The "dry bill," Introduced In the House of Repre sentatives the night of January 31st the last bill to be introduced for the session, number 793, is meeting with general approval. It was the result of several days and nights of har1 wnrlc on thft ttart of the SDecial sub committee Senators Beal, San dall and Chappelll and Representa tives Norton, Thomas and Flansburg. The committtee worked all night long the night before the bill was In troduced, In order to get it in proper shape. A night session was held Wednesday night In order to get this bill and others la under the time lim it, this being the twentieth day of the session, the last allowed for the in troduction of bills. As representatives Noarton and Thomas walked down the aisle of the house, carrying the bulky document, the House rose to Its feet and cheered following with singing "How Dry I Am" and other "patriotic" songs. The bill, after second reading, was referred back to the special prohibi tion committee who will allow hear ings on the same. A few amend ments will probably be made, but they will be of minor Importance. Important features of the bill are: Onlv one kind of liquor can be or dered in a period of thirty days, and by only one member of a family. No person can order more than one quart of whiskey, twenty-four pints of beer, or two quarts of wine within any thirty-day period. Possession of two kinds of liquor, under the proposed law, will be regarded as p-ima facie evidence of violation of the prohlbi , tion amendment. One quart of 1 per cent alcohol makes a liquid a ltquor. Clubs and fraternities cannot have nn..M nn thalr nrnmlitea. The "lockers system" Is specifically for bidden. Drug stores can keep only pure ethyl alcohol. Churches, drug stores and private residences or apartments are the only places where liquor may be kept Patent medicines requiring a gov ernment' tax cannot be sold In this 'Severe penalties for violation of the law includes a stiff fine or short pris on sentence for first offense; longer nri.nn on.onrA for second offense, and penitentiary sentence for third or subsequent onense. The minimum penalty for Intoxi cation is a fine of 10. Liquor advertising and sale of pub lications containing liquor advert is- tnr la fnrhlrfden.

Counties, cities and towns are to be held responsible lor aaniages aris ing out of violations of the law. Power to enforce the law is placed directly In the hands of the governor, without the assistance of a special prohibition commissioner. WOMAl. SUFFRAGE STOCK JUMPS TO ALMOST PAR .Woman suffrage stock leaped to almost par yesterday when Norton's limited woman suffrage bill passed the Nellaska hyiuse of representa tives three to one. If this bill goes through It will permit women to vote except In those instances where the constitution specifically states that male electors shall vote. The con stitutional provision can only be rem edied by a constitutional amendment.

BOYS GET FREE TRIP TO ALLIANCE Members of Potato Club to Attend Potato Congress Here Make Remarkable Showing Eleven of the members of the Box Butte County Boy's Potato Club have finished their project for 1916 and have received from the state agricul tural college and the public schools a "certificate of achelvement" which Is accepted in all accredited high schools as other accredited schools as equivelent to completing the agri cultural course given In the rural schools. These eleven members have gained much in the knowledge of growing potatoes, and while doing It earned money for themselves. These boys and others are planning on continu ing the work this coming year. The work was conducted locally under the supffrvision of the county agent, the Box Butte Farmers Assoc iation, the county superintendent of schools, and written lessons and re port cards were furnished by the Ex tension Service of the college of ag riculture. No member had less than an eight of an acre planted to pota toes, the highest acreage cared for by one member being 3.4 acres. lOO.T Bu. To Acre The total acreage grown by the 11 members was 14.39 acres or an aver age of 1.3 acres per member. The certified yield of the best one-eighth acre plots ranged from: 67.7 bushels per acre to 189.2 per acre, averag ing 115.4 bushels per acre. The to tal yields of the eleven members was 1450.2 bushels or an average of 100.7 bushels per acre. In figuring the cost of production the arbrltary price of 60 cents per bushel for seed was allowed, the ac tual cost of chemicals for treating, 10 ' nts per hour for the labor of hte club member, 15 cents per hour for the labor of others, and 8 cents per hour for horse labor. The total cost of producing the eleven club mem bers' potatoes was $155.4 5. The owner of the land was given one fourth of the crop for rent. The club members' share of 1087.9 bushels cost $155.4'5 or 14.2 cents per bush el. Are Rewarded All of the potato club members will receive a free trip, to hte Boys Pota to Congress to be held in this city this spring. The Burlington rail road has presented each member with a copy of Orubb's "Potato Book," and the Pox Butte Farmers Association has I resented each member with an official membership button. Several of the boy 3 won prizes at the county f-tir on their potatoes. The winner of tle first and second awards, in the county, will receive medals the first being given a gold medal and the se- cond a silver medal. j At $1.25 per buchel, the value or i the KH-nibers' potatoes was $1,359.87 or $123.62 per member. The owner. of the land received rent that made 125 per cent on the investment. Boys of Box Butte county who are not already members of the - 1917 Beys' Potato Club and who desire to get into the game, make some money for themselves and learn much con certing the growing of potatoes, may secure cards from the various teach eis of the county or from the county agent, who Is located at Alliance.
