Apprehend Speeders.
The Greenwood school which is on
the detour highway, his had signs
prohibiting fast driving past the
schools aud especially at the time
when the school children are pass

are accustomed to reckless driving
irrespective of the rights and safety
of others, seemingly gave no respect
to the signs, and had to be arrested
by the ones caring for the lives and
welfare of the children. This had
its effect on them only for someone
not knowing that the arrests had
been made, speed past and among
the students, only to have to be stop
ped. The driver, whoever, he may
be, who does not respect traffic regu
lations, has no right on the high
way. Ladies Meet at Hall.

his lot which he gave fair attention.

LUNCHEON UNDER HANDICAP
Washington The lunch hour
question assumed large proportions
at the United States census bureau
Thursday with the refusal of the
comptroller general to allow a cafe
teria to be built for the 6,000 tem
porary employes. Tha comptroller
general took the position it was bad
economy to enlarge the temporary
wartime structure in which the cen
sus bureau has been housed for
eleven years.
The tiny census bureau cafeteria
even under a handout system, where
nobody was allowed to sit down for
lunch, was found utterly inadequate
to handle the census crowd. Em
ployes are now supplied from push
carts drawn up to the curb in front
of the building. By hundreds, they
stand in the street at noon consum
ing hot dogn, bananas, root beer and
sandwiches.

Dean Adds Fifteen Minutes Onto
Girls' Week-End Date
Deadline
Lincoln, Sept. 19. Two important
decisions important in the eyes of
of the student body have greeted
the throngs of undergraduates at the
University of Nebraska this fall.
First of all, sorority and dormi
tory inmates are gloating over the
added 15 minutes which they can
spend with their "boy friends" on
Friday and Saturday nights. ;
In the olden days women students
were rorcea to leave tneir escorts
at 12:15 sharp Friday and Saturday
night?. Now they can be "out" until
12: 30, according to the new rules
ust made public by the dean of wom
en, Miss manda Heppner.
Student Council Tax
The other decision made by uni
versity authorities, to which the stu
dents have allied themselves whole
heartedly, is the taxing of a small
percentage of the incomes in various
student organizations for the subsi
dizing of the student council, gov
ernmental body of the campus.
Heretofore the council has gone
unaided financially, thereby neces
sitating it to refrain from numer
ous "movements." This year the stu
dent activities will be assessed one-
half of 1 per cent of their gross in
come and this is to go to the student
council.
The fund will be used for all
legitimate expenses, according to Dr.
T. J. Thompson, dean of student af
fairs and a member of the commit
tee to authorize and acmlnister the
fund.
The plan is an outgrowth of con
ferences between Dean Thompson
and John K. Selleck, student activ
ities agent.
POLICE HEADS BUY RADIO AS
HOLDUP MORALE IS SCORED
Lincoln, Sept. 18. Chief of Police
Johnstone and Police Commissioner
Foster were out of the city Thurs
dayl reported to be buying radio
equipment for the force, as citizens
heaped criticism on their heads about
the way Lincoln police acted when
the Lincoln National bank was rob
bed Wednesday.
Citizens show displeasure at the
report only two police were on duty
in the station when the robbery re
port came in, and that these two
officers, after arriving at the bank,
accepted with thangs the bandits'
order that they retrace their steps,
and walked or ran six blocks back
to the station for aid.
Another criticism was that when
the officers went to chase the fleeing
bandits, there were only a handful
of cartridges in the police station
arsenal.

PHEASANT RAISING
A PROFITABLE NE
BRASKA INDUSTRY
There are only a couple of alrge
game farms between the Mississippi
river and the west coast, and one
of them is the Lancaster Came
Farm, located near Lincoln. It is
a pheasant farm owned by Lawrence
Farrell, who begain it as a spare
time project and hobby. Last year,
however, he raised over 500 pheas
ants, which he sold to surrounding
states for their game preserves or
breeding purposes and also to the
markets as game food.
The pheasant is essentially a wild
bird and can never be tamed. There
fore it is necessary to make use of
other kinds of fowls to hatch the
pheasant eggs and raise the young
birds. The Japanese silky bantam,
which is a most unusual chicken in
that it is the only type that has
black skin and black bones, is noted
for being-the best of mothers. Dur
ing the season between the first of
April until the middle of July, these
hens hatch the pheasant eggs and
are kept with the chicks until they
are six weeks old. The baby chicks

Force Will Be Here to Complete
Laying Line to Connect With
Missouri Valley Co.
The Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power
Co., who are serving this city with
electricity and artificial gas, are to
have a force of workmen here Sun
day to complete the laying of their
pipe line to connect with the large
twenty-four inch gas mains of the
Missouri Valley Pipeline Co., which
is supplying natural gas in this sec
tion.
The local company has had their
work held up pending the settle
ment of the franchise question with
the city and now that this has been
removed, the injunction against the
company dismissed, the work can go
on to completion.
It is expected that in ten days or
two weeks the patrons here will be
placed on the natural gas service
and hereafter be supplied with this
fuel for heat and power.
This is the first line of natural gas
to come into this territory and its
advent-has been watched with inter
est as furnishing the possibilities of
a clean, reliable supply of fuel for
power and heating and at a rate that
would permit the use by large manu
facturing plants where a great deal
of the gas can be used.
The United Gas Service Co. is also
moving into this field and their lines
will soon be in this territory and al
ready workmen are reaching here
to carry on the preliminary work of
getting the line right of way ar
ranged and ready for the construc
tion force.

have to learn their foster mother's
call and are taught by her to eat.
They require a great deal of care for
the first three weeks. The pheas
ant hen does not make a nest for her
eggs, but lays them on the ground
so that they must be gathered up
and put under the bantam. A pheas
ant hen will average about 71 eggs
in a season.
After the chicks are six weeks
old they are removed to the fly pen
which is a wire pen 100 meet wide,
150 feet long and 7 feet high. A
small inside runway is used in which
to feed the young birds. It is flitted
out with a trap door so that they
may be caught at feeding time as
it is almost ompossible to catch tr
when they have any room at all ii.
which to get around. This pen ir
wired one foot under the grounl
and si inches out at right angles to
prevent animal3 from burroyirg
under.
The farm has six breeding pens
which will hold five hens and a
male pheasant. The pens have no
floorings, nor do they need to have
places for roosting, as the pleasants
always roost on the gorund no mat
ter how inclement the weather. A
good many of the pens are movable,
HAVE EXCELLENT ORDER
One of the most impressive things
that marked the large crowds at the
Cass county fair was the splendid
order preserved both in the day and
the evening by Sheriff Bert Reed
and Deputy Sheriff Young, with the
assistance of the city marshal of
Weeping Water. The crowds were the
largest in years and the mixed gath
ering one in which some disorder
could be expected but it is a fine
tribute to the fair management and
the officers that everything was in
the best of shape and no disturbances
or disorder to mark the large crowds
and the visitors to the fair given the
lnest opportunity to enjoy the fair
in their own way.
Sheriff Reed and Deputy Young
were at Weeping Water a greater
part of each day and evening and
kept check of any strangers tbat
might have drifted in for any illegal
purposes.

have about a two foot moulding to
keep the birds from bing frighten

particularly nervous and will never
allow man or animal to approach

forts to get away. In spue of this
nervous disposition however they
are easily raised and are very heal
thy. An especially prepared ration
is fed to the birds until they are
six weeks old when they are put
on a straight grain ration. It has
been proven that pheasants eat about
only one fifth as much as chickens.
There are about ten acres in all
on the farm. Some 150 Japanese
:!ky bantams were raised last year
nd a few English call ducks be
sides the pheasants. This fall the
farm will be stocked with partridge,
wild turkeys and bob white quail.
The golden, silver and Lady Am

the Mongolian, English ring neck
