ouquets are agreeable things to
receive, especially If one Is alive
-when they arrive. Another business
man we're goln gto withhold his
name made us blush again yester
day by telling us that The Herald
bad Improved 100 per cent within
the past two months. He said some
nice things about several of our ode
partmenta, and the only thing that
kept us from handing him an expen
alve cigar on the spot was the fact
that we keep ours In the safe the
first drawer to the right of the com
partment reserved for the check
book. Incidentally, this. is not the
only Intimation we have received
that The Herald Is looking up of late,
and any sore of encouragement, from
kind words to new subscriptions, Is
especially welcome In the dull days
between Christmas and New Year's.

at other times, either.

but Is spending the winter In Alli
ance, made this office a pleasant visit
last Saturday. He has sold off about
all of his surplus stock and Is "play

ing no intention of being caught with
a lot of stock on hand and the range
covered with snow. Like many an
other rancher, the wild December
weather has had him guesting, and
be Is undecided whether to buy a lot
of sheep, or let well enough along
and do no feeding at all during the
winter season. ' ' ' 1

Rev. J. Orrln Gould returned
Thursday from Lincoln, where he at
tended a. meeting of the board of
managers of the state Baptist con
ference. At this meeting, plans
were made to submit to the state
convention, which will meet In Lin
coln February 16, a new constitution
which will contain soma radical
changes. Among these la1 the plan
to do away with the boards having
charge of the various church activ
ities, and In their place will be em
ployed an executive secretary, with
.general charge over all of them. Sec
retaries will be employed for' the va
rious departments, to serve under the
direction of the executive secretary.
It Is believed that the plan will make
tor greater efficiency, and be in line
with the latest ideas in church ad
ministration: Mr. Gould had the op
portunity of twice hearing General
rershing while In Lincoln, and was
grestly Impressed. At one of these
meetings, the audience was composed
entirely of ex-service men, and on
this occasion th general was per
haps more eloquent thsn at any other
time during his visit In Lincoln.

be worth from one-third to three
times more than any other three
plow tractor in the tests.
The Hart-Parr 30 that made this
wonderful record at the Ohio tests
is now being used by the Agricul
tural Engineering Department of
the Ohio State University. -
