Proposed construction of a drain age ditch to lower the water level of Moon lake. Brown county, and greatly reduce its area is the sub ject of a hearing which will be held Tuesday by State Engineer Cochran at his office in the capitol. John Clapper, holder of a lease on three quarter-sections of state school land, one of which is partly covered by the lake, has filed application for author ity to build the ditch. Fred W. Skinner, who leases the northwest quarter of school land in the same section, has remonstrated against allowing the lake to be tap ped. He will be present at the hear ing and voice his objections. State Game Warden F. B. O'Con nell will also register a protest, on behalf of sportsmen and recreation seekers, against the project. Moon lake is a favorite summer nesting place for wild ducks and in the fall season there is excellent shooting on the lake and its surrounding marshy terrain. The lake is one of the largest in northern Nebraska, but has a maxi mum depth of only 4 feet at the present time. It affords some fishing but is patronized mainly by hunters Clapper's idea is to use the drain ed area for pasturage and hay land. Some of the other ranchers think the lake 13 worth as much to them as any additional forage they coull get off the area now covered by water. Several years ago Clapper started to dig a ditch through his leased land without consulting the state au thorities. He was stopped at that time by a court injunction.

Briggs r..TT.,TJ1TnT.inTri?TiT',TToTT..T X i i Golden Text: I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. Psalms 122:1. v The Wonder of the Affe King David was moved to build a house for the worship of Jehovah, and not being allowed to do so, had prepared much material for its con struction under his son. King Solo mon, who, after he had been king for some five years, began the work of its construction. During the ages people have constructed edifices for the worship of the One Great God, and have set them aside for that pur pose, they have maintained the build ings for the purpose of having a place in which to gather and which is as- sociated with a sacredness not obtain- ed elsewhere. We think that a place set aside for the worship of God is sacred, and should be revered as we j the building wnicn is the oniciai meeting place of God, the Father, and Man, his son. When a place shall have been set aside it looks like sacrilege for it to be diverted to some other purpose. We know people who have purchased church buildings to use them for business or - . i 111 " - us at it was out of place and when once, ?Jlcth ?.e r8C Purpose Of the Worship Of God. it should remain such. Now on the other- hand, we believe that one could worship God in te fields, in the highways, and even when about their daily tasks, and this they should do, and not-do anything or occupy any position where it would not be proper to worship the Great Jehovah. The Temple which Israel built under the reign of Solomon, was one of the wonders of the age in which it was built and would be at this time. That the people of Israel were devoutly religious cannot be denied. According as were their faith in the Great Jehovah, was their pros perity, their happiness, their secur ity and as long as they were devotedly- following the commands of God, they prospered, but when they for got and wandered away after other God then did tourbles arise, through the sins of the people anihilated the nation, and was only maintained spirualljv coming down through the ages, and providing a line thru which the Christ was to come to the earth. The Temple Reared David had a mind to build a house for Jehovah, but was not permitted, but was allowed to provide many of the materials for its construction and of the magnitude of the temple per haps he had an adequate conseption and for each of us to know of the magnitude, the beauty, the symmetry we must go to the Word of God for it. In dimensions the temple was as follows, the Most Holy place was a room thirty feet square, in this room the Ark of the Covenant was kept. The Holy place was a room thirty by sixty feet, in this was the Golden Candle stick, the table of shewbread and the golden altar of insense. The time required to build the temple was six and a half years, then following came the dedication. Not withstand ing the fact that David had collected so much of the material necessary for the construction of the edifice, still, during the work under King Solo mon, there were of the Israelites, seventy thousand laborers, with thir ty thousand who were hewers of wood, and workers in the quarries, with three thousand officers and an other three thousand who were fore men over the workers making of the Israelites themselves some one hun dred and six thousand, besides what Hiram, King of Tyre furnished. The area of the temple was thirty-five acres. The magnificense of the temple you will find by reading from the fiith to and including the seventh chapters of First Kings, and how it was finished and with its completion King Solomon, called the people to gether in order to dedicate the place to the worship of Almighty God, and there came to him the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel that they might bring the Ark of the Cov enant, which was residing in a tent lower down upon the hill of Mt. Zion, which was David's mount, andw hich was required to be born by the priests or Levites. The Ark of the Covenant The Ark of the Covenant which contained the two table of stone on which the ten commandments were written by the hand of God were made something like five hundred years before this time, at which time the laws were handed down on Mt. Sinai, given to Moses by the Great Jehovah, 1491 B. C, and thus we have the dedication of the temple on 1004 a difference of 487 years. There were many sacred memories cluster ing around this Ark of the Covenant which God had always stood to per form, and which had bo often been broken by the Children of Israel. Now under King Solomon were the people come together to place this Ark in the temple which they had erected to God. .The Ark was placed in the Most Holy place and known as . the Holy of Holies, where it was sacredly kept. ' At the time of fhe. removal pf the Ark of the Covenant to te g.ew tern? pie in appreciation of the efforts of the people to serve the Father, wag there manifested, at the time of the placing of the Ark in the place, smoke arising to that extent that the priests who were in the service at the tem ple that they could not stand for the Glory of God was so great, they were not able to remain in the house. Solomon Offers Prayer and Thanks In appreciation of the manifold blessings which the Father had be- ! stowed on the Children of Israel, a xl i 1. 1 , , itnu me source irom wmcu au uieaa ings must come, and at the same time 3. acknowledging the sins of the people T i which he over and over again asks v ! to be forgive,n. There were at this dedication sacrifices offered of 22,- i 000 oxen and 120,000 sheep, showing on What a eierantic scale, the neoDle wanted to express their thankfulness or care wthi God had exercised r heir $T n! T 1 bff ?' j3 hic he had provided to be peculiar to His worship. With aU the magnificence with wnicn the temple at Jerusalem waa constructed with the fine finishings which it was decorated and with what solemn ceremonies it was dedi cated, it is only a type of the human who is to recognize the devine, for our bodies are but temples for the dwelling of the Holy Spirit, and as we purify our bodies and make them fit for ,the dwelling of the spirit of God are we approaching that destiny for which we are created. RAILRQOS WILL PROTEST TAXES Suits Over Assessment Are Reported as Likely Despite the State Board's Cut. In all probability two or three of the principal railroad companies op erating in Nebraska will continue their resistance to payment of taxes on the basis of calues fixed upon their properties by the state board of assessment, by filing suits in fed eral court before December 1, the date of delinquency, to enjoin col lection of the full taxes, as they have done in prior years. In doing so, they will ignore the Prince law enacted by the last legis lature, which provided for appeals to be taken by dissatisfied carriers from the board's action to the state sup reme court. The suits will be ground ed on the same general pleadings as in former actions, to the effect that the property of the roads is being taken without due process of law and that they are denied the equal protection of the laws through high er relative assessments on their hold ings than other kinds of property bear. Burlington Not Satisfied. The Burlington, for one, is not sat isfied with the reduction of $19,500, 000 which the state board granted it, and is expected to ask the United States court for a further reduction below $118,009,252, the value plac ed upon its Nebraska properties by the state board. Another carrier which does not feel disposed to accept its new assessment of $32,106,938 a slash of $6,660, 000 from that of last year is the Northwestern. The Rock Island likewise thinks it should get more of a reduction than the $1,068,000 the board allowed it. The 1927 assessment of that company is $8,505,320. E. P. Holmes, counsel for the Rock Island in Nebraska, said Friday noon that conferences are in progress be tween the legal departments of these three carriers on the question of re newing the litigation which they have heretofore been engaged in. No definite decision has yet been reach ed, he said. From Burlington sources it ir heard that very little doubt exists about the trio of roads going ahead and bringing new actions to have their 1927 valuations and taxes scal ed down. The Missouri Pacific, however, will cease its resistance, according to the announcement of its attorney, J. A. C. Kennedy, at the time the state board fixed the assessments six weeks ago. The board lowered the Missouri Pacific a little more than $1,400,000, the new valuation being placed at $10,202,475. It is assumed that the M. & O.. which is a Northwestern subsidiary will rest content with the reduction of $4,800,000 which the state board gave it. This was a 43 per cent cut, from $11,232,387 last year to $6, 832,555. The Union Pacific and the Grand Island railroads, the latter controlled by the former, paid their taxes in full for previous years. Although the Union Pacific waa boosted about a million and a quarter this year, to the figure of $99,599,312, it is not ex pected to join the other roads in their litigation. The Grand Island was let down three-quarters of a million to $3,315,917.

Peterson of Omaha, Chair man of Art of Nebraska Feder ations Writes of Subject. There are many people who have not, as yet, realized the value of are in relation to the home and the well being of the family. To associate the word art with fine paintings and sculpture only is a common error. It may be related to everything that contributes to the physical or mental welfare of the family. A small income is no excuse for overlooking the art element. The simples of home made rugs on a painted or even a scrupulously clean, unpainted floor, a common table, a wooden rocker, dainty fresh curtains at the window and a bright bouquet of wild flowers may produce a more artistic effect than an effort to create an illusion of grandeur with cheap, ornate rugs and flashy overstuffed furniture. The art of the home means both Interior and exterior decoration. Un like Topsey, it will not "just grow" but is the result ow conscious, earn est, painstaking effort. Fortunately we live in an age when books and pamphlets offering good advice on these subjects may be had for little or no expense so that prospective homemakers need not depend upon their own untrained judgment. This is especially fortunate for the resi dents of rural communities and for farmers. On many of our Nebraska farms today there are homes as attractively designed and as charmingly land scaped as our city homes but there are still too many examples of the well-to-do farmer, who gives more thought and consideration to the housing of his stock than to the housing of his family. Who has not seen farms where fine barns and out-buildings are given choice locations while the farm house is placed upon some bit of ground that is unsuitable or incon venient for other purposes? This does not imply that this man loves his family less than the man who lives in the pretty house among the trees on the next farm, but it is a safe bet that the young folks congre gate at the attractive home and that the boys and girls from the unattrac tive one leave home as soon as they are able to shift for themselves. If only for this reason, is not the art of the home whoth while? The exterior may be almost a replica of every sother house in the neighbor hood but with" careful consideration the interior may be as different as the hollyhock and the rose. Perhaps the first and most import ant consideration in the creation of an artistic interior is that of the backgrounds the walls and the floors. If economy must be practiced, let it be in the movable furnishings and pot in these more permanent ones. The canvased and painted wail is by far the most satisfactory and ir the end the cheapest. It will not show cracks, will not fade and may be easily cjeaned. By either glazing or strippling, beautiful effects may be obtained. If papers are used, let them be in plain effects as these are the most suitable for picture-hang ing and contribute to the general ef fect of rest and quiet. Medium light colors in neutral tones of gray and tan are quite satisfactory. Floral stripes in bedrooms serve to estab lish color schemes and are both dainty and pleasing. Rooms which open together such as living-room, dining-rpom, etc., Jf done alike will give a more spacioup effect and a feeling of unity. ThiF effect may be furthered by using the same" curtains and draperies and the same rug ' design, Pari; paper f are lAfm. A. Blodgeit LaPlatte, Nebraska cramping in effect and are gloomy and depressing. The floors, being low, should be darker than the side walls, and vice versa; the ceilings being high, should be lighter. With the walls and floors thus carefully planned, one may be allow ed a wide latitude in the selection of the furniture. It is a mistake to try to furnish a house all at once. Plan carefully and select piece by piece. If possible, try each piece in the home before buying. Often a piece most charming in the store may be a misfit in the environment of your home. The attractive, liv able horns suggests rest, peace and variety. It also suggests suitability. Fit the home to your family rather than the family to the home. Let simplicity, sincerity and suitability be the foundation upon which your I decorative scheme is based, and you cannot go far astray, for these are the guiding principles of all great art. ELIMINATE CAUSE OF TRAFFIC DEATHS Compulsory automobile liability measures have been introduced in practically very legislature that has met this year, but in only one state, Massachusetts, has such a measure become a law. A measure almost identical with the Massachusetts law has now been introduced in the Geor gia legislature. One of the strongest arguments ad vanced by proponents of compulsory auntomobile liability insurance is that such a law would make it cer tain that all persons injured would receive damages. The argument will not hold, for persons hurt through their own fault and these cases are many cannot collect damages. In Massachusetts a company has been upheld for refusing to insure a risk because the driver got drunk. In some states, to meet this kind of cases, politicians have gone to the extent of seeking a law compelling companies to insure every risk. Why should an insurance company or the state be forced to insure a known bad risk? The state could 1 simply refuse to give him an auto i license, thus really contributing something constructive in the fight on traffic accidents. This type of driver spreads death and suffering from which there can be no adequate remedy or reparation any more than from the horrors of war. We should strive to eliminate the cause for the great traffic death rate, not to sanction measures to make it easier for them to take place. QUALIFIED AS MARKSMAN Two more members of the Platts mouth Rifle Club qualified as marks men in the regular shoot held by the club last Sunday. This brings the total number of members who have qualified on Course D to nine. All scores were good Sunday, but the at tendance was small due to so many members being absent from the city over Labor Day. The four high men were Elmer Taylor, 222; Ray Larson, 201. War ren Taylor, 200, and Tom Walling 191. Taylor lacked but 2 points of qualifying as an expert rifleman and as he is steadily improving will no doubt attain that rank soon. The club hag received notice that a second shipment of ammunition will be shipped within a short time and makes possible further hooting this fall. VERY GENEROUS RAIN This locality was visited early tbie morning by a very generous rainfall that started shortly before 5 o'clock and continued until almost 7 o'clock. The rainfall registered .93 of an inch in this city and is reported-to have been extending over a considerable area over the county, particularly tc tjje west.
