OFFICIAL TEST POPl'LAIt
Official testing has increased in
Nebraska nearly 300 per cent the
last year, according to figures pre
pared by the dairy husbandry de
partment of the university agricul
tural college.
Fourteen breeders made tests in
the year 1915-1916 as compared with
six In 1914-1915. Many Inquiries
have been received at the college of
agriculture, and the indications are
thut many breeders will start official
tests this fall. This shows that Ne
braska fanners are realizing the ben
efit of the official test. One of the
advantages that makes a special ap
peal to breeders is that It advertises
good stock the farmer may have for
sale.

A large crowd gathered In the '
district court room Friday afternoon
to witness the sentencing of several
prisoners, among whom was Sammy
Lucky, the colored man who killed
Ed Hayes.
Court was called with Judge West
over on the bench. Lucky entered
a plea to second-degree murder and
asked for leniency of the court for
several reasons, none of which ap
pealed with any great force to t ho
court or to the spectators. The judge
imposed a sentence of life Imprison
ment. !
Orvillo Lewis and Willie Dunbar
were sentenced to an Indeterminate
term of one to ten years in the statu
prison. They entered pleas of guilty
to the charge of robbery of llolstcn's
drug store some time ago. The
court gave them some good advice,
which it is hoped they will consider
carefully.
James Washington was given an
Indeterminate sentence of from one
to ten years for robbing the Alliance
hotel. He pleaded for mercy because
he had an aged mother to support,
also a wife and child.
We will furnish the money to

holders in the way of dividends as this is a full participating policy.
