his friends have told that he is plan
ming to pass the winter there. He is.
without doubt, one of the greatest

mamma with manageable daughters

that young miss from west Of the
Mississippi river has captured the
Vanderbilt heir.

Commercial Body Petitions
Federal Reserve Board for

LAUREL Neb., Nov. 2l.-Farmers
Of the country will be forced into
bankruptcy unless the federal reserve
board arranges emergency credit ex-
tension. according to a petition cir
culated by the Laurel Commercial
club and signed by hundreds OF farm
'ers and business men. w. F. West
rand, secretary, says the petition is
being circulated in all parts of this
and surrounding states and will be
forwarded to Gov. w. P. G. Harding
CT the federal reserve board
The petition appeals to the federal
reserve board to issue an order de-
claring that all emergency now ex-
lists and to arrange for credit extern
sion so that some of the existing in
debtedness can be paid out of the
proceeds of the present crop" ~
"Our country is full of corn, oats,
pigs and half-fatted cattle" says the
petition. Your board is insisting
that farmers sell these products to
reduce existing indebtedness. The
only saleableI produce, is corn at 40
cents and oats at 80 cents per BUSH
el. A sale at this price will not pay
the cost Of raising the crop and will
not liquidate indebtedness, but will
simply force the crops into the
hands Of spectators and very large
part of our farmers into bank

Normal Courses
AreMade Uniform
Systematized Training Put in
Force Throughout State by
Superintendent.

Lincoln, Nov. 2i.-This year Is
the first time student teachers at
the 2l5 normal training high schools
of the state are receiving uniform
courses OF study. III previous years
school superintendents aud school
boards in the various districts and
cities outlined courses OF study. The
result, it is said, was a great vari-
ance in subjects. and in some In
stances the work was below the
standard sought by the department
of public instruction.
The uniform courses of study were
outlined and prepared during the
summer vacation season under the
direction of Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction John M. Matzen.
The course has been prepared in
pamphlet form. Six thousand Cop
les of the, 300-page pamphlet were
printed and distributed to teachers
and to each of the 1000 students
the normal high schools.
Though the courses of study have
been followed less than three
months, reports from teachers in all
parts of the state to normal school
and to Superintendent
Matzen indicate that considerably,
more progress has been made this
year than in previous years.
According to Superintendent Mat
zen no other state in the United
States has systematized the instruc-
ton of student teachers as has Ne
braska.
Nebraska is one of the few states
not suffering from a teacher short
age. The answer to this, Superin-
tendent Matzen says, is the fact that
during the last Is years nearly 10000
students have graduated from the
normal training high schools of the
state. Nearly all Of them, it is said,
took up teaching as a profession up
on their graduation,
