SHUMWAY AND POOL STOPPED LAND SCHEME Iter Mfbrifikii Officials, i Hi HuniiWMft Trip I1ifnhkIi Ttirir "Old Suunp iiiff Uround" Modr lHncm nry Lincoln. Nebr. Auut 29. Tta poor widow in wrslrn Nebraska who recently pr'wnu1 a pica to the late board of public landa and build lafs to reduce the appraised valua tion of a tract of school land which he desired to buy will receive scanty consideration If two member of the board have their way. Land Commissioner Grant Shum wy and Secretary of State Pool re turned last week from western Ne braska where they have been inspect ing school lands in over a doxen counties One of the pieces examined was the tract which the widow desired to buy and which is now under lense at a valuation of $12. CO per acre. Former lmd Commissioner Beck mann has appraised it for ante at 112.00 per acre. Both Pool and Shumway state that the purchase price is not too hlKb. A little InvestlKation on their prt, they say, indicated that the poor wi dow, who has five children to sup port, has been offered $85 an acre for the land as soon as she acquires tit le from the state. H. I). Lute of Keith county, the officials suy, Is the men who has offered $sr. nn acre for the land. Neither Mr. Pool nor Shumway will recommend any reduction in the price, but on the other hand may saek to raise the appraisement fixed on It. The two men inspected school lauds in Duel, Garden, Morrill, Chey nne. Ketth, Lincoln, Dawson, Gos per, Red Willow, Frontier and Fui n as counties. Some Increases will be made in the lauds viewed on the trip but the ma jority of the valuations will be left at the QKure set by the county board. The two state officers say that the crop outlook in Northwestern Nebra ka is the finest In yearn and that sec tion of the state will do a sot towards feeding the allies. Between Llsco and Da l ton. the country looked like oae continuous wheat field. In spite of the constant reports thut very lit tle of the cereal would be raised In Nebraska this year. Thousands of acres of grain is standing in the Held. dead ripe, they say, and farmers are delayed in taking care of the grain because of the scarcity of help. Six lakes containing valuable pot ash deposits in Sheridan county were inspected by the two slate officials. Applications are now on file for the right to take the potash. The state board will uwurd the right to the company making the best offer. and the growing discontent In short- rationed Germany needs no explana tion. The American soldier who went to France "to fight, not to crawl into a hole and look at the Germans through a spyglass," will have to learn that in modern war, with its multiplied engines of destruction, the most important thing Is to avoid suicide. , --o In denouncing England as "the chief instigator of this war" the kaiser forgets that he himself at the outset proved the contrary when he sneered at "the contemptible little Kngllsh army." which was, in fact, not much bigger in August, 1914, than ours was when we declared war last April. '-O' ' The brilliant Italian offensive Is regarded ns more important Just now than the successful British drive or even the great French gains. If Russia had only stood firm, what an opportunity would now be hers to scntter the Austrians on the one side while they are being beaten by the Italians on the other. o It Is suggested that the mutinous and murderous negro troops be promptly shipped across the Atlantic in order that the Germans may be come the victims of their eagerness to shoot. But what if they run umuck on board ship or pick a quar rel with our French alllos at sight? The only safe place for the mutinous soldier Inclined to kill at the wrong tlflM and place is behind prison bars. INTERESTING NEWS OF ST.

The prise winning cattle at the St. Joseph Feede show last yea, brought $8.03 per cwt. This was exclusive of calves. The fifty-five loads in the show that did not win premiums, but sold through the ring, aveaged $7.56 exluding the calves. Thity loads not in the show, but sold in the auction, aveaged $7.20. The same ctttle to day would bing considerably more. We figure as much as $3.00 per cwt. more now. The top on the fat cat tle maket at this time was ound $11. while now, fat catttle ure selling as high s $16.50 per cwt. W. S. Gots chall of Union Str. Mo., sold in St. Joseph this week, lood of steers av eraging 1193 for $15.50. These cat tle were the first premium yearlings at the St. Joseph Stocke and Feeder show in 1916, and averaged 682 lbs. Mr. Ootschnll paid $8.45 per cwt., for them, so they Bhowed a margin of $7.05 per cwt. and gained 521 lbs. in the ten months they were on feed. The show to be held Sept. 27th and Hall A Graham, callte producers and dealers of Alliance, Nebraska, by resson of many years experience with cattle, in common with all oth er callte producers have, during past years, sustained heavy losses In cat tle, the result of blackleg among the herds and principally among the younger stock. They have tried rem edy known on the market and yet losses continued to an appalling ex tent. Some mouths ago Mr. Hall learned of n new discovery in cac cines, made by Dr. O. M. Franklin; having made It his life's study, first In learning the true causes of black leg, the organism of cattle at vari ous ages and then to find a proper remedy for preventing it. Ho knew as everyone knows that a caccine that will not immunise a'gainst blackleg while cattle are grazing in an Infected territory is worthless un der any circumstances. This newly discovered vaccine renders it unneces sary to move cattle into different pastures after vaccination. To erradlcato the disease entirely was the study by Dr. Franklin and for many years he carried on experi ments at the Kansas Experimental Station and following the analysis and experimental work upon scientific principals, learned the method for making a germ free fluid vaccine that wont to the root of the cause for blackleg and a vaccine that safe ly Immunizes and immunizes safely. Mr. Hall upon learning this fact at once grasped It as a last hope and in vested $600 in one oredr. As the re sult of using this vaccine, no cattle have died on their ranch since they bean its use and there has been no blackleg among them. The injection of one shot, consist ing of five C. C. of this newly discov ered germ free fluid vaccine, immuni zes the young animal for life with out any further vaccination and so changes Its blood as to render it ab solutely Immune. Mr. Hall has talked with other cattle men having used It and reports are the same that has been found to be the case among his own cattel. The Tompkins Cat tle Co., of Colorado used this vac cine on 2000 head of calves last De cember and have never losta head from blackleg since that time, being the first time in the history of tin company. The Scharbauer Cattle Co. of Midland. Texas, vaccinated 1400 calves last fall and since that time have not lost a single head by black leg. Many othor equally reliable cattle men have used it ith the tame n BOX BUTTE LANDS City.
