So tlio People Mny Know. Not n fow of ub vividly ronioinbor the drouth poriod of 1894 nrfd 1805 when desolation gtalketl through wost orn Nebraska; whon tho father and mother, guttering from the pangs of liungor, sont tholr children to bed cry ing for food and sobbing ithonisolves to stoop awakened In tho morning to find scarcely a crust of bread; whon tho bodies of tlioso childron, clothed In tho scantiest garments dur ing a, rigid wlntor, grow cmaclatod; -whon thoro woro flroloss homos In zoro woathor; whon horsoa and cattla actually died of starvation whon nearly 700 famllios In Lincoln coun ty bocamo so- reduced as to becomo objects of oharltable assisted thro no fault of theirs Yos wo Tonjombor, and It is recalled by tho Linoclu Dally Star that In tha oarly spring of tho year 1895 thoro was introduced In the legisla ture than in session -a bill appro priating $200,000 for hO relief of tho people of wostorn Nebraska. Strango ao It may' soom, there woro mon In that legislature who Woro so de ficient In human kindness as to Ap pose tho appropriation, and among theso loglslatlvo members was Judge Abraham L, Sutton, now republican candidate for governor. An attempt was mado to dubstituto a bill appro priating but 1100,000 and Judgo Sut ton voted ftr tho substitute. Hut thanks to tho moro generous mom hors, tho substitute failed, and tho original bill came ip for final pas eago and the vcito of Judgo Sutton was recorded against tho appropria tion. By "its voto Judgo Sutton proc-' tlcally said: "Lot tho peoplo of west ern Noraska suitor and starve." Tho conditions, existing in Lincoln county and In ovory county In tho weBt part of tho state whon Judgo; Sutton voted against this approprla-, tion, Is described in an nppoal mado! by tho Lincoln County Rollof Assocla-! tlon, signed by Rov. J. C. Irwin at secretary and by all tho coutny offic ials. This nppoal was dated March 7th, 1895, and In part says: "The situation Is serious and a crisis seems to bo near at hand. Six hundred and sixty families in Lincoln county have applied for and received aid during tho past two months. What Is nooded at present and for tho next thrco months Is food, fuel, feed for tonms and seed grain. Wb can safely say i!hat thoro arc 400 families in Lincoln county ubitfutely dostVtuto of any means tc procure olthor of these. Unless thoy got food thoy will starve, unloss thoy got food and sood grain thoy can not put In a crop, and unloss thoy put In a crop they must bocomo pauporn. Thp committee lins .n hand sufficient flour to last ton days. Unless theso people aro helped at once, thoy will not bo able to reach a condition In which thoy can liolp thomsQlvos." , Judgo Suttqn Is todny appealing to tho voters of wotforn Nebraska for their support Do you honostly think ho. Is entitled to tho). support? Analyzing, tho "Dope." Editor Trlbuno: Candidates for tho legislature aro showing Indications of ballot that the peoplo are thinking. This Is as It should bo; supposedly taking tho peo plo into Khelr confidence. Whilo the othors are mixing their dope, Vt perhnps would bo woll to tako a look In on the batch already pre pared. It is well undorstocd that gen eralities never got further than elec tion day; nor doos non-constructlvo- noss evor get nnywhore. "A ware house law" has boon popular with tho fannors and has done duty for yonrs, bujt so far thoro has always boon a hitch or a Jokor, and that's as nonr as it gets to farmers until tho ap proach of another olcctlon. "Good roads" is popular. Wo all want thorn. It Is strnngo that those who a fow years ago fouglut tho ox pendituro of monoy to improvo tho roads are now champions of tho cause. "Radical cbango in road building," is of Intorewt. Is It to bo high salaried officials, who from experimental knowlcdgo do not know a grader from a haystackor, to direct tho old dirt dolvor when and whoro to build roads? Is, that "radloul change" to be a fow statowido roads for tho ploas-uro-spoodlng, non-taxpayer, or is it to mako tho markets moro accessible to country buildors without discrimination? This bill of particulars smells of eholorform with earmarks of old tlnio tnctics. Not a legislature has mot in twonty-flve yonrs without Its In surance lobby both on tho floor, and in tho lobby proper. What about tho infamous bill fought for at tho last session? Tho telephone combine Is fns't getting Its grip upon every nook and cornor of tho stato.

That you cannot always toll by hor apearance how much milk a cow will produce is shown by a test reconltly completed at the college of agricul ture by tho dairy husbandry department. in this test two cows of similar general appearance and conformation wero fed in tho same way, but pro duced widely different quantities of milk. Tho first cow produced In ono year enly 249 pounds of butter fat, valued at 30 cents a pound, and con sumed $G4.15 wortrh of feed, leaving a net profit of $10.55 above tho cost of feed. Tho second cow produced 387 pounds of butter fat and consumed $GG.50 'wiorth of feed, making the pro filt from hor year $49.60.

Simply by requiring every Maxwell dealer to carry a full supply of Maxwell parts so that he can replace any damaged or worn part at once, without waiting for, parts to be shipped from the factory. If you are a Maxwell owner your car will always be in running ordi-r because our dealer any Maxwell dealer can jiive you real and immediate service. If he couldn't, he wouldn't be a Maxwell dealer.
