returned this morning from a 2,700
mile auto trip, taking in all the prin
cipal cities ot the east and returning
by the way of Washington. "The
war preparations are on in full swing
in the eastern cities and one sees
more soldiers than anything else.
As a whole the trip was an enjoyable
one, though the rain made it disa
greeable traveling part of the time,"
Mr. Duggan stated Earl
("Dutch") Boynton, proprietor of
the "Peerless inn" 1019 Fourth
street, was found guilty of keeping
a disorderly house in police court
yesterdy, and fined $100 or thirty
days. His attorney, George Yeaman,
said the case will be appealed. Thirty-two
other persons, who were ar
rested in his place when it was raid
ed by Detective Fred Spencer, Pa
trolmen A. F. Luke and Louis John
son, forfeited bonds of $15 each after
Boynton was found guilty, and tlje
funds of the city coffer were increas
ed by $480. The officers testified
that, a bell was rung when they en
tered the place, and that it was a
general alarm that the "cops" were
coming. This evidence was ruled
out as immaterial. Whisky, whisky
bottles and glasses were exhibited
by the officers as evidence. Mr.
Yeaman contended that the city has
no right to prosecute liquor cases and
asks for a dismissal on tho grounds
that such a ruling has been made by
the supreme court. Rose Choato,
whose place at 2500 West Third
street, was raided by the officers last
Saturday night, was found guilty
and a fine of $100 or thirty days was
imposed. Officers in this case testi
fied that Patrolman Ray Bliss, who
was caught in the raid, attempted
to escape when he saw his brother
officers approaching. Several bot-

The corner stone of tho new agri
cultural engineering hall was laid
last week. No special cerimonies
marked the event. Reinforced con
crete construction has been substi
tuted for steel and the building will
bo pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible. The engineering hall,
which will be one of the largest
structures on the farm campus of

Straw stacks arc too valuable to
be burned. According to figures
supplied by tho chemistry depart
ment of the Nebraska Collego of
Agriculture, the fertilizing value of
wheat straw is $2.00 and of oat
straw $3.10 per ton for tho potash,
nitrogen and phosphorus they con
tain, lhis is entirely over and
above 1. i- value of tho straw in sup
plying oiganic matter to the soil.
All straw not used for feed or bed
ding will pay big dividends on the
labor of hauling it out.

the Gage County Crop Improvement
association, or Farm Bureau, met
last week in the office of the county
agent to discuss the corn-husking
problem. Definite action was taken

bureau will act as leaders of local
labor bureaus and report the needs
of townships to the county agent.

thought (5 cents to 7 cents per bushel
a very fair wage for this season's
husking.

porker's trough through to tho
table" this. isjtfae plea of the dairy
men, .who are urging that more
