The entire contents of the latter was consumed' while a lot of flour and other feed stuffs in the adjoining building was made use less by smoke and water. The fire had evidently started in the print shop and had gotten such a start that it was impossible to stop it or save any of the material in the build ing. The contents were insured for $1,000. Mr. Warner is of the opin ion that the fire started from a leaky gas lamp as there was no fire in the stove and no other way of it catching. The building owned by McMonies was not insured and was not worth a great deal and Ed was more con cerned over the loss of tho two large trees just west of the building than ho wasover the building itself. This othco printed extras for Mr. Warner Friday. There was a sufficient amount of insurance on the stock of goods held by tho Farmers' Union. For Sale A few more good Boars, at bar gain prices.

FALSE HUMOUR There is nothing to the rumors that home-canned vegetables and fruits are to be inspected or confis cated by the government. Reports received by the Agricultural Exten sion Service of the State University indicate that rumors are being spread abroad in tho fstate, by per sons misinformed or of pro-Germsn sympathies, that inspectors are go ing to either take or tax the supply of home product. The government proposes to stop hoarding products in warehouses but this does not ap ply to products made for home con sumption. CONSEUVINC5 FAHM MACHINERY During tho presont winter Ne braska farmers should give more attention than ever to repairing all machines which can be of service next spring, according to the de partment of agricultural engineer ing of the University of Nebraska. Tho machinery situation also de mands thnt all oiders for new equipment and repair parts be plac ed as soon as possible. All machines should be housed, but if that is im possible, the bearings and all bright parts should receive a coat of heavy oil or grease to prevent rust. Pieces of serviceable equipment, which have been outgrown, may be dis posed of to Smaller farmers In the neighborhood. REGARDING VBTHUINARY WORlv There have been many misunder standings in various sections of the state regarding the amount of vet erinary work that a county agent should be permitted to do. Recent ly a conference of all interested or ganizations, including the veterina rians, was held at which the follow ing ngreement was signed: "That the county agricultural agent be allowed to give his ser vices to the farmers and stockmen when called for, so lone: as ho com plies with the laws of the state of Ncbraskn and the regulations of tho Live Stock Sanitary Board." WINTER CARE OF TIRES If an automobile is used occasion ally during the winter, it will not be necessary to remove the tires, but they should be partially deflated, according to the department of ag ricultural engineering of tho Uni versity of Nebraska. Tho wheels should lip supported by jacks. Tire'' iuld not be left standing on gruisy or wet floors. Grease is injurious t the rubber and moisture to the iaoric. If the car is stored for winter, it should bo jacked up and the tires removed. If there are any cuts in the rubber they should be repaired in order that moisture may not en ter the fabric. During the winter, after the cas ings have been wrapped in paper or burlap to keep them a3 dry as pos sible and to protect them from the sunlight, they should be placed in a dry room with a temperature rang ing between 40 and G5 degrees. In ner tubes should be removed and either be deflated or rolled loosely with a slight air pressure left in them. The tubes should then be given the same care as casings. HCG PRODUCTION WILL 11B PROFIT ABLE Prosnects for nrofitable nork tiro- ductioij were never brighter than at present, with the demand large, the supply limited, and the Food Ad ministration behind the movement. A campasgn has been started in Ne braska with the purpose of effectinir an increase of 20 per cent in the number ot hogs for next year. Tho Food AdmfnistratttmWeaHzes that no farmer feels justified, or is justi fied in enlarging one side of his business without some assurance that such a change will be profitable. Government guarantees give tho hog raiser the best prospect for hog profits that he has yet known. Fats for food and fats for explosives are of decided importance to a fighting nation and there is no doubt but that Nebraska hog men, once ac quainted with the situation, will seize the opportunity to be of ser vice to their country and to their pocketbook at tho same time by breeding one .more sow for every five that farrowed last spring. The Agricultural Extension Service of the State University as. well as field workers engaged in the campaign will give all assistance possible to farmers in carrying out the project.

There will be Sunday school at the Emmanuel church next Sunday at 3:45 p. m. It was so stormy' and cold last Sunday that nobody ven tured out. But it hardly ever oc curs that two such stormy Sundays follow one another. For the same renson there was no preaching at night nor any services at Salem in I the morning where conditions vvero worse. Tho Salem Ladies' Aid will meet fnoxt Thursdny afternoon with Mrs. George Ilirshback, on the island, the first house on tho west side of the road south trom the school house. All arc requested to be present. The chorus practice was 1hebest yet last Fr.day night. There' was not more than half the members present, but we did good work. It is good time- we are getting the mu sic in hand and we are. There are afew difficult places yet but we will get them. Too bad we missed what practice wo would have had last Sun- " day morning, but it can't be helped. One of tho best features of this work t and one which will be of interest to the parents is the young folks, so many of them, are willing to drill so , hnrd. Tho work is delightful. It will be of interest to the church es to know tho behavior of the new ly installed furnace at the parson age during the cold snap. We were very comfortable indeed and did not have to crowd the pla&t. Of course it was not as cold as it will be, but there has been a try out, anyhow. No church ever outlived its use fulness if the gospel is preached in it. The. membership may move away and leave her stranded in the commuity or many other things may result in a weak organization, and it may be that some people have got so far away from the true spirit of the church as to have no use for the church. We have known numerous people who felt they were not good enough to be in the company of church people and we have known a few who were so good and bo wise that they could not find a fit f,!ace for themselves in tho church, 'i l.eso are two extremes. But th hurch has not lost her usefulnein '.n any case. In the first! instan'te it ia J just common sin, and' in the second case it is self righteousness which is deeper than just common sin. In either case the church is a useful institution if men will make use of it. It is a matter of comparative t usefulness. For those who find a place there, it is always helpful. The church never outgrows its use fulness so long as sin abides in the heart of men, if sin and redemption is preached thru Jesus Christ. If we get away from it its need is all the more established. When sin no longer is with us wo still will find her useful for the glory of God. Tho main points of the preaching is not the interpretation of the times save as it has to do with repentance and the need of tho Savior, and our submission to him.
