BRIEFLY STATED From several farmers, in the north ern part of the county, comes word that the grasshoppers have started working in the corn. In that section of the county they were not favored -with the rains of last week and the jyrass and weeds are getting dry and the hoppers have tackled the corn. Many of the farmers in the section affected are unahle to buy poison bran and unless some effort is made to head off the scourge, severe damage is liable to be done to what promises to be a splendid corn crop. John Cihlar, one of the progressive and prosperous farmers of Steel Creek precinct, was a caller at thi office lust Friday, extending his subscrip-1 tion to this household necessity. Mr. j Cihlar says that the grasshopper- are getting very active in his section of the county and that he and his neigh bor, Mr. Carson, were compelled to cut their oats, when they were quite green on account of the damage done by the hoppers. He said that he and his neighbors were going to feed them poisoned bran in an attempt to clean their fields of the pests. Charles Coyle, of White River, and ■James Coyle, of Belle Fouche, South Dakota, were in the city last Sunday i on their way to Norfolk, Nebraska.

No tice the row of bright wood*'1 bracelets matching the cap plaintiff alleges that she is the owner of the following described real estate, Mtuateu in Holt county, Nebraska: The south half of the northwest quart er and south half of section 14, town hip 31 north of range 9. She alleges that on August 1, 1887, William H. Anderson gave a mortgage on the southwest quarter of northwest quarter and northeast quarter of southwest quarter to insure payment of a note given to J. B. Lucas for the sum of $20. Plaintiff asks that this be barred by the statute of limitations, no payment having ever been made thereon. On August 1, 1887, William H. And erson gave a mortgage on said land to Lew Harrow, to secure a loan of $100. Said mortgage was later as signed to Emory B. Bottle. This note was due on August 1, 1892 and as there was no payment made thereon plaintiff asks that it be barred by the statute of limitations. P^iirftiff further alleges that on April 30, 1898, Wm. B. Bottle executed and delivered to Carol L. McElhaney a warranty deed to this property. That said William Bottle was the heir of Emory B. Bottle and that Emory B. Bottle received title to the land by deed dated September 1, 1890. On February 9, 1903, McElhaney and wife mortgaged this property to Bernard McGeevey to secure payment of a loan of $8,388.85. McGreevey later sold this mortgage to the Elkhorn Valley Bank and gave them an assignment thereof. Said assignment was lost and never recorded, hence failed to be come a lien against the property. Pluintiff alleges that McGreevey claims some interest, but alleges that he has none as he received valuable consid eration for said note when he disposed of same to the bank, and is estopped from having any lien or claim to said land. Plaintiff therefore asks that she may be declared to be the owner in fee simple of said real estate. CONSIDER GRAIN EMBARGO TO STOP SPREAD OF CORN BORER An American Press special to the daily press from Kansis City states that a virtual embargo on corn and various seeds and grains originating in thirteen eastern and northern states was agreed upon by officials of several cornbelt states as a measure to com bat the westward advance of the European corn borer. Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri were represented at a meeting here, called by Dr. K. C. Sullivan, Missouri plant commissioner, to plan the fight against the insect pest, which has approached to within fourteen miles of the Illinois border. Messages promising cooperation were received from Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, Arkansas and Minnesota. The Missouri state board of agri culture, Dr. Sullivan said, porbably will issue immediately a quarantine order barring corn and various other grains originating in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachussets, Connecti cut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Mich igan, Indiana and West Virginia. Co operation of the cornbelt states be came essential, Dr. Sullivan said, be cause the government found itself without funds to combat the pest.

HOLT COUNTY FARM BUREAU NOTES Give Clothes a Sun Bath Clothes, draperies, or other mater ials harboring clothes moths should be removed from the house, brushed well and hung in the sun all day. When they are taken down they should be brushed again thoroughly before being taken into the house. By this time any larvae present should be dead. The closets where these moths were found should be thoroughly cleaned, the walls brushed and the floors scrub bed with a good soapy water. Where insects get into upholstered furniture they can often be controlled by the use of a high grade gasoline or else the furniture may be fumigated. Such furniture can be made moth proof by the use of a good moth-proofing chemical. Warehouses are usually e quipped to do this moth-proofing or furniture fumigating work. August Planted Rye Good Early Pasture Providing there is plenty of mois ture, August planted rye makes good early pasture for livestock, according to Prof. H. J. Gramlich, Chairman of the Animal Husbandry Department of the Agricultural College. He says ex perience has shown that the crop can be grown successfully for both fall and early spring pasture. The rye comes through the ground quickly with reasonable moisture and affords pasture during the fall. Five days after planting it has come thru the ground at the Agricultural Col lege. The ground should be plowed and harrowed as early as possible before planting and is usually sowed at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. Planted the first week in August following a rain, the crop will make pasture late in September and again early in the spring months. Farmers who do not desire to plant the rye in August how'ever, may wait until later when it can be disced in the corn stalk ground where ensilage or fodder has been cut. REORGANIZED BANK MUST PAY OLD FEE According to Lincoln papers the supreme court last Tuesday affirmed the decision of the Lancaster district court that the reorganized State Bank of Florence was liable for the assess ments levied against the original corp oration for the benefit of depositors guaranty and final settlement funds. The court held that in the reorgan izing ar.d reopening of an insolvent state bank under the new law the change in capitalization, officers and management does not create a new or dissolve the old corporation. It oper ates under the original charter with its identity unchanged, but the insolv ent corporation still survives for pur pose of liquidation or reorganization. There is no dissolution of the old bank and no creation of a new one, under terms of the law. Justice Rose wrote the opionon. The bank owed $7,215 in unpaid as sessments at the time it was reorgan ized. It was never in the hand of a receiver, and was reopened within six weeks after being closed under an agreement by which the depositors and unsecured creditors took assignment of the slow and doubtful assets up to 60 per cent of their claims, getting credit as depositors in the new bank for the other 40 per cent.
