TRICKS of MAGIC ox «WS£ CLEVER TRICK WITH A KNOTTED HANDKERCHIEF Have sonic one lu d out an arm, then you take a handkerchief, twist It, and place *t over the arm so the ends—A and B In the above drawing— bang beneath. Hold It there by placing your left hand on the arm with the Angers on top and the thumb beneath, as shown In No. 1. Then grasp B, twist It around your thumb beneath the arm, and double It back to the top, -as shown lu No. 2. Do the same with A, twisting It also around the thumb and doubling It hack, as shown in No. 3. You then release the thumb, with *<lraw the hand, and the handkerchief will hold together beneath the arm. fa the meanwhile you arc holding both ends above the arm with your right band. Tie those ends ,ut< a knot and grasping this knot, suddenly Jerk It, aad the ha -kerchief will como off the arm. If the operation beneath the arm fa done quick enough, the audience will be unaware that the handkerchief has been doubled back on both sides, and will believe It hns been twisted around fie arm.

PERFORMED (Attach one end of a lohg hair or piece of silk thread to the back of a playing card with a piece of wax, and the other end to a button on your coat. Then stand before a dark background where the hair or silk cannot be seen by the audience, llold the card In the left hand and loop the hair or silk .over the thumb of the right, which Is held above the card. Make hypnotic 'motions over the card with the right hand, at the same time pulling on the hair or silk with the thumb. The card will slowly rise from the hand and the audience, unable to see the material attached to tho card, will believe It Is moved by some mysterious force. Magicians do this trick by a different method, without the use of hair or thread. PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOLT COUNTY BOARD (Continued from page 5.)

State Journal: The senate Tues day adopted the conference committee report on reduction of state officers’ salaries, with the undestanding that the cuts cannot go into effect during the terms of the present state officers, ranging from two to six years. Welsh and Boelts were the senators sign ing the report. No action was taken by the house. The report was adopted in the sen ate by a vote of 24 to 6. Those vot ing against it were Halpine, Neubauer, Peterson, Van Kirk, Peterson and Purdy. Halpine explained that he voted ir. the negative because the re ductions cannot go into effect during terms of present officers and once changed the salaries cannot be re adjusted for eight years. The conference report increases the figures of the former conference com mittee in three instances, increasing the governor’s proposed salary from $5, 000 to $6,000; the attorney general from $3,600 to $4,000 and the board of control members from $3,000 to $3,200. Copies of the report on S. F. 52, bill reducing salaries of the governor and other state officers, tax commissioner, railway commission, judiciary and board of control, appeared Tuesday on desks of house members. The report carries notation of pro posed annual saving of $75,619.88. The house rejected r|cently a quite similar report, one reason being that the tax commissioner had been lifted from the $3,600 class where he had been placed by the house and bracket ed at $4,000. The current report also places the attorney general up with the tax commissioner, while the secre tary of state, auditor, land commis sioner, treasurer and superintendent are left where the house put them at $3,600. Senate and house originally agreed that $5,000 was right for the gover nor in these times. The report adds $1,000. Supreme court judges are graded at $5,000 and there has been no dispute between the two branches on this item. District judges are listed at $4,000, which is $400 more than the house provided. The rail way commission is rated at $3,200, while the house tilted this pay to $3,600 when it first had the bill. Mem bers of the board of control are group ed at $3,200 in this report. They were down as low as $3,000 during for mer legislative consideration. The present and proposed salaries are: Governor, present salary, $7,500, proposed $6,000. Supreme court, present $7,500, pro posed $6,000. Tax commissioner, present salary, $5,000, proposed $4,000. District judges, present salary, $5,000, proposed $4,000. Board of control, present salary, $4,000, proposed $3,200. Railway commission, present salary, $5,000, proposed $3,200. Secretary of state, present salary, $5,000, proposed $3,600. State auditor, present salary, $5,000, proposed $3,600. Commissioner public lands and build ings, present salary, $5,000, proposed $3,600, State treasurer, present salary, $5,000, proposed $3,600. ■ Attorney general, present salary, $5,000, proposed $4,000. State superintendent, present sal ary, $5,000, proposed $3,600. Legal beer for Nebraska was no closer to fulfillment Wednesday night following a lengthy hearing on the joint meeting of the house and senate judiciary committees, according to a special in Wednesday’s Omaha Bee News. Although proponents of measures outnumbered opponents appearing be fore the committees, the chairman de cided to delay action, giving as their chief reason the fact that all com mittee members were not present at the close of the hearing. Chairman Srb of the senate committe and Chair man Iodence of the house committee presided. The two groups probably will act individually on the measures with the house committee expected to make the first move Thursday or Friday. Identical beer bills have been introduced in each chamber as S. F. 333 and H. R. 585. Mrs. Minnie Grinstead Himes, sev eral times Candidate for Congress in the first district, was the only person to speak against the bills at Wednes day’s hearing. Arrayed against her were James H. Hanley of Omaha, representing the Nebraska Crusaders and the Nebraska Hotel Men’s Assoc iation; Carles Gardner of Omaha, also representing hotel men; Representative Rudolph Tesar of Omaha, one of the introducers of the house measure, and Ed. S. Miller of Omaha. In presenting her argument that “Nebraska wants bread, not booze,” Mrs. Himes was assisted by represent atives E. E. Binfield, Prosser, and E. P. Cromer, Gering, both avowed pro hibitionists, and James Robinson of Lincoln. Hanley, as chief spokesman for the advocates of beer, explained the bills | in full, declaring they do nothing other than define the statutory limita tion on alcoholic beverage and provide for adequate means of distributing the beverage. Both he and Tesar emphasized that the bills guard against the return of | the saloon. He said, “Surronuding states will legalize beer under provisions ap proved by President Roosevelt, part | icularly Iowa, Colorado, Wyoming and j Missouri. The latter state, enacted a beer bill last week.” iln TAe WEEK'S NEWS! FOUND BY WANT-AD. Rhymed J want-ads In newspaper “agony" col* j umns this week located America’s first woman ad-wrlter. Mrs. M.

Mr. Ernst’s farm is three and one-half miles west and one and one-half miles north of O’Neill on Highway No. 20. A set of eveners and attachments will be made beginning at 10 A. M. If you are interested in seeing these made, plan to attend. Several different hitches on farm implements will be demonstrated be ginning at 1:30 P. M. See these hitches in actual operation. Big Team Hitches will do four things for the farmer who is working horses for farm power. First, the big hitches will cut down the cost of pro duction. Second, they will speed up farm work. Third, they will get more work out of the horses available. Fourth, they will add to the pleasure of working horses. The six horse big team hitch illus trated above will probably be one of the most common ones used in Nebras ka this year. It features the hitching of three horses abreast, the drving of six horses with two lines, and the use of buck straps and tie chains on the other horses. Very few phases of farming have staged the comeback that old Dobbin has during the past four years. The use of horses on Nebraska farms will be almost universal this year and big team hitches promise to be popular all over the state. Holt county is partic ularly fortunate in getting this demon stration at this time since practically every county agent in the state asked for the demonstration and only a lim ited number could be given in the few weeks between the time the frost went out of the ground and the rush of spring work.
