Lifting the Lid.
The Lincoln Journal starts to "lift
the lid" in a series of articles on
"War Cost and Profiteering." Mr.
Siebold of the New York World has
been working on these articles for
the past six months and the raising
of the voluntary censorship makes
their publication now possible. These
artcles are what the people are wait
ing for and should cause a sensation.
People who got the money. How
they got it and why. You will surely
want to read about it. The daily
and Sunday paper will be sent one
month on trial for sixty cents, or a
full year for $6.00. Address State

Rev, S. A. Draise, Pastor
Tho joint centenary training con
feronco held at Norfolk last Thurs
day and Friday was well attended
and the plans for the great centen
ary movement are now in tho hands
of every charge on tho Norfolk dis
trict. Tho centenary of tho Metho
dist church is the greatest thing that
has ever como to tho christian
church. Other denominations aro
catching tho spirit and aro starting
similar movements. Men of vision
realize that a marvelous opportunity
is now presented to the churches and
they dare not fail to do their part
in tho reconstruction of tho world.
True world democracy will never
como until men know thu Father
hood of God and tho Brotherhood of
Men. Right now tho world is get
ting tho thought as never before.
The event! of the past few months
aro only forerunners of tho great
triumph of righteousness and tho
coming kingdom of our God.
Tho principles for which our sold
iers have fought liavo also been
taught by their character and life
until now tho world will never bo
satisfied without tho sumo principles.
That opens a great door of opportun
ity to Christianity. Tho church will
not fail to meet it.

Doolikecping on tho Farm
Ten thousand copies of tho re
vised farm record book have just
been delivered to the Farm Manage
ment Demonstrations of tho Depart
ment of Rural Economics of tho
University of Nebraska. Last year
13,000 copies of tho farm record book
were called for by farmers. The
farm record book promises to be 'in
even greater demand this year than
last, because farmers are "becoming
interested in studying their business
and because of tho fact that tho in
come tax law has made it essential
that farmers keep a record of the
farm business. Tho agricultural
agent representing tho County Farm
Bureau will keep a supply of this
record book which the fanners may
secure at cost. It has been found
that many men desire a little help in
beginning a farm record. Tho ag
ricultural agent, who is in close
touch with tlie farmers, is tho log
ical person to distribute farm rec
ord books. Tho Farm Management
Demonstrations will not send out rec
ord books to farmers except to men
living in counties not served by an
agricultural agent.
Wcll-riiiiined .Meals
"Well-Planned Meals," a bulletin
by Julia Vance of tho Homo Econom
ics Department of tho University of
Nebraska, has been reprinted for
free distribution. This bulletin has
had wide circulation. It briefly dis
cusses foodstuffs, how food is meas
ured, conditions influencing tho in
dividual requirement, how to choose
a family dietary, suggestive menus,
etc. This bulletin is woll worth tho
reading by anyone interested in food.
It may lie. obtained free by address
ing' the Extension Service, Univers
ity Farm, Lincoln, Neb., or from any
county agent or homo demonstration
agent.
Iii't'p Lightweight Hogs
Tho federal fdod administration
urges tho keeping of lightweight hogs
on the farm until they reach propor
marketing weight. All hogs weigh
ing under 150 pounds were included
last week in "throwouts" from pack
ers' droves by an order of tho food
administration, It was said this ac
tion was designed to keep from tho
market all hogs too light for export
and iiUo to maintain tho present
price of $17.50 for heavyweights.
Tho retaining by farmers of tho light
hogs until they weigh more is de
clared of prime importance as all
pork which can bo produced in the
next few months will bo urgently
needed to supply tho wants of the
export progrum of pork products,
