This hill was introduced by the editor of The Herald Represen tative Lloyd Thomas and several other members from the western end of the state. Sonic parties, on reading the tirsl draft of the hill, as Introduced and referred to the Judiciary Committee of the House, took snap JtldffRft nt without fully advising themselves as to the situ ation and set up a howl that was eagerly grabbed by politicians, who were seeking to make political capital out of the legislative session. One thiiiK was plainly apparent in the legislature- the same men in the House who were leading the right to kill the all-important and necessary sedition hill were the ones who sought to kill the mineral leasing or "potash" hill, as it was called. The mineral leasing hill went to the Judiciary committee, where public hearings were given. These hearings were attended by repre sentatives of all sides interested in the leasing of school lands. The result was that a hill was passed which is, undoubtedly, fair to all parties concerned, A copy of the hill, as ii passed both branches of the legislature, and as it was signed by the governor, is printed else where in The Herald this week. Interested parties should read it carefully. We are also publishing elsewhere in The Herald copies of corre spondence referring to the hill. This show our stand plainly on the matter and, as we stated in our letter, we have no apologies to offer for our action at any time as a member of the Nebraska legislature. Lack of space prevents us from publishing this week copies of other correspondence relating to the matter. This matter and some further Interesting sidelights on the potash situation will he published in later issues of The Herald. It is interesting to note thai "Bludy Hen," the "terrible one," who rules over the destinies of the Times, was ou1 again with his threats- this time it was with a tar huckel in one hand, a hunch of feathers in the other, and a brush probably that old whitewash brush, in his hippocket. The feathers were apparently fresh We concede to every man a right to his honest opinions We demand that the other man give us a right to our own honest opinions. The man who looks at things from a selfish viewpoint oftentimes for gets that there are two sides to every question, with the result that he begins to imagine himself the judge, the jury and the public. :o: SHOULD PLANT SPRING WHEAT K. L. Pierce, the Hemingford banker, urges that the farmers of Box Butte county plant a large acreage of spring wheat. We agree with Mr. Pierce and from present indications look for a larger acre age than ever before. It is, indeed, a regrettahle fact that after the huge potato crop of bust year it was impossible to get suflicient transportation facilities to handle the crop. This proved discouraging to the farmers who had made special efforts to cany out the requests of those interested in the production of foodstuffs. The result will he in Nebraska's "potato belt" this season that the acreage of potatoes will he much smaller. Mr. Pierce believes that sixty per cent of the wheat planted should he macaroni wheat. It stands hail well and if amber maca roni is planted, will sell for $2.10 per bushel, as against common macaroni which sells for g2.09 per bushel. There are two other VI rieties of wheat which yield better than macaroni and have a higher Hour value. Forty per cent should be planted to these rarities. There is plenty of seed wheat in the counly. :o: THE ENEMY WE MUST MEET By William Allen White (Mr. While, editor, author and King of the war and all of it ninny angles while) on an extended visit to the various battle linen ur the Allied armies.) Back of the Uermun lines every ounce of food is conserved, and dis tributed with fairly equitable pre cision; every yard of cloth Is num bered and is entered Into the war htrength of the empire. Every penny weight of German coal is handled with scientific care, and the one end and aim nf all this autocratic control of food and clothing and heat is the v inning of the war. There la no other purpose in the German mind. Every German mark is a German soldier; every grain of gold is doing its full share to work out that, indomitable purpose. Here in America we must realize that the war will not be won on any front, but In our own hearts. This Is a clash of civilizations. We must de- j velop in our hearts a democratic pur pose as strong and as carefully direct ed as this autocratic purpose of Ger many. We, too, must make soldiers i x ? ? ? ? 1 1 1 i 1 i X x Sell Your Cream at Home 0 UR PRICE IS THE SAME AS THE DELIVERED PRICE AT OMAHA, LINCOLN or GRAND ISLAND.

THIS SAVES TRANSPORTATION CHARGES if our corn stalks, make defenders of our wool and cotton and silk, make every pound of coal an American pound, and we must make bullets of our pennies. If we fail to develop this democratic purpose in the eye to eye. knee to knee, hand to hand, struggle on the front, which, after all, only reflects the strength of our convic tion, then our civilisation will go down. To fall to support our soldiers with ammunition, with food, with clothing, with coal, will weaken them for the great confllrt at the great mo ment, and that weakening will come from our hearts at home. It will come if we are slow with our finan cial support of the men. The Liberty Loan furnishes us with the only way we home s(a ers can prae'lrally show our purpose. Our patriotism will be Di ensured by our performance toward the Liberty Loan. What we lend to our country in this time of need will measure our love of the freedom our fathers bought. It is at stake. The autocratic purpose of Germany, iron willed and yet unbroken, aimed at world conquest is threatening ua. What is freedom worth to you? It is worth what you lend to your govern ment in this hour of its awful need. V t HELP THE GOVERNMENT prevent traffic congeston by marketing your produce at home.
