on a charge of assault with intent
to do great bodily injury. The ar
rest was made by Patrolman Gcorgo
Fallon at 5:10 o'clock Saturday after
noon. Homer, Nebr., Special in Sioux
City Journal, 25th: The St. An
thony and Dakota Lumber yard ot
Homer received a coat of yell v
paint and tho word "slackers' .j
painted on the front door of th
building. According to the ru iv
in the streets, the company refused
to "come across" with its assesment
of tho last united war work quota
in Homer and this is said to be the
only case where a firm or person
failed to do their part in the war.
So far no evidence is in sight as to
the painters as far as the public and
town officials know. Every effort
probably will be made to run down
the paint daubers, as this firm claims
to have done its part in the war
drive at its head offices, where it
took and paid for its quota.
Sioux City Tribune, 10th: South
Sioux City council last night directed
tho county attorney of Dakota county
to prepare an occupational tax ordin
ance penalizing the Sioux City Tract
ion Co., for failing to provide ad
equate service in South Sioux City.
Councilman Cownie stated that a 5
per cent occupational tax could be
levied as state supreme court had
ruled in case of Lincoln Traction
Co. Tho new ordinance will pro
vide for this. The further recourse
the council will lay matter of better
service before the Nebraska State
Railway Commission. Councilmcn

done to relieve travel congestion, ac
cording to councilmcn. Mayor
Phillips made a report of his trip to
Lincoln, Nebr., in the interest of
paved highways through South Sioux
City to the combination bridge. Ho
said it had been decided that the
seven north highways should bo
brought to grade this year and hard
surfacing should be started next
year. South Sioux City will bo al
lowed, to surfaco these roads and
share tho expense with the state, lie
said. The occupational tax ordi
nance was moved by Councilman
Cownie and seconded by Fred Gordon.

Northern railroad company. Tho in-
luriuuuuii accuses iveuy ot stealing
tools from tho company South
Sioux City cannot bo accommodated
with better trolley service despite
tho threats of the South Sioux City
council, E. L. Kirk, general manager
of the Sioux City Service company,
announced yesterday. Mr. Kirk de
clared the company Is now operating
below cost and every trolley car of
the system is being used nlmost con
stantly. "South Sioux City has
double servico during tho rush hours,
tho same as our downtown and other
suburban lines," said Mr. Kirk.
"That means a car bdtween South
Sioux City and tho downtown dis
trict every twenty minutes. Con
sidering the population of tho Neb
raska suburb, it is receiving fully as
good servico as any part of Sioux
City." Mr. Kirk stated that it is
impossible for his company to con
struct moro cars or tracks at tho
present tyno because of the high
price and extreme shortago of ma
terials. "Wo are operating the sys
tem at a loss. Most of the larger
cities have been granted an incrca1 o
of 20 to 00 per cent in fares, but we
arc obliged to operate upon tho same
rate. Possibly in tho futuro if wo
are given increased fare on tho trol

Ream, of Dakota City, Neb,, is a med
ical patient at St. Joseph's hospital.
....A postcard from Capt. F. B,
Buck-waiter, dated Cochem, Germany,
January 27, 1910, contains tho follow
ing message: "Drove down tho boau
tiful Mosollo valley this afternoon.
It is wonderful, but tho finest thing
I saw was 'Old Glory' floating over
theso cities. Go to Coblenz, then
Cologne, and then (I wish) -to Sioux
City.".... In an effort to force tho
bloux City Service company to main
tain better servico to South Sioux
City tho Nebrasku suburb's council
has ordered tho preparation of an
occupational tax ordinance, levying
a 5 per cent assessment on the com
pany's holdings In South Sioux City.
i Tho tax, it is said by members of tho
city council, will causo tho traction
company to pay a largo sum as pen-
1 alty for insufficient servico. Further
stops will be taken by reporting lack
of service to the Nebraska stato rail
way commission. "They thought our
protest against rotten service wan a
bluff," said Mayor J. L. Phillips last
night. "Wo warned Mr. Kirk two
weckg ago that if the company did
not live up to tho terms of its fran
chise wo would pass such an ordi
nance levying this tax. Tho compa
ny hasn't furnished the service they
agreed to at any time, except on Sat
urday afternoons. Tho franchise
calls for twenty-niinuto service, three
cars to the hour. Instead they run
two cars an hour, and with the heavv
travel these cars aro crowded beyond
capacity. Tho only tinio they give
us twenty-minute service is on Satur
day afternoons. The rest of tho week
the provisions of the franchise aro
being violated." Mayor Phillips in
Hinatcd that an eleventh-hour repen
tance and promise of better treat
ment in the future might result in
the council's tabling the proposed or
dinance. "Wo'ro not bluffing, how
ever," he stated, "it's cither better
sorvico or penalization for tho lack
of it."
3I1:ASUH1(! AM) (ilUi)lN(i HAY
The only rcolly practical method
of arriving at the contents of a stack
of hay is by weighing it. Where this
is not possible, it sometimes becomes
necessary to measure. For this pur
pose, several rules have been used.
Tho most recognized and highly
used is known as the Montana rule,
adopted by the legislature of that
state. This rule is as follows:
Length times width, times over
throw minus width, divided by two.
i The product will be the contents of
jtho stack in cubit feet. Example:
J A stack is 40 feet long, 12 feet wide,
with an overthrow of 28 feet.
! Solution: 40x12 equals 480; 28
minus 12 equals 1G; 1G divided by 2
j equals 8; 480x8 equals 3840 cubic
I feet in stack.
I To find tho number of tons, divide
the cubic contents in feet by the
, number of cubic feet in a ton. This
varies with the length of time the
hay has been in the stack or mow.
The Montana law covering this reads:
I Stacks 30 days old, 512 cubic feet
-per ton.
liWitucksjGO dayjold, 420 cubic" feet
per ton.
I Stacks 90 days old, 340 cubic feet
per ton.
Inasmuch as largo quantities of hay
are being shipped annually we aro
here giving the market grades of hay

, By Rev C. R. Lowe.
! One would almost bclievo from tho
things which como to us through the
press concerning Germany's arro
gance and general attitude toward
I tho armictico that Germany had won
, the war nnd let her enemy mako tho
terms of peace. Thoy 'talk about
Bolshevism, and what they aro going
to do when it is all settled, nnd that
the Allies better look out, sinco they
aro not beaten yet. The news of tho
signing of the last nrmistico seems
to be printed from German tears in
stead of printers ink. The task was
unnerving and difficult in tho cx
i trcnie for tho German official, and
great crocodllo tears flowed when ho
w'as before tho new German assom
', lily explaining what he had done and
I why. The fact of tho business is wo
ought to expect just such things as
mat irom tliem. Wasn t it tlio kais
er who said, "Wo nro u proud peoplo
and used to victory?" They may bo
still proud, but not so used to vic
tory now.
But onco in n while- there is a good
thing which does not como out of
Germany. February 20 brought us
the nown r an interview with Maxi
milian '!.. in, onco the kaiser's
chancellor, n which wo aro given
some light on tho situation. Of
course ho extols tho peoplo and
blames the emperor, but what inter
ests us is that ho says tho peoplo
wore deceived at tho outset of tho
war as to tho righteousness of tho
cause, believing thcro was an actual
coalition against Germany, and that
those who lost sons and husbands now
refuso to boliovo that Germany was
in tho wrone and that tho Gorman
fWmy practiced inhumanities which
brutes wouldn't. Refuse because it
will take tho dignity out of their
griof. Wo havo to givo them credit
for being proud oven if thoy aro
stubborn.
The fact is that tho leaders know
thoy aro beaten to n standstill, that
tho people do not know it, nnd that
tho leaders seem to fear to make tho
neoplo know it. Tho army must
know it, too, especially thoso who
wero in tho Argono forrest boforo
tho American troops which cleaned
and mopped that region in cloven
days. You probably read General
Troub's report beforo tho congres
sional committeo last week answer
ing tho charge that men wero need
lessly sacrificed. Lieut. Whitehead,
who spoko in tho Methodist church
last Friday night, told mo something
of the doings there and' What tho
boys went up against. But tho Ger
man peoplo do not know and refuso
to believe.
And sinco thia is tho caso it is no
wonder tho peoplo nro as arrogant as
they arc. Thov cannot understand
why tho terms aro so hard when they
wore victorious. Even the Gorman
assembly docs not seem to compre
hend tho situation. It is hard for us
to apprcciat their position, for wo
nro so used to tako what was trlven to
(them. Max. Harden says It is tho
whole 30 years of Wilhelm's rule that
is responsible for tho present situa
tion. What seems now to bo needed is a
littlo propaganda in Germany to on
lighten tho peoplo on what has been
done. Max. says ho doubts if Franco
ever had any intent to invodo Bel
gium, nnd that if sho had, England
would not havo permitted her to do
it. Knowing why England went into
the wnr, wo boliovo Max. has at least
one correct idea. Ho, says'Our peo
ple did not understand Groat Britain,
Franco and Russin had no other ob
ject than to protect themselves
ngainso tho adverse designs of the
kaiser." Go ahead, Max., publish
your "Dio Zukunft" and toll tho peo
ple tho things you know, it will
stand thorn in stead against tho long
ago threatened "next war." It will
cpuntoract tho "teaching that has poi
soned tho youth," and "tho spirit of
militarism that has soaked into tho
people."
Tlio Gorman nrroganco from tho
German side is bonafide. Thoy
probably mean what thoy say. No
doubt thoy do rc-nt their treatment.

ment never killed anybody yet, and
it may bo an eye-opener to thoir
place in tho estimation of tho world
nnd why thoy aro whero they are.
They will como sooner' or later to
know thnt "for which tho world will
never forgiv'o Germnny."
Tho allies do not need to fear tho
threats of Germnny. Her orroganco
may be distasteful, but it never whip

FAltM BUREAU NOTES
U. It. Young-, County Agent
Tho organization meeting of tho
Dakota County livo stock breeders
association at Dakota City last Fri
day was well attended. Mr. C. S.
Buckley, a prominent Short Horn
breeder, was made president of tho
now association. Mr. Buckloy was,
until very recently, president of the
Tri-Stato Short Horn Breeders' As
sociation. Tho purpeso of tho organization Is
to improve tho livo stock In tho
county, to establish highor standards
of efficiency and utility among pure
bred breeders, to assist thoso who
aro breeding in disposing of their
surplus animals, to encouragd others
to engago In tho puro bred business,
and to untto tho many branches of
herd and flock husbandry now In tho
county.
Our noxt meeting will bo at tho
County Agent's office, at 1:30 p. m.
Friday, March 7. Every brcodor of
poultry as woll as tho larger animals
are invited to bo present and join tho
association. The committeo on (tho
constitution nnd by-lnws will roport
nt that time. Directors for the
various breeds will also bo elected
ot this meeting.
Speaking of cooporation. Do you
know that In 1015 Nebraska had 264
cooperative olovators in G7 counties
or an average of 4 por county? That
J& of thsov codify WTtlyOftthoV
west, had "only ono'cacK, which leaves
tho othor 55 an nvorago of nearly
5 cooperative olovators each. Do
you know that sinco 1915 tho number
of thoso elevators has increased rap
idly until some counties now boost
of such an elevator 'in each town?
Do you know that Dakota County ia
still in the somo class with many of
our western counties in that it only
has one cooporativo olovator, which
is located at Homer?
This winter a man suifl that ho
did not understand why Homer nl
ways paid hotter prices for grain
than Dakota City. Ho might have
said this of any of our towns and
tho answer would havo been tho
same. Tho secrot lies in Homer
having a cooporativo. elovator owned
by tho farmers. Tho same is truo of
Emerson, which lies just outsido of
our county with its farmers' olovator.
Formers in sovoral places of tho
county aro seriously considering co
operative elovator organization; nnd
it is planned to hold a series of meet
ings on tho proposition as soon as
roods pormit of travel. Watch for
tho dates and plan to attend.
SPRAY MATERIALS
Buy spray materials early Is the
advlco given by F. M. Fnnrot, of the
University of Missouri. Mr. Fanrot
says "Retail quotations on nrsenicals
aro now ranging from 50 to 100 per
cent nbovo last year's prices, and it
is difficult to predict what tho situa
tion may bo noxt spring." All
things point to n very great short
ngo this year and thoso in need of
poisoning motoriols should buy early.
