Bank deposits in state banks in Ne braska jumped from $114,500,000 to : $130,S61,7S1 in three months. The lat ter figure is the amount on deposit i February 24. according to a statement 1 issued by Secretary Royse of the state banking board. This is the lar- ; gest amount ever reported and an in crease of $30,0000,000 in one year. The increase is attributed to several causes. The principal cause of the ) increase, says Mr. Royse, is the fact j that grain raised by Nebraska farmers was not marketed last fall on account of wet weather that prevented thresh ing, and on account of a car shortage later in the year. The grain thus held back has since been sold, or most of it has, and the bank deposits are correspondingly swelled. One 1 and a half million dollars of the in crease is due to the conversion of na tional banks into state banks and the bringing with them of deposits to that amount. The number of banks report ing is 815, the largest number ever in existence under the state law. Here after the state banking board will pass upon the necessity of added banking facilities before chartering new state banks. Secretary Royse’s report shows a total of 386,879 depositors: average reserve, 28 per cent; increase of 7 per cent since December 9, 1915. Since February 9, 1915, the resources have increased $32,827,370.92; deposits $30,050,026.3. loans and discounts $20,911,141.85, capital slock, $1,311,000. State Food Commissioner C. E. Har man in declining to accept the demo cratic nomination for governor con ferred upon him by a petition signed by fellowtownsmen of Holdrege is sued a card of thanks to his friends, praised the administration of which he is a part and said he feels that he can render greater service to the ad ministration and his party and state by sticking to the job he now holds. Food Commissioner Harman is sending out printed circulars adver tising the week of April 3 as pure food week, and suggesting “peace and plenty” as a motto to go with it. He thinks it would be a good idea to use the American flag for decorative pur poses in connection with food dis plays and advertising, because the flag stands for peace, while the foods themselves will typify plenty. Nebraska Insurance Data. Insurance in force and effect in Ne braska on December 31, 1915, aggre gated $1,110,000,000 in round numbers, according to the preliminary report of the state insuance commission. Risks written during the year totaled $535,584,000 and risks which ceased during the year amounted to $54,770, 000. Premiums received counted up to $18,766,682. and losses incurred were recorded at $11,267,924. In the report are included 390 com panies of all the kinds that do business in the state, t While other departments of the state government are preparing for state wide observance of ‘.pure food week” and "clean up week,” Hotel Commis sioner Phil Ackerman does not pur pose to be thrown into the shade. He is out with a printed circular an nouncing the date of April 5 as “ho tel day” in Nebraska. He calls on the proprietors of hotels to do some housecleaning at that time, and also to look after outbuildings and yards. Special attention is directed to the matter of individual towels, which he says has been overlooked in some places. ^ A convict cannot be required to leave Lancaster county and go to an other county to testify as a witness, according to Warden Fenton and the attorney general’s department. Ernest Dullingham of Cheyenne county, serv ing time for stealing a horse, was di rected by the district court to Chey enne county to appear there to testify in a suit of the state against a man accused of horse stealing. Sheriff J. W. McDaniel came to Lincoln to con vey the convict to Cheyenne county. The prisoner refused to go and said he would not testify. A MODERN SCHOOL BUILDING. Two Room Structure for the Deer Creek District. State Superintendent Thomas has information concerning a practical demonstration of the interest awak ened in rural school district No. 10 in Madison county. This is known as the Deer Creek school district. The district contains twelve and three fourths sections of land with an as sessed valuation of $144,129. At a special meeting, held recently, the district voted a levy of $5,000 for the purpose of erecting a modern two room school building. The architect employed by the board has drawn plans providing two rooms, each 33x33 feet, with twelve-foot ceilings, the rooms separated by folding partition which may be opened to make one large assembly room for community center meetings. The basement will have fuel room, furnace room, gymna sium, manual training room, sewing room, domestic science room, and girls’ toilet. Water will be piped from a windmill to a supply tank, and a sewer 180 feet in length will provide drain age. The school rooms will have modern equipment, proper lighting, and the grounds will be made attrac tive. A rural high school is already maintained in this district. Clean Up and Stay Clean. Clean up and keep dean is the gist of a statement made by Dr. H. B. Cummins, secretary of the board of secretaries of the state board of health. Dr. Cummins has watched with interest proclamations by the governor for a clean up week, in tended as a fire prevention measure, and orders from the state hotel com missioner for owners of hotels to do some spring cleaning. As a sanitary disease prevention measure. Dr. Cum mins advocates cleanliness throughout the year, not two baths a year, though he is not objecting to that many baths. He asks people to begin May 1 to clean up, clean out and keep clean for one year. He believes the people will, if they pursue this course, be so well pleased that ..annual clean up proclamations will not be neces sary. Ballets Must Show Affiliation. Names of men who are democrats cannot appear upon republican ballots, neither can republican names appear upon democratic ballots and members of neither party can be filed as pro gressives, according to a ruling of Secretary of State Pool. The action followed the protest of Chairman Corrick of the bull moose state committee against the decora tion of the ballots of his party with both republican and democratic names. Most of those whose names had been filed for the honor had been withdrawn at the wish of the candi dates themselves, but .'he names of Charles Sloan and Moses P. Kinkaid had both been left on because no such action had been asked for by those congressmen. The step means that no man can certify to affiliation with one party in this state and then ask to be put on the ballot of another party with which he does not actually affiliate and with which his party does not affiliate. Public School Gardens for Nebraska. Twenty-two towns in Nebraska will conduct public school gardens this summer, similar to those arranged last season in co-operation with the agricultural extension service of the College of Agriculture. Each town will hire a garden supervisor. The towns that have undertaken the work and the names of the supervisors are; Alliance, E. Q. Perry; Holdrege, R. A. Stewart; Kearney, G. R. Parsons; Stromsburg, Charles Seemster; Ne ligh, Mrs. Ida McCIintock; Howells, J. V. Srb: Fairbury, J. E. Benson; Beatrice, H. N. Thomas; Blair, E. H. Kellog; Columbus, S. L. Stoddard: Crete, E. A. Gregory; Auburn, G. E. Heacock; Superior, C. E. Andrews; Ashland, Mrs. h. Camp; Central City, A. Crago; Peru, L. F. Carey. If national guards are called into action on the border or in Mexico, gigantic maneuvers, to be held in Ne braska, may precede their embarka tion for the front. This is the hope of General Hall, who has outlined a plan for the as sembly of North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and Ne braska troops at Fort Robinson, near Crawford, in this state. These plans are now being talked over with Ne braska congressmen and senators at Washington, and it is the hope of the general staff that the war department will grant permission for the move. Sass Assumes Duties. President J. A. Ollis and Secretary W. R. Mellor, of the state board of agriculture, accompanied Jacob Sass, the newly elected treasurer of that body, to Seward on Monday to check him in. The books, papers and rec ords of the late G. F. Dickman, who was treasurer at the time of his death, and the amount of money he had on deposit, were to be audited be fore turning them over to the new of ficial. Mr. Sass lives at Chaleo and is a member of the legislature from Sarpy county. From a seed corn survey made by the college of agriculture, replies from farmers living in fifty-nine counties show that between 25 and 50 per cent of the farmers will be unable to sup ply their own seed, although a major ity of the farmers reply that there will be no shortage in their county. A list of ninety-five farmers who have reported seed corn for sale may be had upon application to the depart ment of Experimental Agronomy, Uni versity Farm, Lincoln. Forty-one thousand bushels of corn adapted to various parts of the state are reported for sale in this list. Bar High School Fraternities. Prof. P. M. Buck, chairman of the interfraternity council of the state university, has announced that all of the active chapters of the fraterni ties of the university had voted not to pledge or initiate to membership any member of a high school fraternity, after September, 1919. The date was placed three years ahead, so that high school boys who are now members of the prep school fraternities may not be barred from membership in the university societies.

Although Norfolk got a majority of the votes cast in a county seat re moval contest, the county seat will remain at Madifeon for another two years at least. Norfolk polled 2,875 votes, Madison 2.5G4, giving Norfolk 53 per cent of the total of the 7,459 votes. Sixty per cent was required by law to make the change. The larg est vote ever cast in Madison county prior to this was less than 4,300. Mad ison's campaign was made upon the issue that removal would increase taxes. Norfolk urged its railroad cen ter and the fact that it is the metrop olis of the county as a reason for changing. Additional advances lu the prices of farm implements have been an nounced by agricultural machinery houses in this territory. Perhaps the most notable increase, because of its proportions, is a raise of front 5 to 15 per cent in the price of farm gaso line tractors. Tractor manufacturers declare :that they are being utterly ignored by steel mills, who are entire ly occupied with filling orders for war munitions. Considering the poor hay crop and soft corn John Peterson of Stanton county did unusually well with a bunch of cattle he has fed for about five months. Last November he bought fifty-two head averaging at that time 887 pounds and costing $7.00. Last week the same bunch of stock averaging 1.210 pounds sold at $9.10, a gain of 323 pounds in weight and $2.10 in price. Secretary Conners of the Grand Is land Commercial club has received news that Grand Island is fo have a new Union Pacific depot at once. The news was contained in a letter from President Mohler of the Union Paci fic declaring that an appropriation for the same had been authorized and that the architect was completing plans and details of them at Omaha. Following a government statement that meat prices are 12.7 per cent higher than the last six-year average, and probably higher than ever before. R. C. Howe, manager of Armour & Co., packers, said recently while In Omaha that he believes the limit has been reached, and that unless prices go down, the peopls will quit buying meat. The announcement that Hastings soon will start eleven miles of new paving, that four or five new business buildings are to start soon and that I contracts already have been left for more than a score of new modem homes, has attracted scores of labor ers an.d mechanics from Nebraska and adjoining states. The annual convention of the Ne braska Fraternal Order of Eagles Is scheduled to take place in Lincoln on June 21, 22 and 23. Word has been received in Omaha from Savannah, Ga., of the great in terest being taken there in the pro posed Savannah to Seattle transconti nental highway, which it is proposed to outline and map off at a big meet ing to be held in Omaha April 24 to 25. Gage county’s fourth gopher exter mination dab has been organized at Filley. Thirty-six farmers residing on the various sections of the town ship were named to have charge of the extermination work. Twenty-two blocks of the residence portion of Kearney, comprising one paving district, will be paved this spring. This makes approximately forty blocks of paving to be contract ' ed for this spring. The city of Albion is contemplating the construction of a $50,000 hotel. A subscription campaign is now on. An Omaha concern offers to loan half the necessary funds. Officials of the Burlington railroad have promised the city of Scottsbluff a new passenger station to be com pleted sometime during the next year. Work is expected to begin within the next thirty days, according to Su perintendent Bignell of the Burlington road, on the construction of a $15,000 passenger depot at Columbus. The dates for Boone county’s big fair have been fixed for September 19 to 22. This fair is second only to the state fair in Nebraska in attend ance and exhibits. > Josepff Hartl, a young farmer living about three miles east of Clarkson, fell under a disc harrow while work ing in the field and was seriously in jured The prize-winning hogs in the Na tional Swine shovr, to be held in Onus* ha October 2 to 7 of this year, will immediately jump to a value of from $3,000 to $5,000 apiece, according to officials of the National Swine Grow ers’ association, who were in Omaha recently conferring with local men re garding arrangements. It is estimat ed by officials that the hogs exhibited will average in value around $125 apiece,- and that the total aggregated value of swine shown will be $300,000. The principal breeds to be exhibited wlli be the Duroc-Jersey, Berkshire, Hampshire, Poland-China, Chester White and a number of the minor breeds. The auction sale of Box Butte coun ty land at Alliance resulted in the pur chase of eleven hundred acres in small tracts in different parts of the county. The price paid averaged $30 per acre, no piece sold being the last the seller had. The object of this sale is rather to divide up where possible, some of the larger ranches into small farms, as it has been proven in the last five seasons that money can be made on a single tract of 100 acres of Box Butte county land. Congressman Kinkaid of O’Neill and Colonel Edwin J. Murfin, Judge advo cate general of the Nebraska national guard, have secured permission of the War department for the use of the military reservation at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, for a military encampment during the coming summer. They are authorized to invite the four adjoining states of Colorado, Wyoming, North and South Dakota. Edley J. Kegley of Kearney won the drawing from a field of ninety-five applicants at the Alliance land draw ing for the “Mitchell tract” homestead near Minatare, considered the most valuable homestead offered at the drawing for Scottsbluff and Cheyenne county irrigated land3. Three hundred and twenty-four applicants filed on the thirty tracts which were opened. The call to the spring plow is more pronounced in and about Kearney than the call to arms. Last week a recruit ing station for the Nebraska National guard, with officer in full uniform in charge, was established there, but not a young man has volunteered to serve his Uncle Samuel. The Florence city council has pass ed an ordinance providing for the sub mission to the voters of Florence, April 18, of a $10,000 bond issue for the construction of a municipal elec tric lighting system. Florence is a duuui u ui uuidim. Columbus now has a militia com pany. At a meeting of Spanish-Amer ican war veterans last week fifty members voted to enlist if war is de clared against Mexico. Most of those present were members of the First Nebraska. Dr. Nathaniel Butler, University of Chicago, and Prof. M. V. O'Shea, Uni versity of Wisconsin, will speak at the Central Nebraska Teachers’ asso ciation meeting at Fremont, April 7 and 8. Twelve relatives of Peter Branden burg, aged Lincoln recluse, who died in a tiny hut where he made his home for years, have been located by the administrator of the estate. All reside in Germany. Each portion wili bo sent them as soon as the estate can be close/i. The twelve heirs are children of a brother and sister of Brandenburg. Each one will receive about $1,000. Within a few hours’ time a commit tee raised $600, a guarantee fund for the Buffalo county fair association, in suring against loss when holding the mid-summer races at Beatrice in July. These races always have been a financial success, the guarantee against extreme weather conditions not having been needed to meet exist ing deficits. The long timbers to be used by the Union Pacific in the reconstruction of its $1,000,000 bridge over the Mis souri river at Omaha have arrived. Word has been received that the east ern mills that are to furnish the steel for the new superstructure have start ed work on the beams and columns, and that shipment will start within the next few weeks. The poultry breeders of Buffalo county have voted to raise $600 to be used as a fund for the erection of a permanent building at the fair grounds at Beatrice, to be used for their annual display. Officers of the State Dental Society announce that the annual meeting of the organization will be held at Lin coln May 15 to 18. Congress has been asked to appro priate $2,000,000 to build a canal to convert Platte river water for irriga tion purposes in Gosper, Phelps and Kearney counties. Congressman Shal lenberger introduced the measure and favorable action is hoped for. Thirty-one business men of Hold rege have subscribed stock for the purpose of buying two lots on which an auditorium will be erected. An ef fort is to be made at once to sell ad ditional stock to raise funds to erect the building. Alliance is busy nowadays making preparations for tbe annual conven tion of the Nebraska Travelers Pro tective association convention which is to be in that city April 20 and 21. The Chamber of Commerce of Has tings has designated the first week in May as trade week for Hastings. An automobile will be given away during the week. Detween 600 and 800 bakers of Ne braska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and South Dakota are expected to attend the Trans-Mississippi Bakers’ conven tion at Omaha, June 12 to 15. The highest price for lambs in the history of the So. Omaha market was recorded when Bond & Scott of Wood River sold two loads of lambs, aver aging 67 pounds, at $11.75 per hun dred. The new Methodist Episcopal church of Beaver City was dedicated just re cently. The church, which cost $15,000, is free from debt, and is a modern structure in every respect. A new packing plant at Fairbury to cost in the neighborhood of $250,000 is being considered by promoters of that place. THE EUROPEAN WAR A YEAR AGO THIS WEEK April 3, 1915.

Government experts estimate that of the 26,000,000 horse power, which it is possible to develop hydroelec trically in the United States, 19,000,000 horse power lies west of the Rockies. Chinese Appreciation of Jade. The remarkable resonance of jade is a peculiar quality, which gives it great importance in Chinese estima tion; to such an extent that "singers’ chimes” of 24 different pieces and tones were sometimes constructed. Oc casional use is also made of the natu ral form of the jade bowlders, which are found in river beds.
