Congressman Pollard Secures Spraying and
Seed Grain Tests.
Congressman E. M. l'ollard writes to
the editor of the Nebraska City Tri
bune of the fruit spraying tests and
seed grain tests which tie lias secured
from the Department of the Agricul
ture for the current year as follows:
"Thinking that you might be Inter
ested In securing a list of the farmers
with whom the demonstrations In
spaying are to be made In our district
and the fanners who will co-operate
with the Agricultural Department In
an endeavor to Improve the quality of
our seed grains, 1 am sending youalUt
of the same. 1 have tinally succeeded
In prevailing on the Department to
make extensive demonstrations in
spraying Iruit throughout the Mis
souri valley. Mr. V. M. Scott of the
l nlted Mates Department of Agricul
ture will have general supervision or
this work throughout the valley and
Mr. James llorer iwill have charge of
the work in Nebraska. In view of the
fact that so little spring wheat is
grown In the district, the department
will do nothing with this crop, but
will take up the experiments in win
ter wheat this fall. This is the tirst
work of this character that has ever
been carried on in the west and think
ing that perhaps you might like to
have this list 1 am sending it to you.

COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Fiattsmouth Household Will Find
Thsm So.
To have the pains and aches of a
Dad back removed: to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders is enough to make any kidney

great change can he brought about
will prove comforting words to hund
reds of Piattsmouth readers.
J. M. lleibcl. of HO'.i South 2:itli st,.
Omaha, Neb., says: "I used Plan's
Kidney Pills and consider them a
grand medicine for the kidneys. For
four days I sulTered more than I can
tell and used medicine from doctors
and other treatment, but nothing
cave me relief. I saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised and procured a box.
I took only one box. It did the work.
I can truthfully say that I feel better
after finishing the treatment than I
had for four years. You are at liberty
to use my name and I hope it may be
the means of benefiting others who
suffer from kidney complaint."

"Boost" Your Home Papers.
The local newspaper is one of your
best friends. Your Interests are Iden
tical. When you have a fund set aside
for advertising or publicity, see that
your local newspaper gets the most of
It, even If not all of It. It is true that
there are hundreds of methods to be
pursued In bringing your wares before
the trade, but you will find the local
paper the best avenue. A sign on the
fence may catch the eye of a casual
passerby, but the fence hoards do not
circulate into the hundreds of homes
as is the case with the newspapers.
The ne wspa iters go to the customers1
with your ad, while the customers, in
order to see yourad on the fence board
must go to the fence. Resides, to ap
prise the public that your ad is on the
fence you must of necessity tell them
.ihniit It In the uev.siiimer or visit each i ' '
No. ., man
nome in pcisoo in spu-ini uii: usu-i.
A newspaper Is seldom a "knocker."
It Is continually heralding to the
world the good traits of your town.
Every little ''boost" finds mention in
the paper. If the town has a draw
back, the paper will not advertise this
to the world. Every improvement In
your town Is noted in the columns of
your local paper, and the editor mere
ly gets a '-thank you'' for Ills praise of
yourcommunity. Therefore, when so
many good things are said of your
town, free of charge, they help your
town. It stands to reason that when
your town is given a lift your business
profits by t his. Then, to reciprocate,
it Is no more than right that you
should spend your advertising money
with your newspaper, especially when
you are getting value received. Oma
