PopERY i4xhslpa.riED.

Within the last fortnight this corlA
munity stood witness to one Of the
many inhuman and unchristianlike
acts often perpetrated by the Roman
Catholic Church: the refusal by the
holy father of administering the
burial rites due loyal follower. tits
hardly conceivable that such an oc-
currence could take place in a
Christian community in Christian
land. It is still more difficult to
realize why such refusal should be
made. If we scan a few lines OF
papal law, however, we shall soon
learn that the soul of a deceased can
gain Heavens golden gates only by
the payment of specified sum Of
money levied by the guardian shep-
herd of the flock. In case, however,
the money is not produced, the soul
of the dear one is damned forever
and doomed to spend eternity in the
gloomy shades of purgatory. What
an ancient and medieval dogma!
Is it possible that people can be
duped and cajoled into believing
such stuff? Is it possible for a
popish priest to deny Christian
burial because of petty spite? If
reported would the bishop Of this
diocese punish the reverend father
for his unseemly conduct? Report
it and see. Such events as this
constitute the history Of the Roman
Church. The clergy of the Catholic
Church comprises men allied togeth-
er only for the purpose Of extorting
money from innocent victims under
the cloak of religion. Such dog
matte institution as this should be
wiped away. Let the true Christians
rise up and exterminate this beast.
Let the dead receive Christian burial.

Charges Widespread
Revolt Against Morals
Prevails In England

London, Nov. 22.-"Except in the
vaguest sense you cannot call Eng
land . Christian coentry," Bishop
Gore, recently leading speaker at the
English church conference, told the
International News Service today.
1T is not only that in every class
those who positively hold the Chris
tian faith, are in minority, but there
10 . widespread revolt against the
principles Of Christian morality.
"Thc demand for free divorce, the
open acquiescence in immortality as
inevitable; the widespread justihca-
ton OF what is euphematically called
birth control, are evidence of this.
II would not be astonished to see
the reign of anti-Christ, or many
anti-Christs, in our modern world.
But the divine message will still
prove victorious.
"We live in day when the facul
tv of criticism has greatly outrun the
faculty of construction. We cannot
anticipate any widespread revival OF
religion. Men in general are not
seeking first the kingdom Of God,
although they are interested in the
idea, which is very different thing,
Neither our nation nor the other
nations have shown the least dispo-
sition to take seriously to heart the
lessons of the war. The schemes
and projects OF people are very
often lacking in wisdom and depth,
and the ablest men of Our genera
ton, for the most part, seem to have
lost the faculty for decisive faith"

plow In too much vegetation. Thus
the green crop manures OF other
regions are impracticable.
Dairy and Silo.
The farm has a dairy barn that
will accommodate 80 head of cattle.
With this lot of experiments as to
feeding and the rest will be tried
out for the benefit of the district.
There is silo which has a capacity
of 400 tons. Nothing but corn has
as yet been tested in this. Rubra
Cornucopia Mercedes is the queen
of the herd. She is of Holstein
breed. She is carefully watched and
her record will be looked after with
scientific exactness. 1t is hoped in
time to raise q desirable herd, the
members Of which may be disposed
of in the community. Poland China
hogs are being tried on the farm.
Many Test Crops. ....
Experiments will be made with
test crops, of rye, corn and alfalfa.
Valentine lies at the north limit OF
the corn belt, so that corn is not a
profitable crop. Rye in the sand does
the best of the winter small grains.
Rotation as usually practiced is dif-
ficult for some of the crops leave
the ground bare during the winter
and this must be avoided in the sand
hills. One of the great needs is to
get grasses to grow on the places
where, as yet, nothing has been pro-
duced. If these can be grown there
will be at least native hay and the
soil will all the time be growing
richer SO as to lead the way for
other crops.
Try Out Trees.
Some attempt has been made on
the university farm with trees.
There is small orchard which is
plodding on. The Russian olives
planted for wind breaking qualities
are doing fairly well. But special
varieties, perhaps imported from
distant regions and perhaps gratis
with native stocks, will probably
have to be employed. There Us no
need to say that a country which
can produce native wild grapes and
plums, sand cherries and buffalo
berries is hopeless as fruit coun-
try. Some time the sand hills will
produce their fair share of luscious
fruit, but the early yielding sorts
will not be good for the frost viii
too often catch them.
Dry farming is no longer purely
experimental subject. 1t has Sue
ceeded elsewhere and it will here.
Scientists are taking data secured
by experimental farming in Utah
as having considerable bearing on
conditions in western Nebraska. The
growing of small grains is increas-
ing. !
1t will take courage, hard work
and tremendous hopefulness, to-
gether with intense study to redeem
the sand hills to the highest agri-
cultural service but the present
superintendent has all this and to
spare. ..

The fight for and against prohibi-

Although all the cities voted heav-
lily against the "dry" proposition,
the rural districts rolled up large
majorities for it. The press, which
generally favored the "wets," de-
plores the apparent cleavage be-
tween the urban and rural popula-

City folks claim the peasants distill
their own liquor on their farms and
are merely jealous OF the urbanites
who can afford to pay for their

The new law adopted by the peo-
pie prohibits the sale and manufac-
ture of oil Intoxicating beverages
