion is pre-.
eminently the religion Of happiness
One Of Christ's last remarks to Hi:
disciples was: These things have ]
spoken unto you that my Joy might
abide in you and that your JOY might
be full
This is a joy that endures. II
'abides.' II differs in this respect
from the ephemeral, empty, spas
modic, unsatisfying Joy Of the worlds
pleasure seekers.
1.-THE Christian religion is full OF
happiness. Christs sermon on the
mount deals entirely with happiness
for the word blessed there really
means happy That great sermon
constituted Christ's rules to His dis
ciples for the happy life.
"And aside from those rules for
right living, aside from devoutness,
aside from unselfshness, aside from
duty, there is no real happiness.
Those who go on pleasure-seeking
Joy rides through the world, living
for themselves alone, Sinking their
duties, seeking the will-,o-the-wisp
good time, end up in disaster and
the great emptiness Of unsatished
longing.
Joys Of the World.
Lord Chesterfield, perhaps the
most brilliant man England ever pro-
duced, expressed his great disap.
pointment with the so-called joys Of
the world.
1--WE need to emphasize more the
joys OF the Christian life. II is not
q religion Of long faces and Austen
ton from the legitimate pleasures Of
life. II is quite the opposite. But
II recognizes the fact that the real
great and abiding happiness is found
In devotion, duty, work, and not in
Sinking all these.
yet this joy is unknown to many
even Of our wise men. Prof. Peck
Of Columbia university, recently had
an article in q magazine, not SEN
sational magazine, but a learned and
philosophical one, in which he dis
cussed the question: Is Life Worth
Living, and solemnly came to the
gloomy conclusion that il a man
Is tired OF life he should have the
right to end II. What wretched
failure is the life Of man who can
have such an outlook on earthly ex.
istenee. What lot he has missed
