A campiilun against the potato dl
rasps of Dux Dutte county, and a
campaign for more silos was inado.
Boys and girls' club work was estab
lished for the first time this year.
The Farm Kecord Survey work hii
been started and when complete will
present something that will be exact
and of great Interest and material
leno(H to the successful farmer of
Box Putte county. A county-wide
oat smut survey lias been made, the
Tesults of which will be given from
time to time. A Junior Agricultural
Observation tour was made for the
boys cf the county. A Farmers' Kx
change has been establUhed by the
-association. The association has giv
en support to different things tend
ing to make Box Butte county better
to live in, and wishes to acknowledge
the support and cooperation it has
received from farmer coperators and
business men who have shown an in
terest In the work. A week of farm
ers' institute is to be held throughout
the county, the week of October 25
30. A live stock and forage cam
palgn Is also planned for the fall.
The results of demonstrations are to
be secured and distributed to the
fanners, along with many other
things of Interest and value.
Crop demonstrations require the
greater part of the time In this year's
work. Especial emphasis has been
placed on potato demonstrations. In
this work a comparison is being
made of dry rot, Infected and clean
seed, treated and untreated potatoes,
whole and cut, and northern and
home grown seed potatoes on the
bushel-per-acre baals. A high yield
ing northern variety of corn la being
compared to the native corn on the
basis of forage and yield of grain per
acre. The success of Feterita and
Sudaa as producer of forage In oth
er places has caused a great deal of
interest ameag- Box Butte farmers,
and - has warranted a trial of the
same under our conditions. One im
portant part of forage crop demon
stration Is the comparison of Inocu
lated and unlnoculated alfalfa, and
the determination of the adaptabili
ty and value of sweet clover as a pas
ture and hay crop. Most silo own
ers are cooperating In determining
the value of the silo under our con
ditions. In oat smut demonstrations
a part was treated for smut and part
left untreated to compare as to yield
per acre and percentage of smut.
Members have been secured in the
boys' and girls' club work in the po
tato, pig, garden, sewing and cook
ing clubs.

WORK DONE BY MISSION
Il'Mrt of Work lon by Sujx-rln-teitdent
of City MImmIoii
Klnce May 1
After Mrs. Sharp's election to the
superlntendency of the City Mission
by the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, she received an appoint
ment as probation officer from Judge
Vestover and shortly after took oath
of office as police matron. These two
positions have opened up many lines
of work and given varied opportun
ities for service as well as adding to
lier responsibilities. In her minis
tration of charity she has received
material aid from the mayor, for
which she is duly grateful.
Following Is a resume of work
clone by her since May 1, the date of
the opening of the mission:
A lady and child stranded at the
depot at time of the carnival, sup
plied with money for food and lodg
ing by the city, which was spent at
the Ferris wheel and inerry-go-round.
Cared for at the city mission
until sent home by the county.
A sixteen-year-old girl with ticket
thru to Mullen but without money or
lunch; compelled to wait 24 hours
or her train; discovered weeping In
the depot; cared for at the mission
nd sent happily on her way.
An ex-Confederate soldier slrsiiti
ed at the depot; set adrift by daugh
ter and son-in-law; provided with
lothlng thru kindness of K. (.
"La ing and Mrs. Blgnell; provided
"Willi a bed at the city hall and with
'.meals by the police matron. Mr.
2alng also assisted in procuring a
ticket for him to Hot Springs, where
lie would enter the National Kanitai
dum. An Italian girl rescued from a
"white slaver. The facts of this case
Siave already been made public.
A man appeared at the mission
nd asked for food for himself, wife
nd eight children; the case was in
vestigated and found worthy of help;
groceries were procured with the
missionary's private money, which

was afterward refunded with grati
tude for the loan. The husband and
father is now working in a distant
city and the missionary has th over
sight of the remaining members of
Hie family.
A lady with a ten-iuonthB-old ba
by came In on the Denver train ex
pectlng to go west on belated 43. The
Child was ill, threatened with con
vulsions. Thru the police matron's
friendly offices, the physician for the
C. B. & Q. attended the case and the
nervous and care-worn mother de
parted with a quieted and sleeping
chill.
A mun. with wife and son were
traveling from the coast to an east
em city; stopped over a day in Alli
ance; the man fell In with some
would-be friends and before evening
became quite hilarious, then decided
to "sleep it off" beside the humiliat
ed wife and son at the depot. Here
Mrs. Sharp found them and thru her
efforts the friends (?) were com
pelled to keep their distance, tho
threats and cursings were her re
ward. The party was seen safely
aboard their train at midnight.
A young lady traveling alone came
in on the Denver train, expecting to
go e:tst on 44; on account of deaf
ness did not hear the train called.
Cared for at the mission rooms until
the midnight train.
An aged lady arrived on the mid
night train and was not met by rela
tives as expected. Mrs. Sharp shar
ed her rooms with her until morning
when the lady's relatives who lived
in the country were notified by tele
phone of her arrival.
The case of a fifteen-year-old
homeless, wayward, orphan girl try
Ing to mako her own way, has been
carefully watched the past several
weeks and culminated this week In
the relinquishment of his legal rights
by the guardian, who lives many
miles from Alliance and the placing
of the girl with the Nebraska Child
ren's Home-Finding Society, the dir
ectors of which Institution will regu
late the details of her life and give
her every possible chance for the de
velopment of a uoble Christian char
acter. Much time has been devoted to
what la properly termed lescue work.
On two occasions the missionary has
received midnight calls for assist
ance. She frequently gives advice to
thoughtless and wayward young peo
! pie and counsels w ith anxious or dot
jing parents. Her services were re
quired at the time of the raid on the
Harbottle house, she having charge
of the hat, also of the child living
there, during the trial.
Invaluable service has been ren
dered In cases of sickness where suit
able help could not be obtained, she
having spent many hours nursing,
sewing, and doing innumerable small
duties which are so necessary and so
greatly appreciated In times of sick
ness. She has made twelve calls In re
sponse to Invitations to offer sympa
thy and relief.
, .The young people's societies are
considering the establishment of. a
night school, thru her Investigation.

A Warm (hie
Tuesday afternoon the Herald's
"Forest Lumber Company" therm
ometer stood with the mercury- right
at the hundred mark. Many people
stopped and read the thermometer,
and they seemed to get much warm
er right away. Most people thought
it must be near 90, but when they
found it was 100 in the shade they
wilted and decided in unison that
Tuesday was the hotteBt day they ev
er experienced. Isn't It queer what
a glance at a thermometer will do on
a hot day?

F. W. Boyd, formerly of Scotts

same room with the Manewal bakery,
and will Boon be ready for business.
The new cafe will be known as the
"Itallroad Restaurant", and a large
sign to this effect has been erected
In front of the building. Mr. Boyd
comes to Alliance recommended as a
thorough gentleman and business
man, and he will doubtless get his
share of the business. The remaind
er of his supplies will probably reach
here from Chicago the latter part of
this week and the restaurant will be
opened to the public the first of next
week.
