Wood May Enter Senate Race. SCOTTSBLUFF Indications of the campaign of next year are beginning to be apparent In this region, with the proposal of A. B. Wood, editor of the Gering Courier, for state senator from the new district made up of Scottsblutf. Morrill and Banner counties. Mr. "Wood, who has already enlisted the support of the Bridgeport News-Blade and Minatare Free Rress among the country weeklies of this region, has announced his willingness to run loi the office. He has lived in this county thirtv-five years, and served for a lonv time on the executive committee of the tnte irritation association. It is Faid that he will not be without onnosition. however, and that the name of A. J. Shumway of Scottsbluff has been suggested as a candidate to op pose Sir. Wood for the republican nom ination the nomination being almost equivalent to election, in this strongly republican rcg on. Brings Altar From Mexico. DAVID CITY "Not often does a merscn have the opportunity to sue ssfully perform a difficult task re- iioiring real effort and diplomacy as vi-as recently accomplished by Mrs. k v. Crane, formeily Miss Maggie MDlcr, daughter of Judge Matt Miller if David City, when she did the almost impossible feat of bringi-.g from Guanajuato, Mexico, to Riverside, Cal an ancient ami valuable altar from one of the old Spanish churches," says an article in the last issue of the Butler tCounty Iress. The. altar, said to be probably the most beautiful in the world, ig valued at $150,000. About a year ago a distant relative of Mr. Crane, a Mr. Miller, owner of the Mission Inn at Hiverside, Cal., was visiting Mr. and Mrs. Crane in Guana juato, and after viewing the magnifi cent altar hetold Mrs. Crane that if she would buy the altar and get it into the United States he would buy it from her and place it in the Mission Inn. Mrs. Crane was successful in her en deavor only after some six months of ine most strenuous ana concentrated effort, and after interviewing most of the higher officials in Mexico was e-iven a permit to take the altar from Mexico. the governor. The state would pay the expense in each cae, so that the que t.on is one of who makes the trips. Further, says the governor, if the architect came to Lincoln, them! would be the added expense of ship ping a model of the capitol, cbout six feet high, to Lincoln. ar- ' First Train for Voder. SCOTTSBLUFF It I. practically certain that on Thursday, December 1, the Union I'acific will run its first train into Yodcr, unless construction work is unduly delayed the next two weeks by bad weather, says the Goshen Hole Journal. It is well known there j is sufficient mnterial at hand for com-i pleting the track to Yoder, and the work is being pushed ju;t as fast as ! possible. I he steel gang should rive in Yoder December 2fth. j It is stated the actual laying of the I steel could easily lc done in a week, but it has been decided to surface me roanea witn cinders. ihis is '.icing done, and accounts for the I r-vviiiiii niu"in.i'ii v. 1.11c f .

This will bring another large body of men to Yoder for the winter months. New Wrinkle for High Schools. ALBION The board of education has appointed Miss Ethel Williamson ot the high school faculty dean of .irirls. Her special work is to sponsor activities of high school girls and to uide their training along social and cultural lines. Saturday afternoon the irls served a formal tea for the Wom en's clubs of the town, which was largely uttended. This is the third function of the year. Unconscious for Six Months. LONG PINE Joseph Hale Johnson, 30, son of W. K. Johnson of this city, lied after an illness of six months. He had been unconscious since May 20, and for six weeks was in a deep sleep. Doctors claim the disease was caused Jby inflammation of the brain. To Delay Work on Capitol. LINCOLN Actual work on the new capitol building proper will not begin uintil the spring of 1923, according to iecisions reached at the meeting of ti e capitol commission. The contract Jfk' the construction of the foundation wJU be let not earlier than March of next spring. Later, in the same year, .contracts for the super-structure will ie let, so that the contractors and builders can get the material assem bled in readiness for actual construc tion, which is to begin in 1923. .The reason for this delay, says Gov ernor McKelvie, is that building costs are gradually decreasing, and that a further decline may be looked for. When the capitol commission first be gan to consider co?t, the cost of con struction per cubic foot of space was 53 cents. That cost has now dropped to 30 cents per cubic foot. , The reason that the full membership of the capitol commission is going to New York on December 9 and 10 to confer with B. G. Goodhue, architect. and with the foundation architects, is" that 11 the commission did not go, the arcniiect ami lour ot nis engineers would have to come to Nebraska, says Marines Guard the Mails. LINCOLN United States marines will shortly replace the special armed guards placed on Nov. 9, on trains operating between Lincoln and Kansas City, Denver and Billings, according statement by Chief Clerk John M. Bytler, of the railway mail service. "We expect the detail of marines tr reach Lincoln almost any time now," said Mr. Butler. "There will probably be a larger number of marines placed on the tranis as guards than number now maintained. Fifteen former soldiers were put on Nov. 9 by Mr. Butler to art as special armed guards on trains through Lin coln, following authorization received to that effect from the second as sistant postmaster general. The men are to receive $112.50 a month. lhe marine. in all probability will for a time maintain their headquarters at the federal building, according to Mr. Butler. It is probable that about four squads of marines will bo station ed here. The ex-service men now on guard duty on the trains were recommended by the Lincoln Legion post. Western Nebraska ' Story Tellers Are No Longer Champions With deep regret, The Herald chron icles the parsing of the Munchausen medal from western Nebraska. Every year there is a new batch of snake stories, and some of this year's crop have been remarkable indeed, but the local story-tellers are outclassed en tirely by a Georgia writer, who tells the following tale of the devotion of a mother snake to her young: "Mother birds feign broken wings and leg, a mother cat will fight for her kittens, mother dogs also will fight, other animals nave various means of defending their offspring, but Georgia has a snake that is absolutely original. . "ihere are, it is true, no corrobora tive witnesses to back up this story and it has been mighty hot in Georgia this summer, but the man who told the story is a vity clerk of Atlanta and is believed to be one of those mysterious reliable sources you read about, so here's the yarn: "Walter Taylor, city clerk of Atlan ta, got it in second-hand shae from the eye-witness, Joe Epsom, who lives at Salt Springs, so says Walter. Joe tells the story like this: " 'A few days ago,' said Mr. Epsom, 'I was near the well on my place when I saw a larire blacksnake coming down a path. That wasn't extraordinary, but a second look coifYinced me that here, now, was something worth look ing into. Ten tiny little baby snakes were playfully following the big snake. I hid behind a tree and watched. "'lhe mother snake was moving faintly. Her mouth was open and she was panting. Every once in a while she; would stop and fan herself briskly with her tail, in which she had a large oak leaf. It was evident she had come a long way for something and was about all in. The day was unusually warm.

We sometimes lose track of the fact that we can not always work as we do now. Many an old couple could be happier and far more' comfortable today if just a little more foresight had been used in their younger days, and the savings habit had been start ed when money meant less to them than it does today. Start now to lay aside a little each week to provide a competence for old age. A few cents a day will do it consider them spent foolishly if necessary, and you will be inde pendent and comfortable when the silver hairs come. Let us show you how easy it can be done.

The baby snakes formed in a ring around a hole about the size of a soup dish in the ground. It was plain she had come for the purpose of watering l.er family. " 'Mother snake wrapped her tail around the bucket and strove to turn it over. She couldn't. Then she grasp ed the bail and tried again, but it again was too murh for her. She stop ped and scratched her head with her tail, trying to think of 'something else to do. Suddenly an idea struck her. She stood on her head and dipped her tail into the bucket, then removed it and allowed the water to drip into the hole where her babies were waiting. She mu.-tt have repeated that opera tion a hundred times, but the hole was finally filled. Then she descended and gave the babies a lesnon in drinking. She had done all this without taking a drink herself. " 'Her duty to her family completed, the old snake wearily dragged herself once more to the bucket and by an al most super-snake effort sank her head in the water and drank.
