DEMOCRATS "TURN OVER"
FUNDS FOR WITNESS FEES
(From a Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN. Jan. 23 -(Special. Demo
crats took on a little courage yesterday
and now bellve they have the material
to go before the people and stand some
show of winning this fall. They appear
to be exceedingly happy and at the same
time astonished to discover that two
state officials have turned Into the state
treasury the sum of $8.40.
The two officials are State Auditor
Smith and Insurance Coramlsioner East
ham. The money was received for wit
ness fees for appearing In a case wherein
they had to use data belonging to the
state and make It under oath relative to
certain Insurance matters.
Just why these officials should be
tiolsted upon the plnacle of the temple
for doing the business of the state for
which they were elected to do and which
In the natural course of their duties it
was their duty to do. Is not known, unless
the act of turning over the state's money
' entirely unexpected of a democratic
official. Anyhow, they are "going to
turn It over." and therefore democrats
can once more in their platform "point
with pride."
, Want-Ads never shirk their work they
will get results, If anything will.

CAMPBELL BOOSTS

community. In other words the state
superintendent tells us that the school
district Is In the hands of the people, a
pure democracy, and therefore the people
uinmseives are responsible for the prog
ress of the schools.
"Them Is need of work along rural
school lines, effective work. The rural
schools have been decreasing In at
tendance, also In population, until three
sevenths of the schools of the state were
operating last year with from one to
twelve children. Many of the district
could not afford a school of proper length
undor a properly prepared teacher. The
co-operative plan was advised. The
bringing together of two or more weak
districts, having a district of such sise
as the people of the community deemed
most advisable. This would enable the
people to get 100 cents worth out of every
dollar spent In the Interests of the
school.
Results Are' Visible.
"The state superintendent's office co
operating with the rural people of the
state, became a great promotion bureau
promoting the general welfare of the
schools of ti e state. What we moat Ilka
to see la results, and these we have at
the present time. As a result of the wsrlt
a large number of schools have con
solidated and have formed co-operative
school districts. These schools are now
found in both the eastern and western
portions of the state and are a success.
But perhaps the most startling fact Is
the large number of rural high schools.
The state ' superintendent's department
will be able In a short time to give tha
exact number, but It 1 estimated that
fully 800 districts have felt the force of
the program and that in the neighbor
hood of 2,00) rural students are now
pursuing high school subjects who could
not have found it possible a year ago.
"The state superintendent hag as a part
of his program for next year the arrange
ment of a course of study adapted to the
rural conditions and divided into terms
In such a manner that new classes may
be formed at the opportune time and
reviews carried such as the larger boys
and girls of the country districts may
wish to pursue."
Votes Approval of
Bigger Army Plan
WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. An en
dorsement of Secretary Garrison's
efforts toward enlargement of the
national military forces was voted
yesterday at the National Security
league meeting with the reservations
that the regular mobile army should
be even greater than that contem
plated In the War department plan
and that adequate national defense
would depend ultimately upon "uni
versal obligatory military training
and service."
A greater building program for
the navy than bas been outlined by
the Navy department was urged as
essential in another resolution
adopted.
Steps to co-ordinate the work of the
various organisations seeking greater
armament were endorsed and It was un
derstood tonight that definite plana had
been made for a general consolidation
of such organisations In a defense lesgue
with Kobert Baron, former secretary of
state, as Its president.

FINE DISPLAY FOR THE PUBLIC
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Jan. SX t Special. -Tite
forty-seventh annual meeting of the Ne:
braska State Horticultural society, held
here last week showed that horticultural
pursuits are becoming of more Importan -e
each year to an ever Increasing number
of Nebraska people. '
The sesslona opened Tuesday morning
with an address by the president of Hie
society on K. M. Pollard of Nehawka, on
the work of the society for the last yenr
and the plans for the' coming year. Tne
society In Us forty-seven years of active
work, he said, haa done more than any
other agepcy to make Nebraska known a'
a producer of hortlcultuial products thai
cannot be excelled by those grown In
any other section. It Is working hand-ln-hand
with the department of horticulture
at tho university In disseminating the
latest Information on the best methods
of growing horticultural crops, to the
people of the state.
In an illustrated lecture. Dr. CI. E.
Condra of the State Conservation com
mission showed pictures of wild flowers
and wild fruits that are the equal and
superior In some Instsnces of tamo frulta
and flowers of tho same kinds. Native
fruits and flowers, he said, that are In
danger of extinction should b conserved
and saved. It was declared that th-
Missouri river bluff country was the
greatest apple region in the world. The
loess soil is the richest soil found any
where and is naturally adapted to tho
production of a high quality fruit. No
better opportunities awaited the frdlt
grower than those found In the Missouri
river valley.. J ' '
Co-operation and Its ; benefits "to -ths
fruit grower was discussed at length by
C. O. Marshall, former manager of the
Central Fruit Orowers' association.
Methods of controlling and eradicating
ranker of the apple tree were outlined and
pictures Illustrating the methods was
shown. Good care and preventative
measures will keep any orchard free of
this disease.
Market Depends Good Pratt.
Marketing fruit as well as the growing
of it was thoroughly discussed. In being
able to market a product for the best
price It Is essential that the product be
grown right In the first place and then
graded and packed right before being
placed upon the market The Nebraska
grower has everything In his favor and
when he adopts the best methods of
growing packing and grading his product
he will head the market.
