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,

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,

never comes Into the character, never
shows In the face, of a man who has

Official Quarantine Regulation
Dr. H. H. Bellwood,
Alliance, Nebr.
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.

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.
