This feature is found in article 6.

While the spring season is slightly
backward, farm work is well advanc
ed considering weather conditions.
Corn plowing and planting have been
retarded because the soil has been
too wet and the weather too cool.
The sub-soil carried a considerable
reserve moisture which will prove
beneficial to all growing crops.
The general average for the entire
territory follows:

The section specifies that damages
in the foregoing amounts may be
claimed by the state and awarded by
the court for animals, birds or fish
"so unlawfully killed, destroyed ta
ken, or had in possession."
However, if the possesor should
return any animal, fowl or fish un

captured or another place designat
ed by the game and park board, the
staff's claim for damages shall there

Strong Protective Measure.
The deputy wardens were told to
ask for such damage in connection
with prosecutions brought by them
icrainst violators ofthe game laws.
Members of the board believe that
when hunters and fishermen real-
'ze they will be called upon to pay
for the game or fish taken out of
reason or in an illegal manner, in
addition to being fined, the effect
will be to increase respect for the
lew and more effectively preserve
the wild life of the state from ruth
less destruction.
A parallel and precedent for this
plan are tound in the present pro- j

Every magistrate before whom a
prosecution is brought under the

quired to enter judgment for dam
ages in rase of conviction, and to
collect the money and remit it to the

This will afford another source of
revenue for state game and pari-:
administration, which is otherwise
dependent entirely on fees received
for hunting, fishing, trapping and
other permits, from cash earnings of
the state parks, and miscellaneous
income.
All fines go into the school fund
of the localities where they are paid,
and the state obtains no revenue
from that source.

Edison Scholarship if successful.
! No candidate recommended need
fear the written tests, as they will
bear upon natural aptitude and abil
ity rather than upon technical scho
lastic training. These tests will b
based on scientific procedures in an
attempt to discover that boy having
the highest qualifications. Theso
tests will be one element only in de
termining the final selection. Tbe
Committee reserves the right to make
any other investigation of the var
ious candidates as may s-m proper
to tbe Committee before mriving at
the final result.

record, health cert ifi' ate, biograph
ical s-ketch. and the parent's state

More than one boy can be recom
mended by the superintendent
represent his school. Superintendents
should be very careful in recommend
ing none but very superior students.
It is understood that the boys rer
ommended will be members of t1"
graduating class in June. 1029. Th
boy selected must be one capable ?
entering a technical school. Ni
brilliant bov should hesitate to pre
sent himself in Lincoln for the finsl
selection test.
! Kindly send us the name of th"
boy, with the documents reiuestel,
I not later than June 3rd. The for
tunate candidate will go to We:1
Orange. New Jersey, at. the expens"
of Mr. Edison and be given an exam
ination by Mr. Edison to determine
the ultimate winner of the scholar
ship. None of the boys will go home
empty handed, as it is the intention
of Mr. Edison to present each boy
with a combination Radio-Phonograph.
This, prize is well worth
striving for.
I A community commercial club, or
any other kind of classification club
could well afford to raise money for
the expenses of a brilliant boy to
Lincoln for the final examination.
t While the Committee is not at all
sure that the above process, or any
other process that can be invented by
j human ingenuity, will discover bud
ding genius or embryonic greatnesr.
yet it feels happy to render this ser
vice to the State of Nebraska and
this cause in particular. Governor
Weaver and the Committee are inter
ested in only one thing namely, tht
selection of the boy who will best
represent the State of Nebraska.
