THE MAN WITH THE HOE.

Bowed with the weight of centuries he stands,
 And leans upon his hoe" wrote Edwin Markham in his famous poem. It moving picture that he drew of the bowed laborer.
 "The emptiness of in his face.
 And on his back the burden of the world.
 But things have changed. The Man with the Hoe' is no longer cowed serf. Today his is the most re spected of occupations He is the arstocrat of in dustry. The world depends him. more than ever before. and the world frankly admits his obligation
 Our Man with the hoe" today stands upright in physical strength moral self respect There is no emptiness in his face but the intelligence that goes with political freedom and scientific farming. On his back. sure enough is the burden of the world, in more real sense than But it is noble burden proudly and periodically borne The farmer is con of his duty to feed the world and in striving to do his part as the soldier in battle does his.

THAT s3.ooo.ooo.ooo.

The s300O 900 that congress has voted a loan to the Allies looks like vast of money. And it is
 about s15O for every family of in this vast nation. It is money than any country paid or lent at one time to any nation group of nations.
 But looked in another way it isn't big For
 merely proportioned the expenditures being made this country right along by those Allies They said to be spending s1OOOOOOO a day in the United States for materials and supplies. This that the sSOOOOOOOOO will not last them than year. if their present rate of buying is not increased.
 Congress wisely refused to specify that all the should be spent in this country Such demand would have introduced discordant of sordidness into graceful act Nevertheless it is certain that nearly all the loan will used to buy goods. There is no other market adapted to the Allies requirements.

JAPANESE ARTISTS
 OFFER NUMBERS AT
 CHAUTAUQUA TODAY
Prominent Nebraska Educator Praises Bisbee Superintend- ent of Schools For Urging All Year School Sessions.

The program of yesterdays Chau- tauqua was by far the best of its many excellent offerings. Large crowds at tended all the performances but in the evening many people were turned away as the big tent would not hold the unusual attendance that desired to see the famous comic opera, "The Chimes of Normandie."
 For this mornings lecture, Mir. R. R. Ellinw5od gave a talk, Progress and Conflict" which dealt with the present war. He is lecturer of force and handled his subject in a broad minded manner, which plainly showed that he had studied and knew it thor oughly.
 DrI A. R. Turner, the prominent ed ucator from Nebraska, spoke during the afternoon session on community welfare in a most sane and reasona- ble way. He praised Superintendent of Schools C. F. Philbrook, for his policy of an all-year school term and staated that on his lecture tour he would advocate it under the title of, 'The Philbrook-Barry System" and hoped that eventually school boards all over the country would take it up. Dr. Turner also spoke in glowing terms of this city's Y. NJ. c. A. and the wonderful work it was doing with the young men in this district.
 The Chimes of Normandie," was splendidly interpreted last night by large cast of eastern singers and mu- sicians. Gaspard, in the hands of F. Wooley, was sung in a finished and artistic style, while Germain, by Marie Powell; Serpolette, by Sue Parker; Jean the Fisherman. L. Thomas and The Marquis, George Newcomb were all in capable hands.
 Mir. Ellinwood's lecture for this morning will be "The Passion for Per lection"
 The Ongawas, Japanese players will wive an entertainment in the after noon that will be followed by one of the Chautauqua's most brilliant lee turers, Lee Francis Lybarger, who will speak on, ''The Land Question"
 Of course there will be a lot of new games and stories for the young peo- pie of the Junior Chautauqua at the of Mr. Lybarger's address. That branch of the Chautauqua Cir cult is one of the features of the re- markable organization and nothing is spared to make it a great success.

THE BROADER VIEW.

Formerly weghty problems of government and inter- national politics left to discussion by graduating classes of high schools and small colleges Young ora tors settled the of nations and parties in glowing and inspired terms while proud parents nodded over commencement programs. No else-with the eS cepton officials who could their duties and professors propoundng theories-ever paid much at tention to what was going on in the world
 Now however, all that is changed Everybody is dis cussing national and world affairs On the street cars the theatres stroing in the parks, shopping-wher ever they are and whatever they doing people are
 telling each other to the how to regulate food prices, etc.
 It is that there is much poor judgment displayed much ignorance of and needs But there is no great harm in that. The important thing is that peoples minds broadened. They are beginning to think in world instead of local terms Contin- ens and nations are of interest than household and club or even town and And that is one of the big and valuable results of the

the rights of the church. Her re-
mains arrived in Potosi Sunday, April

the principles of true ladyship. She
was of cheerful disposition and ner
familiar countenance and happy smile
will be sadly missed by everyone who
knew her. That she was held in high
esteem by the sisters of Mercy hos
pital is evidenced by the letter ap-
pended hereto addressed to Mr.. and
