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. It will prove baffling when the handkerchief is jerked off without
aantylng the knot u ^

V HOW TO MAKE A CARD RISE FROM YOUR HAND
fr
flow IT 100K5 S
TO TUE AUDIENCE
now it i?
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.

FIX STATE SALARIES.
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.”

SIX HORSE BIG TEAM HITCH
The Big Team Hitch meeting is to
be held at the J. K. Ernst farm on
Friday, March 31st. 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.

your farm I see the funniest things.
