i How Crop Was Raised
Each contestant was required to
write an essay on the subject, "How
I Raised My Crop." The following
Is Miss SchlU's essay:
"When papa received the letter
telling about the different clubs there
was a perfect uproar for a few min
utes, then I was able to hear myself
think. I decided I would ho In the
In my card of membership, I coulii
hardly wait for the answer to come.
When it did I was more enthusiastic
than ever. Mnruntu got tired of tell
ing me It was not time to plant yet.
"One warm spring day however
(we had the men plow the garden
some time ago) we took rakes and
hoes and set to work. The ground
was hard and full of tough clods
which we had to break up that was
the hardest work of the whole gar
den, I think. We used the rake and
the hoe and it took about two hours.
Then wo made nice Btaralght (?)
rows and planted the radishes and
beets leaving the bigger part of the
garden for tomatoes. I had the to
matoes about six Inches tall in cans
in the house. When these came up
watered them. They grew rap
idtv. We had a few rains but a hard
wind after them which made the
ground very hard and we had to ho

water them often. When the rad

Soon we dug holes and filled them
with water then put the tomatoes n
and sacked the earth around them
I had "the tomatoes In paper boxes In
the house fco all I had to do was peel

soil around the roots. The tomatoes

WOMAN COUNTY AGENT
. HERE THIS SUMMER
l yomm unities Desiring Services of
Miss Rokahr Must Notify the
County Agent at Once '
Box Butte county Is to have a
woman county agent this summer.
That fact is now settled. Through
mai iaci ta now aeiueu. xuruugu
the efforts of the three county agents
in northwest Nebraska, arrange
ments have been made to have Miss
Rokahr of the Extension Service
spend the summer months in this
part of the state, dividing her time
between Box Butte, Sheridan and
Dawes counties. She will wcrk on
ly In those communities where she
is nuked to come. She will not have
time for over five or six communi
ties Ir. each county. The meetings
will begin In April.
Last summer the women of four
Maaibop county communities met
once a montn ror tne purpose or
studying Home Economics. The
meetings started In March and con
tinued through September. Study
In hot weather may seem uninviting, '
but as a uiaiter of fact, attendance
FARMERS
Increased steadily throughout the auto carrying booze from out of the
time. The classes met In farm-home state may be declared a public nuis
kltchens and the women wore washjance and that the authorities may
dreeaeB, for there was work to be
done, and each woman did a part.
First Conic, First Served
The leader was a member of the
Home Economics Extension Service.
When, ln the spring, It was announc
ed that she could spend one week in
each month In Madison county, the
women of these four communities
were the first to say, "We want her."
It was "first come, first served."
In March the women had a meat
lesson. They learned how to use a
pressure cooker and how to make a
flreless cooker. Since these utensils
are especially useful In meat cook
ery. On that day they chose sub
jects for the remaining lessons. They
did not stick to food entirely, but
chose canning, house furnishing, the
1150 of. the dress form, and other sub-
ects.
The women had such good times
that they didn't want to give up
when September came. So they
formed permanent organizations,
which have held monthly meetings
11 winter. These clubs have not
only studied home economlce, out
have done things for their communi
ties as well. They have aided" in the
establishment of hot lunches ln the
ehools; they have sought to provide
wholesome amusement for their
young people. Now they are wora-
Ing to secure a woman county ageni,
and they are going at it so energet
ically and bo systematically that Xhey
are bound to succeed.
With tne announcement that the
services of Miss Rokahr have been
secured for Box Butte and Sheridan
and Dawes counties for this summer,
there will probably be many com
munities who will want to secure ner
services in conducting meets ln their
ommunlty during the summer. This
is an excellent opportunity for the
women of the country communities
to study home economics under a
trained leader" for a while. It. will
be. "First come, first served." If
you want to reserve Miss Rokahr for
your community tins summer, xeie
nhone County Agent F. M. Seidell at
once. Mr. Seidell has his office in
the court house and the number of
his office telephone Is "one-four-
five."

for the Searching of Autos
(From Lincoln Dally News)
Those Nebraskans who are plan
ning on stocking up their wine cel
lars and sideboards prior to May 1
might as well give up the idea right
now. If the special prohibition com-led
mittee of the lower house has Us way
the fact that any person has an ex
cessive amount of liquor In bis home
will be prima facie evidence that ho
is keeping It for illegal purposes. In
other words, It will be up to him to

friends a chance to relieve their

After having spent nearly throe
weeks in considering H. R. 793, the

committee, the latter body made Its
report to the lower house Friday
morning. Upon motion of Chairman
Norton of the committee considera

a. m. Tuesday. Mr. Norton explain

It was found that this clause was not
as explicit as it might have been, and
so that clause was changed to make!
R so definite that no one could get
around it.
Hold Down Auto Shipments
This was the most drastic change
affected by the special committee-but
there are others of some importance.
One section now provides that an
proceed against it In much the same
manner as against other nuisances.
An officer can search an auto with-1
out even going to the trouble of se
curing a search warrant, but he
must secure that warrant immedi
ately afterwards. Of course if he
makes a mistake and searches the
wrong auto he is liable for damages,
but he Is running no greater risks
than all officers take in entering prl-1
vate no rues and rooming houses.
This provision regarding autos
was Inserted with a view of getting !0f horse thieves. With the assist

law there would be so much red tape I
connected with receiving booxe ship-

would undertake to get their liquor
In that way. Auto loads coming ln
from Missouri, however, could slip
by the officers without having their
shipments reglslered. It is said that
the chief barrier to absolute prohibi
tion in Des Moines Is to be found In
the auto lines established between
that city and Mineapolls. By means
of this amendment the committee
hopes to hold bootlegging to a min
imum.
Another new clause provides that
magistrates may try misdemeanor
cases without a Jury. In places like

EXTENSION MAY
BE BUILT NOV
Burlington Officials Do Not Explahk
where Large Appropriation b
to De Spent '
FROM 0NKILL TO ALLIANCB
Land Owners Being Approached and
Asked for Price on Portions
of Their Holdings
Talk that the Burlington exten
sion from O'Nell to Alliance may ba
begun this year will not down. The
fact Is there are a number of Indies- '
lions that point towards the fact that
the extension la to be built.
Rig Appropriation
Recently Burlington officials an
nounced a large appropriation to be
expended In Nebraska this year, and
their failure to definitely state the
purposes of the proposed expend!'
tures, taken In conjunction with the
known activity of certain private In
dividuals In purchasing land along
the proposed route, is taken to mean
that the land Is being purchased un
der cover for the road. Another sin
gular fact Is that the officials of the
road neither confirm nor deny the
story. History ban shown that land
Increases In value the Instant the
owners know or think they know
that a railroad is purchasing for ex
tension purposes, and as a result
condemnation proceedings which are
slow, expensive and laborious fre
quently must be resorted to.
Activities ln Real Estate
There can be no mistake ln the
fact that the actions of certain In
dividuals In dealing for land and In
the purchasing of options would be
peculiar business if the land In ques
tion was to be used for any other
purpose than for a railroad right of
way. The O'Neill Frontier ln tell
ing of the peculiar activities in real
estate says that land owners around
Chambers and further to tho west
and south have been approached
and asked for prices on portions of
their holdings since the first of tho
year. In each instance, the Frontier
states, the would-be buyers have
been residents of eastern Holt coun
ty or counties along the short line
and men who are prominent ln bus
iness, agriculture or stock raising.
They generally explain that they are
buying merely for Investment, but It
Is noted, says the Frontier, that tha
purchases and offers aro for elongat
ed strips not necessarily adapted to
stock raising or farming.
Nays Not for Investment
At tho same time the Frontier
calls attention to the fact that a buy
er seeking land for investment gen
erally prefers compact bodies as
neirrly square as possible and says
the same activities noted in Holt
county are reported from Brown and
Rock counties and also along the
length of Survey valley, a fertile val
ley running east and west through
Cherry county and Sheridan county.
Rill Before I eg I hint u re
These activities, considered with a
bill now pending In the legislature
pertaining to rates and services oa
new extensions of existing lines, or
lines built by new organizations.
lead the optimistic to believe that
the extension soon is to be built. It
is stated that the bill pending in the
legislature Is likely to pass.
(otxl ProHNltion
While the average person knows
but very little of whnt tho Burling
ton proposes to do, yet It la reason
able to get the opinion that they are
about to do something, when the
facts are known us to wh.-U Is actual
ly being done row, whether by. the
railroad or by the individuals them
solves. The fact that the road would
be a paying proposition from a num
ber of standpoints Is generally ad
mitted. O'Neill lo Alliance
Alliance and O'Neill are some 230
miles apart. A railroad continuing
the O'Neill short line at O'Neill and
extending to Alliance would proba
bly puss through about nrteen towns.
Sioux City capital is getting anxious.
They desire to connect with this part
of the country, recognizing the fact
that western and northern Nebraska
is going to experience a wonderful
growth within the next few years.
Evidence of their activity is seen in
the effort being made to continue the
passenger service from Sioux City
clear to Alliance over the present
system. A connecting link between
Sioux City and Alliance would be a
boom to all concerned. It would op
en up new trade territory to Sioux
City wholesalers, and commission
men, and provide all towns along the
line with a new buying center, caus
ing moro competition, and with more
competition, naturally better prices.
New 0M-ralions Now
With the completion of the Yutan
cutoff by the Burlington rond, It U
but natural to assume that the com
pany will start new operations. The
logical proposition Is the O'Neill-Alliance
extenslo.n The proposed ex
tension of the O'Nt ill short Ibie will
give the Burlington a direct Denvcr-to-SIoux-City
service via Alliance.,
with excellent connections at Sioux
City for St. Taul and Minneapolis
via the Oreat Northern and the St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha. The
