Mur tey of Cass has introduced a bill in the lower house which is intended to surround tile -slate guaranty banking law with greater 'safeguards. The bill, according to Mr. Murtey will take the guaranty law out of the realm of politics and place it on a permanent business basis. He insists that the present law is only a limited guaranty, yet many hanks arc allowed to represent that itv is an absolute guaranty. The bill is aimed principally at the banking promoter and would prevent such a man from representing, when starting a banking corporation that all other state banks are going his se curity. He opposes the idea of allow ing the State Banking board, which he insists is usually under the influ ence of one man, to assume the right to say who shall go into the banking business.

V 1 play Havo in West WAGE EAENER MAY HELP SPECIAL RATES FOR HAY AN APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAY When the Stomach, Liver and Bowels re bel and Refuse to perform their regular func tions, Play fair, Give Nature the help required, by trying HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS The Hungerford Potato Growers' association is a newly incorporated concern in Omaha, which plans to sell farms to the wage earners and then farm the farm for the buyers' profit besides. The association is the owner of several thousand acres of land in the northwestern part of the state, which it will now sell out in five-acre tracts. It is said to be excellent potato land. and potatoes are to be the principal csnp. The land, according to offi cials of the company, has been pro ducing from 1st) to JOO bushels ot po tatoes to the acre. i However, the association says that it does not make use of these higher figures in arriving at the estimates of what can he made per year. Neither is the present high price of potatoes used as a basis tor their calculation. hut they are more conservative than that. It is pointed out. however, that at 100 bushels per acre, and at a con servative price per bushel even much below the present price of potatoes, the purchaser should be able to pay for his land in two years from the profits of his crop alone. People's Association. It is planned to make it strictly a people's association. The building and loan plan of operation is followed and applied to purchases of farm land instead of merely to the purchase or building of a city home. The idea is a new one. The land in five-acre tracts is to be sold to the wage earner on monthlv payments. The company will then farm the tracts for the purchaser on a large scale, on a co-operative basis, and with the most modern machinery. By having many of these tracts in one locality to farm, the company be lieves it can make use of modern machinery and do the farming on a large scale with such equipment as the small farmer could not afford to have on hand for the cultivation of merely his individual farm. 1 Ins, it is maintained, will reduce the cost of labor about 75 per cent. To Rotate Crops. They expect to rotate the crops. getting every penny the land will pro duce, but the potato is to be looked to as the principal crop. Northwest Ne braska potatoes are known all over the country. The purchaser is to have two-fifths of the profits each year to apply on the payments. The association is incorporated for $50,000. Arab L. Hungerford is presi dent and manager, Edward P. Snow den is secretary and treasurer, and in addition the following are on the board of directors: G. J. Hungerford, Earl W. Snowden and H. S.

According to the railroad reports reaching Omaha, the cattle men of Wyoming are beginning to feel some anxiety over the live stock situation in that state. There xhavc been few, if any losses so far, but indications are that there will he soon unless there is a let-up in the severe weather. The feed situation is what is the most alarming. As a rule, the thrifty cattle man figures one ton of hay per animal during the winter. Generally on the ranges and at the ranches, this quan tity of hay was put up last season, hut owing to the severity of the win ter and the unusually heavy fall of snow, most of the hay has been fed. The heavy snow has kept cattle off the range and close feeding has been the rule for weeks. The railroads have taken hold of the situation and have put in emer gency rates on both hay and grain for western Nebraska and Wyoming points. Large quantities are being shipped with the hope of relieving the situation before losses are heavy. Under the rates now in effect, Wyoming and western Nebraska stockmen are paying $9 to $15 for tame and $5 to $8 per ton for wild hay. Throughout western- Nebraska cat tle men send in reports, asserting that this has been the most severe winter in years, not that there has been so much intense cold as at other times, but that the cold has been steady and has continued for weeks without a break. Again, they say there has been an unusual quantity of snow, and that contrary to the experience of former winters, it has remained spread over the ground, instead of blowing away. As a result, the whole of the range has been buried. Getting Old Too Fast?
