A REGULAR GIRL
By Berton Braley


GAY. what do you mean By Regular Girl7
~ Well. that's bit puzzliuE 10 state.
Ter hair has. perhaps. an Irregular curl
or maybe it's perfectly straight.
And maybe she's pretty and maybe she's not,
And maybe she's stately or short.
But somehow or other you always can spot
A giri who's tho regular sort.
TNHERE's always regular feminine charm
l. To all OF her regular ways:
There's purity. too, which no eva can HARM
There's honor and truth in her gaze.
But there's an Irregular whimsical twist
To some OF her thoughts and her acts.
Which makes her exceedingly hard 10 resist,
For mystery always attracts,
GHE's eager and joyous and vivid and smart.
~ She's healthy and wholesome and sweet.
Her Regular smile gives each masculine heart
slightly irregular beat;
Regular Pal you can bank on for life
With faith no hard luck can dispcl.
Aud-a Regular Girl makes Regular Wife
And q Regular Mother as we'll.

FARM HOMES
Much Attention Being Given ms
Question W Those Residing In
The Country. One Important
Item Not To Be Overlooked.

The transformation that has TAX
an nlace in the appearance of farm
homes. both the exterior ana III
terror. within the past Few years
has been marvellous. Today many
country homes are as beautiful ana
inviting in appearance as those
seen in the best residence sections OF
the cities. 49,
Although tastes differ as to the
choice of flowers and shrubbery,
and the interior decorations are SUP
iect to the whims Of the women. the
general opinion seems to be that the
finishing touch to all is given by the
selection of the Ohio State Journal
as the newspaper for the home.
For over III years this great
implication has been welcome
messenger to the people. Your
Grandfather was no doubt one OF
the early supporters of the Ohio
state Journal and cleaned the news
of his day from it's columns.
The Ohio State Journal has made
steady advancement and maintained
ito MACE as Central Ohio's best
newepaper. The farmer and his
family are interested in the news OF
the world. They also enjoy readlne
editorial opinions; communications
from the readers on the principal
topics of the day: the continued
stories: Jane Hope: Daily Patterns;
Mutt and jeff in their daily foolish
ness and numerous other features
appearing exclusively in the Ohio
state Journal. The Westerman car.
toona are always interesting and
original.
From a business standpoint the
Ohio State Journal is a necessity to
the farmer. The Grain. Live Stock
and Produce Market reports guide
him in buying and selling. The i'm.
DOrtance OF daily correct reports IL
realized by the management OF the
ohio State Journal. Two pages are
devoted to the bond and stock mar.
ket quotations, affording an OppOr.
tunity to closely follow investments
Under the terms of the Annual
Bargain Offer, now in effect, the
price will be four dollars for one
years subscription. Those desiring
the Ohio State Journal and Ohio
Farmer, or the Ohio State Journal

from this
came the name Of the state. A
nickname for the state ie the
Blackwater State.
OF the early Spanish explora-
tions little Is known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain Of this region In 1641.
More than one hundred and
twenty-five years later Father
Marquette noted the Platte river
on his trip up the Missouri. In
the beginning Of the Nineteenth
century the Lewis and Clark ex-
pedition skirted the boundaries
Of the present state and in 1905.
Manuel Lisa established the
first known settlement which was
a fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
into United States territory.
Omaha was established as a
post Of the American Fur COM
pany in 1925 and Nebraska City
the following year.
With the California gold rush
in 1849 many pioneers passed
through Nebraska and some
stopped and settled there al
though there was a law forbid
ding settlements among the In
dians. The real colonization
boom, however, started with the
passing of the Kansas-Nebraska
act in 1854, which arranged that
these two sections should become
free or slave states at the die
tate of their inhabitants. The
Nebraska territory was then or
ganized and reached from the
fortieth to the forty-ninth paral-
lei. In 1851, the region north
Of 43 was made into Dakota
territory. The Idaho territory
was also created, which re-
duced Nebraska to its present
size of 1880 square miles, ex-
cept for a slight addition IN the
Northwest which was made In
1882.
In 1867 Nebraska was admit
ted as the 37th state over the
presidents veto. 1t has eight
presidential electors.
