The committee will maintain head quarters at the Rome hotel in Oma ha during the conference. A com plete, comprehensive and detailed report with recommendations will be filed by the committee, most of whom will be in Omaha to attend the meeting. Chairman Thomas has been cover ing western Nebraska during the past week by auto, gathering statis tics to be used In the report. The members of the committee selected by him are considered the best post ed in their districts. The reports filed will show that the potato acre age planted this year will exceed that of 1916 by 20 per cent. Thousands of acres of beans are being planted this year, as compared with very few previous years. Most of the beans are beiug planted In ground being broken for the first time this spring. A serious shortage exists in the seed potato supply and more would be planted if seed could be secured. Value of Work. Idleness standing In the midst of uiwittempted tasks is always tending to humility. Work touches the kojra f endless activity, opens the infinite, :tn! stands awestruck before the Im mensity of what there is to do. I uin sure we all know the fine, calm, sober humbleness of men who have tried themselves ugalnst the tasks of life. It was great in Paul, and In Luther, mid In Cromwell. It Is something that never comes Into the character, never shows In the face, of a man who has uot worked. Phillips Brooks. Campaign Slogans.

Dear Doctor: The rules governing scarlet fever arc twenty-one days as the minimum quarantine, provided desquamation has ceased and all discharges are cleared up. This is left to the discretion of the health officer. All eases that have been exposed to the disease are held in quarantine and isolation for seven days before being permit ted to mingle with others and then only after a thorough antiseptic bath and fumigation. Do not lax from these rules in the least ; either in mild or severe eases. H. B. CUNNING, M. D. Sec. State Board of Health. TO THE PUBLIC : It is the hope of the city health department that these rules will be carefully obgsei ved and it is the intention of the board ot health to see that they are observed. The co-operation of persons under quarantine will be of material assistance and will make the enforcement of the law less objectionable. DR. H. H. BELLWOOD, City Physician. Every Boy and Girl Should Have a Garden Alice Schill, Club Member, Won State Contest Last Year Hundreds of Nebraska boys and girls are going to shoulder the boe In place of the gun during these strenuous times, for although they are too young for military service they are old enough to seek to ex press their patriotism In a tangible way 111 the home and school garden clubs with which they have affiliat ed themselves. Roys and girls, it has been demonstrated, can produce much of the food required for fam ily use, thereby releasing the com mercial products of the country for the needs of the people In the large cities, for the army of the United States and for the allied countries. Furthermore, since available labor is likely to be one of the limiting fac tors in increasing the production of the nation, the use of boys for pro ductive work will be economically valuable. The older boys will be called upon for farm work, but this still leaves the large number of younger boys and all the girls. Girls have won the state contest for the past three years. In Nebraska last year 2.2.22 boys and girls in twejity-five towns took part in the home Bchool gardening projeet conducted under the direc tion of the agricultural extension service. As the result of their work lift back yards and 34 5 vacant lots grew gardens. The total receipts from these gardens was nearly $12. 000 in addition to about $2,000 worth of canned products. This year more than 5,000 children are expected to take part in home-school gardens in 4 5 towns that have taken up the work. In Alliance last year about 12 5 boys and girls enrolled I for garden club work and about 40 completed the work in all its details. The greater number that started, however, grew gardens the superior of which was never seen in Alliance before. It is expected that the en rollment in Alliance this year will be three times what it was last year. Alice Schill won the Box Butte county and the state contest ou the results obtained from her garden. I grown south of Alliance. It must be remembered that she had very strenuous competition from over 2, , 000 club members. She has 336 square feet of gardeu and grew rad- ishes, beets, beans and tomatoes. Her total receipts from the garden total 'ed $10.41. Her expenses including I seed, equipment, rent, and labor I amounted to $1.75, making a profit I of $8.t6. When these figures are transferred to an acre basis, the to tal receipts per acre would be $1,- 42.89. expenses $225.75, making u clear profit of $1,117.14 per acre. Boys and girls who wish to join any line of club work should make application to their teacher, the county agent, or the county superin tendent. Parental sympathy and assistance is absolutely esseutial to club work. The trophy won by Alice Schill. which was awarded by the Nebraska Farm Journal, has been presented to her and is now on exhibition in the show window at Holsten's drug and Jewelry Btore. It Is a beautiful tro phy and one that she will be proud to own and exhibit in the years to come. It is a reward for achieve ment, an acknowledgement of things done better. HAlMtON i ; m 1 .
