You
Deserve
The Balance
Saving or not saving is simplv
a matter of paying less for the
same quality.
When you pay less you keep
the difference for yourseli. It
doesn't take long for such sav
ings to add up to a neat sum.
You might as well have that
money. There are plenty oi
things you can do with it.
Every time a sale is rung up
for you from the ads in this
newspaper a saving is added
up for you to keep in your

THE NEBRASKA
SCENE.
By the Lowell Service
The $30 a week ham and bacon
campaign in California has reac
tions in Nebraska. Militant cir
culators of the Bryan petitions
found their task easier after news
papers announced the result on the
Pacific coast. Terry Carpenter re
ceived the news in Lincoln. He
called in his advisers to map out a
course of procedure for the demo
cratic state convention at Colum
bus. In a number of legislative
districts, renewed old age pension
agitation became apparent.
Secretary of State Swanson has
published the initiated game of
chance machine proposal in every
newspaper in the state. On meas
ures initiated by the circulation of
petitions the secretary of state has
jurisdiction. On amendments sub
mitted by the legislature the gov
ernor designates the papers thal
will be given the right to publish
Secretary of State Swanson will
order republication of the game of
chance amendment the week of
October 4, when publication will
begin on the short ballot proposal
and the amendment to reduce li
ability on bank stock. Deputy
Secretary of State Donald Devries
estimated that publication of the
short ballot amendment would cost
$30,000.
Nominees successful in the Iasi
primary will not receive certificates
from the secretary of state unless
they have filed expense accounts
Many unsuccessful ones neglected
this requirement of the statute
In the cases of the losers, their in
fractions of the law will be ignored
However, the winners will not find
their names on the ballot in No
vember unless their expense ac
counts are on file, and the rule will
be enforced, declares Secretary
Swanson, even when no money was
spent in the campaign. More thar
sixty directors in rural public pow
er districts have failed to comply
with the law relative to listing
campaign expenses.
Aspirants for the office of countj
attorney thruout the state are in
terested in the action of the OmahE
Bar association in asking candi
dates for office to sign pledges
agreeing to refrain from privat«
proctice. The movement will un
doubtedly find support in the largei
counties. In counties with smal.
1 population, it is believed that sue!
a scheme is unfeasible.
The resolution provoked acrim
onious discussion in Omaha. “Th<
object of this resolution is not t<
get better service for the county,’
declared Ben S. Baker, veterai
jurist and lawyer. “The object is
to clip off the county attorney’!
clients and divide them among our
selves. Let us not stand aroun<
* like a bunch of old hens trying t<
1 grab the same kernel. You migh
as well ask an undertaker who ii
* candidate for sheriff to get out o:
* the business and give it all to th<
7 other undertakers.”
Grenville P. North declared tha
1 “this is a fight by the independen
f attorney^ against the big law firm
i and the attorneys for the corpora
tions and the insurance companies
f It grows out of the fact that th'
1 independent lawyers are starvini
1 to death.”
i . _
State Engineer Tilley has beei
holding about four sessions a
month to probe complaints against
automobile dealers. So far the
charges against the automobile
salesman are confined to minor
matters.
One feature of the bill to create
a little NRA in the auto industry
has not been put into effect. This
is the price fixing clause. The fair
trading practices act, also passed by
the last legislature, is now before
the supreme court bn a test of con
stitutionality. If the law is sus
tained, State Engineer Tilley states
that the automobile act will be
enforced in its entirety.
“The prices that should be
charged for a used ear," he stated,
“may then be controlled by con
certed action on the dealers co
operating with the state engineer’s
office. We are now making a sur
jvey by getting information thru
the dealers concerning the models
of the various manufacturers and
the prices that should be charged.
Then we will compile a bulletin
setting forth the fair prices that
should be asked for used cars. All
second hand cars must carry the
state safety sticker and be guaran
teeed in good condition by the
dealer."
The truckers of Nebraska expect
to put up a real battle for more
favorable conditions when the 19.19
legislature convenes. Headquar
ters of the association have been
moved from Omaha to Lincoln and
Secretary Hall of Omaha has re
signed. Friction and internal
troubles are denied by Mr. Hall. He
asserts that the office of the organi
zation should be in Lincoln in order
to maintain constant contact with
the railway commission and be
ready with a militant organization
when the legislature meets. A new
secretary will be elected at an
early date. »
Administrator Dwight Felton of
the WPA reports a decided increase
in the requests for aid from farm
ers. So far there is no provision
for employment or direct aid for
the rural cases. Mr. Felton is in
close touch with county commis
sioners. He has placed the pro
blem before Harry Hopkins at
Washington.
Clarke-McNary Tree
Plantings Inspected
Keith Reeder, student assistant
from the Extension Forester’s office
at the agricultural college, checked
Clarke-McNary.,tree plantings in
Holt county this past week. These
windbreak demonstration plantings
have been established as a part of
the farm bureau educational pro
gram.
In spite of favorable growing
conditions last spring, these plant
ings should be cultivated regularly,
it was found. Cultivation saves
soil moisture for the trees to use
during hot, dry spells which nor
mally come in August and Sep
tember.
Small trees require little mois
ture the first few years. Inspec
tions show though that three or
four weeds around a small tree
wastes enough moisture to keep
the tree alive and growing during
an entire season.
Mr. Reeder remarked that plant
ings on the H. A. Van Horn farm
5 miles south and 2 miles east of
Page, are an outstanding example
of how trees will survive and grow
if they are planted properly and
receive good care. Mr. Van Horn
has planted 2.100 Clarke-McNary
seedlings in the last two years and
at the present time has over 90 per
cent of the trees growing.
Mr. Van Horn bases the good
results with tree planting on pre
paration of soil before planting,
careful planting to see that the
roots do not dry out, and clean
cultivation. In the areas where
sand might blow badly, Mr. Van
Horn suggests leaving a few weeds
between the row, but emphasizes
that the area around the tree must
be kept clean so as to conserve the
moistpre for diy spells which we
have just experienced. This is one
of the finest plantings that was
' visited this year.
1 Ordinary farm equipment is suit
able for keeping trees clean. How
ever, a hoe should be "used occas
1 sionally around the trees them
1 selves. This procedure keeps weeds
and grass from taking soil mois

ture. Also, it leaves the ground
in condition to absorb rainfall.
Young trees kept in thirfty condi
tion are much better able to stand
insect attacks or adverse weather.
It is advisable for farmers to
determine now where they expect
to plant trees next spring and pre
pare the ground this fall either by
listing or plowing. This method
will permit the storage of fall and
winter moisture and leave the
ground in excellent condition for
planting next spring.
