DEMONSTRATED SILOS TWO DAYS Monday and Tuesday KHnt tveriug County by Expert, Farmer and llunlnrMn Men That the ranchmen and farmers of Sox Butt county are deeply inter ested in the alio proposition was clearly shown on Monday and Tues day of this week when the county was thoroughly covered by the first lie demonstration trip ever under taken here, under the auspices of the Alliance Commercial Club. Those from out of the county who participated In the trip were Prof. W. C. Andreas, of the Nebraska EUte University, E. Z. Russell, as sociate editor of the Twentieth Cen tary Farmer, of Omaha, J. B. Lamp 099 of the Burlington railroad agri csltural department, C. 8. Hawk, the arm demonstrator for Dawes coun ty, and F. W. Crane of Pawnee City. The program at the different farms visited was nearly the same, although all questions asked were felly answered and a general dls casslon was Indulged In at each place for the benefit of those who came in. Those who furnished cars on the 4rst trip were Messrs. Spencer, Har ris, Newberry, Schill, Burns, Tash, Hampton, Norton, Blair, Guthrie, Caghagan, Panwitz, Gregg, Kibble, TJaahman, Bauer and Brandt. Nearly oae hundred people went along on each' trip. In his talks Mr. Andreas said, "The real purpose of this trip Is to promote Interest in the construction of more silos. What Box Butte county needs more than anything else Is more silos on the farm be cause we are not assured of a crop Always on account of lack of mola tare, so we must conserve what we raise. The silo Is not an experi ment." Mr. Chase said in bis talks, "It Is Itet a Question of whether or not I can afford to build a silo, but rather can I afford to be without one. For talrylng and fattening cattle, horses er sheep, the farmer cannot afford so be without a silo. The kind of a silo is for each farmer to decide for himself. The pit silo is the cheap est. In the long run the wood silo la the most expensive as it Is not so darable, may blow down, will dry -at and requires more care. Less equipment is required for the pit si lo. The roof for a silo is not neces sary but always advisable. Silage, la be the best, must be used off from each day from one and one-half to two Inches during the winter, and three to four Inches during the sum mer." Conclusions from the trip are that Holsteln cattle are best adapted for western Nebraska on account of tbelr large site and big food capacity. THE HIGHBROW RECOMMENDA TIONS. Tha eammiaalen wnanlmaualv and tm Ihaticallr makaa tha following rcom-tondatlonti 1 That tha ollev of eoncantratlon upon tha farm campus bo adopted and tit into offoet In auch a war to mini ma tho inconvenlanooa and aconomte taadvantagat Incldant to such a changt. Evidently there is but one way to minimize the conveniences and eco nomic disadvantage- incident to such a change," and that is to have enough money to accomplish the change in not to exceed four or five years. And to have enough money to make the change in that time, means a special tax levy f not less than two or three mills per year during the transition period. 2 Tha commiaaion urges tha immedi ate purchase of as much land contiguous to the preaent farm alto as cart be secured on reasonable terms. Evidently recognizing the fact that there is not room enough on the 320 acres of the state farm for both the uni versity and the school of agriculture. Land contiguous to the present farm' campus" is now covered with dwelling houses and other buildings, and is not' to be had on much more "reasonable' terms" than the six city blocks adjoining the city campus. Besides this recom mendation is no part of the issues raised' by House Roll 345 upon which the ref erendum will be taken in November. 1 The commiaaion uraee tho purchase of additional farming land aa cloee to thei preeent farm eampua aa tha eondltlona permit. An aggregate minimum of S40, acres available for farm purposes la deemed by the commiaaion aa abaolutely1 eaientlal to meet the neede of tho great gncunurai aiate or neoraaxa. ihe hrst part ot this recommenda- ion is worthy of serious consideration by the next legislature. The state now rents about 100 acres for carrying on ag ricultural experiments, and really ought to own every acre needed to make the, gricultural school a greater power for ood. And it 640 acres available for farm purposes" is the very least we hould have to attain the best results. why, in the name of common sense, re duce the amount available by moving the university colleges out there?

"After readlna the resort of commiaaion of college preeldenta, and noting that the smallest campus area auoted Is Purdue with fifty aorea, I am puzzled to know why you xninn max neorasKa neeaa only mir ty-nlne. Moat of tho preaent buildings are badly In need of repairing I under stand that University Hall haa practical ly been condemned. Aa tha old brick and materlala could be uaed In the construct ing of new buildings on tha new eampua. It aeema to me that there could not be great loss there." Miss Elizabeth Bran zer, umana, Class of 04. xou ssy that most of the oresent buildings are in need of repairing.' That is a condition that often happens in buildings which are practically new, and it is not unthinkable that if the uni versity were located at the state farm ou might be able to make the same statement. If the present buildings are badly in need of repair, then it simplyi means that either the legislature or the board of regents have been negli gent. ... The facts about University Hall are substantially as follows: It was built in 1870, and the style of architecture which was then in vogue is now considered quite antique. Those who are qualified to pass upon such matters assure me that it is a good, substantial building and would stand for fifty years longer t its old-fashioned architecture does not cause it to be torn down and replaced by a more modern building. The problem of moving from the present campus to the farm is not quite so simple as it would be for the child with building blocks to tear down the toy structures in the back yard and place them upon the front lawn. The old brick and materials in the buildings on the present campus would be of little use in constructing new buildings on the new campus. The removalists do not lor a moment contemplate anv such plan. It would be quite out of harmony with the plan of building an ideal uni versity at the state farm. If removal should carry, it would be necessary to erect every new buildms there of the best materials and according to the lat est ideas of building construction. The buildings on the present campus would be of no value whatever in building uo an ideal university at the state farm. Refty by Untverstty Horn Campus tension Committee, ... . 80ME REMOVAL FIGURES. The chief architect of the university says that if we are to replace upon the farm or elsewhere the same floor space now in use upon the city campus, it will cost $1,100,000. These fifteen buildings on the city campus are now in use, and, as I have suggested, are serving over three thousand students. If we are to remove, it seems to me a fair estimate of the value to the state of these fifteen buildings is what it will cost to replace them elsewhere. It is estimated by the university archi tect that it will cost a little over $39,000 to move the fixtures and equipment of the university to the farm. Ihe value placed by him upon the conduits, tun nets, sidewalks, fence, and heating plant. when measured from the point of cost of replacing at the farm is $42,000. The loss in equipment in the different build ings, which would be ruined by removal or which could not be removed at all, is $60,000. In other words, if removal carries this fall, the taxpayers of the state will have to pay out of the three-fourths of a mill levy, $1,240,000 before they furnish the students and faculty of the university the same accompodations that they are now enjoying upon the city campus. E. M. Pollard, '93. Nebraska Statt Journal. INJURED BY REMOVAL. I am of the opinion, and I speak as a farmer who has kept in close touch with the school of agriculture, that the great work it has done and is dome in build. ing up agriculture in Nebraska will be greatly crippled, if not destroyed, in case removal carries: and this regard less of whether one-fourth mill of the three-fourths mill levy is used for the erection of buildings for the accommo dation of the agricultural wing of the university or not You can not mix hiKfi school students with college stu dents any more thap you can mix oil with water. . The placing of three thousand colics students upon the farm campus with five hundred high school boys can have noth ing but a disastrous effect. Not only this, but von virtually destroy the farm for experimental and farm purposes. E. M. Pollard, '93, in Nebraska Stat Journal. AT THE CHURCHES Sunday, August 2 BAPTIST CHURCH 10:00 a. m.

June 15, 1914. 34-2t-472-3859 OLD HICKORY CHIPS Huerta did not salute the flag. He ducked under it. Compelling the men who are re sponsible for the New Haven plund ering to return it would be a start ling innovation. Running for the United States sen ate is the one way for a man to dem onstrate that this Is a free country. There is to be no cuff on the trouser leg next year. Thus the pen dulum swings back to the Bimple life. Any lawyer who Is not mentioned as the late Justice Lurton's success or may count himself of small im portance in his community. Kansas farmers are giving fetes in order to keep the boys in the coun try. Improving the old fashioned cookery would also help. Let us hope that Chicago Alder- manic Junketers will not buy the Ho tel deVille in Paris or the Nelson monument in London. "With the rash courage that has ever characterised him, that valiant ink fighter, Felix Diaz, has again Droken into print. Again the Mexican Junta works are beginning to work overtime. Next international crisis will please step Into the consulting room. Now Is the time for Carranza to display wisdom to match his patriar chal whiskers. Huerta resigned with all the dig nity and sangfroid of a man arising from a hot stove. Gentlemen who loaned much mon ey to Huerta are now entitled to run off a few reels of worry. It is generally understood that Carranza Is to become president of Mexico, and let us hope that the people of that unhappy country will find whiskers rule better than whis key rule. The prettiest girl In the world has just landed in New York, says the World. She has not done any such thing. She is right here. We talked with her last night. A man who saved a Missouri girl from drowning was so badly beaten by her in the struggle that he was forced to go' to a hospital for treat ment. It is understood that he won't marry her this time. Rudyard Kipling was announced as a candidate fo ra seat in Parlia ment. This looks like waving a red flag in the face of the suffragists with apoligies to and for the Bull. Carbajal started out to make him self unpopular before he had been ia office twenty-four hours. He closed all the gambling houses In the City of Mexico. A German physician says no face is physically perfect. Evidently this man never had a sweetheart. They ought to let Carbajal hold the Job as president of Mexico, untzl he can collect enough money for 'a . trip to Europe, too. We see by the papers that Mrs. Emmallne Pankhurst of London, is spending this week out of jail. There is not as much sympathy for the senate as there might be. Occasionally an aviator breaks a record, but more often they break their necks. The dictators who have gone froam this country to Europe would make an interesting and perhaps influen tial community if they were to colon ize. Well, if nobody else will say It we will: That fellow who promoted a gold mine on senate stationary had a lot of brass. - . . UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Cor. Laramie Ave. and 5th St. 10:00 a. m.

That's the service from which HUPMOBILK reputation springs; the service that has made the HUPMOBILK "The Car of the American Family." That's why HUP owners are our most successful salesmen. And Isn't that quality what you consider, first and last in any car? How will a lower price compensate you a year from now, for a worn, shabby down-at-the-heel car which you are forced to sell for a song 7 How will a natty exterior this Spring compensate you for a broken down exterior next Spring? Continuous service at a lower cost an da higher price when you want to sell at second hand that's what makes UUP owners loyal to the car. Think this over next Spring, think of the one hundred thousandth mile and not of the ten thousandth and your Investigation will surely bring you to the choice of the UUPMOIilLH. ROBT.
