The Most Cream Separator Value
For Your Money
/~\N a Primrose separator there are no me
^ chanical adjustments to make except the
turning of one screw to bring the bowl to the correct
height — once a year, perhaps. Every bearing is oiled with
clean, fresh oil before the handle makes a quarter turn.
There is no chance to injure the spindle or spindle bearings
when replacing the bowl. These are three exclusive Prim
rose separator features.
The milk supply bowl is firmly set in one place — the
right place. The milk float goes into just the right
position, either side up. The gears are all rigidly fastened.
} Si The bowl has the cleanest, closest-skimming device and the
largest skimming surface ever put into a cream separator.
The Primrose is worth more than any other separator
built, and it sells for less than many of them. Drop in and
. let the dealer show you why.

Does Prohibition
Reduce Crime? }
The Promise 1
Advocates of State PROHIBITION predict there will be
fewer criminals in the penitentiary and fewer boys and girls
in industrial schools and reformatories, in case the people of
Nebraska wipe out their Local Option, High License Law and
adopt State PROHIBITION.
Let us see what are the results in Kansas under 35 years of
State PROHIBITION, and what the results are under 35 p
years of Local Option in Nebraska. jpg
The Actual Result

two states. The figures are official. Nebraska baa no Reformatory* Inmatea in

The Alley Joint in Kansas
Warden J. K. Codding of the Kansas penitentiary says that the
“LITTLE ALLEY JOINT” in the cities of Kansas makes criminals.
“After being in the penitentiary for three years and nine months (the
average sentence served) the KANSAS BOY who has gone wrong walks
out of the institution under parole * * * Cleaned, disciplined, re
formed, he leaves the penitentiary walls behind him to return to his
native city—the city that permitted him to become schooled in crime
* * * He finds that * * * his native city, the city that spoiled
him, hasn’t reformed any. IT HAS THE SAME LITTLE ALLEY,
JOINT, the same rendezvous where some of the men and boys slip down
after night to play poker and shoot craps * * * He resists it for a
while, but the pull of the destructive fight of his native city is too much
for him. He slips a little and keeps slipping, and some morning he wakes
up after a debauch to find he has broken his parole * * *”
(See Ofiirial Report of the Korniei Coof.rVace of Choritioo and Correction*
held November, 1915, page 43.)
These are the conditions surrounding the men and boys of Kan
sas. Is it any wonder that the penal and correctional institutions
in Kansas contain two and a half times as many inmates as do sim
ilar institutions in Nebraska?

They came from the north and they
came from the south,
And they came from the east to the
west
They braved all the dangers of deluge
or drouth
Endorsed by the bravest and best.
Those dear brave old women, and
brave grand old men,
Were of all nations and creed,
As children of strife, truest friends
ever when—
A friend was in danger or need.
They came from the banks of the
Thames and the Lee,
The banks of the Danube and Clyde,
From where the St. Lawrence flows
into the sea,
And the Hudson goes out with the
tide.
They built their log cabins by river
onH utrPJlTTl
And their “Dugout” or “Sod” on
the plain,
And toiled in the glpw of their young
early dream.
Of freedom this side of the main.
The hero who struggled far over the sea
In the Highlands, the home of the
gale
And the patriot who wanders a lone
refugee
O’er the mountains of old Innisfail
They heard their own eagle from old
Tara’s hall
Once again was raised high in the
air.
With the stars and the stripes, and
had issued a call
And those heroes they longed to be
there.
So they sailed in disguise from the
old Shannon’s mouth
Out westward far over the sea,
And the blood from their wounds
stained the fields of the south
That even the black might be free.
Then for freedom and peace tthey
sought the far west
With that undaunted spirit and will,
And friends like those exiles have alid
them to rest,
In the Cemeteries, up on the hill.
From the land of the Shannon, the
land of the Clyde
The land of the Thames and the
Rhine,
From where the St. Lawrence flows on
to the tide,
From the Danube of every clime—
For some loved the goddess with harp
on the green,
Some the thistle, the rose and the
bars,
And each from the Danube his national
sheen
But All loved the stripes and stars.
Some sleep on the mounds and the
hills of the west,
Some died by the foe in the vale
And only the coyote knows now where
they rest,
In the grave, by the side of the trail.
And the grave yards are scattered
o’er valley and hill,
Where the noon sheds its glimme
ring light
Where friends laid those heroes and
heroines still,
And bade them forever “goodnight.”
And many grew weary and laid down
their load
Of grief for the “Old mother sod.”
As the refugee exiles all fell by the
road
Which a thousand long years they had
trod.
And they sleep in the grave yeards,
there, up on the crest,
Each laid in which yard he may love,
Tho’ creeds force their bodies apart
thus to rest,
Their souls will unite up above.
Nor are they all dead, those vanguards
of hope
Some feeble still walk the plain
While slowly they move down the last
mortal slope
Toward thefriends they can’t meet
here again.
Their gray hairs still busy with bat
tles of life
As earnest as when they were
young
But the clang on the shield, and blow
in the strife
Is mute ere the echo is rung.
Still they thank the same God for the
mercy received,
And to the same maker they pray,
And ask for the blessings they always
believed,
Only, each, in a different way;
And they’re social and kind on the last
homeward trail,
While they tremble on crutch or on
staff
And it does the heart good to hear on
the gale
Those old fellows join in the laugh.

As we pass down by “Toncrey,” just
over the way
We see a crowd wrinkled and bent
And we know they’re the fellows, who,
once in their day ,
Made traitors relent and repent,
And we pass by the “Scale House,, and
see them again
Those heroes of all kinds of wars
I feel there’s a bow due from all sorts
of men
To those wrinkles, those crutches
and scars.
And I hope I will never belong to a
creed
Revealed by tradition or pen
I will ere hold more sacred, by act or
by deed,
Than those gray headed women and
men,
For I know if an enemy’s flag came
too high
Those wrinkles, those crutches and
scars,
Would feebly reach for a weapon,
and die
For the eagle, the stripes and the
stars. *
Yours truly,
HUGH O’NEILL.
