Disastrous aftidents caused by junior cars beinjc struck by trains at highway prade crossings are of such frequent occurrence as to shock news paper readers throughout the length, iMi. I breadth t" the land. Kvery day brines accounts of more lives sacri )if d in such accidents. Last year over 4.000 men, women and children, most of theirt riding in automobiles, were killed or injured by being f-truck by trains. Strange to say, it happened in many instances that au t niobilists in their efforts to get across, ran into the sides of passing trains. This seems like the limit f f hanee-taking. It is high time that solemn notice be taken of the frightful lack of care on the part of drivers that leads to iif of those sad occurrences. Sometimes a driver nearing a cros sing, sees an approaching train. He cannot always Jell whether it is a freight or a fast passenger. Maybe the driver decides to take a chance. He d:es not know that a fast train An run th" quarter mile from the whistling post to the crossing in fif teen seconds. The average niai: is unaware of till- fact. How often it happens that the driver, trusting to his burst of speed, or in a last ef fort to save himself, has engine trou ble or is seized with panic and so loses his life. Far too many children and youths of immature age are allowed to rim motor cars. On one of the railroads recently, a party of seven, boys, the oldest of whom, a Tad of fourteen, was driving', had their machine struck on a crossing. Four of the boys were killed on right, all of the others were injured. Somebody committed a crime when those youngsters were trusted with that car. In Iowa, the state law provides that a motor car driver shall be at least 15 years of age. Drivers know the fatal danger of being struck by a train of cars, why will they not remember that when thev approach tracks that must be crossed, their personal safety, in fact their very lives depend upon the amount of care they use. Certainly a man's life is worth more than a little effort required to save it. Kvery day millions of peo ple watch out for the safety of their money and other property. That i proper enough but it is unfortunately a fact that lots of people act as if they did not value their lives as highly as they do their cash. CASS CO.

Acid areas have been found as far west as Dawson county. In the past soil acidity has not been recog nized as a very important problem in Nebraska. It seems, however, to need more attention. One instance was recently found in Richardson county where alfalfa seeded a year ago last fall had failed to grow, al though a good stand was secured and the soil was apparently fertile. Tests run on this field showed it to be so acid that liming would be necessary in order to grow alfalfa successfully. In another instance sweet clover had been seeded three times without se curing a stand. This field was found to be strongly acid. Of ten samples tested in Cass county every one was acid. The College of Agriculture has under way a thorough investigation of acid soils and will test free of charge any samples of soilsent in. Each sample should amount to at least a pint and be made up by mix ing together portions taken from the cultivated layer from at least five places in the field. To Sell Wool Crop Co-Operatively Plans have been made to co-op eratively dispose of the wool crop in Nebraska this year by storing it in a Chicago warehouse and selling it according to the demands of the market. I,ocal farm bureaus and the Nebraska Sheep Breeders and Wool Growers association will co operate in the work. ' The wool will be assembled by counties and ship ped in carload lots. This method was used in Iowa last year with a saving of $340,000 to the sheep men of that state. Much of the Nebraska wool last year was sold in co-operative county sales, with a saving es timated at $10,000. Dipping Follows Shearing Most sheep growers follow the practice of dipping soon after shear ing in order to get rid of ticks. It is necessary to dip the lambs as well as the ewes, because the ticks tend to leave the older sheep for the lambs. Many use an ordinary hog dipping tank, if they have only a few sheep. Others dip the lambs in a barrel and wash tne ewes. A sman water tank will also serve the pur pose. It pays to do a good joo ana do the job well and see that every part of the animal il thoroughly wet. Any standard good creosote dip will do. An examination should be made in a couple of weeks and if ticks are found another dipping be made. One good dipping is usually sufficient. L. R. SNIPES, County Agent. Treatment of Common Colds "If all who catch cold could be persuaded to remain in bed for the first twenty-four hours of such an attack," says a well known physician, there would be fewer cases drag ging on with distressing symptoms for weeks and often ending in some more serious disease." To make r.ure of a prompt recovery you should also take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Whether sick or well the bowels AT MRS. T. H.

O. colors of yellow and white being used in the decorations, yellow cut flowers with the soft glow of the yellow candles and the showy napery forming the combination of the colors of the soci ety and with the glittering silver and china forming- a most pleasing and efficient manner by the young la dies of the Social Workers.

G McCliisky who responded to the toast "All Rainbows" and whose toast was received with the greatest of delight liv the ladies. Mrs. A. V.

It's the quality rof the lubricating oil that governs a motor's vibration that keeps her running smoothly and quietly and minimizes wear, v But oil should do more should keep compression tight at all engine heats and maintain an unbroken seal between pis- tons and cylinders so that fuel develops maximum power. Polarine meets all these requirements. It cushions bearings and moving parts against both wear and noise and main tains a gas-tight seal in the cylinders under all conditions of engine operation and heat. It makes motoring more pleasant and less expensive. Buy Polarine for your motor at the same place you buy economical, clean burning Red Crown Gasoline at first class garages and service stations where you see this sign. .
