Known as Lainsville. She. organized
a school in the then far western
town, made frequent visits across
the Missouri river and wandered
over the plains which years later
furnished the site for Omaha, the
metropolis of the west. Mrs. Sharp
used to enjoy telling of the occasion
of one of her visits to the Ne

saw under construction the first

We are travelling faster and faster

Two Ways Out of Bankruptcy.
There are only two ways of ter
minating the descent to hopeless
bankruptcy:
"1-Increasing the country's pro-
ductive power.
"2-Redu&ng the expenditures.
Gust as private extravaganza at
this moment is anti-social, so state
extravaganza is nothing short of a
serious blow to the very foundations
of the empire.
"The chancellor of the exchequer

foist such an appalling estimate as
400,000000 pounds ($2,000,000,000)
for the war and air ministries on

Every government department

Impossible to Increase Productivity.
"But it is impossible to increase
the country's productivity if higher

failing more burdensome taxation
