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

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

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

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

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
