Many farmers who reside on roll
ing land locate their building on
high point a or hill topa primarily for
the point of view. Some farmers,
kowever, reserve the elevation for
good well, wind mill and cistern.
From the bottom of the cistern, by
pipe line, la drawn the water used
n the farm, one line of pipe running
to the house and the other to the
barn, hog house and water tank, ao
that all points are nerved by the
grav'ty system. This method la very
satisfactory and la especially appre
ciated by the farm wife, who by the
simple turning of a faucet, secures
water for the house Instead of hav
ing to carry it from a distant well.
Oftentimes the water meat We carried
up hill to the house. The amount of
labor conerted with the water on
the farm la of such magnitude that
buildings can well afford to vacate
the high points and take a location
o that the water supply can have
the natural gravity advantage to be
had only by a hill top well.

The aecond spraying of apples,
says J. R. Duncan, secretary of the
state horticultural society, la the
most Important one in the fight to
control the codling moth. Thla spray.
If properly applied, will so reduce
tho number that there will be few
to produce the second brood which
usually hatches out in August. The
second or petal fall treatment should
ta applied aa rather coarse spray.
Tho Bordeaux noztle ahould be used.
The pressure should tax the capacity
of the pump and the maximum
should be 250 pound"!. The mater
ials used are lime sulphur, (1 one
third gallons to 60 gallons water)
aa a fungicide and arsenate of lead
2 pounds to 60 gallon of water) as
an insecticide. These are to be ap
plied In combined spray. The time
for apllcatlon is short as the sprtty
should be used after three-fourths
of the petals havo fallen and bpfore
the calyx cup has cloned. This period
in usually about ten days. '
HlltAL EIH CATION
The editors of the Saturday Even
ing Post who have brains enough to
produce a paper which has achieved
a circulation of 2,000,000 copies and
is one of the most widely read sin
tie publications in the world, have
, this to say of rural school consolida
tion: "It ought to be pretty well under
stood by this time that the one-room
rural district school, beloved of our
randfathtra is mostly a scandalous
institution. The typical teacher is
. girl just out of normal, much un
derpaid, aometimea overworked and
sometimes with only half a dor en pu
pils of assorted ages.
"A Vermont report covering thirty-five
such schools shows that in
three years there were one hundred
and seventeen different teachers, of
whom on an average more than
balf served less than two terms.
"A great mujortty of these schools
afe poorly housed and hardly equip
ped at all, just a bare little room
with a desk, a rostrum, a black
board and a poisonous cast iron
stove.' That efficient instruction can
bo had under such conditions is out
of tho Question.
"And there it less and less excuse
tor tho typical one-room, ungraded
rural school district. Our grandfath
era could have that or nothing. In
their day the nearest town was ten
miles, probably, away and the road
all but impassible half the year.
"Now, all over the middle weat
at least, there are few rural schools
that are not within easy haul of a
village graded school; still fewer dis
tricts that might sot have a fairly
graded school within easy haul by
consolidating the districts. Already
la some localities a wagon to bring
la the country children Is as much
ft part of the educational equipment
as the traditional blackboard itself.
"Like some other poor institu
tions, the little red school house sub
sists' mainly on prejudice and mere
inrrtia. If educating children is
worth all this effort, to give them
tolerably efficient teaching is worth
Just a little more effort.

tor in building up your town, and

the work.
Don't pay for It if you take it.
Newspapers are run on wind, and
the editor wouldn't keep the money
anyway. He'd most likely pay it on
his bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor bow
to run the paper. He has nothing
to do but to listen and keep his tem
per sweet.
Don't put your name to what you
want published. It's the editor's
business to espouse unpopular caus
es and take your chestnuts out of
the fire. What hurts your business
m'ght also hurt his but that's dif
ferent. Don't notify the editor when you
change your postofllce address. He
may lose track of you and you may
escape paying your last year's sub

sides of the paper. The printers
might forget how to swear.
I tr xiotf'0 Column J
State Auditor Howard evidently
suspects that he has a traitor In his
camp, judging from his opinion of a
traitor, expressed la the following
vivid language: "After God had fin
ished the rattlesnake, the toad and
the vampire, He had some awful
substance left, with which he made
a traitor. A traitor is a two-legged
animal with a cork-screw soul, a wat
ersogged brain and a combination
backbone made of Jelly and glue.
Where other people have their hearts
! i' carries a tumor of rotten princi
ples. When the traitor comes down
the street, honest men should turn
tiielr backs, and angels In heaven
tak; refuge behind their harps and
the devil bar-lock the gates of hell."

The editor of the Minden News
publishes a good newspaper but the
locul merchants fail to give him or
his tumpetitor the proper advertising
patronage. He recently printed the
follow' ng soliloquy:
You Would Never Suspect It
Fly reading over the advertising col
umns of either of the two Minden
papers, but it is true, nevertheless:
This town has five general stores
one grocery and racket store, two
picture shows, three hardware and
furniture stores, one bakery, two
photograph studios, four implement
dealing firms, two harness shops.
three garageB, four livery barns, two
bauks, three millinery establish
ments, two hotels, one tailor shop,
two shoe shops, one feed store, three
Jewelry stores, three barber shops,
three drug stores, two lumber yards.
three grain elevators, two black
smith shops, one marble establish
ment, two clothing stores. three
meat markets, one variety store, two
undertakers, one tin shop, two wind
mill and well men, two plumbers,
one hospital, one flouring mill, two
restaurants, three cream stations,
four real estate dealers, live physl-
ciana. three dentists, nine practicing
lawyers, one chiropodist, one veter
inary surgeon, and one osteopath.
We believe that is all; if we have
missed anybody, we hope they will
let us know about it. This is the
only newspaper advertising some of
them havo had in many a day and
it won't cost them a cent. We have
solved the high coBt of living prob
lem and have learned how to live
and run a live business institution
without money or patronage.

TOLLS ON THE KIDNEYS
Alliance People Have Found This
to Be True
The strain of overwork tells on
the weakened kidneys. The hurry
and worry of busines men, the heavy
lifting and stooping of workmen,
the women's household earoe, tend
to wear, weaken and injure the kid
neys until they can no longer filter
the poison from the blood and the
whole body suffers from the waste
matter that accumulates. Weaken
ed kidneys need quick assistance.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for weakened kidneys; tir
ed, worn-out backs have proven
their merit in thousands of cases. Be
low is convincing proof from this lo
cality: Mrs. E. T. Lehman, Sidney, Nebr.,
says: "For a long time I was troub
led by pains in the small of my back.
Whenever I caught cold, it settled in
my kidneys and brought on stiffness
and lameness across my loins. A few
doses of Doan's Kidney Pills remov
ed the trouble and made me feel
like a different woman."
Price SOc. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy I
get Doan s Kidney Pills the same
that Mrs. Lehman had. Foster-Mil-burn
