Fire jjoes Luch Damage. At the rear of the Quality Cleaners conducted by Ross Shields and wife, there occurred a very serious fire dur ing the early portion of this week, the fire originated in the furnace Plans for putting the federal corn tog reduction program into effect in every county of Nebraska at least by Jan. 1 were announced at the agri cultural college Tuesday afternoon as the second day of the statewide con ference on the plan came to a close. Countywide meetings for all corn- heg growers will begin Dec. 27, when members of the temporary county committees will be selected. Each will consist of from three to five growers. Herman Hanke of Ithaca, Henry Bock of David City, and John Robertson of Joy, members of the state committee, together with State Administrator P.rokaw, will have charge of the meetings. A schedule for the various county meetings will be announced Wednes day. A member of the state commit tee and an extension worker from the agricultural college will attend each session. When the county committee men are selected, they in turn will select the community committees. Announcement of the program for the countywide meetings mean that the administration will be speeded along in Nebraska. It is possible that community meetings may start in seme counties by Dec. 29. It is ex pected, however, that all counties will have tbsir temporary organiz ation completed and the educational campaign under way soon after Jan. 1. The county extension agents and emergency agricultural assistants at tending the -conference heard talks about community programs, statistics and publicity. Elton Lux, extension editor, said Nebraska newspapers had wholeheartedly co-operated in the wheat program to place the facts be fore farmers ro they cculd decide for themselves about the advisability of LIFE IS LIKE A GAKE OF CARDS -a chance room and was communicated to th:-j"e plan. R. E. Holland, district ex This life is a gamble game of cards Where we put up our all ori the deal; To find that the goals we had drawn towards We lost by the hand3 they re veal. For never a flush, or a full, or a pair Has come to our hand in the game ; Yet we feel, on the whole, that the deal was square But it cost a deep sigh, just the same. So we put in our "ante" and start out anew With a hope in our heart for a break. And the prospect alluring, ere the game is through Leaves naught but a dream in its wake. With Diamonds in hand our stake we may hold; With Clubs we may fight and defend The Hearts that endure with the stamp of gold, Till Old Time with his Spade "calls" the end. 'K' A K V .

Doran, former head of the United States bureau of industrial alcohol, seeking permission to land 40.000 eases of liquor from the steamer Mogul as a means of obviat ing a smuggling attempt, said he had not intended to challenge the govern ment nor bargain with President Roosevelt. "I sent the telegram purely a3 a business deal, open and above-board," Martin said. Ke raid the cargo of the Mogul was worth f 300,0 00 and was owned by a French syndicate oper ating out of Tahiti. Martin profess ed ignorance of the identity of per sons involved in the syndicate, say ing he had acted on representations of a third rerson in Canada. aa.i!ffi';::iH1ia';i::H';fP.r'r::i:s;":!:5:::3:5;;Bi!2 drying room which was connected' tension leader, also appeared on theig program.

How ever Mr. Shields had made provision for the paying of the damage which. resulted by carrying a special insur ance on the clothes which were there to be cleaned and in this manner no one lost anything by the fire. Thi? is a fine thing as in this way no one lost anything by the fire. In tho repair of the damaged de partments of the cleaning and dry ing departments, a change is being made which will not allow a fire to be conducted through the air: question shaft which will carry either the fire or the smoke as was in this case. Mr. Shield? is to be congratulated that he was carrying adequate insurance for just such an accident. many or which farm-ie ers will ask in the community meet- ings with the next few weeks, have , b?en fired at the state administrators ' by the county agents.
