COPIOUS RAINS
IMPROVE CROPS
North Nebraska and South

ly Benefited
O'Neill, Neb., _ . -Copious
rains In north Nebraska and southern
South Dakota the last week have
done rnurh to improve crop condi

July and the early part of August
however, were exceedingly dry ex
cept in spots visited by local showers
and the early corn crop was consid
erably damaged. It will not exceed
half a crop. Alfalfa also was dam
aged and the second cuttings re
duced.
Hay In the commercial wild hay
districts, now being cut, is short, but
of a superior quality and well cured.
The shortness of the hay crop will
not work a loss on th< producers be
cause of the higher prices expected
this fall and winter. There is an
abundance of pasturage In the cattle
regions south of the IClkhorn river.
This section always produces more
hay than is required to winter the
stock.

clares.
An example of literary ability, the
warden said, is seen in the writings
of an Inmate, CouzetiS Arthur Bur

in the prison.
Besides submitting articles that
have been accepted by several na

finger print expert at the institution
Foremost among his writings it
“Odors ” wh'ch ho declares Is a
"truthful necount of an experience
in Upper Burma showing how two
nations handle a question of border
survey with a slice of territory as
the prize.” Burton spent a number
of years of his life In Asia and most
of his stories are laid with this back
ground.
His poetic ambitions have been
realized with the publication of sev
eral poems in magazines, come of
which are "Calling,” ‘A Smile,” and
‘Our Children.” At present he is
hoping that his entry in a motion
picture scenario contest will ba
judged the winner.

The Old Front Porch
Remember the old front porch, dear
friends, that we hal In the days
of yore?
The porch Is gone. But the thught
lives on, of the porch that Is no
more
We used to say "Verandah” then,
when trying to be "eclat,"
But what’s a name, ’twas all the
same, a place where the family
sat.
Well, times have changed and mod
ern style has issued a decree
That the porch must go, and we can't
say no, for in style we want to
be;
But there’s something went with this
foolish ban, that I kinder hate
to see,
It's the friendly sound, of the folks
around, who'd drop In after tea.
There dad would smoke his cosncob
pip, his feet on the old porch
rail.
And the dishes don, In the evening
sun, mother sewed 'til the light
would fall;
’Twas a popular place, that old front
porch, with its "Welcome” on
the mat.
When with sheepish grin, neighbor
boys drpped In with our girls
to have a chat.
Some sort of vine "dumb up” the
side, its purpose was t shade.
And aon Id stand stood, made of rus
tle wood, with a pitcher of lem
onade;
A hammock swung across one side
and In memory still I see
The chairs of oak, that we never
broke, cushions piled on settee.
And when we held a party, Chinese
lanterns twinkled bright,
Swinging to and fro .when each
breeze would blow, on ur porch
throughout the night;
The yung floks weren’t dance crazy
then, they hadn’t gone that far,
Instead they sang, to the plaintive
twang of old SI Wayne's gui
tar.
Well, goodbye porch, though yur days
are o’er, your memory still lives
on,
Old girls and boys who knew your
joys just hate to think you’re
gone;
Old-fashioned things are out of date,
we’re living modern ways,
But fr real delight, bring back a nght,
with the porch of the olden
days.

BEING GULLED
-Their Contracts With Chica
go Concern Not What
They Thought
Lincoln, Neb., , _ (Special) —
Secretary Steward of the Nebraska
Farm Bureau federation, appeared
before the attorney general to ask,
on behalf of a group of farmers who
accompanied him, that steps be tak
en to prevent the Consumers Service
& Supply company, of Chicago ant*
Minneapolis, from collecting notes
given by farmers on contracts sold
by the company in 1920. Severny
farmers in Seward county and an
equal number in Lancaster are said
to have entered into these contracts.
These contracts provide that upon
the payment during a period of fiv*
years of |S5 the company will act as
ngent of the farmer in buying goods
and . machinery, to advise him on
legal and medical matters and to
furnish a veterinary surgeon when
needed. That is the way the farm
ers say they read them, but they
later found that in a number of mat
ters they were charged fees for serv
ices. One of the group told the at
torney general that his contract
culled for the payment of $63, but
each letter of advice was charged
against him so that in the end he
owed $161. Collection is being made
on these notes.
The company represented itself as 1
being able to buy more cheaply than
tlie farmer whatever he needed, and
to cut down the middleman's profit,
they said. The attorney general was
of the opinion that the blue sky lart
did not apply at the time the con
tracts were made.
FARM BUREAU WANTS
AID FROM COUNTS
Lincoln, Neb.. ,. (Special.)
—The Webster County Farm Bureau
Is asking the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to compel the
county board to make an appropriation
for its support. The matter was sub
mitted to a vote at the 1924 election,
and was beaten nearly 3 to 1. The
bureau claims that the election was
invalid, because a sufficient number
of names was not on the remon
strance at the expiration of the 20
days provided by law for its being
filed after the petition is put on rec
ord. The lower court held that this
20 day clause was not mandatory,
but merely directory.
The bureau points out that the
legislature intended to make it easy
to get the money and difficult to de
feat a request. It gives the bureau
nine months in which to file a pe
tition for an appropriation, and the
20 day clause is defended on the
ground that It was Intended to pre
vent a systematic agitation and to
recognize only an existent adverse
sentiment.
