Card cf Thanks We desire to express our most sin cere appreciation of the acts of kind ness shown us at the time of the death cf our brothei-, Oscar AV. Zaar. Also for the words of sympathy and for the assistance at the funeral serv ices. Martin Zaar and Family; A. D. Zaar and Family; Mrs. Tillie In Memoriam Oscar Zaar, the genial, kindly, al ways pleasant, generous friend of man. is greatly missed by those who knew him. Our acquaintance with him dates back nearly forty years In all those years our dealings have leen on the best of terms. Asking nothing but what was fair and just, his dealings with others were always c f a pleasant nature. He was a gen erous man always willing and ready to respond to the need of any suffer ing. His just and fair dealing with men never caused anyone injustice, hence he had no enemies; he was truly a "friend of man." He exempli fied in life the virtues and character istics of a true follower of Christ. No profane word passed his lips; no evil word about his neighbors or fellow r.ian was ever heard from him. He was a constant, consistent friend who inspired confidence and who could be implicitly trusted. As a citizen, he rtcod for a clean, honest government that would live up to its own laws and thereby set the people a good example. He believed in law en forcement. He was fearless in ex pressing his convictions and stood by them. The world lost a man with the passing of Oscar Zaar. L. Neitzel. 5Cth Wedding Anniversary On last Sunday the family of A. J. Neitzel brought a bountiful dinner and a delicious wedding cake to celebrate the SCth wedding anniver sary of Mr. and Mrs. L. Neitzel, which occurred on Monday the 19th cf February. The occasion was great ly enjoyed, as it was a complete sur prise. These events are some of the bright spots in the lives of the older fciks, when the children bring a lot cf sunshine into their declining year3, as the sun is going over the horizon. Down but Not Out L. Neitzel is laid up for repairs again. Another of the periodical chills that have tormented him in the past, got in its work and he is out of commission. But you can't keep a good man down courage and determination will win over any ob stacle. Down but not out! The first attack was very severe, but two later ones lighter. He is in good hands, well taken care of and prom ises to be as good as new, when he gets out again. Hears Father Had Died. L. B. Gorthey last Saturday re ceived a message from his boyhood home in New York at Eroadalbin, telling of the passing of his father, Edwin Gorthey, aged 70 years. Mr. L. B.

Roosevelt Program Hailed by Sen. Norris "Old Ways Won't Work," Says Sen ator; Speaks fcr the One House Legislature. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 22. United States Senator George W. Norri3 pleaded with the people of his home state tonight for a "higher civiliz ation" in wiiicli "we forget about the i:nconstitutionality of every sug gestion that comes along for the re lief of suffering humanity." Norris spoke at a banquet given in his honor here. "The old metnods won't work," Norris said after a review of dis closures In senate investigations of the acts of financial leaders. "If we drive selfishness from the human heart," he pleaded, "we'll be happier for it. The ambition of men to have money just for money's sake must be curbed. I believe in a mod ern civilization a still higher civil ization and we are coming to it." Pledges Full Support. Norris pledged his "most ncarty support to the carrying out of the great program that is being under taken by President Roosevelt," and called the president the "greatest leader the nation has ever had." Tribute was paid the president as "meeting people cf all kinds, always meeting them with a smile, always ready to take up something for the good of humanity, and as I have found him, always ready to act with out any delay." At the speaker's table with Norris were Governor and Mrs. Charles AV. Bryan, former Governor Arthur J. Weave of Falls City, John G. Maher of Lincoln, Judge E. E. Good of the Nebraska supreme court, and Dean W. W. Burr of the Nebraska agricul tural college. Addresses Hotel Meeting1. Norris came here primarily to speak this afternoon in support of his proposed state constitutional amend ment to create a one-house state leg islature. He addressed a large .crowd at a local hotel auditorium. Maher was "instructed" by the gathering to create a permanent or ganization to carry on the campaign. Maher said he., probably will name an executive committee tomorrow. Norris pictured a one-house legis lature as a means of reducing the in fluence of selfish interests, of giving more power to the people by fixing responsibility and of lowering tax ation. "A Move by People." Labeling his plan as another step in the historical efforts of the people to gain more power, Norri3 said two- house legislatures copied the federal system which grew out of far of plac ing government in the hands of the people. "Our people are sufficiently civ ilized and educated to know what kind of government they want and the laws they want enacted to en force government among themselves. If we can now improve upon our law-making bodies, and if we can give to the people a more direct voice in their state governments, why should we not eliminate some of the things which have been found un necessary and cumbersome, a3 well as expensive, in these state legisla tures?" he asked. Power in "Third House." Pointing out that the qualifications of both branches of the Nebraska leg islature are the same as are their duties, he questioned the need of two houses instead of one and said that actually power rested in a third house, "the conference committee" whose members are not elected by I the people. Recognizing conference commit tees as a necessity in every two house legislature, Norris said the re sult was that "as a practical prop osition, we have legislation, not by the members of the senate, not by the members of the house, but we have legislation by the voice of five or six men." He said every experienced legis lator "knows that it is the hardest thing in the world to defeat a con ference report," although the con ference committee meets in secret and its report must be accepted or re jected as a whole. A one-house legi3latui-e, the sen ator went on, would make it impos sible for legislators to shift their re sponsibility, make it more difficult for selfish interests to get bill3 into parliamentary tangles where they could be molded against popular de sire and make it possible for the peorle intelligently "to reward the man who had done his duty." Sharp Upturn in tlie Price of Butierfat Due to Reduced Production Exten sion Dairyman at As College Explains in Report. Sharp increases in buttcrfat prices during the past two weeks have been largely a result of a decrease in pro duction, E. C. Scheidcnhelm, exten sion dairyman at the agricultural col lege, said in his monthly report, Ne braska cows on test showed a lower ed production for January. Dairy animals in Nebraska aver aged 28.5 pounds fat during the month. This is a decrease of 2.1 per cent under December and C.S percent under the corresponding time a year ago. Culling in dairy herd improve ment association circles showed a de cided increase. "Dairymen had to get rid of mar ginal cows which quickly came on them due to the marked increase in the price of grains," Scheidenhelm said. "Some cows which were profit able last winter are big money losers this season. January culling was the highest reported since last April." High grain prices and low butter- fat prices during the fore part of the last period also put more cows on test than a year ago. Figures show an increase of 8.S psreent. During the next few month3 another increase in number of herds on test is expect ed. Madison-Cuming-Wayne lead the state associations in butterfat produc tion in January, with an average of 33.1 pounds on 228 cows. Earl Rot tier is the tester. The Cornhusker association was second, Hamllton-Kall-Merrick third and Sc ward-York-Polk fourth. Joe Shalla of Odell, an outstanding dairyman, had the high herd in the five to fifteen cow class whlie in the sixteen cows or more division, Donald Ilaggart of Grand Island hi:d the high herd. Fred Lei bers cf Ben not, member of the Corn husker association, owned the high est butterfat producing cow in Ne braska for the month, a grade Hol f:tein who produced 105.0 pounds of buttcrfat on two daily milkings. Hol comb end Meyer of Clay Center own ed the 'Jecord high cow. DISABLED VETERANS' CHIEF IN HOSPITAL Columbia, S. C, Feb. 21.
