The basketball team of Alvo met
th team of Roca. at Bethany, last

V. W. Hoffman had a sale of fine
hosrs lat week, they being sold at
auction and many of them sold as

Uncle P. J. Linn, who has been so i
badly affilicted with rheumatics for

with the rheumatism and neuritis,
l)i;t seems to be knocking them both
out at this time.
Mrs. Dora Anderson, living west
of Alvo. was shelling and delivering
corn to the Rehmeyer elevator in
Alvo last Saturday, but on account of
the very bad roads there would be a
lot of corn delivered at the city of

the same will be brought in.

fully spent at the tables and the hon

by the citizens and people along the
road for the graveling of the road
from the cemetery south of Alvo on
the "O" street road through Alvo and
to intersect the D. L. D. highway
teven miles north of town. This
would allow an outlet and make a
good road for the large amount of
traffic which goes that way to Omaha
and the people of Alvo claim that
there is an average of twenty truck
loads of stock that goes over this
line in a dav.

Gives Results in Premiums to
Stock Shippers.
It will be of interest to those who
have questioned the payment of prem -
iuirs on swine -from Nebraska, or -
iginating in counties certified as
niotlified tubercniosis-free areas, to
have certain information that has
come to the attention of the Nebraska
Bureau of Animal Industry. The re
port made is not complete as to the
entire amount of premium that has
been paid to the owners of swine from
these counties, but the statement is
correct insofar as it covers this sub
ject. There are six counties in Ne
braska at the present time which
have been certified as modified tuberculosis-free-
areas by the United States
and the Nebraska Bureau of Animal
Industry. These counties, are namely:
Burt. Butler, Cass, Gage, Polk and
Thayer.
The packers at the market centers
agreed shortly after the work for
the eradication of tuberculosis from
cittlo was established under the
county nr a plan that they would pay
a premium of ,10c cwt. on swine bred
'and fvd i:i counties that would be es
! tabli.-hed as modified tuherculosis
jfree areas. This certification requires
jthat r.ll li-rds of breeding cattle be
j tuberculin tested, and when the test
,ing of nil cattle in a county shows
jthat not more than one-half of cne
I per cent of the cattle tested are affect
! ed with tuberculosis the county may
I be certified.
The summary that has been made
j shows that on 17,937 swine marketed
;r.t Omaha, Kr.nsas City and St. Joseph,
'a total of ?-!.234.73 in premium has
been paid at the rate of 10c per cwt.
jThis is in addition to the market
I pi ices paid for the swine. A larger
! amount than this has been paid but
the figures that are available cover
only that part applying to the number
herewith given. The following table
summarizes the counties from which
the shipments were made and the
amount of premium that has been
paid to the owners in these respective
counties:

TOTALS
It should be appreciated in review-
ling these statements that this pre
mium is paid on the. recognition by
jofUcial certification that the cattle of
the county are free of tuberculosis.
'Every county in Nebraska lias the
opportunity afforded these counties
.which are at the present time receiv
ing such benefits. There are twenty
I one counties in Nebraska which have
(been declared by the Secretary of the
Nebraska Department of Agriculture
as are.'-s for the eradication of tuber
culosis. These represent more than
20 of the county units in the state,
or, in orther words, one out of every
five counties has been established as
an area.
GOLDEN RULE SCHOOLS
Some time ago the Field radio sta
lion at Shenandoah. Iowa, supplied
large number of the counties of
l lie state's oi lowa aim .M'urasKa,
. . j -r i '
(Jo'den Rule leaflets which were dis-
tributed among the various schools,
the county superintendents looking
after this work and seeing that the
schools were given the full oppor
tunity of taking up this line of work.
The Golden Rule pamphlets provided
that there should be more of the
teachings of the golden rule among
the pupils of the schools. This county
lias more of the Golden Rule schools
than any county in the state.
Miss ,iipna retei"son, county super -
intrndent of Cas:" county, has receiv-
ed a copy of the Evening Sentinel
World of Shenandoah, which has a
very interesting account of the work
ings of the golden rule in the schools:

Foresee Repub

Farm Relief
' aom- MVMtiltoM Prlies Tn"ireetlv

to Ex-Governor McKelvie's State
ment that Talk Is Bunk.
I.fncoln.'Neb., Feb. 5. Indications
here today were that the republican
Tarty in Nebraska was in the way of
I cing split over its farm relief policy.
There was universal assent to the be
lief that Governor McMullen and
Former Governor S. R. McKelvie
each had a rope on either side of the
"grand old party" column, and was
jassidously tugging away.
In Iowa this week Mr. McKelvie
flat-footedly advanced the opinion
though in somewhat indirect fash
ion that the McMullen "hullaballoo"
about helping the farmer was noth
ing but "bunk." In Lincoln today
Governor McMullen, although with
out mentioning Ihe name of McKel
vie, just as directly declared that the
McKelvie speech was "hokum." and
wondered what kind of solf-headed-ness
could lead a man into such a way
of thinking.
Can't Figure Out Thinking.
"I can't figure out the psychology
that 13 precedent to that kind of
thinking," Governor McMullen said.
throwing his hands above his head
in a gesture 01 l give up.
"Why should we be so timid about
trying something for the help of
agriculture? Men make speeches and
I get letters from farmers, even.
They weep and wail and say can t
vou see this ort of thing is hurt
ing the state? Some people will be
afraid to lend their money here.
Agriculture is all right.'
'Of course, agriculture is not
bankrupt, but that doesn't mean that
it can't become more prosperous. The
peculiar thing about all this is that
the railroads can continue to go about
with long faces and complain of bank
ruptcy, business can do it, and it's
all right, it doesn't hurt the tate
at all4 but as soon as it is pointed out
that the farmer couia tie neiicr 011
by a little help, the howl about hurt
ing the state goes up."
The governor said he had been
getting a lot of letters from Nebraska
farmers written in this vein. He also
indicated plainty, but without men
tioning names, that he had read the
McKelvie speech.
Impressed With Lowden Boom.
lie indicated further that the Low
den Boom, generally conceded to be
a national republican scheme to head
off the president, i3 making a pleas
ant, impression on him.
"I used to think Lowden was a
good deal of an aristocrat," he said.
"But I've changed my mind. I've
talked, with,,, him, and I found that we
could get along pretty easily, even
cussing a little together. I've con
cluded that Lowden is a very demo
cratic chap, and I'm sure that he be
lieves in doing something decisive
and definite for agriculture."
The rift which appears in this
division of opinion on the framer's
business goes far beyond the re
cent Iowa conference or any of the
late farm "movements." For nearly
a year, a sentiment not too favorable
to Governor McMullen has been
growing among the wheel horses of
the party. Tatronage disappoint
ments, executive delays, lack of ef
fusive hand shaking and welcome at
the governor's oflice have been the
causes. It is not possible to walk
three blocks down O street in Lin
coln without coming in contact with
a prominent republican who will
cuss the governor and hiss through
his teeth.
Speculate Over Nomination.
There have been speculations about
the possibility of opposition in the
coming primary, but it is generally
conceded that this cannot be. In the
history of the state, 110 governor has
ever been denied a second nomina
tion. To deny it to McMullen would
be to split the party hopelessly and
to leave the track clear for the dem
ocrats. The chance that Fred John
son of Hastings might be able to
swing the nomination and capture
the idle machinery of the La Follette
party has lent a ray of hope.
However, the dopesters see far
ther ahead in the new McMullen
McKelvie feud. Two years from now
a senatorship will be open. Both Mc
Mullen and McKelvie are said to have
uSiuduiBJ v.ni uodn paniS s..e apiji
McKelvie has been keeping quiet
ever since he left the governor's
office in 1923. but he has rot been
idle, his friends say. He. has been at
tending diligently to his publishing
business, and is said to be getting it
into such shape that he can go away
and leave it if the occasion arises.
Anyway, the farmer is furnishing
the meat upon which the Nebraska
division of the Coolidge-Lowden tilt
is feeding itself. So the farmer, with
a republican presidential candidacy
and a Nebraska senatorial candidacy,
in 1928 at stake, may expect to find
himself much diagnosed and psycho-
analized during the next two years.-
