Omaha World-Herald. 2nd: "Hon
est, mister, I ain't no German sym
pathizer! I don't spmpathize with
nobody but myself." This tearful
plea and a complete lack of reason to
doubt the man's protestations of
loyalty resulted Monday night in the
immediate release of George Sadler,
who was brought down from Sioux
City Monday by Deputy United
States Marshal Morgan, as a suspi
cious character. In Marshal Flynn's
office shortly after his arrival the
tall, gaunt suspect, who was born in
Jacksonville, Fla., and has some
negro blood in his veins, told a Bad
tale. He was walking across the
Missouri river bridge at South Sioux
City when the guayds challenged
him, ordering him to halt. "I sure
thought it was a stick-up, and I fan
ned myself out of there right pert!"
explained Mr. Saddler. "They com-
1 menced shootin' at me and the more

they shot the faster I went. Then I
hit a barbed wire fence and thev
grabbed me. I don't know what
this-all's about!" The Sioux City
deputy explained that the bridge
guards were having trouble with
suspects loitering about at night,
and were outfor blood. Upon rec
ommendation of Marsall Eberstein,
of the department of justice. Sadler
was allowed to go home, with orders
to report to a United States officer
every once in a while. Sadler agreed
to enli3tin the army while in Omaha,
but the colored regiments are said
to be full.

and successful methods employed by
successful farmers and breeders.

POTATO CULTURE
The growing of potatoes as an
emergency crop to meet the impend
ing food shortage is discussed in
Emergency Bulletin Nor 5, just is
sued by the Extension Service of the
College of Agriculture. Increased
production of potatoes is recom
mended because of their importance
as a human food, the present short
age of food, and the relative ease of
production. The bulletin contains
full instructions as to preparation
6f soil, choice of varieties, selection
of seed, planting and spacing, culti
vation, and control of diseases. It
will be sent free upon application to
the Extension Service, Lincoln.
1'OULTItY FOR EACH FAMILY
Three hens set now with 15 eeres
each will make the average family
Independent of the cold storage egg
merchant next winter, according to
College of Agriculture poultry hus
bandry specialists. These eggs will
hatch, on an average, 25 live chicks
of which 12 will be pullets. With
proper care, they will lay four dozen
eggs weekly, the amount consumed
by the average family.
Two piano boxes placed back to
back make a poultry house large
enough to winter twelve pullets.
Such boxes cost $2 each. The cost
of feed required to raise pullets will
bo offset by the income from the
sale of cockerels. Moreover, table
scraps (nearly a million dollors worth
of which is wasted annually) can be
utilized.
PREVENTION OF PLANT DISEASES
"It is particularly important this
year that losses from plant diseases
be prevented as far as possible,"
says the head of the agricultural
botany department of the state
university. "Prevention is the first
and often the most important step
in disease control.
"Farmers, gardeners, and fruit
growers are urgently requested to
report the first appearance of any
disease symptoms, so that proper
measures of control may be suggest
ed. If possible, send specimens and
information about the disease to the
department of agricultural botany,
University Farm, Lincoln, which
will gladly supply available infor
mation as to treatment."
CANNING HEGINS
The 1917 canning season has be
gun. Asparagus, rhubarb, and dan
delions are now ready for the house
wife to put up for winter use, and
other products from the garden will
also be ready soon. The present
food shortage, which promises to
become acute next winter, will be
overcome in some degree if each
familv lias a larcre sunnlv nf cnnnorl
stuffs for winter use. Products
which would otherwise go to waste
will thus be saved. Full directions
for cannintr will hn Hnnf-. frpn imnn

mnn food, beans are recommended as
a "war crop" to replant winter killed
crops in Nebraska. According to a
now bulletin issued by the Agricul
tural Extension Service, they are
not only rich in protein but especi
ally nourishing. The climate and
soil of Nebraska, especially of the
western part of the state, are favor
able to bean production. Full par

CANE REPLACES CORN
In case patches of corn are de
stroyed by too much rain, replanting
with cane as late as the first of July
is recommended by the department
of animal husbandry of the Universi
ty of Nebraska. Cane is an appe
tizing feed for stock, produces a
crop in a short growing season, and
gives a large yield. Furthermore,
it is very hardy.
Looking Backward.
Sioux City Journal, April 22, 1897:
William Adair Tuesday celebrated his
eighteenth adversary as a mail
clerk between Sioux City and Omaha.
Ho has never had a vacation except
what has been fJrced by illness of
himself or family.
Ponca Journal, April 25, 1878: We
heard a fellow the other day, expati
ating on the difference between Pon
ca and Jackson whisky. He had
been sampling large quantities of
the former article, which he pro
nounced first-rate. He said that the
only effect Ponca snakebite produced
on him was a desire to bite off a few
noses and gougo out an eye or two.
One drink of Jackson whisky, he
said, would produce this effect, coup
led with a strong desire to go out on
the street and holler. Two drinks
were sufficient to guarantee nine
black eyes. Three snorts made a
man think he was a raving Bengal
tiger or Numidian lion whose chief
aim was to roar and claw. The
fourth horn changed him into an en
gine of destruction, an animated in
fernal machine, with a ragipg ambi
tion to prance up and down this
terrestrial ball and destroy-the whole
human race. To the man who had
the hardihood to take the fifth de
coction, Beelzebub appeared in all
his glory, with a red hot tail eleven
feet long, flaming mouth and snakes
crawling out of his ears. Our infor
mant said that he had gone thus far
in the ascending scale, and was con
fident that the sixth drink would
cause a man to become intimately
acquainted with the home of the last
mentioned personage.
Sioux City Journal, April 28, 1877:
Dakota City, Neb., is without a
store. The village contains 500 resi
dents, and is located in the best set
tled and most wealthy county in
northeastern Nebraska. The town
is inhabited by an excellent class of
people, and the farming community
and stock growers are all well to do.
A good, energetic businessman with
a small capital could do a fair busi
ness at this point.
