Snipe?, the Cass County Agricultural Agent, of Weeping Wat er, is new getting busy after his county organizations to the best in terests of each and every commun ity. Murray has been selected as the meeting place for East and Wen Rock Bluffs precincts, and the orga nization meeling iias been called -for April 13th, at the Puis and Canse- mer hall at 8:30 p. m. It may lie the opinion of some farmer that Mr. Snipes is going to try and tell them how to handle the business of their farm, but this is not true. He only wants to help you by telling you of what he has seen in some other lo cality, of what your neighbor might have or what he might know that will help you. He ill thoroughly cover Cass county, and will be in touch with the best farming inter ests of Cass county. The meetings are being held for the purpose of ascertaining the lines that each pre cinct is interested in, and those linos will be the ones taken up by the or ganization.

L. R. SNIPES. County Agricultural Agent. At the meeting yesterday of the board cf county commissioners when they were considering the bids for the construction of the bridges of the county there were three bidders for the work. They being the Western Bridge Construction Company of Omaha, the Monarch Engineering company of Falls City, and Omar K. Reed of Omaha. The bids varied greatly as to the cost, and the differ ence was great, being a diverg ence cf thirty-three per cent, that it was considered the better way, for the board to take the figures to the Stat Engineer . at Lincoln. who would be thoroughly conversent with the cost of material, the cost cf labor, and those elements which go into the' construction of bridges, as to whether the lowest bid was a reason able bid, and whether the bridges co'ild be constructed' for the price named. The board think it probably to go to Lincoln in a body and go over the matter with the state enri- sYour farm implements, taken all together, form a great crop making machine, each part o which is dependent on the oth er. The whole is no better than the poorest implement in it. Poor seed-bed making by an inferior plow, for instance, will make it impossible for your planter and cultivator to give the profit that they should give. Likewise, inaccurate planting will lessen the returns from the best of seed beds and thorough cultivation. And a cultivator that will not destroy weeds and conserve moisture without injuring the crop plants cuts the profit from the use of your other imple ments. Thus it is with practically every implement on your farm. Even a single fault in one im plement will handicap other im plements and mean the loss of many possible dollars in pro! c from your season's work. The purpose of our servij" ; you is to help you get full .per formance from every implement. We carry for your bent lit a full line of implements espec ially adapted for use in this section. Each of them bears a trade-mark that assures the be.t of material and workmanship. With none of them do you hav'j to run the ritk of experimenting in your fields of letting 0110 implement handicap the servico from your other implements. Each is the successful result of thorough ' experiments carrie d on by the manufacturers under a variety of actual field condi tions the same conditions that prevail on your farm. Have every implement iri your crop-making machinery fully reliable this year. Drop in and study the implements that we have to help you.

Word that American reinforcements are moving to the support of the allies in Pic ardy has revived argument in Ger many over the efficiency of the sub marine and drawn from Captain Pcr sius, military critic of the Berliner Tageblatt, the comment that, after being persuaded to underestimate America, German opinion is under going a change. An qfiicial dispatch, from Switzer land today, reviewing the latest dis cussion, quotes Captain Persius, as follows: "We were at first a groat deal persuaded to underestimate the par ticipation of America in the war. Wo begin now to note a change of opin ion. It is beyond a doubt that it would be well to curl) at tha present time these more or less fantastic vagaries of persons discussing tho submarine war. "We cannot for the moment es:i mate when the United States will have ready the millions of men h:r population will permit her to rai.v, but iz is certain America will, in tho very ner.r future, succeed in amass ing armies, which, in any c--.se, wiil constitute a very valuable aid for our enemies." Captain Persius concludes by not ing that America is preparing for a war of long duration. NOTICE TO PATEONS.
