Senator Burkett has introduced an amendment to the agricultural appro priation bill appropriating $.10,000 for an experimental denatured alcohol fac tory at Lincoln. It was thought the department had funds at its command, without a new appropriation, to put in such a plant, but Secretary Wilson on investigation informs Senator Burkett that it has no such available cash. Ac cordingly effort will be made for espec ial appropriation, of which $20,000 will go into machinery and $10,000 intobuild ing; the site to be provided by the Ne braska agricultural experiment station authorities. This would produce a plant of ten times the capacity of the small one in Washington, or 1,000 gal lons of alcohol a day, and would give op portunity to test the value of the by products secured incident to making alcohol. Call and Seethe Piano. The public is cordially invited to call at the sales room of the Plattsmouth Music Company in the Riley Block south of the postoflice and see the fine How ard piano which the News-Herald will give away on the 3d of April.

The manufactur ers have been making pianos for over fifty years and the experience gained in that length of time is embodied in this fine instrument. Mr. Becker will take pleasure in exhibiting It to anyone call ing at his store. Never before has a piano of this grade been offered in any contest anywhere. Something to Laugh At. Next to a kiss a laugh is the most popular thing in the world. The sup ply of kisses is limited, being largely controlled by n fair but capricious trust. The supply of laughs, however, is prac tically unlimited so long as you don't get too grumpy to look for them, i One reason for the remarkable success of The Chicago Record-Herald is its daily recognition of the value of kindly, wholesome fun. t The "Alternating Currents" column of S. E. Riser, the humorist and poet, is one of the bright est things in American journalism. There is always a smile or a good laugh in Ralph Wilder's cartoons, bringing a cherry greeting as you pick up the paper each morning. But it is in The Sunday Record Herald that one finds the most chuck les. The colored comic section is full of laughter for young and old, and these amusing illustrations are free from the vulgarity and mischievous suggestions that have barred so many comic sec tions from refined homes. Then there is always a lit of high-class humor in the Sunday Magazine of The Record- I Herald, led by Swell Ford's inimitable Shorty MK'abe stories. The delectable Shorty, we understand, is to appear every other Sunday throughout the pre sent year. No other character in fic tion, unless it be Mr. Dooley, can match I him as a funmaker. As long as Shorty i and his devoted Sadie are on deck there will bo fomething worth-living for. The Record Herald has the right ('lean humor doubles the wel- idea. 1 come of u K"(1 newspaper.

There has arisen within the Sunday school the past few years, one of the mightiest forces that has yet been seen in this important field of religious ed ucation. The organized Adult Bible Class movement at first spoiadic in its growth, finally adopted as a part of the international Sunday School Associ ation work, has attained a growth not heretofore known of any other move ment in so short a time. In l'M only two State Associations had an Organ ized Adult department, but today there are few states which do not have a live and flourishing Adult department. Ne braska was one of the first states to Incorporate this department, after its formal adoption by the International Association, and it is therefore fitting that Nebraska should be one of the states in which there is to be held with in a few weeks, an Institute or Confer ence on Adult Bible Class Work, led by tho International Superintendent, W. C. Pearce of Chicago. Mr. Pearce is on a tour including some of tho largest eastern cities, coming to Nebraska from Des Moines, and going from here to Denver. The Conference dates have been set for March 2 and 3 in Lincoln. The subjects to be considered embrace practically all the questions and prob lems met in the organization and main tenance of tho Organized Bible Class work. It is one meeting during 1909 which Sunday School and other religious workers should not miss, for the inter change of ideas will be especially help ful to all delegates. It is hoped that many of the denominational leaders be present, and especially is it desired lhat organized classes throughout the state be represented by at least one delegate. Full information may be secured by writing to the Slate Sunnay School As. sociat ion office in Lincoln. Make the Com do the Work. Three thousand argora goats herded out on the bruslicovcred foothills of California are going to do some hard work for Uncle Sam during the coming two years beginning this spring. The experiment will be unique both as a stock raising proposition and as an engineering and tree culture problem. The little white animals whose long wool is of such gnat value are going to. be put to no less a task than construct ing mile after mile of fire line through the bushy chaparral growth in the National Forests, saving much labor by the United States Forest Service engineers and making way for fore station by merchantable trees. Not the least important feature of the ex periment, which for the first two years will be confined to the Lassen Forest, is the fact that the task will be per formed during the regular grazing by the goats which will not even realize they are doing a valuable work.

Whenever I hear one those worldly wise chaps using that expresesion, "Where do I get off?"
