A
QUESTION (LEAKED VP
Alliance Reader Can No linger
Ioult the Evidence
Again and again we have read of
strangers In distant towns who have
been cured by this or that niedtrlne.
But Alliance's pertinent question has
always been, "Has anyone here In
Alliance been cured?" The word of
a stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens, whom we know
and respect, and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.
Mrs. O. E. Leidy, 322 E. Dakota
St., Alliance, says: "I can highly rec
ommend Doan's Kidney Pills to all
sufferers from kidney complaint, as
I have used them on a number of oc
casions with good results."
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

NEBRASKA FARM

Seventy-live Thousand Farmers Are
llepreciilel l" State Organiza
tion of Progressive Farmers
(Written for Tbe Herald by J. II.
(irinncll, Secretary)
The Nebraska Farmers' Congress
was Instituted In October 1910. by
forty-eight men who were Nebraska
delegates to the National Farmers'
Congress in session in the City of
Lincoln. From that small member
ship It has continued to grow stead
ily year by year until for the fifth
Annual Session held at Omaha Pec.
8, 9, 10, 1914. two hundred farmers'
organizations throughout the state
reported delegates to the secretary.
Among these organizations are
found delegates representing every
class of farmers' organizations in the
state, clubs, granges. Institute asso
ciations, mutual telephone associa
tions, mutual Insurance, unions, so
cieties of equity, county and district
fair associations, breeders associa
tions, pure seed and corn Improvers,
co-operative shipping associations,
rural school associations, horticul
tural societies, and state board of ag
riculture. The total membership at
this session represented seventy-five
thousand farmers.
The subjects appearing on the pro
gram were as follows: Co-operative
CreameiieK. n. II. Hibhard. Profes
sor of Uurnl Economics, University
of WIsi'onHin; Tuberculosis In Nebr
aska Cattle, and Nebraska Water

Registration. Hon. A. E. Sheldon, di
rector Legislative Referenre Bureau,
Llnloln, Nebr.; Relation of State
Soil Survey to Agricultural Develop
ment. Dr. G. E. Condra.
After a paper or speech on any of
the subjects was delivered, not a
moment's time was lost in starting
discussion, which proved that the
delegates were deeply Interested.
Many questions have been asked the
writer of this article as to whether
the congress is strictly a farmers' or
ganization. Proof enough of this Is
the fad that all candidates for office
had the word "farmer" written op
posite their names. The officers

HOW CAN IT BE DONE FOR THE MONEY?
MOST PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE MANUFACTURER OF
CLOTHING RECEIVES FOR HIS GOOES AND THE PRICE THE WEARER IS REQUIRED TO PAY. HOW CAN WE SELL
BETTER GOODS FOR LESH MCITLV? BY CUTTING OUT THE NEEDLESS EXPENSE AND A LARGE PART OF THE
PROFITS THAT GO BETWLEN. OUR WAY IS THE MODERN METHOD OF GETTING GOOD CLOTHES AT A REASONA
BLE PRICE. THIS IS THE WAY IT IS DONE: Y U CALL AT OUR OFFICE AND MAKE YOUR SELECTION FROM
MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED SAMPLES OF FABRICS, GETTING EXACTLY WHAT SUITS YOU. YOUR MEASURE IS
TAKEN BY AN EXPERIENCED TAILOR AND SENT TO THE FACTORY, WHERE EVERY ONE OF THE LARGE NUM
BER OF WORKMEN EMPLOYED IS AN EXPERT IN HIS DEPARTMENT. THE FABRICS USED ARE MANUFACTURED
BY THE MAKERS OF THE CLOTHES, THUS MAKING A BIG SAVING OVER THOSE WHO PURCHASE THEIR CLOTH
FROM RETAIL OR EVEN WHOLESALE HOUSES.

consists of twenty-one representative
Nebraska farmers, who reported the
following rseolutlons, which were
unanimously adopted by the con
gress :
Resolutions
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
Resolved, that wo approve the ac
tion of Congress In passing the Smith
Lever Bill for agricultural develop
ment purposes In the several states
of the Union, and we ask the com
ing session of the Legislature to take
such steps as shall secure for Nebras
ka the largest possible share of such
appropriation.
TORRENS TITLE LAW
We reaffirm the action of the last
session of this Congress endorsing
the demand for passage of the Tor
rens Title registration law.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
We call upon the legislature to
submit to the people a proposition
for holding a constitutional conven
tion for the revision of the state con
stitution. BLUE SKY LAW
We ask that co-operative enter
prises for mutual benefit be exempt
ed from the operation of the Blue
Sky Law.
CONSERVATION AND PUBLIC
WELFARE COMMISSION
We commend the valuable work
of the State Conservation and public
Welfare Commission and recommend
that a liberal appropriation be made
for 'continuing the work.
CONSERVATION AND
SOIL SURVEY
We ask that the Conservation and
Soil Survey of the state be continued
with adequate support.
WATER POWER MONOPOLY
We believe that the state should
be In absolute ownership and control
of the water power of the state; that
rights should not be Mold, or leased
In perpetuity, and that the next leg
islature should take measures look
ing to the immediate development of
the water power of the state, by the
state, for the people of the atate. We
demand the cancellation of such wa
ter power franchises now outstand
ing as are not developed, or in pro
cess of real bona fide development, as
contemplated by the law of the state.
RURAL SCHOOL COMMISSION
The Rural School Commission cre
ated by the Nebraska Farmers' Con
gress should be continued In the ser-
Ivice of school legislation, to work in
conjunction wit hthe state superin
tendent along the lines discussed at
this session and those now In opera
tion In other states of the Union.
PUBLIC WAREHOUSES
We are unalterably opposed to Hny
so-called public warehouse law what
ever. COOPER ATI VE W A R Ell () US ES
We express our belief that the loss
to the producer and cost to the con
sumer, due to congestion of markets
and monopolistic control, require
fundamental changes In the system!
of marketing grain and other food '
products. To this end we favor: !
First. Federal Inspection of grain
ut all terminal grain markets.
Second. We favor warehouses li-
censed and controlled by the state in j
the Interest of producer and constr.n-'
er, with the provision that runners
co-operative organizations shall be
entitled to lease, build, own and op
erate such warehouses on the same
terms as any other person or corpor
ation.
This resolution is specifically re
ferred to the legislative committee of
the Congress.
SWINE BARN ON THE
STATE FAIR GROUNDS
This Congress recognizes the value
of the swine industry as being one
of our greatest Industries. We be
lieve that this Industry is materially
benefitted by the annual exhibit of
swine at our state fair. It is appar
ent to any visitor to the state fair
that the present location of the swine
barns on the Nebraska State Fair
grounds is unsanitary, the sheds In
which the swine are housed are old
and inadequate, and the location for
swine by no means what it should be.
This Congress respectfully asks
for an appropriation by the next leg
islature of a sufficient amount of mo
ney to erect a swine barn in which
this exhibit may be housed, and that
such building be located at a more
convenient and sanitary location on
the fair grounds than the present
sheds.
STATE SERUM PLANT
We recommend a sufficient appro
priation for the production of anti
hog cholera serum, by the Nebraska
Experiment Station, to meet the de
mands for serum uade upou said sta
tion X j the swine f lowers of Nebras
ka. INSPECTION OF HOG
CHOLERA SERUM
We favor the enactment of a law
preventing the manufacture or sal
of any hog cholera serum to th
swine growers of Nebraska (wheth
er said serum be manufactured In tb
state or out of the state), unless said
serum has been tested and approved
by the United States Department of
Agriculture or the Nebraska Stat
Experiment Station. We favor th
state selling said serum to the farm
ers at actual cost.
APPOINTMENT OF DEPUTY
STATE VETERINARIAN
We believe that the best interest
of the live stock men and the farm
ers will be conserved by keeping la
office, as long as their services art
satisfactory, men having to do with
live stock sanitary work. The last
legislature created the Live Stock
Sanitary Board, and In doing so In
tended that work In this department
should be taken out of politics a
nearly as possible, and the governor
relieved of this responsibility impos
ed on him by the statute.
We believe our present deputy
state veterinarian. Dr. L. C. Klgtn. la
honestly and conscientiously doing;
all he can to protect the live stock
men of Nebraska In the controlling
and eliminating of animal diseases.
This Congress would suggest to th
Live Stock Sanitary Board that th
best Interests of the live stock men
of Nebraska would be conserved in
the office of the state veterinarian by
their recommending to the governor
Dr. Klgin's retention In office, and
we would respectfully ask of Gover
nor Morehead that Dr. Klgln be re
tained In his present official capacity.
The secretary of the Congress Is
directed to transmit a copy of this
resolution to the governor of Nebras
ka, the president of the Live Stock
Sanitary Board and to Dr. Klgln.
UNION PACIFIC RIGHT
OF WAY CASES
Resolved, that we are In hearty
sympathy with the efforts being
made by Hon. George W. Norrls In
the United States senate to confirm
farmers along the Union Pacific rail
road right of way In the possession
of certain lands which have been In .
controversy between these farmers
and the railroad company for years.
We ssk him to continue the fight un
til he has fully accomplished his par
pose. We also respectfully ask Senator
Gilbert M. Hitchcock and all the Ne
braska members of the lower house
of congress to lend him all the assist
ance in their power.
Resolved, that a certified copy
each of theBe resolutions be sent by
the secretary of this Farmers' Con
gress to Senators Norrls and Hitch
cock and also to Hon. John A. Ma
gulre, Hon. Chas. O. Lobeck, Hon.
Dan. V. Stephens, Hon. Chas. A.
Sloan, Hon. Silas R. Barton, and
Hon. Moses P. Kinkaid, the said
members of the lower house of con
gress. CLOSED SEASON ON GAME BIRDS
We ask the legislature to estab
lish a closed season of ten years on
grouse, prairie chickens, and quail.
BOUNTY ON CROWS
We recommend to the next session
of the legislature that a reasonable
bounty be placed on crows, leading
to their extermination as carriers of
hog cholera Infection.
FARMERS' NATIONAL CONGRESS
Whereas, the Farmers' National
Congress has accepted the hospitality
of the City of Omaha and will hold
Its Thirty-fifth annua session In this
city the coming autumn, therefore,
be It resolved, tlmt the Nebraska
Farmers' Congress welcomes the
coming of Its national parent bo ly to
Nebraska, and pledpen the loyalty
