an Alliance visitor the ti rst of the
week. He is here getting MQUnlntod
with stockmen and boosting the St.
.Joseph market. Mr. Calvert r sides
in Lincoln and baa reeetu'y ma le a
tour of the east central pOfttOO of the
stat". He states that there is a very
large acreage of corn in Unit part of
the state and that conditions up to
thlt time could not he better Tor a
bumper yield. While the wheal crop
in that section will yield only from
ten to twenty bushels to the acre, last
year there was practically no whea'
ratted In that portion of the state.
Speaking of the live stock situa
tion. Mi. Calvert asserts that he can
6 only a blight future for the stock
men, especially those who make it a
business to raise stock. Prices are
now higher than ever known before
and the demand for beef increases.
Fairly fleshy cattle that in former
years sold only for feeders will also
be BOUght after by the packers, which
will force feeders to pay higher prices
than last year for this same class of
cattle.
"If the prospects are not bright
now for the cattle raisers." says Mr.
Calvert, "it is hard to tell just what
it wotdd take to brighten them."

Little Walter Has Gone Home.
Now the family chain is broken;
One link from that happy band;
Those we dearly love has left us.
Left us for a happier land.

Sickness has prevailed upon him
Jesus called him, he must go.
Vain were all the kind endeavors
To restore his health again
Mother, physician, none could help
him.
Why were all their labors vain?
His earthly years were f'w in num
