STATE CAPITAL HEWS State Engineer FlmU Thai l"rim on Bridge Construction 'ary In Different Counties Llncoin, Nebr., Auk. t& Insur ance Commissioner Kaataam, al though a new roan In his department, la showing himself no small colector, having in one day in the past week .taken In f 2,380 from the foreign In surance companies doing business in Nebraska. This is a two per cent li cense tax on the business transacted In the slate. That the prices paid by different counties for bridge work vary vastly ( Is shown by statistics being compiled ' by State Engineer oJhnson. For in stance, In Hall county the lowest bid , on a bridge of a certain alse was 117.60 per lineal foot, while in Dix on county the lowest bid on the same kind of bridge was 137.09. . Trior to the passage of the Smith uniform bridge plans law by the legislature of 1918. there was no way of making a. comparison of the cost of bridges. Under the provisions of this law the cost must be reported to the state en gineer, where the figures are availa ble for Inspection by any cltlxen of . the state. That the law has Improv ed conditions there is no question,! tout why there should be so great a .difference in prices is not apparent on the surface. If more of the conu- 4y commissioners of the state sould Avail themselves of the Information : .that may now be obtained from the I englneer's office It would doubtless Jesuit to the decided advantage of their counties In the matter of bridge contract letting. That the state of Nebraska has not I been .securing what It should from leases on its common school lands, Hhaaiheen an open question for some , time, and a few days since an expert made an examination of the matter and his report gives the following figures: There was 1,635,661 acres. of Nebraska school land under lease . November 30, 1914, according to the J land commissioner's report and the - rental on these lands for the biennl- um cloning on the same date amount ed to 8343,373. These lands are lo- cated in eighty-four counties and with a fair average value as returned .by the various county assessors ' would show a valuation of more than ,113.000.000. At a six por cent rent al .this valuation would produce an income for the common school fund; of more than 81,600,000 each bien nlum, this being more than four.C. times the amount brought into the atate treasury in the lant blennlum. As a sample of the rental on these leases we give the following figures .fathered st random: , Adams county, 80 acres, 872; , Cherry county 640 acres. 89.60; Gage' county, 160 acres, 8104.- 40; Hitchcock county, 320 ac res, 848; Jefferson county, 120 . flerai - tRft - Y.nnnnatar muntv 160 acres, 8115.20; Sheridan county, three sections. 8144; V Webster county. 80 aores. 860; Wheeler county, 160 acres, , 823.40) York county, 80 acres, 867.86.

GOOD CHEER People In Ilox Butte County Don't Need to Pay Any Attention to Catastrophic Here Is a mighty fine fact that your own mental review of the world's news the past few weeks will verify: The best news and the most hopeful news of the world the news that everybody likes to hear best has come out of the territory sur rounding Box Butte county. The news la the story of big crops of confident business news unspoiled by any bad happenings. Take all these depressing stories we have been reading lately they have all missed- this favored terri tory. The war, the gulf storm, the St. Louis floods and hurricane, the Georgia mob, the Eastland and Ar abic disasters they've all made the general run of news pretty tragic. But Box Butte county and those states around it can turn from It to all the good cheer at home. Here's the biggest wheat crop that this part of the country has ever raised. Here's a corn crop that, taken by and large tnrougbout the Box Butte territory, Is bard to beat. The cattle Industry has never before been as solidly good based as it is this season on the greatest of hay crops and the best of s II record pasture. In forage crops this part of the country has raised a phenomenal yield. The producing area has been extended beyond any former limits. Naturally every bank and business house in western Nebraska have felt this stimulus, and all will share in the abundant prosperity which Is al ready started. Every farmer, every rancher, and every citizen will be benefitted. And this prosperity is based on the surest of all foundations agricul tural prosperity.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT To the Republican Voters of Nebraska: After mature consideration I have concluded to ask for the republican nomination for Governor of the State of Nebraska. I have always been a progressive republican, and I believe in the prin ciples and policies of men like Sen ator George W. Norris. I believe in a better enforcement and mor respect for the laws of the state and nation. I favor rigid retrenchment and re form In the expenditure of public money and am opposed to the in crease or continuance of useless hoards and tax-eating commissions. I expect to discuss fully and frank ly in this campaign the details of all Issues that affect the welfare of the people of this state. I am opposed to the American sa loon, because a great majority of the saloon keepers join hands with gam blers, the underworld, and all other law-breakers in the controlling of elections and the debauching of pub lic ofilcials. The brewers and liquor dealers have elected a majority of the city officials of Omaha for years, and their work along the same line is aeen throughout the state. So long as they exiBt they will stand in the way of all reform or progress in Nebraska. Therefore, in the coming contest I will favor and support the proposed constitutional amendment to abolish the saloon in this state. A. L. SUTTON. Omaha. Nebr.

THE AMERICAN TCOACCOCO. Over 90 per cent of Business Men Fail Men fail in business because they do not know the game. They lack system and a thorough knowledge of their business. The reason why so many would-be farmers fail is because they know little or nothing of the science ef farming They think anybody can farm and then are surprised to find that their crops will not grow. The farmer who is always behind, who always has bad luck with his crops, i the man who farms by guess and trusts to luck. . If he were ia the mercantile business he would be in the hands- of a receiver within a year. He is a failure but he hangs on because the poorest farmer can get a living out of the land if he only plows and sows the seed. An Agricultural Education The first thing a young. man who intends to go into busi ness should do is to take a course ia a business college. Here he can become familiar with the first principles of "business, without which he will fail. The first thing a man who expects to farm should do is to take a course in an agricultural college, if he can, but if he has not the time or the money to spend in a two-year course, he can get the same instruction at home by taking a course in the Campbell Correspondence School of Soil Culture. Everything is furnished books and all at a very slight cost, and the best thing about it, he does not have to leave the farm or his work. He Can choose from the following courses : . Soil Improvement Course Cereal Culture Course Horticultural Course Dry Farming Course $mall Farming Course Farm Engineering Course 80U Tillage Course Summer is the time to study agriculture, and the farm and garden is the laboratory in which to work out the problems. Don't wait for fall or winter to begin, but get bsuy now. You will learn more in one summer applying your instruction in the fields than in a dozen winters sitting by the fire.
