Pure-Breds Do Pay
That pure-bred livestock is a safe, profit-bringing
investment for any farmer has long been
the conviction and the message of the great
national weekly of farm progress,
73fe COUNTRY
GENTLEMAN
In a widely discussed recent series it pointed
out, with merciless publicity, dangerous evil
practices among certain breeders and distribu
tors of pure-breds. Next week in a constructive
article, it tells the general farmer how, in spite
of these practices, he can profitably stock up
with pure-breds NOW.
William Johnson writes the
story. For several months lie
has been traveling all about the
country, interviewing leading
breeders and livestock farmers
and gathering material for a
message that will be helpful to
everyone who raises animals.
His able, conetely suggestive
story deserves your attention.

Sioux City Journal, 4: The taste
of pavi.'ig in South Sioux City, Neb.,
has caused enthusiasm for good roads
in Dakota county, according to ad
'ices reaching Sioux City. Taxpay
ers of the county are anxious that
the mile and one-half highway be
tween Dakota City and South Sioux
City shall be graveled this summer
in ordsr to provide good roads for
the enormous traffic that daily runs
over the roadway. Recently citizens
sent a signed petition for such, a
highway to the stute engineer,, re
questing that the road be graveled.
No reply has been received from Lin
coln. Supporters of the move be
lieve the request will be granted.'
As the road is a state highway "the
graveling is under the sanction and
direction of the state. .. .After en
tering the Bridge grocery store in
South Sioux City Thursday night at
9 o'clock, and knocking J. Stengel,
proprietor, to the floor with the
butt of a revolver, two armed and

lias been found. The two men en

Strange That One Could 'Consider Art
and Work in the Same Category
Dy GILDEHT K. CHESTERTON, British Lecturer
What impresses ine most about the American people is their enthu
siasm for work. The Englishman's idea of work is a task by which he
may obtain something that will entitle him to rest and pleasure after that
task has been performed. Hut here work is looked upon as a sort of
romance. An American salesman said to me the other day,: "How shall
I improve my art of sale.-manship, Mr. Chesterton?" ltcnlly, 1 looked
at "the man in wonder. 1 1 seemed so strange that one could consider art
and work in the same category. Why, Americans make a poem out of
trade.
American newspapers, with their murder stories and so-called de
moralizing 8tmosphere, I like. To mc crime is the best sort of news.
There you have real human interest, truthfully put, just as it happens;
there is no secretive motie. If a man cuts his grandmother's throat with
a razor, you have a good story. The man is not boosting any special make
of razor, nor is he trying to create a slump in grandmothers. But in poli
tics there is evasion, the concealcdmolive.
The best way, I find, to learn the life and habits of a nation is to read
the detective stories written by authors of that country. 1 learn from
reading detective stories the police system of the country and the daily
life of the people in general, and also get an insight into their habits.
Prudent marriage? There is no such thing. The very act of tying
one's self to" another is not itself prudent. It is an adventure, like going
to war. There is a ridiculous modern chimera, to get rid of the tragedy
in sex, but you can never remove the tragic element. The tragedy of sex
is tho tragedy of the soul of man. .
I never could magine why the primitive man knocked down the prim
itive woman with a club. Why wae ijhe so averse? Why her natural deli
cacy? If the primitive man was so rude, why was the primitive woman
so retiring?
At the same time one of the robbers
struck Stengel on the head with tho
butt of his revolver, sending him to
the floor in a heap. The robbers
collected nil the loose changtj and
currency in sight and made n hur
ried flight. Stengel legaincd full
consciousness an instant later and
sent out a call for help, but by xhe
time that neighbors arrived the men
were put ot ight. the men .verfr
masked with -linen handkerchief- anTOf lh' boys who held hack at, all,
both carried revolvers. Mr. Stengel's
injuries from the blow were slight.
THE CUT 1VOK.H MOTH
(F'-ofn Farm Bureau News)
Many persons have wondered what
kind of moths or "millers" we have
been having in such great numbers
during the past few days. Specimens
for identification, were sent to the
State Entomologist. His reply fol
lows: "The moths are the adult stage of
the Western Cut-worm, (Euxoa auxil
iarris) which during April was very
numerous over most of Nebraska,
and in some localities did serious in
jury in wheat and alfalfa fields.
These worms had mostly entered the
pupa stage by May 1, and last week
the moths began emerging from these
pupae in considerable numbers. They
will continue coming out in increas
ing numbers for a week or more and
then btgin to decline in numbers.
By July 1 they will not be present in
conspicuous numbers.
"Some of them will survive through
tho summer, however, and in Septem
ber and October will lay their eggs
on the bare ground in the fields.
These will produce cut-worms that
will make considerable growth be
fore winter but will probably not do
any serious injury this fall. After
wintering as cut-worms they mny do
serious injury to the crops next
spring.'

(I'Yom Farm Bureau News)
Mr. M. B. Posson, Extension Am
mal Husbnndryman, write,: "Tin
draft horse shortage is going to be a
very serious problem to deal with
during the next few years. Mori
horses rre being used each year and
less colts being raised. Do jmi real
ize that, it Is impossible, today, t
find more than a few top geldings or
mares oi the farms in an county in
Nebraska? Too many good brood
mares are being used to produce
mule colts. When exchange condl
tions make it possible, the world war
area is going to call for thousands of
brood mures and draft horses. Mnn
exporters now have standing orders
that cannot bo filled. Wheie are we
going to get these horses? Farmers
units supply the demand.

The confirmation class and the
pastor had a fine time last week
at the church ovory day while we
wero at work with the sMuly. There
was not a boy who was not thoro ev
ory day, and on time. They were
usually playing ball when the pastor
arrived. There was not one of them
who wan thoro because ho bud to bo
there, It Ih parents sending him
against li Ih will. It Is u flue spirit
which was manifested all tho way
through. It speaks well 'or I ho
homes. Wo have alwuys said that
tho support which the woik of tho
church got In the home reflected
Itself Iti the young people, and
when wo muko u sucrlflce for the
work of tho church wo nro blessed
accordingly. Now what Is tho spirit
of tliono boys but tho working out
of this very thing. Our people are
very busy in tho fields, tho work
there demands attention, all tho la
bor wo cjin put there pays well right
now, a good number of our boys in
the class, would have been In the
field If they wore not making ready
tor confirmation. There was none
they had n cortain thing In mind
from the beginning, they made thorn
selves ready for it and finished in
their confirmation. This is aB it
should bo. This is Uio third time
wo have had tho class at tho close
of the school year, and the pastor
may say that ho thinks, nioro of the
plan to luivo the catechlzatlon at this
tlmo than any timo boforo.
On Sunday morning there was a
public recital of some things wo had
learned during tho week. ThlB was
an Innovation for overy one, piiBtor
Included. It was ono which was ap
preciated and enjoyed by tho ejn
gregatlon. Following this was tho
confirmation service. The confir
niants nro John and George Stalling,
Charles and John niacketer, Halph
and Irwin Bllvon, Lloyd Uartels,
Ralph Bartols, Kerrt Bartols, Charles
Beonnnnn, Frank Roost nnd George
Baugous, Ruby Lovlg and Francos
Lowo attended tho class each day,
Helen Philips two days, and Doris
Bartels ono day. Following this
service tho communion was distrib
uted. SIxty-flvo communed.
MarJorlo Ellon, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Win. Ostinoyor, and Jay
Elton, son of Mr. and Mrs, Ray
Aughey were baptised at tho begin
ning of the service hour.
It may bo Interesting to our poo
plo to know that during tho present
pastorate there have been fifty
throe confirmations, sixty-seven have
have been received .Into the church.
It will bo Ii.terestlng to know that
llioie are very few of tho young peo
ple who have been comin'g to the
Sunday school who have not been
catechized and confirmed. You 'an
count on the fingers of one hand
those who are old enough for this
training who have not had It, Tho
pastor has tried to Interest theso
also. Thoro have been twenty-eight
baptisms of children during this
time, and three adult baptisms.
Next Sunday morning will bo tho
Children's day exercises. Tho con
gregation will bring their dinner and
uftor tho program wo will eat in tho
church yard If the weather Is fit, If
not, dinner will bo served in tho ante
room of tho church In the usual Sa
lem stylo. Come and bring your
dinner. Part of the afternoon will
ho spent in neighborly visiting ap
propriate) to the duy. This Is a good
thing. When the Israelites wont up
to the temple to offer tholr sacrl
flros, a part of the program was a
feant. Why can wo not engago In a
quiet dinner together? We believe
In tho communion of the saints, let
us prove It by our association and
tho breaking or bread. This Is a flno
thing to hold our community togeth
er nnd make a good spirit to prevail.
