NEBRASKA FIFTY
YEARS FROM NOW
itatlonc for those who now live here
and those to come.
I believe in Nebraska. I believe
in her trees, God's first temples,
grass Instead of ash heaps, and flow
ers Instead of weeds. I believe in
her newspapers, the people who read
them day iy day. the officers who
govern them and their children who
Bhould be taught that Nebraska is
God's footstool. I will forget my
jealousies if I have any and treat all
her people with charity and consid
eration. May God bless the tongue
that gives honest praise to Nebraska
and her people and may He doubly
bless the ear that is deaf to the plea
of the "knocker" and the "slacker."
If I cannot speak good of my state I
will hold my peace. When it costs
me nothing, at least, I will spend my
money here, and by so doing leave a
part of the purchase price to circul
ate in the channels where its equiv
alent In wealth was originally creat
ed to circulate and do good among
the people who are a part of the
state of which I am a part, in th
slate which is the place that I call
"Home, Sweet Home."
I believe In Nebraska.

the Platte and other streams will be
stored in great basins and used as

methods of irrigation will be sup
planted by more advanced and sci-

years and will be paid a salary com

their positions, cnuaren win siuuy

state could have allowed the saloon

until the year 1917.

MURK Cl'RK FOR
DANDELION lKST
A method for eradicating dande
lions which is effective is furnished
by Mrs. J. R. Boyer of Gering. ac
cording to the Courier, which states
that the method does the work.
Iast year B. O. Longyear of Colo
rado Agricultural College discovered
an effective and practical method of
clearing a dandelion lawn, other
than by hand digging. He did it by
use of iron sulphate applied as a
spray. He succeeded with three ap
plications in entirely killing all
plants of this common lawn peal
without injuring the grass. A por
tion of a lawn so badly infested that
hardly anythiong but dandelions was
visible last year is now without a
single plant and the grass has thick
ened a great deal in consequence. A
solution is made of copperas, or iron
sulphate. This is dissolved In water
at the rate of 1 ',4 pounds of salt to
each gallon of water and should be
applied to the lawn with a spray
pump so as to wet every plant. It
will not do to use a common sprink
ler. The solution must be put on in
the form of a fine spray applied with
some force to be most effective. A
common bucket spray pump, or even
a hand atomizer for small areas, is
suitable providing it makes a fine
forcible spray. Do not try o hi' Hi
dandelion only, but cover every
square inch of the lawn. In this
way till seeding plants will be killed.
Put on a second application In two
or three weeks and a third and pos
sibly fourth late in the summer if
any of the dandelions start into
growth. The grass will be blacken
ed for a short time, but soon recov
ers, and after watering and mowing
will appear darker green than be
fore. Do not allow the solution to
get on a stone or cement walk, as it
produces a rather permanent yellow
stain. Secretary Walter Wellhouse
of the Kan;;as Horticultural society
has experimented along the same
lineB and the results, he obtained co
Inrlflft with those of Prof. Longyear
of Colorado.
PHONE EMPLOYEES
DUY LIBERTY BONDS
Bell System Finance Proposition Al-
kming Employees to Purchase
Bonds on Monthly Payments
D
Arrangements have been mad"
whereby employees of the Nebraska
Telephone Company may subscribe
for government bonds of the Liber
ty Loan" and pay for them on month-
installments, according to an an
nouncement received by Manager P.
Gleason.
In addition to the G. 000, 000 of
he bonds which the Bell Telephone
system has taken, it is expected that
the employees of the various com
panies of the system will subscribe
for an equally large amount unntr
he plan of paying for the boims on
monthly Installments.
The installment plan provides tor
the palment of $4 each month for
en months and $f per month for
wo months on eac h I HO bond for
which the employee subscribes. This
will enable telephone employees to
y for their bonds in one year and
collect six months interest in June,
10 IS. This will give them a return
of approximately 3 V per cent inter
est on each installment paid.
In case an emplayee desires at any
line during the year to make all re-
ma'nlrg payments at once and take
up his bond, he will be permitted to
do so.
Alliance Herald comes the June
Home Circle Magazine section. We
think it is better than any previous
magazine we have issued. We be
lieve you will say so yourself after
you have read It.
Four stories of great Interest,
written by well-known authors,
ought to be enough to cause you to
give this magazine particular atten
tion. There is poetry, too. for those
who like good wholesome verse.
"The Inspired Vote," by Roland
Ashford Phillips, is the headliner
this month and it's a story that will
be read and thoroughly enjoyed by
every true American. It deals with
politics and the game. It is a story
full of pep and action. "The Inspir
ed Vote." is complete In this issue of
The Herald's Home Circle Magazine
section.
Robert W. Chambers you all
know Chambers' writing and have
read his works as they have appear
ed from time to time in The Satur
day Evening Post and other high
class national magazines has con
tributed one of his usually "great"
stories of life in the upper crust of
society. "The Shining Band" is
complete in this issue. It's
with a punch.
B. Fletch Robinson is in with an
other one of those gripping mystery
the title,
"The Chronicles of Addlngton
Peace." You know these stories.
"The Vanished Millionaire" is even
better than those that have gone be
fore. As you all know, Mr. Robin
son is co-author with A. Conan Doyle
in that well-known Sherlock Holmes
story. "The Hound of the Basker
villes." and other mystery stories.
Don't pass up "The Vanished Mil
lionaire." Wilbur D. Nesbit, well-known
poet, has contributed a flve-stanza
poem which tells the story contained
In the second verse of the nineteenth
Psalm, which reads. "Day unto day
uttereth speech. And night unto
night showeth knowledge." It Is n
delightful poem and one that you
will read with genuine pleasure.
Mildred Caroline Goodridge's de
lightful short story. "The Paisley
Shawl." completes the list of con
tents. "The Paisley Shawl" Is a
short story but Its goodness cannot
be measured by Its length.
You will agree with us after you
hav: read your magazine that this Is
sue far surpasses all other good ones
that have gone before. The aim is
to make each magazine a little bet-
a story ter. How well that Is being accom
plished, you can Judge for yourself

As near as can be judged about
half the Box Butte county potato
acreage nas so tar oeen pianiea.
Farmers are busy in the field and in
a comparatively short time the en
tire acreage will be in. It is esti
mated that 7.S00 and possibly 8,000
acres will be planted to potatoes in
Box Butte county this year. The
acreage is limited by the seed sup
ply. Seed potatoes have been bard
to get and this coupled with the fact
that potatoes have been so high has
made the securing of seed the limit
ing factor in potato planting this
year.
The process of the movement of
new potatoes since the first of the
year will be of interest to Box Butte
county potato growers and buyers.
