Fighting Graft Every red blooded farmer is up in arms and ready to fight graft in the high places in our local and nation al life. It has been said that the country's greatest enemies are those within its gates. The same may be sarid of any business organization But in the latter cases the enemies are for the most part carelessness, and out of date practices. Take the farm business for instance. How many of the farm enterprises are marking time? Which ones are rid ing and which ones are drawing the farm business load? Are any of the livestock grafting on the job and thus stealing the farmer's feed, or are all giving value received? Careful farm records of performance will "spot" the grafters and enable the farmer to cast them out of his business and fill their places with the animals and enterprises that bend every ef fort to give value received.

YEARS after the rails had been pushed from the Missouri to the Pacific, there was no railroad bridge over the river at Plattsmouth. In sum mer this water gap was crossed bv ferry. In winter a temporary bridge was built on piles driven through holes cut in the ice. During the cold weather the ice held the bridge firmly in place, but with the coming of spring, the bridge went out with the ie. It is said that at one time tracks were laid directly on the ice for the passage of engines urgently needed w est of the Missouri. The early record of Nebraska is one of difficulties overcome. The un chronicled history of many a plain homesteader is a record of unflinching courage in the face of bitrer disappointment. In spice of Indians and de stroying insect pests, crop failures and blighted hopes, he refused to sur render and lies in an unmarked grave or under a crude headstone a founder of Nebraska's greatness. The same qualities explain Nebraska's achievements and progress. V7here Nebraska produced 65.0C0 pounds of creamery butter 32 years ago, today she produces 65.000,000 pounds, and Omaha is the greatest butter-mahir.g city in the world. Nebraska's milch cows now number half a million. Within a year or two her dairy herd will be doubled. She can profitably keep millions and she will. Industrially, Nebraska gains-steadily. One of her great smelting plants products mere pig lead than any other rmtlter in the world. Her sugar refineries produce 130,000 000 pounds cf sugar annually from Nebraska raised beers. During her rapid growth Nebraska needed many things. Kerosene for light and cooking, gasoline for automobiles, trucks and tractors, were as necessary as feed for live-stock. A pioneer in the field, developing a supply service that has kept step with Nebraska's requirements, the Standard Oil Company of Nebraska is the servant of all the people in town and country. Chartered under Nebraska's laws, directed and operated by Nebraska residents, and doing business in practically no other state, this company is a home institution that shares Nebraska's uns and downs and sticks to its job.
