There is no section of the state that is more closely connected with the early history of Nebraska than that portion that lies along the Mis souri river .and two of the spots that are most prominent is that of Ar bor Lodge at Nebraska City and the old mission at La Platte. The chance to secure and keep Arbor Lodge as one of the historical spots in the state should be accepted and Nebras ka take the proper amount of pride in the preserving of these places of historic interest. The part that J. Sterling Morton and Nebraska City had in the early history of Nebraska is represented in the associations with Arbor Lodge and should be preserved by the state by all means.

Never before has the demand been so great. You will want a Fordson Tractor early here is one product you cannot wait for when the weather opens up you will need it. You will want it for plowing, seeding, cultivating and all your other work. Already it has proved the greatest help to profit able farming that has ever been offered you. And at $3.95 f. o. b. Detroit, the price is so low that you lose money every day you are without a Fordson. To get delivery you must order early. There are no reserve stocks among our dealers our production capacity, great as it is, will not enable us to build up a reserve. It must be a case of "first come, first served" and the only way in which you can protect yourself is to list your order with a Fordson Dealer immediately. By taking advantage of our dealer's first op portunity to make delivery, you will be assured of having your Fordson when you need it Ford Motor Company Detroit, Michigan SK FOR WORLD LIMIT ON NARCOT IC PRODUCTIONS m louse Resolution Says Excess Sup-jC Tlv Canse of Deulorable Con- 1 A - ditions in the World. f. o. b. DETROIT Washington, Jan. 31. President larding would be requested to urge i world-wide limitation of narcotic nd habit-forming drugs production mder a resolution introduced today y Chairman Porter of the house for (ign affairs committee. Asserting that present conditions .rising from the use of 'narcotic Irugs are due solely to a production nany times greater than is necessary, ".he resolution requests the president .o urge upon the governments of reat Britain. Persia and Turkey the lecessity of limiting growth of the oppy and the production of opium md its derivatives, exclusively to .he amount aetually required for trictly medical and scientific pur oses. It also requests him to urge ipon the governments of Peru, Boliv- a and The Netherlands the necessity of limiting the production of coco eaves and their derivatives to the same end. The resolution did not suggest an nternational conference, but left to the discretion of the president the Tiethod of . procedure. Under its terms, however, the president would be requested to report to congress ithin six months the result of his efforts. Unlawful use in the United States )f opium and its derivatives, includ ing morphine and heroin, and of co caine and other preparations made from cocoa leaves, the resolution said has wrought irreparable injury to health and morality and caused in creased and spreading" death. A special committee appointed by the secretary of the treasury in 1919 to investigate the drug traffic, the resolution said, was of the opinion that at that time there were 1,000,- 000 addicts in the United States, ranging in age from 12 to 75 years. Of the annual opium production of 1.500 tons, the resolution set forth. less than seventy-flve tons, accord ing to the best available information. is required for medicinal and scien tific purposes."

PROP Union, Nebraska HOUSE MEMBERS ' INTRODUCE TOTAL OF 672 MEASURES More Bills Introduced Than During 1921 Session; 672 Have Been : Introduced this Session. The lower house reluctantly. aban doned the process of introduction of bills at the close of a night session Wednesday when the mark reached 672 to say nothing of those the gov ernor may introduce. Insofar as con cerns the one hundred members, time is up. The total number exceeds that of two years ago by fifty-five but does not equal the 1917 record, of 793. In 1919, there were introduced 476 bills in the house. During the Wednesday sessions, day and night, 277 bills were offered. The last two bills to drop in the hopper Wednesday night, carry ap propriations for salaries of state offi cers and for mtaintenance of the state government in compliance with former Governor McKelvie's official budget. Representative Dysart and others introduced forty-two bills which seek to amend the administrative code act, transfer duties, invest powers In con nection with certain departments. The introducers propose to abolish the departments of agriculture, labor and public welfare and to transfer their powers and duties to a new de partment of permits and inspections. It is provided that the land commis sioner may be made head of the de partment of public works to Serve without additional pay. It continues the departments of finance, trade and commerce and public works. The sal ary of the finance department is fixed at $3,000, that of the head of the de- industry and oils, gasoline and other commodities under the department of inspection. Radical legislation is proposed in some of the last day bills. The lan guage question is revived in H. ,R. 60S, by George B. Collins and Elsas ser, both of the Douglas county dele gation. It proposes repeal of the Reed-Norval bill in so far as It per tains to the teaching of foreign lan guages in schools of the state. It pro poses to take out practically every thing but the anti-discrimination feature. This undisturbed section makes it unlawful to discriminate against the. English language. One section proposed for repeal provides that no teacher in a private, denomi national, parochial or public school shall teach any subject to any per son in any language other than the English. The other section proposed for re peal provides that languages other than English may be taught, as lan guage Only, after the pupil passes the eighth grade.
