This word was re ceived yesterday by Ward Evans, at t6rney for South Sioux City. Acon flict as to authority to reduce the tolls has developed. By the original charier under which the bridge was erected the council of Sioux City had the sole power to regulate the charge. An act of congress since the grant ing of the bridge charter placed the fixing of tolls under the jurisdiction of the war department. City Attor ney Evans has submitted to the war department a proposition to leave the fixing of the tolls with the city council, as provide'd in the original charter. If no agreeable reduction of toll3 is granted it is stated that another attempt to take over the bridge and to establish a free toll .will be made.. Several" propositions as to how the transfer should be made have been advanced, and pe titions for the purchase of the bridge by the city have been circulated, but no definite steps have been taken". Efforts at the present are directed toward procuring reduced toll and not toward buying the bridge or establishing free toll. Pender Republic: Hannah M. Lamont was born in Schoharie coun ty, New York. March 1G, 183G. She was of a large family, having six sisters and two brothers, all of whom preceded her to the great beyond. She was married to John D. Rolph March 7, 18G5. Mr. and Mrs. Rolph came soon after their marriage to Waterloo, la., where they made their home for nearly eighteen years where they engaged in farming. They came to Mount Vernon, S. D., in the spring of 1883; from South Dakota they moved to Oakland, Neb., in 1898, and from there to Pender, Neb., in the spring of 1912, settling on a farm adjoining the vil lage where they have since resided until last fall when they moved to South Sioux City and have since lived with their daughter, Ruby Phillips, and from where Mrs. Rolph moved to her heavenly home. To this union were born three children, Ruby A. Phillips, of South Sioux City, Neb.; Carrie L. Bassman, of Claremore, Okla., and Lou Adel Baker, of Pender., Neb. Sister Rolph departed this life at the home of her daughter, Ruby, in South Sioux City, March 14, 1918, and had she lived two days longer would have been 82 years old. The funeral was held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Phillips, March 15. and was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Warne, of Pender, and the remains were laid to rest in the Graceland ceme tery in Sioux City, la. Farm Notes. Issued by. the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture. MAKING A H0TI1ED Anyone who intends to plant a garden of any size of 50 to 100 feet will find a hotbed desirable, accord ing to the department of horticul ture of the University of Nebraska. The following hints will be valua ble: The north wall of the frame should be 24 inches high and the south wall 18 inches, giving the sash when plac ed on the frame a G-inch slope to tho south. Tho pit should bo dug 15 inches deep and should be tho size of the frame. The bottom should be level. The preparation of tho manure must begin a week or ten days be fore planting time. In case the ma nure does not heat, a few buckets of water distributed over the pilo will start it heating. Then it should be forked over into a new, pile. In a few days it will heat again and when thoroly heated ia ready to bo placed into tho nit. Tho ma nure should bo shaken out, broken up and distributed evenly about tho bed at a depth of about 15 inches. It should be nut in 5-inch layers and each layer firmly tamped. Sprinkle with water if it is too dry. Uovcr with good rich loam four to six inches deep. The sash is then put in place and tho bed will be ready for planting in a week. ACRE DAY A statewide "Acre Day" is being suggested as a means of increasing Nebraska's fo,pd supply this summ er. Under tho plan the men in the small towns in the state would each rent an acre of ground and agree to care for it during the summer. One day every week would be observed as Acre Day" when tho stores and business houses would close and every man spend tho day working on his acre. It is believed that du ring inr : of the summer business is not .i , ng enough but that the bushier week could be shortened one day. Besides helping out the food supply of the nation, each man would derive a nice income for his summer's work. The agricultural extension service sujrirests that some of the extra labor of the towns might be made available to the farmers, either by offering" workers part time during rush seasons or by rearrang ing town work so that a portion of town workers could move to tho farm. CAMOUFLAGE MJTTEU The high prico of butter has given opportunity to interest housewives again in a familiar scheme variously known as "making two pounds of butter out of one," "wonderful but ter increaser" or magic butter- maker." It is generally pointed out that two pounds of butter can bo made out of one pound of butter ISB I Triggs9 New Restaurant and Pool ..- -' .

Thero is nothing, new about this device, according to the dairy department of the Univer sity of Nebraska, since it has been sold in different parts of the country off and onor at least thirty or forty yerirs. According to law, butter must con tain at least 82 per cent butter fat, and not to exceed 1G percent water, which, of course, would not bo the case if skim milk or water were mixed with it. It is, therefore, ille gal to offer such a product for sale as butter. It is simply another way of adding water or milk to the but terthe same results might bo ac complished by spreading the butter about half as thick, as far as actual nourishment is concerned.
