C. T. U. of the United States has been done in our local grades by children from ages of six to fourteen. During the last two years literature has been Intro duced into high school grades but not enough work done by students to justify granting of awards. The real success of this work is due to the teacher who accepts the added task altho it is given as a part of some regular work or study. To the teach er the W. C. T.

The re ceiver says the last note was a re newal of one made several months earlier. State Journal.

BAND CONCERT POSTPONED Owing to the unfavorable condition of the weather that prevailed last evening it was decided that it would be best to postpone the band concert to have been given by the Eagles and Legion Junior band, at the court house lawn. The bands will present the same program as outlined for last Wednesday evening. May 16th at the court house and which should be one of the enjoyable features of the sea son. The Eagles band has some of the best musicians of the state in their membership and the splendid progress that the Junior band has had under the direction of L. D. Hiatt and W. R. Holly has made them a real snappy little band and which the public will have the op portunity of hearing for the first time on next Wednesday evening at o'clock.

Q Historic Old Church Destroy; ed by Fire Old Baptist Church at Louisville Is Destroyed by lire One of Oldest in County With the burning of the old Bap tist church on Gospel hill last week, another of our oldest landmarks has departed. The church was not total ly destroyed by the fire, but is so badly charred that very little of it can be salvaged, t is uncertain how the fire orginiated. It appears that it started in the basement at the north end and when discovered it was blazing fiercely inside. Prompt and heroic efforts of the volunteer fire department aided by volunteers from the cement plant, kept the blaze within bounds and saved the house of Mrs. John Myers next door north, as a strong wind was blowing from the south. Mrs. Myers feels very grateful to the fire boys, to the cement workers and the neighbors who assisted her in saving her home. This old building was moved here from Murray more than 45 years ago by Walter Cutforth and others inter ested in the Baptist denomination. Our old timers well remember many different entertainments that were given there in early days, among them the cantata, "Queen Esther." Miss Ella McBride, an elocutionist of rare ability, when elocutionist were scarce, used to come here to give en tertainments. She wore a red velvet gowif with a long train and must have looked like a veritable Queen of Sheba. upon one occasion, and C. C. McPherson. now of Lincoln, but then time keeper for the W. II. B. Stout quarries, escorted her to and from the state. Many rousing rivival meet ings have been held in this old church in bygone times, also. The lot i? owned by a Baptist society and will probably be sold in the near future. Louisville Courier. There are many ways to stop ditches both large and small. The farm Bureau in this county is start ing some definite work along this line this summer. We will have meet ings at several points where illus trated lectures will be given to show how erosion is controlled. Later act ual demonstrations of building brush dams and soil saving dams will be held on farms over the county. In later articles methods of erosion will be given. Girls Clubs We have fewer girls clubs than in any year since we organized. We hope there will be more clubs organ ized during this mouth. Hardy Alfalfa Anyone wishing to see the dif ference between hardy and unhasty alfalfa can do so this spring. R. C. Wenzel of Eagle has a field which was soon with seed direct from west ern Nebraska. Henry Hohman of Wabash, eslie Wiles of Weeping Water have fields which were sown with seed direct from Rapid City, South Dakota.

SAYS CROPS LOOK GOOD From Friday's Dally Mr. and Mrs. John Scheel, two of the prominent residents of the vi cinity of Murdock, were here today for a few hours, making the trip via the auto routs. Mr. and Mrs. Ccheel state that crops in their part of the county are coming along fine and that the rain there a few nights ago was very beneficial and gave a gen eral feeling of a fine outlook for the crops this season in that part of the county.

Davis Investments Real Estate 4- rmii Riinriii unrro Copy for this Department fr fnrnNhpd Ytv County A.ient A Continent Washing Away According to government estimates more than 4,000,000 acres of land in the United States have been ruined to the point of being abandoned and about S. 000. 000 have been seriously damaged by erosion. Nebraska alone has 25,000 square miles of rich land which is subject to damage by soil washing. When the hills and valleys were covered by prairie sod no damage was done by a three or four inch rain. No ditches formed on the hill sides and no deep gulleys ate their way back through the land. Old settlers of Nebraska and Iowa are firm in their belief that land has washed more severely in the last ten or fifteen years than ever before and they are right about it. The prairie sod was rich in organic mat ter which had accumulated for thou sands of years when our middle west was a grazing ground for the buffalo. Years of farming has removed much of this organic matter and where it has not been replenished by manur ing or use of sweet clover or alfalfa, damage has resulted from erosion because the soil is less sponge-like and less absorbent. Where serious harm has been done., hillsides may be washed down to the yellow clay and cup with a hundred ditches which make farming diffi cult, deep gulleys may divide good fields into small pieces which are difficult to farm. Where these con ditions exist some heroic measure will be neede to repair the damage.
