Smith and Secretary of State Charles W. Pool, members of the state veterinary board, appeared before forty young men who were taking an examination for license to practice veterinary surgery and medicine. Gov ernor Morehead made a short talk to the applicants on the importance 'of the profession which they seek to enter. The state officers reappointed State Veterinarian J. S. Anderson of > Seward a member of the examining hoard. The other examiners are Dr. J. C. Bowman of Tecumseh and Dr. G. R. Young of Omaha. '\Tbe advaiwe in the price of steel an^^tferete has been so great in the past months that the university regent^ have discovered that they could nol let the contract for the agri cultural VKineering building within the appropriation of $140,000. The board has referred the building plans to the property committee for revision of the proposed cost of the structure. Binder Twine Prices Advancing. Nebraska farmers will find the process of harvesting their winter ; wheat crop a decidedly more expen-! sive one this spring that it was a year ego. In addition to the increased cost of harvesting machinery, binder twine prices have advanced materially and will add a neat sum to the general harvesting expense. Prices on twine have been announced by the large manufacturers at 9% cents per pound, base price on 10,000 pound lots f. o. b. Chicago or St. Louis, with an addi tional 14 cent per pound for delivery at Omaha or other Missouri river points. Forty-two delegates and school gar den enthusiasts from all over Nebraska met in Lincoln last week for the first garden workers’ conference ever held | In co-operation with a college of agri- \ culture. The extension service gave j a two days’ course taking up both technical work in gardening and the ( administration of school garden clubs, j - f Uphold Fort Crook Law. The supreme court has sustained the / law of 1907. prohibiting the licensing \ ■ of a saloon within two and one-half t miles of a military post. The opinion j of the court was written by Judge Rose and concurred in by the entire court. A test case was instituted, entitled Gear Rushhart vs. Homer Crippen et al. The case was tried in Sarpv county where Fort Crook is stiuated. The dis trict court sustained the provisions of the law and the supreme court has af firmed that judgment. Seals of the secretary of state and auditor will be attached to $50,000 worth of North Platte school bonds at the dictation of the board there, although the law now exempts the former official from the duty. The cost, because the attachment of the seals, is a source of revenue, will be $50. The amount has been paid by I the North Platte board and the step j will be taken. If Secretary Pool per- | formed the service without charging | for it he would be subject to the pay- j ntf-nt of the money himself, in the opinion of legal authorities at the cap ttol. Plans for holding the fourth annual conference of the middle western col legiate association for women's self Eovemment, which will be held at the University of Nebraska May 4, 5 and f are being pushed rapidly ahead by the local girls’ club. Delegates are ex pected to the convention from the uni- i ttersities of Wisconsin, Iowa, Washing- ; ton, Missouri. Illinois, Grinnell. Ohio, j /— Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas. North- j Western and Cornell. In addition to •^legates from these schools a number of visiting delegates from colleges out- j fine of the conference are expected to I attend. A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY The Nebraska Hog a Gold Mine for the Farmers > adopted to meet general conditions in agricultural areas of the state than any other branch of live stock farm ing. During the year 1915 Nebraska stock raisers marketed 750,000,000 pounds of pork. At an average price of 6L, cents a pound this represents a valuation of $■58.150,000. In the same vear the state produced 228.000.000 bushels of corn, valued at $114,000,000 and 4.000,000 tons of alfalfa. Feeding evidence indi cates that where hogs are being fed for the market four and a half pounds of corn and a half pound alfalfa will produce one pound of pork. Had all of the corn produced in Nebraska dur ing 1915 been fed to pigs on the basis figured above 2,S15,000,000 pounds of pork would have been produced worth $185,975,000. Deducting $7,000,000 as the value of the alfalfa used, pricing it at $10 per ton, this leaves an increase of $61,000,000 over the elevator price of corn. This would mean an average increased»• profit of $450 for every farmer in the state. Preparing for Irrigation Case. Attorney General Reed has received word that surveys are now being made in the North Platte and South Platte river valleys, under the direction of State Engineer Johnson, in order to obtain necessary evidence for protect ing the rights of Nebraska water us ers in this state's intervention pro ceeding in the suit beiween the states of Colorado and Wyoming over the right to use the headwaters of both streams, irrespective of priorities in Nebraska. Mr. Reed is expecting to appear as counsel for the Nebraska water users in this suit, and will en deavor to obtain a judgment upholding their right as against conflicting claim ants in Wyoming and Colorado. To Keep Tab on Autos. County assessors have been asked by Secretary Bernecker of the state board of assessment to keep a look out for automobiles. They are asked to obtain from the county treasurer a list of licensed automobiles and if the number of machines found by per cinct assessors April 1 does not cor^> spond with the number licensed at that date the assessors will have to hunt for any that are missing from the tax rolls. Last year assessors listed 44.261 automobiles for assess ment. It was believed that there were over 50.000 automobiles in the state. The secretary of state who also handles licenses has licensed 67.000 automobiles this year and the total may reach 80.000 before the end of the year. Butler county has reported 1.186 autos in the license list April 1. Last y°ar 771 were found by the as sessors of 'that county. Cuming county last year assessed 716 auto mobiles. This year, on April 1, 1.615 were on the license register in that county. The average assessed value of automobiles in Nebraska last year was $73 each, or $365 each, actual value. Will Call for New Bids. At the last regular meeting of the board of regents of the state univer sity. it was decided to reject ail bids for the proposed agricultural engi neering building and to call for new ones. This action was taken because of amended specifications, wherein reinforced concrete is called for in stead of structural steel as originally planned. Prof. Grummann made a report regarding the introduction of music into the ourrric-ulum of the uni versity. but action was deferred un til the next meeting. Demands for teachers for the vari ous high schools of the state and from points in other states have flooded the department of high school inspec tion at the state university. Dean Fordyce of the teachers’ college has announced that 200 teachers will be graduated this year, and the demand far exceeds the supply. Latin and German teachers are scarce. A dispute between C. E. Snyder, owner of a small telephone exchange at Bignell. and G. L. Swancutt, who runs a competing exchange at Brady, has been settled by the state rail way commission in Snyder's favor. The latter has been authorized to charge at a rate of $1 per month and include in that charge free service to North Platte. Women the Better Students. Sorority women were better stu dents at the University of Nebraska than the men of the fraternities during the first semester of the present school year, according to the scholarship figures made public by Dean Carl Eng berg. Acacia, the Masonic fraternity, leads all the mens fraternities, while Delta Delta Delta tops the list of the sororities. The fraternity average for scholarship, with deductions for delin quencies, is 147.7 points, while the solority average is 249.9 points. Want Music for Nebraska Poem The committee having in charge the state-wide celebration of the semi-cen tennial celebration of the admission of Nebraska into the union of states has announced that John D. Haskell of Wakefield has offered a prize of $100 for the best music composition suited to the Nebraska poem recently select ed. The music should be for mixed voices. All such compositions sub mitted in this contest are to be sent to State Superintendent A. O. Thomas, Lincoln not later than July 1. Copy of poem will be sent on application. Under a new rule adopted for the purpose of limiting the number of banks to the needs of communities the state banking board has refused to issue a charter to the Creston State bank, recently organized. In the aD sence of a law authorizing—the legis lature. in fact, having refused to pass a law—the board seeks to limit the number of banks by adopting rules for the regulation of banks. Several vears ago it was decided that the state board could not refuse to charter a state bank organized by reliable per snn a [NEBRASKAj ♦STATE NEWS* : — : DATES FOR COMING EVENTS.

July 21. Edward. 10-year-old son of Joseph McMichail, living east erf Wellfleet. a small town near North Platte, was in 'antly killed when lightning struck 'lie bell at the school house and ran I down a wire rope, burning his face and i right side to a crisp Other children ! standing nearby were rendered uncon* , seious by the shock, but none were ■ permanently injured. A special train loaded with 300 men and women frcci Lincoln and Otnaha I left Omaha just recently for the sugar i beet fields of Minnesota. They will be distributed in the territory around 1 Mankato. Eagle Lake and Cliaska. The • party was made up largely of Rus sians and most of tl*om worked in the Minnesota sugar heet fields last sta | son. Fremont poultrymen say that tile I Drescnt scarcity of poultry and the high price prevailing for poultry meat is due solely to the fact that eggs are bringing IS and 2(5 cents a dozen, an unusually high price for this time of year. Farmers are hanging onto their hens to get the eggs, they say. The Platte county attorney wants the county to own some bloodhounds to smell out and run down criminals. He will urge the purchase of dogs at the next meeting of the county board. A state bowling league, with a reg ular schedule of matches and a loving cup as a prize instead of a pennant, is a movement that Omaha bowling lead ers are now discussing. When First street paving in Fre mont is laid it will make a total of twenty-nine blocks, or nearly two miles of paving through Fremont on the Lincoln highway. During a five days’ campaign a financial committee of the Bair li brary collected $1,200. the amour;* necessary to purchase the site for the new Carnegie library. With a new six-story hotel and a $100,000 court house, besides many other buildings. Fremont expects to put in one of the busiest building sea sons in its history. Ground has been broken for Broken Bow's new Burlington d*>pot. The structure will be thirty by eighty feet in size and ci?st $25,000. The city council has passed an ordinance va cating certain streets, in order that the depot shall have an adequate loca tion. An evangelistic campaign, under the direction of Rev. James Rayburn, is being conducted in Broken Bow. A tabernacle with a seating capacity of 1,200 has been erected for the meet ings. The pulp drying process is one of the important features which will mark the improved facilities of the new Gering sugar factory, which is now under construction.

The Ccmstock Telephone company has been authorized to discontinue a $1 flat rate fcr service to Arcadia. The village of Ewing will construct a new school building in the near fu ture to cost $35,000. The finance committee of the Fre mont Commercial club has decided to raise $16,000 for publicity work in Fremont tills year. East year the club raised a similar amount and the system proved so successful that it will be employed again. The Alliance lodge of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Is contemplating the construction of a new home in that city. Hastings Commercial club has promised to aid company G, Nebras ka National Guard company of that place. 1 Frank M. Coffey, ^cate labor com missioner, in Omaha recently, an nounced A. Caminetti, United States commissioner of immigration, will send a federal representative to Ne braska to conduct a freee labor bu reau. and to be in charge of an immi gration station here. "The office will be in Omaha.” said Coffey. "The la bor office will direct the migratory and seasonal laborers. The former come and go without regard to conditions. Seasonal laborers, such as harvesters, fruit pickers and others, want to fol low the seasons. Tiie immigration branch of the work probably will bring more immigrants to Nebraska.” Coffey said. "Some may be routed directly to Omaha.” The Fairbury city council has re fused to grant pool hall licenses to several applicants in the city. The o.uestion was not voted on at the spring election, it being understood there would be no opposition to the granting of the licenses. The senti ment against the pool halls sprang up when proprietors started a movement to reduce license fees. Definite plans have been made by the historical and patriotic societies of the state to mark the old historic California trail. The second monu ment to be erected within the next few months will be at Florence at the starting point of the trail in Ne braska. the first being already erect ed at Fremont by Lewis & Clarke Chapter, D. A. R. Election boards in every precinct in Hastings stood pat at tbe recent election on the ruling of the attorney general and refused ballots to all vot ers who failed to state their party affiliations when registering at the city clerk's office last month. There were about 159 voters in Hastings dis franchised as the result. a do ut seventy-nve delegates are ex pected to attend the 191t> convention of the English association of the Au gustana Synod, which will be held in Omaha next October. Exact dates for the annual gathering have not yet been set, although it will probably be held about the middle of the month. Both the road grading and road paving bonds of Douglas county, to taling $1,700,000, carried at the recent primary. These were divided into twc propositions: The one for $200,001 bonds for grading the roads in Doug las county, and the other for bonds in the sum of $1,500,000 for paving certain Douglas county roads. Woodrow Wilson was defeated in the recent primary election in one precinct in Seward county by Robert G. Ross, proprietor of a livery stable. The precinct is German-American. and the vote was 29 to 28. Ross filed him self as a candidate for both the demo cratic and republican presidential nominations at the primaries. The question of building a jail at Martinsburg, an inland town near Al len, has been the bone of contention there for some time and in order tc dispose of the question the village board placed the issue on the ballot at election. The majority favored a jail and it will be built at once. Pa Rourke, manager of the Omaha Western league baseball team, has signed a new second baseman named Priest, from Rochester. N. Y.. and he has joined the team. He will pliy second until the recovery of Irelan. v. ho had a log broken at Beatrice dur ing the practice season there. Revival of the old-style country spelling bees will be undertaken in schools of several counties of the state this year and it is hoped by those interested that p xt year enough cf the countie" veil have taken up the work to asset ■ a state-wide spelling contest. John Zook, for years city marshal and drayman at T cumseh. has sud denly become rich by inventing a church ntc-del and selling the patent to a Kansas City firm for $25,000. He continues at his position, although th windfall means much to him. The pupils of the Beatrice schools are looking forward with eagerness to the annual May festival, which proba bly will be held on May 12th. It will be held in Atheletic park, a spot of marvelous beauty on the Blue, and the pride of Beatrice. The eleventh annual convention cf the Thirtieth district of Rebekahs will be held at Ponca May 11. The district is composed of six lodges, Wynot, Newcastle, Ponca, South Sioux City, Allen and Emerson. Lincoln’s chances for an incinerator within the next year went into the discard when the city commissioners rejected ail bids. Committees have raised $3,100 to ward the purchase of a site for an auditorium at Holdrege; another com mittee has raised $8,000 toward the construction of the building. Another $5,000 is required. Tecumseh has a military band and a local picture house turned its facil ities over to the organization one re cent night to help it financially. The farmers in the neighborhood of Osceola will open a union store where they will receive and dispose of goods in quantity lots. Bids for water, sewer and paring jobs were given out by the city coun cil of Sidney recently. W. J. Creedon was given the contract for $20,000 worth of concrete paving and the Nor folk Bridge and Construction Co. wen !-•? bid for $20,000 worth of sewer and water extensions.

An average of one ton of solid and liquid nourishment is consumed every year by a healthy man. Australia’s last census revealed the presence of 52,951 naturalized British subjects. An expedition of Norwegian scien tists is studying the natives, flora and fauna of almost unknown regions of northern and central Asia. One of the queerest requests on rec ord has been received at San Antonio, Tex., from Dr. Guy A. K. Marshall of the royal bureau of entomology. Lou don. It is for a certain flea, which lives in the eye of a bat, and San An tonio, the only town in the world with a municipal bat roost, is about the proper place to go for it. Using radioactive phenomena for tho basis of their calculations, two British scientists believe that the world is at least 711,000,000 years old. Do Things Worth While. Spend not your time in that which profits not; for your labor and your health, your time and your studies, are very valuable; and it is a thousand pities to see a diligent and hopeful person speed himself in gathering cockle-shells and little pebbles, in tell ing sands upon the shores, and mak ing garlands of useless daisies.—Jer emy Taylor. MIXING THE BUTTER CAKES Breakfast and Luncheon Delicacy Worth All the Ti.ne That Can Be Bestowed on It. An earthen howl should always be used for mixing cake, and a wooden cake spoon with slits lightens the la bor. Measure dry ingredients, and mix and sift baking powder and spices, if used, with flour. Count out j number of eggs required, breaking i each separately that there may be nc ! ioss should a stale egg chance to be j found in the number, separating yolks ( from whites if rule so specifies. Meas- ; ura butter, then liquid. Having every- ; thing in readiness, the mixing may be quickly accomplished. If butter is very hard, by allowing it to stand a short time in a warm room it is measured and creamed much easier. If time cannot be al lowed for this to be done, warm bowl by pouring in some hot water, letting stand one minute, then emptying and wiping dry. Avoid overheating the bowl, as butter will become oily rather than creamy. Put butter in bowl and cream by working with a wooden spoon until soft and of a creamy con sistency, then add sugar gradually and continue beating. All yolks of eggs or whole eggs beaten until light, liquid and flour mixed and sifted with baking powder; or liquid and flour may be added alternately. When yolks and whites are beaten separate ly whites are usually added at the last, as in the case when whites of eggs alone are used. A cake can. be made fine grained only by long beating, although light and delicate with a small amount of beating. Never stir cake after the final beat ing, remembering that beating motion should always be the last used. Fruit, when added to cake, is usual ly floured, to prevent its settling to the bottom. This is not necessary' if it is added directly after the sugar, which is desirable In all Lark cakes. If a light fruit cake is made, fruit added in this way discolors the loaf. Citron Is cut first in thin slices, then in strips, floured, and put in between layers ol cake mixture. Raisins are seeded and cut. rather than chopped. Washed currants, put up in packages, are quite free from stems and foreign sub stances. and need only picking over and rolling in flour. Stewed Beef With Dried Green Peas. Wash (after picking over) one pint of dried green peas. Put in kettle with enough water and let come to a boil (water should coven, and while boiling add about one-half teaspoon ful of baking soda (saleratus). Con tinue boiling for about five or ten min utes. then remove from fire and strain and wash the peas to free from taste of soda. Prepare about one-half pound of lean beef (stew beef) by rinsing and cutting lip In not too small pieces. Put the meat and prepared peas again in kettle and stew until meat is ten der. Keep covered with water while meat is cooking. Season with salt, pepper and a small lump of butter (the butter may be omitted, but I prefer to j add it). Mock Fish. Cut some scraped salsify into inch lengths, dropping them as done into water acidulated either with vinegar or lemon juice, and. soaking them in it for an hour: drain carefully, barely cover with boiling salted water, cook gently until soft, and strain. Having made a thick, white sauce with the liquor mingled with an equal quantity of scalded milk, thickened with butter and flour in the usual pro portions and seasoned agreeably with salt, pepper and lemon juice, put the salsify into fireproof shells, mask with the sauce, strew lightly with bread crumbs and a few knobs of butter, and brown in a quick oven. Or. if pre ferred, serve in cases of puff paste. Vegetarian Risscles. Rub three ounces of butter into one half pound of whole-meal bread crumbs, adding one tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley, one teaspoon ful each of shredded onion and of minced herbs, a grate of nutmeg and lemon peel and seasoning to taste; mix this with an egg beaten up in one teacupful of milk, or, better still it available, of white sauce; mold into balls or torpedoes, fry in hot fat and serve garnished with daintily fried slices of hard-boiled egg, handing brown sauce and red currant jelly at the same time. Irish Iceberg. Put four cupful3 of water and two cupfuls of sugar in saucepan, bring to the boiling point and let boil 20 min utes. Cool, add three-fourths cupful of lemon juice. Color green and strain. Freeze, using three parts of finely crushed ice to one part of rock salt. Serve in tall dessert glasses and pour over each portion one teaspoonful of creme de menthe. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, using Jordan almonds, English walnuts, and pecans in equal proportions.—Woman's Home Com panion. Pommes a la Creme. Having smoothly blended one table spoonful each of butter and flour, stir them Into one breakfast cupful of hot milk, continue stirring over the fire until thick, season well, and add two breakfast cupfuls of sliced cooked po tatoes and a little chopped parsley, heating thoroughly and serving, browned or not in the oven, in a deep dish. Veal Salad. This is nice when you have finished with a roast of veal. Cut up veal in dice, also bunch of celery diced, place on bed of lettuce leaves. Pour over dressing, place few olives, stuffed ones with red peppers look attractive and add a delicate flavor, too, by chopping in a few with the salad. Bacon and Apples. Core and peel the apples and cut into one-half inch slices. Cut the same amount of bacon into very thin slices. Fry the bacon in its own good fat un til crisp and put it on a hot dish. Fry the apples in the bacon fat until light brown; arrange around the bacon. Serve very hot ; Get the Habit of | Drinking Hot Water Before Breakfast Says we can't look or feel right with the system full of poisons. Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. "What's an inside bath?" you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts. There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This is a very excellent health measure. It is in tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous day's waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over In the body which, if net eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, tho quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into tho blood causing headache, bilious at tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep lessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments. People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to ob tain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or store keeper. Thi3 will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sani tation. Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast ly more important to bathe on the in side than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities in to the blood, while the bowel pore3 do. —Adv. MUST TAKE TIME TO REST Development of Beauty Depends a Great Deal on That and on One’s Environment. • It cannot be impressed upon us too often that harmony of surroundings is absolutely necessary to the devel opment of beauty. It depends on the soul quality for its inspiration and growth. The soul quality dies unless nurtured by such surroundings as are pleasing. Each personality must ehos'1 the col ors and shades that are most soothing. Every woman cannot have her home decorated just as she wishes. But ev ery woman can have some one corner that is her own that is decorated in the colors and with the things (they may be very simple and inexpensive) that appeal to her. When she is tired let her go to this corner and find rest there, reading her favorite authors, looking at her favorite pictures, sew ing. crocheting or sitting and thinking. If it is impossible for such a corner to be had. surely there is some spot of the town or city, some library, mu seum. church, park, some place where she can find rest in the picture that surrounds her. Luxury, when you think of it, is not of necessity attractive. So often it is in bad taste that the joy comes often in being able not to have to indulge in it. Most women are much more attrac tive at home. This is because in the setting of the things they love, which are part of their personalities, they arc in repose. The woman who is beautiful under the glare of the sun in all sorts of places is indeed fortu nate ! "Haste makes waste," despite the fact that one has to hustle in order to keep up with the wagon. Don't count your chickens before they are big enough to bluff the cat. GOOD REPORT Doctor Proved Value of Postum.
