OF THE DRY BILL ABOUT READY FOR HOUSE (Continued from page 1) noon to allow members more time In which to got their bills la shapo for Introduction. Up-to-dato thero havo been 402 introduced In tho House and 152 In the Senate. It is expected that tho total number Introduced will exceed 1.000. A total of 1064 were Introduced two years ago 757 In the House and 297 In the Sen ate. Friday morning's session was the stormiest Bluco tho House convened four weeks ago. Tho trouble start ed over Houne U0U No. 67, Introduced by Greeuwalt of Custor, to relieve railroad companies from operating exclusive passenger trains on branch lines constructed In the future, un til their net eurnlngB reach 7 per cent. The western Nebraska repre sentatives contendod that the east ern members, in opposing the bill, were endeavoring to keep the west ern end of the state from netting much needed additional branch lines. The tr0uble was finally ended by amending the bill bo that the word ing was plainer and was sottled with apologies between members. The speaker finally brought forth a gale of laughter by uaklag, "Are there any more metuboi who wUU to apologue?" WJA1AN COUNTY AGENT NOW Representative Norton proposes to Bubmlt a constitutional amend ment to the people, giving them an opportunity to say whether or not their legislative body shall consist of only one body, to consist of sixty members. in the measure for a unicameral legislature, It Is specified that the stato shall be divided Into sixty dis tricts, one member to bo elected from each. This would mean dividing the i.nii. of Lincoln and Oma a into leg lslativo districts, instead of having ih ijincoBter and Douglas county members elected at large. No change is made In the quallfl ..i.r.. .IiiHph. compensation or privileges of members. The lieutenant governor will preside over the one chamber, as ho does now over xeliate.

This is but one way in which the woman county agent works. Madison county Is also to have a woman county agent. To Dt'temilno Work Just what phase of the work will be taken up first in Uox Butte, Sher ldnn and Dawes counties will prob ably be decided by the women inter ested. There will be Instruction In cooking, gardening, sewing, poultry raising, methods of selling, etc. Probably some one from the univer sity will be sent here to teach women to drive automobiles. It Is a fact that while there are many automo biles In this section, the number of women who can run one Is very small. It Is desired that as many as possible be able to drive a car at least a few mlleB, far enough to be able to attend the community meet ings which wl'l bo held.

She will also be In constant touch with the experts In the otllce of Home Economics, which Is the authoritative source of subject matter in this line, as far as the State's Relations Service Is concern ed. Other bureaus of the depart ment of agriculture and various gov ernment agencies will furnish useful material for the extension work among farm women. It Is expected that the woman county agent appointed to serve Box Butte, Sheridan and Dawes counties, whether Miss Ilokhar or someone else, will meet with a ready response on the part of the farm women of hese counties and that mucn gooa will come from tho meetings to be held this coming summer.

LEfiSON TKXT-John :1-18. GOLDEN TEXT-I'or God so loved ths world, that he (rave lila only begotten son, that whosoever belle vet h in hltn, should rot perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:18. This most famous Interview la his tory occurred probubly In some room in Jerusalem where Jesus was a guest, n room reached by on outer stairway o that he could receive visitors pri vately. I. The Teacher of the Jews (vv. 1, ). Nlcodemus was a member of the sanhedrln (Ch. 7:50). He belonged to the I'harlsees who were much devoted to the scriptures, and In whose hand the political nffalrs were largely placed by the Roinuns. There are sev eral reasons why Nlcodemus came to Jesus by night. I'rudence dictated se crecy, but thnt he came at all was en couraging. He was more apt to find Jesus at home in the evening. He had much that he wished to learn, and needed a quiet hour, removed from the crowd. The things thut Jesus had done and taught made Nlcodemus think that Jesus might be the Mes- I nh. Nlcodemus wanted to know how to be blessed or happy. II. A Teacher From God (vv. 3-8). A great majority of the disciples of Jesus enme from the common people (I Cor. 1:2C) yet for all classes he had the same message, "Ye must be lrn again." The unswer of Jesus was according to the condition of the man before him. the deepest need of his soul. Literally, he said, "Most as suredly, except a man (anyone) be born again (anew or from above) he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." To be born anew means to be horn nln. It matters not what your pnr- entnri may have been. If any man could do without n new birth, Nlco demus was thnt man. lie was moral, liglons and slncei-p. The Instrument through which this birth is effectlvo is the word of God (I Peter 1:23 J .Tames 1:1S: John 15:.'?) and the au thor is the Holy Spirit (v. 5: Titus 5). Water is a symbol of tho word CHph. 5:20). Llternlly translated, till pnssnge would rend. "Except one he born of wnter nnd wind." And ns v ind "by universal consent refers to etie factor In regeneration, the Spirit, so the wnter manifestly refers to the other element of regeneration, the word." The main contention Is that the word Is the Instrument In the re generation. Although not expressly mentioned here. It Is elsewhere, Nlcodemus was a teacher of Israel (v, 10 It. V.) nnd yet he did not know so fundamental n truth ns th new birth. though the Old Testament taught it. III. The Pupil's Difficulty (vv. 0-13). The works of the flesh as contrasted vith the inuts or the Spirit ore brought out In the Epistles, yet, like Nlcodemus, people are asking today, "How can these things be?" Jesus challenges Nlcodemus with the word, "Art thou a teacher of Israel and tin derstandest not these things?" What Jesus said to Nlcodemus (vv. 11-13) Is true of the scriptures now, especial ly of the New Testament. They tes tify to the facts which Jesus knew r.nd revealed, he having been In heaven, and come down from heaven for the purpose of making th?ra known.

We are always glad to get Tho Alliance Herald, for each week It gives us some news of tho country and people that we lived so long among. Twenty-five years, from 1885 to 1910, we lived there. We have lived here six years and like our new home and tho people, out there Is hardly ever a day that we do not think of our old home and our old friends. Am glad to hear of the success the farmers are having with the stock, dairy and potato business the past year. The dairy business is the best business in the Salt River Valley. Fat cattle are selling high hero now, $8.50 for top steers. We are paying frosty nights here this winter thaa In years. It has damaged the or ange trees some and it froze the growing grain so that feed for stock Is scarce and high. Alfalfa hay baa been selling for $20 per ton, but ia less now as some of the grain fields are ready to pasture. We havo had a good deal of rain the past month which makes It hard for the dairy men and motor truck drivers that gather the milk and cream. Our people are very much excited over two things at this time. One la, who is going to be governor, Hunt or Campbell. The other ia about cot ton. Some of the cotton raisers are paying as high as $20 rent per acre for land this year. Besides, they ! buy the water to raise the crop, which will be about $1.75 per acre. There Is more land changing hands i here than In several years, but not at so much per acre as five years ago. Yours truly, A. S. REED. The Alliance Herald Is $1.50 per year. Issued 52 times.
