He came to Nebraska in the year 1881 and lived near Weeping Water until Fi?e Hundred Workmen in Pennsyl vania Glass Factory Enter on a Probationary Period. Glassmere, Pa., Feb. 17. Five hundred or more workmen in the fac tories of the Allegheny Glass com pany bought earlier this week by Henry Ford for operation in connec tion with his other industries, today entered upon a probationary period of two months, with every one de termined to make good and to reap the financial benefit of what they termed the "Ford system." The little village fairly buzzed with excitement when it was an nounced by D. K. Albright, general manager, that wages throughout the plant had been increased about 80 per cent and that for sixty days ev ery man would be on probation, with assurance of a permanent place if he proved satisfactory. They also were Informed that they would be permitted to invest their savings in the stock of the Ford enterprises to one-third of their earnings and that an extensive program of welfare work would be Instituted and carried out. The dozen boys under twenty years of age, among the employes, were not quite sure of their status, but it was made plain to them that they were to be part of a plan that also looks to their welfare. The Allegheny plant has a rated capacity of about f,000,000 square feet of polished plate glass a year. In the immediate vicinity aje six other Important plate glass factories whose managers frankly said they would watch Mr. Ford's experiment with "great interest." Arthur E. Braun, publisher of the Pittsburg Post and former president of the corporation, instituted many innovations when tne factories were rebuilt seven years ago.

H. M. SoeninichseEi Si Co, Telephone No. 12 Murray, Nebraska (By Joe Haaga, Ass't Sec. Nat'l Du roc Jersey Record Ass'n. ) The number of pigs farrowed and raised by a brood sow has a direct bearing on the net profit she returns her owner each year. The cost of each pig at birth is determined by what it has cost to feed and care for the sow during the whole year. If a sow far rows only ten pigs in twelve months, these ten pigs have cost at birth time I just twice as much as if the same jtow had produced twenty pigs in the same period. It is therefore a good idea to keep in the herd only those brocd sows that have and raise large litters. Prolificacy is one of the strong points of pure bred sows of all breeds. Adherents of- the different breeds of registered swine have al ways maintained that pure bred sows are superior to grade and scrub sows or those of mixed and non-de-script breeding in their tendency to have large litters and in their abil ity to rear them safely to weaning age. In substanttiation of this claim a few figures, recently obtained from the pure bred herds of four Duroc second for the wettest place and El Paso, Tex., took second position as ... ,T. . ..,, , 'Jersey breeders located in different From the Mississippi valley ea&t- ' ,. . , , ward, the amounts of precipitation ranged generally from about thirty inches in the upper lake region to.be- states. are interesting.

W00ER0W WILSON'S HEALTH IMPROVES Washington, Feb. 17. If you were invited out to that quiet home on S street today and you Epent fifteen minutes in conversation with Wood row Wilson, you. would observe: A mind as keen as a razor blade, an amazing knowledge of current events, and ability to discuss almost any angle of the foreign or domestic political situation, an almost uncan ny knowledge of world conditions, re mote and recent, and a cheerful and happy disposition. Wilson's physical condition is bet ter much better. Slowly, but surely he is regaining the use of his para lyzed left leg and arm. His step is approaching something close to its old-time steadiness. He is getting heavier every day, the color is flush in-his cheeks and he eats and eleeps well. But he is by no means a well man and probably never will be because his age stands against com plete recovery. PROMINENT UTAH MEN ARRESTED FOR SMOKING t 35 years Experience Office Coates Block .i DR.
