Wonderful Ball Game.
In a way the results of the playing
(?) of the star players of Nehawka's
team on last Saturday was wonderful,
Pitcher Carper pitched (?) a no hit,
no strike game, without errors, and

faultless, in the game of 000000 in
nings, which was called on account
of rain, the score was 0 to 0 with the
Boiler makers of Lincoln. Very
amasing results. The Nehawka team

mouth Athletes.

Did Net Want the Bug
One of the execllent farmers living
northeast of Nehawka discovered
some potato bugs and thinking there
were but a few offered his son and
daughters five cents per dozen for all
they might gather. Now do not think
they did not get the bugs, for they
did, and it cost the father five dol
lars and seventy cents for what the
son gathered, and four dollars and
forty cents for those the daughter
picked.

The Sheep and the Goats.
Two very good friends and neigh
bors in Nehawka, both had chickens
and while each could stand what
their own chickens did in scratching
in their own gardens, thought it bst
to build a fence to separate the gar
dens and to keep the goats and sheep
apart. This they did, but they are
still trying to figure out which one is
the sheep for they either are willing
to concede the goat-ship.
CelebrateChildren Day
On last Sunday a most impressive
program was rendered at the Metho
dist church by the scholars of the

Mrs. W. It. Pate of Peru Has Strong
Article on the Work of the
Campaign in State.
!
i "Home-keeping should be a pro
fession, and the housewife should be
the manager of the corporation and
assign tasks and duties to members of
the household, the same as is done
in business," Mrs. W. R. Pate of Peru
wrote in an article prepared for the
Better Homes campaign of the Ne
braska Federation of Women's clubs. '
Mrs. Pate is the wife of the presi- :
dent of the Peru Teachers College
and is active in Federation work. !
Following is her article, entitled
"Better Homes for all Classes:" j
j By Mrs. W- E. Pate. j
J By "Better Homes" we do not
. mean that they must be large and
: luxuriously furnished houses; neither
do we mean homes of educated people
only, for . an untrained mind may
possess a vastly broader view and
understanding of people and life than'
a many "degreed" person. I
"And how," do you ask, "may this
be accomplished?" The answer is
first, "By precept," and fortunate is
the person who has been reared in a'
home where these principles prevail-'
ed. Often times an admired friend,'
. neighbor or acquaintance is respon-(
sible for the acquirement of these de- :
' sirable traits of character, for who
is net influenced by a family circle
where comradeship and harmony be
tween its members exist? Happiness
radiates from every face.

better homes the value of home own
ership cannot be overestimated. This
is another opportunity for character
. development and cooperation for in:

sacrifice by all members of the fam
ily to possess a home.
There is a great degree of satisfac

Where Customers Feel at Home
From Wednesdays Dally .'- '
This morning in the county court
the matter of the application of Dan
Lynn, of Union, administrator of the
estate of William Klaurens, deceased,
for discharge and the approval of his
accounts was brought up for hearing.
The estate has been in the hands
of the administrator for the past
eight years and he desires to have
the court give him release from his
office. The final acceptance of the
report of Mr. Lynn is contested by
several of the heirs of the estate who
object to the use of a part of the
principal of the estate used in the
care of the widow and also to other
amounts that were v expended in the
administration of the estate.
s A number cf the members of the
family were present at the hearing
held in the county court.
The opponents of the report are
represented by Attorney A. L. Tidd,
while the administrator is represent
ed by Attorney C. A. Rawl3 and Judge
Allen J. Beeson.

"How acute a crisis American ag
riculture has passed through in re
cent years," the report said, "is re
flected in the fact that in 1920-21
taxes collected from farms amounted
to nearly six times the total net profit
from all farms. In 1921-22 there was!
considerable improvement in the agri-J
cultural situation generally, but taxes i
still absorbed 77.7 per cent of the net
nrofits. Since then the burden has
grown lighter from year to year, un
til in 1925-26 only 30 4 per cent of
the total agricultural net profits had
to be paid out in taxes.
The survey showed taxes levied on
agriculture amounted to $890,000,
000 in 1925-26 against $315,000,000
In 1913. In the lat crop year net
profits were given as $2,930,000,000
about the same as in 1923.
Tax relief played only a small part
In easing the tax burden, the board (
said. The survey showed that it had
come about primarily as a result of
better prices and the resulting bigger
net profits for agricultural products.
The study pointed out that the real
tax problem in regard to agriculture
lies in the fact that the farmer's in
come fluctuates greatly from year to
yar, while the tax bill remains on the
same level, whether the income for
the years is large or small.
"Thus tax uavments which were
hardly felt in 1919 constituted a
crushing burden in 4922," the report
said.
The farmers have derived little di
rect benefit from federal tax reduc
tion, according to the survey which
pointed out that practically all their
tar bills are property taxes collected
by state and local governments, which
