Tho Journal says: "President Wilson's and all other preparedness programs were given a solar plexus blow by A. L. Ulxby In nn addross before nearly 800 men at .the Oliver theatre Sunday afternoon. At tho closo of his addrjtas thoro was no remaining doubt as to whore and how Mr. Hlxby stood on tho wnr question. That war preparation is In reality war; that to handle the Im plements of war must uontnmlnate one with war Itself; that tho navy league, sponsor of tho elaborato pre paredness program, Is an organization founded and encouraged for individ ual and corporate gain; that thoro Is no call for propnrednoss and thnt the wnr1 infection that had taken hold of politicians had even caused "our usually lovol bonded president to turn from a policy of peace to one of ,mod dorato preparedness and from Hint to n clear cut. advocacy of the biggest navy in: tho world" were a few of thd high spots touched by the speaker." ::o:: Walters Flics for Clerk.

Much of the crop did not ma ture before frost nnd scarcely anylwas fully dried before severe freezing oc curred. Corn which was not dry be fore freezing Is either killed or weak ened in vitality and therefore unfit for seed. Farmers tire advised not to wait un til planting time to find out whether their seed corn will grow. Tosts of 100 or more kornels from fifty or more cars should first bo mado. If the seed is found not to be good, the only way that it can be Improved Is to trfs't each ear and discard all tho poor cars. The Experiment Substation will as sist farmers who wish to determine the vitality of their seod corn. Hrlng or send 100 or more kernels from i number of cars. If you have any 1014 corn bring a sample of that also. Call upon tho Station for ndvlce regard ing tosts to be made at homo. A box of wet sand kept In the living room makes a good tester. L. L.

To realize tho steady progress that has been made one only has to compare tho quality and quantity of the service today with what it was ton years ago. Even in the last flvo years the number of telephones in use has been practically doubled and the distance of telephono transmission multiplied many times. Our rates are the lowest possible nnd yet afford sufficient revenue to pay a reasonable return on the money invested, after paying fair wages and after providing sufficiently to rebuild or restore parts of the plant when destroyed by fires or storms, or when it is worn out or becomes obsolete. It is our constant endoavor to give the best service at the lowest rates at which it can be furnished, so we shall be able to connect every ono who will add to the sorvic? to others. NEBRASKA TELEPHONE COMPANY L'dlson SlxlyOilnc Today. Thomas Alva Edison will celebrate hla sixty-ninth birthday today. Ho Is still hale, hearty and active and as deeply interested in what the coming year lias In store as a youth with all of life ahead. Edison was born at Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. He early evinced a love for choinlsvry and its kindred subjects. Few men have ever run nt a swifter pace up the stopping stones fa fame. His first employment vas as n newsboy on the Grand Tnlnic Railway where he started on a small weekly paper which at one time had four hundred paid subscribers. He next took up telegraphy and soon be came an expert telegrapher. After five years of telegraphy he ciuno to New York where after a short time he gold his first Invention for about $49, 000. Then he plunged Into tho realm of invention whore his genus seemed to run riot. Take his major Inven tions ns they come: The Duplex and Quadruplex Tele graphs and tho Electromotograph, which revolutionized telegraphy; the Cylinder Phonograph In 1S87, now the Diamond Amborola Phonograph; In 1879 tho Electric light which needs n.) words to toll its wonders; In 1891. the Movfrtg Plctifrc, which today as "Tho Movies," are furnishing amueomont to thousands upon thousands; n method of crushing ore, by which rocks weighing as much as ten tons each are reduced to bits in a few seconds; th? Storage Hattery; then his last and favorite Invention, tho Dinmond Disc Phonograph. From 1809 to tho pres ent time Edison has filed more than 1,400 applications for patents. Just a few years ago Edison resum ed his research in acoustics whore ho left off when he invented tho Cylinder Phonograph. Ho was dissatisfied with tho efforts of other Inventors in this field. He set before tho goal of abso lute re-creation of music. After countless experiments nnd the expend iture of nearly two millions of dollars In experiments nlone, Edison an nounced that "he had succeeded in re creating tho human voice. He said that he had found the touchstone of ncoustics. The Edison Dinmond Disc Phonograph was glvon to tho world as the instrument of Music's re-croa- tlon. If has since been proved on num berless occasions that Edison's Re Crention of the human volco cannot be distinguished from the original. For tie purpose of demon grating Mils, Edison has given Tone Tests all over the United States, in which the artist sings with h'is or her records It being actually impossible to dis tinguish the living voice nnd ihs re crcatikm1 of the Diamond Disc Phono graph. . ::o:: Miss Ruth Fitzgerald, toif Lincoln, arrived a few days ago to visit her sis ter Mrs. Karl Hamilton for n fort night.
