Duncan stated Friday that he bad not Intended to make any definite statement as to the manner in which draft boards might assist in the observance of the day. He said that he felt that the draft boards had performed their duties during the trying period of the real mobilization in such an efficient manner and had so completely met the variety of problems that presented themselves that it was unnecessary to do more than indicate the general result de sired. General Duncan said that he hoped that the draft hoards and the local committee* would agree upon some practicable method of procedure to ; ecure the desired results on defense day.

By EDUARD BLACK. When friends of Mr. and Mrs. John Latenser visited their country home north of Florence a few days ago they strolled around the grounds and noted two Corinthian columns, salvaged from a former bank building of this city. They observed the nest of a Baltimore oriole In a tree nnd also spied a how-shaped depression, which marks the home of aborigines. In the pasture they saw two work horses, a riding horse, a Juvenile mule and Billy. Mrs. Latenser said she would not wish to test the cre dulity of anyone by relating some of the exploits and escapades of Billy, but there Is so much corroborative evidence, that the story of Billy must remain In the records. Billy Is a Kentucky Morgan horse which has been in the Latenser household for 30 years, and for the last 10 years has been on the pension list, with nothing to do but enjoy life. When the Latensers lived at Thirty third and Poppleton avenue years ago, they had some friends—the Careys—who were In the stock busi ness in Bouth Omaha. The Careys brought two Morgan ponies from Montana, one for the Latenser chil dren, the animal being the same Billy which now cavorts In the Latenser pasture north of Florence. The Latensers would not sell Billy, because for many years this faithful animal carried the Latenser rhildren on Its hack and was almost human. Befriends Hungry Companions. Billy has not only sagacity but a sense of humor. Age does not seem to -worry him at all. He is almost as full of his tricks today ns 20 years ago. During the night time last week Bil ly unfastened the gate leading from the pasture to the lawn and stood against this gate while three other horses and a young mule passed through and then he followed his companions, the pasture gate swing ing back when he moved away. Billy then went to the window of John Latenser and whinnied as If gloating over some, clever idea. When Mr. Latenser went to the lawn he found five animals enjoy ing fresh grass. On various other occasions Billy has opened the pas ture gate by lifting the metal rlasp and then holding the gate hack while his associates went through. This gate Is hung so that It swings to a closed position unless held or fastened back. That detail should worry Billy. I'nties All Knots. The foreman of the Latenser farm Is devising new patterns of fasten ings ;o keep Billy In the pasture. This horse can untie any kind of knot providing the rope is large enough for him to grasp with his teeth. Dur ing the summer the foreman tied two work horses In the pasture so that he would have them at hand when needed at noon. When he went to get the team he found them loose with Billy, and their ropes unfastened. On another occasion Billy went Into the stable and released these work horses. Billy seems to delight In re leasing his four companions and hav ing them share any project on hand. On several occasions he has opened the oat bin and enjoyed a meal .with out over eating; then he would open the water faucet and have a drink. Balk* at Rail Crossing. Tears ago, Frank I^atenser and the Carey boy drove Billy with a buggy to Gretna, where they hunted. On the return trip the boys went to sleep In ths buggy and when they awoke Billy was standing at a railroad cross ing, hesitating whether to proceed. Billy has a sleek appearance today. The casual observer would never think the hdree is more than 30 years old. In the Latenser pasture Billy's particular playmate Is a mule about six months old. This mule and Billy cut up like a pair of colts, one run ning after the other and then revers ing the order. • Frank Batenser and John Batenser, Jr., go out to the farm on Sundays and occasionally pet Billy, the faith ful horse which carried them many times In their boyhood days.

By WILL M. MALTIN. Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 29.—Still riding the front end of an inspection engine, I arrived in Lincoln at 9:45 Friday morning, thus completing an Inspec tion trip over the South Platte coun try covering an actual distance of more than 1,200 miles. Starting from Omaha at 7 the morn ing of August 24. th» Inspection tour covered the Burlington main line to McCook. One never gets the best view of a country while traveling the main line of a railroad, but in this particular case, the view was one to gratify the eoul of man. It was seemingly through one vast cornfield, With wheat fields in between to vary the monotony. Huge stacks of wheat were to be seen all along the route, peering above the fields of tall corn. The amoke of threshers was never absent from the horizon, and loaded wagons and trucks laden with wheat and hurrying to market made an allmost endless procession. The July 1 estimate of Nebraska’s corn crop was too low at that time. I am of the opinion that on July 1 the crop was underestimated at least 25, 000,000 bushels. This is mentioned for the purpose of relieving the anx iety of those who believe that the hot weather of the past week had seriously cut the production. Of course It hurt, but even at that the production will be more than equal to the July 1 estimate. From this I gather that despite the bad spell we will still have all the corn we ex pected to have. Overcome by Wheat. There are some bed spot* In the South Pfatte territory, but they are small In area and In a section of country that Is accustomed to small yields except In very favorable years. But the loss there is more than com pensated for by the enormous crop of wheat harvested. From McCook northwest to Im perial, Chase county, a distance of 90 miles, the country Is a veritable garden. Thousands of persons In eastern Nebraska Imagine that Chase county la desert country. Nothing could be further from the truth. It la one of the richest farming sections of Nebraska. Last year more than 1.100 cars of corn were shipped out of Chase county. The production this year will be greater because a greater acreage was put lb. Shoestring Into Bank Roll. Just a sample of what youth and willingness to work will do In Chase county is shown by Will Clayburg. Clayhurg was employed upon one of 'the Kilpatrick Bros, rarhes In Chase county when the war broke out. He answered the call, and when he was ready to embark he wired Robert Kil patrick at Beatrice that he was broke and needed clgaret money. Kllpntrlck wired him 125. Oversr s, t'layburg saved his army pay, having no de pendents. and sent the money to his empfoyer for safekeeping. After his discharge he returned to Chase roun:y and took charge of the ranch where he had formerly worked for wage*. The day I visited his farm he had 32,000 bushels of wheat stored on 1 Is place, and had marketed about 6,000 bushels. By the way, Billy Clayburg Is un married. I mention this fact for the benefit of some of Nebraska's genuine glrla who may be looking for the right kind of a husband. Reluming to Mct’ook. the Inspec tion covered the Republican Valley line to Orleans, over the St. Francis branch to Heaver City and return to Orleans, thence eastward, northward, southward, eastward, northward, and so on until praejlrslly every mile of the Burlington's branches In the South Platte territory had ben covered. No Blues in Nebraska. Everywhere I met men of all voca tions—farmers, bankers, merchants, lawyers, section men, draymen—and It was one continual song of happi ness and content. Bankers reported frosen securities melting and deposits growing. Merchants reported reviving business. Farmers reported satisfac tion with conditions and a renewed faith in the future. It there was any particular discon tent In all the vast territory covers*! on on* of the most delightful tr ps I have ever taken, certainly 1 w rikl have heard It. But. with the ext»p tlnn of one relic of the old days who showed up at Pallande with a whine about Wall street and the robber cor poration*. and one exhibition of sh domlnsl convulsions by *n ex-offuo hobler now living In southwestern Nebraska, I heard nothing but the chorus of prosperity.

"I attended day and night school in order to learn English. After I had mastered the language I took a position as chemist with Swift & Co., still working at the restaurant at ight. I had studied chemistry in Denmark. I worked at the restaurant for my board. Then I started as clerk at one of the basket stores and became manager. When I had $500 saved I opened the Flatiron cafe with Mrs. Ada C. Cooke in partnership. After a year and a half I sold out my Interest and journeyed back to Den mark to see if I liked Omaha better.
