culturists.

Nebraska farmers have seldom
been criticized as to the manner in
which they have operated their farms
but much criticism has been directed
toward them because of their laxity
in business methods and salesman
ship, according to officials of the
Omaha Grain exchange, who have
announced the establishment of a
school which will help the farmers
make up this deficit.
Farmers of years experience who
are experts in raising big crops are
helpless when it comes to disposing
of them. They are at the mercy
of the better statesmen, the officials
say.
First School of Instruction.
This condition has long been de-
scricd by the best teachers in agricul-
tural pursuits and many schools and
short courses have been established
in various communities to aid the
farmers to overcome their short
comings.
To the Omaha Grain exchange
goes the credit of establishing the
first school of instruction at which
Nebraska farmers will be able to
learn all about the inner workings Of
an ordinary grain exchange.
The school is to be established in
the Omaha Grain exchange building
and there will be courses in buying,
inspection and the merchandising Of
grain. There will also be lecturers
on how to investigate freight rates
and shipping methods.
Lessons in Shipping.
In the transportation department Of
the Omaha Grain exchange alone the
Nebraska farmer will be able to lea-u
enough about shipping to save him
hundreds of dollars each year.
In the buying and selling classes
the farmers will have the benefit of
the knowledge gained by the expe-
rienced grain men throughout their
years of merchandising grain.
What may have appeared vague
and mysterious to the man who has
not had this actual experience will
be explained in such manner that the
movement, handling and merchandise
ing of grain will be thoroughly un-
derstood.
The school is expected to be in
operation in the near future. Any
farmer who cares to may attend and
stay as long as he likes. There will
be no tuition fees. Farmers who
are interested in the school are urged
to write the educational committee
at the Omaha Grain Exchange.

Where It Started
"The Upper Crust" {"

This popular phrase, meaning the
upper rank of society, originated
with an ancient custom of carving.
A loaf of bread was carved with the
side-crust removed; the upper crust,
which was supposed to be the choic-
est part, was given to the person
highest in rank at the table, and the
lower crust distributed to the per-
sons of lesser degree.

Selfishness,

SeIflShneSS.
You have got to expect to deny
yourself of pleasure if you would
give real pleasure to those around
you.
But the things you go without for
the benefit of others should react
to your ultimate gain.
The thought of being able to add
to the enjoyment of someone else
is enough of joy if you have a truly
benevolent heart.
Pleasure you enjoy at the expense
OF others should not be accepted or
sought by you.

More Truth Than Poetry
THE MIRACLE
MONTAGUE.

When William brushes back his hair,
Which, only just last fall
His sisters bitterly declare,
Was never brushed at all,
And places, in new red tie,
An imitation pearl,
Which he saved up week to buy,
What ails him is girl.
He has no loathing now for spats
Or coats with swallow tails;
He doesn't call boys sissycats
Who clean their fingernails.
He doesn't strew his clothes about
But folds them on a chair,
And every evening he goes out
He never tells us where.
He seems sedate and staid, somehow,
Considering his years,
We never have to tell him now
To wash behind the ears.
And all the family rejoice
This miracle to see
And think the lady of his choice
A wonder girl must be.
But mother bravely makes believe
1t brings her happiness
That she no longer has to grieve
Because he hates to dress,
And yet she wears troubled frown
It's fine, she says-but still,
She knows there's not girl in town
Half good enough for Bill.
