CORN SHOW JANUARY 15 to 20.

features of Organized Agriculture
Week at the University Farm, Lin
coln. January 15 to 20, when twenty
eight agricultural societies meet sim
ultaneously for annual sessions. The
com show is to be held in connection

ation is arranging to have an exhibit
at the university farm campus.
Special attention is to be paid to
Nebraska youngsters w-ho are grow
ing com. Separate classes will be

to enter from corn grown on land
operated by a relative, entries being
limited to boys from 10 to 18 years
of age inclusive.

Loup City case.
H. N. Hendrickson, blachsmith,
Loup City, says: “1 was flat on my
back for about three weeks on ac
count of the intense pain across my
kidneys. I had been following the
blacksmith trade for twenty-six
years and I think that had a lot to do
with bringing on the trouble in the
first place. I knew my kidneys were
out of order, so I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills. They cured me and I
have never been bothered since.”

A MODEL COMMUNITY.
Down among the mountains of Ten
nesee, high on the Cumberland Table
lands, lies the little town of Clifty.
It is just a little mining town, peo
pled by a hardy, industrious set of
people, but it is showing to the world
how neighbors and frieqds may
“dwell together in unity.”
We have said that it is a mining
town, but it is more: that the people
are hardy and industrious, but they
are more: they have the true com
munity spirit—they are real neigh
bors.
This little town has conceived and
put into force some community
plans that might well be copied by
other towns; Of course almost everi
family in the town owns and culti
vates its own garden and "truck'
patches, but this is not all. A fen
years ago the mine superintendent. ;
man of considerable learning and of »
progressive spirit, conceived the plan
of having all the citizens of the town
own and cultivate a small tract of
land in common. Five or six acres
were first bought and cultivated as
a “community farm." The result was
a pronounced success, and eacn year
thereafter the tow-n added to its hold
ings until this past season it had
about one hundred acres under culti
vation on the “community” plan, and
the people announce their intention
of branching out still further.
Now there would be nothing out of
the common in this if the experiment
had not developed some gratifying
results.
First, they discovered that instead
of fifteen or twenty families (about
the number interested in the "com
munity”) each having to own and
maintain a team, three or four teams
were amply sufficient.
Again they discovered that instead
of fifteen or twenty sets of agricul
tural implements being needed, only
three or four of each kind were neces
sary, and of some, only one—a great
saving all must admit. Each stock
holder bears his pro rata share of
expenses and furnishes his pro rata
amount of labor.
Briefly, the plan has proven such a
success that the community now has
its own silo, blooded hogs and cattle,
and last year their exhibits led all
others at their county fair.
But these are not all of the results.
The close business association neces
sary in the successful working out of
the plans has developed a spirit of
community brotherhood that is a
pleasure to witness. In this little
town is exemplified a typical brother
hood of man. The welfare and com
fort of the most humble is as care
fully looked after as that of the most
wealthy. They have a splendid school,
church, Sunday school, and recently
a commodious club house has been
erected that is proving a power for
good to both vouue men and older
ones.
We have briefly sketched the re
sults of this community plan of co
operation as showing what a true
community spirit will accomplice
Many features of interest have neces
sarily been omitted from this article
from lack of space. But should any
other community desire to know more
of their workings, a letter addressed
to the postmaster will receive prompt
and courteous answer and full infor
mation will be given of plans that
can not fail to benefit any community.
THE SICK LIST
Wm. Graefe is reported as improv
ing and is resting easy. Ira Hiddleson,
who was operated on for appendicitis,
is improving. F. E. Brewer is about
the same, with no improvement in his
condition noticeable. Walter Moon has
been seriously ill for several days
with a stroke of paralysis.
Henry Jenner went to Omaha, Wed
nesday, where he will spend a few
days on business,
A SCARCITY IN PENNIES.
Even though the number of the
rich who are growing richer has been
rapidly increasing, yet everybody
must have pennies. While there
may be bales of greenbacks and cur
rency, and wagon loads of gold, still
the money market is never evenly
balanced when pennies run shy. Civ
ilization depends upon copper, since
otherwise the boy who sells papers
would lose a large part of his patron
age; and the gum machine would
fail in performing its proper func
tion in case the copper cent failed to
lurk within the pockets of city
dwellers. The shortage of pennies
might have been expected, as there ts
always something running shy. One
week it is milk, and then the hens re
fuse to lay in proper quantities. Now
the treasury department has gotten
behind, with the result that Wall
Street and the other streets haven't
pennies enough to make change. The
Philadelphia and San Francisco mints
had to steam up and run twenty-four
hours a day, and the Denver mint is
operating on a sixteen hour schedule.
The use of the copper coins has in
creased at an enormous rate, per
haps because there is an extra penny
added on bread, the same thing has
happened with the price of milk. In
deed it is becoming quite the usual
thing for prices to end in odd pennies.
Perhaps it is not unreasonable to pre
diet that the man who shines shoes
will soon charge eleven cents; and
hair cuts may go to twenty-seven
cents a scalp. In view of the frequeht
strikes even the street cars might
consider raising their fares from a
nickel to six cents.
HOW TO SAVE FROZEN APPLES.
Apples which have been frozen on
the tree may be saved if they are not
touched until they have thawed out.
is the word that conies from the hor
ticultural section of the Nebraska Ex
periment Station.
If picked before completely thawed
out, the frozen apples will blacken and
decompose where touched. If picked
after thawing, they can be stored suc
cessfully in the usual manner unless
frozen too hard or thawed too quick
ly.
A good method of storing apples is
to bury them in a straw-lined hole
and cover them with 3 or 4 inches of
straw, and a layer of dirt of the same
depth. When this has frozen, add an
other layer of straw and another of
dirt. A third cap of straw and dirt
should be sufficient to keep them
through an ordinary winter.
MEET AT SAME ~t7mE IN OMAHA.
