the books of the Combination Bridge
company in an effort to reach a
working basis for computing an
equitable toll, as petitioned before
the war department by South Sioux
City residents. 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.

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

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.
