Possession of a still is not violation of the state pro hibition law, according to supreme court opinion handed down today. The court held thr. t unless proof is shown that a still lias been used or is being used for the illegal manu facture of liquor a conviction will not hold. A still may be user for distilling water or for some other lawful pur pose, the supreme judges held. The derision was made in the case of Goorge and Homer Blevins, broth ers, from Gosper county, who appeal ed a conviction on a charge of pos session of a still and illegal manu facture of liquor, i The Blevins conviction was upheld because mash was found as well as the still when their home was raided. i Bear in mind that the annual rummage sale of the Presbyterian ladies will be held on November 16, t 17 and IS in the rooms formerly oc- ' cupied by Mrs. Emma Pease, in the Wagner hotel building. i To feel strong, have good appetite 'and digestion, sleep soundly and en i joy life, ure Burdock-Blood Bitters. ; the family system tonic. Price, $1.25. Much valuable feed may be secur ed this fall and winter from pastur ing wheat without material injury to the wheat if judiciously done. The value will of course depend on many things, such as the growth of the wheat and the scarcity of other feed. For the farmer who has plenty of other pasture there is little to induce him to pasture his wheat and prob ably as a rule he had better not. But the man who is short of feed, espe cially if he has dairy cattle, can save considerable expense and the effect on the wheat will scarcely be noticed. The general opinion of farmers and the results of experiments seem to agree rather closely in showing that wheat is rarely benefited by pastur ing. Sometimes on rich bottom lands where wheat is not often grown, pas turing will prevent an excessive growth of straw and reduce to some extent the danger of lodging. Late spring pasturing, however, will de lay the crop, cause it to ripen late and almost invariably reduce the yi'ld. Pasturing too closely or before the plants get started and pastur ing when the ground is wet will us ually cause more injury than will be offset by the value of the pasture. Care must also he exercise in turn ing cattle onto wheat pastur" for the first time on account of danger of bloating. Soft wheat as a rule furnishes bet ter pasture than hard wheat because of its rank and more rapid growth. The difference, however, is not suffi cient to justify growing soft wheat v.-here hard wheat is considered a better variety. Experiments at the Kansas sta tion from lss to 1.P6 give valuable indications of what may be expected from pasturing, so far as the effect on the wheat is concerned. In these experiments, stock was not allowed on the fields until the wheat was well started .and never when the ground was wet. Neither were they pastured close enough to cause any apparent injury. The average yields for five year? were as follows: Tall pastured. 26.3 bushels per acre: spring pastured. 27. S bushels X-er acre; not pastured, 29.6 bushels per ac re. A similar experiment at the Okla homa station for five years gave the following results: Heavily pastured. S.4 bushels per acre: Pehtly pastured to March 1. 11.6 bushels per acre; not pastured, 12.7 bushels per acre. Cattle men value wheat pasture at from 2o cents to S2.00 per acre, de pending on the wheat and the price of fee-ds. Most cattle men and wheat growers in the drier portions of the wheat belt of the Southwest consider any wheat pasture, secured in the fall, as that much clear gain. They (laim that judicious pasturing does not injure the wheat and if they get some pasture they are certain of that much which may be all they will get out of the crop. t . ;ii A - - " " " a H i , 4 ill ii ! nun yiSf'lr aiik for Long Wear None but materials of the very best qual ity go into "Ball-Band" Arctics.

Phone No. 50 A, 4- 9 Traveling men who came to Ne braska City yesterday were surpris- , d. they said, to discover that Xe- : hraska City people wore not dying in iiocks IriKii diptm-ria. The story had been well circulated in Plattsmouth. :hey averred, that the Otoe county capital was entirely quarantined on acount of the epi demic of diptheria. One salesman went so far as to telephone th Grand Hotel to find out. ; "It's nothing but another litth joke on Nebraska City by our lovinsr lriends at Plattsmouth." said a mer chant. It was at Plattsmouth that first appeared the placard" warring people to stay away because police arrested all strangrers on sight. There is no more diptheria in Ne braska City than there is in Platts mouth. There is no danger and there has been none. Plattsmouth evident ly must have her little fun. Ne braska City Press. The report as to Nebraska City be ing quarantined must have originat ed in the fertile minds of the travel ing men as there has been nothing of the kind circulated in Platts-I mouth, or probably from the parties who were so active in placarding the warning to motorists to stay away j from the Otoe county city in the towns of this vicinity. We deny the allegation of any knocks on our pleasant little neigh-' boring city and could imagine noth ing: more nerve-racking than to have to be quarantined there for any length of time.
