A while back Ole Buck and Old Man
Young were down in St. Joe, 1 don't
claim to know what for, but along
toward evening Duck got a headache
and went to hu room. Later Mr.
Young came in all keyed up to go to
some doings or other and wanted to
borrow Ole'a dress puit for the occa

collar button and asked Ole for his.
Ole said he didn't have any and Old
Man Young thought he was trying to
be mean eijti gave him a gootkeujfing.
Ole stood it as long as he could and
then got up and pulling the neck of
his pnjamas open, showed O. M. Y.
that he had a wart on the back of his
neck that he buttoned his collar onto
on the rare occasions when he wears
one. Apologies were in order. Ord

The Guernsey dam, assuring one
of the greatest power plants in the en
tire west and sufficient storage water
to bring under irrigation thousands of
acres of the finest agricultural land in
the nation, will no doubt be the next
project in Wyoming, was the theme of
an address delivered by Andrew Weiss,
project manager of the reclamation
service, before the Lions club Wednes-
i day. The new project will be under
taken just as soon as the money is
available in a sufficient amount to
justify beginning the undertaking, and
this condition is expected to be not
long delayed. With the construction
of this dam a source of power is to be
created that will not only furnish light
and power to all the towns in the
Platte valley, but will be sufficient to
operate electric railways that in ten
years might connect all the cities in
ths part of the country and bear the
produce from the farm. Lingle Re
view. Plans for immediate construction of
the state highway between Alliance
and Broadwater, to connect with the
Lincoln highway at Ogallala, were
outlined at a meeting of chamber of
commerce officials and a delegation of
fifteen good roads boosters from
Broadwater, says a dispatch from Alli
ance. The proposed route will run

There U one great reform that the
state of Nebraska needs and the long
felt should be iuppled by whatever
powers have that authority. Nebraska
needs a new coat of arms with which
to properly embellish the Great Seal
and one to which the humblest citizen
enn point with pride. The present de
vice is very inartistic and further
more it bears false witness against the
state. As nearly as can be stated in
I terms of heraldry, the present coat of
arms consists or a village oiacKsmun
rampant on a field of wheat; a side
wheel steamboat couchant upon mud
puddle and an emigrant train dormant
upon a jerkwater railroad. We have
often wondered what the artist's idea
l was in having his blacksmith move
his anvil out into the middle of a
wheat field and then picture him in
the act of striking while the iron is
hot with no forge in sight with which
to heat it. We need a new coat of
arms. Let the boast of heraldry assert
itself and let us have a coat of arms
of which we can all lie proud and that
will be a thing of beauty and a joy
for all to come. Allan D. May in the
Auburn Republican.

We append herewith the reply of
the Hon. G. M. Hitchcock, U. S. sen
ator from Nebraska, concerning the
disarmament program in which so
many of you have signified your in
terest: My dear Mr. Kearns:
I acknowledge receipt of your letter
of June Cth, enclosing a petition signed
on disarmament day by members of
your church in support of the plan to
call a conference of leading nations on
disarmament at the earliest possible
date, and favoring a reduction of the
enormous appropriations for war
preparations. I am very glad that you
have taken this action. '
I am a strong advocate of Senator
Borah's attempt to bring about an im
mediate conference between the United
States, Japan and Great Britain as the
leatling nations of the world. If they
can agree on naval disarmament it will
be an enormous stimulus to a confer
ence of all the nations for a world
wide disarmament. 1 think the United
States should lead the way and set th
example, and I am unalterably opposed
to the enormous appropriation bills
that have been proposed for the army
at the end of a long.'hot
night for a cool peaceful
M' ranches ci "Kna and
and navy. I believe not only in disj
armament by agreement, but I te
lieve the United States can afford to
set the example and should not. while
(preaching disarmament, enormously
I increase its appropriations for army
and navy
Yours verv trulv,
