PREVENT FOOD SHORTAGE. Omaha. Neb., April 25.—Nebraska farmers are to be “shown” the way in »lu ti they can render America the greatest amount of assistance in the v ar with Germany. They are to be given expert instruction in the art of I utilizing every square foot of ground on their farms, in making every acre prodm e to the utmost limit and in caring for the crops after they are harvested. \s quickly as the anrtfingements can mad", and before the season is too far advanced, the Union Pacific Railroad will operate a “conserva 11ion" Ira n through Nebraska with the i in. object of inducing the farmers to -peed up" their work and pro duce to the very limit, despite the I ...r crop prospects in the Trans Mis -■ f i • ountry. President Ualvin of Un ion Pacific, who f* an enthusiastic ad ' • at" of military preparedness and ah that the term implies, is taking at *iv" interest in the plans for pushing the produetion of foodstuffs in the western country and the conservation will lie operated under his per sonal supervision. Iii Nebraska where thousands of m - hi w inter wheat fields are re !>■■ "<l in had condition, the farmers mil In- told what to do with their land n order to replace the shortage in * '.' it w ith some other grain. The conservation train will be ac ■ o:npanied by experts from the agri cultural colleges of the big western 'tale- in addition, successful, prac i il farmers along the line of Union fa I• i will give plan "talks” to their m gliliors along the lines with which they are most familiar. “Union Pacific is going to do every thing in its power to assist in mobol ising the country which it serves” aid President Calvin. “When the har vest rolls around next fall we want it -aid that the trans-Missouri country by keeping Umde Sam’s breadbaskets filled has done as much towards win ning tlie war as have the eastern -tales with their munition and shell factories.” AUSTIN SIDELIGHTS t F.

The pupils in the high school room were dismissed for Thursday and Fri day on account of the eighth grade examinations which were held at Aus tin in the high school room. The Austin opera troupe journeyed to Ashton last Saturday and gave their play in the opera house to a small crowd. We thought Ashton was a live town but it looks pretty slow, when little Austin can turn out four times as large a crowd. Some trouble was had on the road because of the heavy rain a few days before but we all arrived home safe. INCREASE CORN PRODUCTION IN PROVED CORN-GROWING REGIONS. Washington. D. C., April 25.—The secretary of agriculture has issued the following statement: Corn is America’s most important cereal. It can be grown successfully over a wider area than any other and furinshes nutritious food for man as well as the staple grain feed for cattle and draft animals. The production of corn should be increased this year to the fullest extent, taking into con sideration seed, labor, and existing economic conditions, and the avail ability of good land in corn growing regions not needed more urgently for other crops. The acreage may well be increased in most of the country east of the 100th meridian, as corn, in general, thrives in this region. An appreciable increase in the corn prop is most feasible, however, in the sections of highest corn production. Favorable growing conditions exist in such regions; farmers there are fa miliar with corn-growing; they have the necessary equipment available, and have adapted corn production to pre vailing economic conditions. Farmers in iuch regions, through many years of experience, have learned methods of successfully combating adverse con ditions. They know that the planting of virile, tested seed in well-tilled, friable soil, immediate replanting of missing hills, and early and continued cultivation of the fields count for much in the ability of the plants to produce a bountiful yield. This knowledge should be put to good use during the coming season in order that however unfavorable conditions may be pro duction of an exceptionally large crop may be assured. In practically every county in the country in which experience has shown that corn may be produced successful ly, the possibilities of increasing the corn crop without encroaching upon other important crops at least worthy of consideration if land, labor and seed are available. • A LOUP CITY WOMAN’S EXPER IENCE. Can you doubt the evidence of this Loup City woman? You can verify Loup City endorse ment. Read this: Mrs. Viola Odendahl, prop, of The Frederick Hotel. Loup City, says: "I think Doan’s Kidney Pills are well worthy of praise as a kidney medicine. I have used them only on two occa sions and they have brought the best of results. I used to be troubled by my kidneys and at times my feet and ankles swelled up. I also had occa sional attacks of backache. I used Doan's^Kidney Pills, which. I got at Swanson's Drug store, and I became better. 1 have had no necessity to use any kidney medicine of late.” Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Odendahl had. Foster-Milburn Co.. Props.. Buffalo, N. Y. FOR SALE. Ten head of brood sows and one span of young mares.

Though Run is Smallest for Monday in Over a Month. Union Stock Yards, South Omaha, Nebraska, April 24, 1917.—'The week opened out with a very moderate run of cattle, arrivals counting in l-’;* cars or approximately 3,400 head. There was a very respectable demand from both local packers and shipping buyers for anything that had some quality and weight and values were considered steady to a little stronger than the latter part of last week. On the other hand ordinary light and medium weight beeves were not in very great request and the market was rather dull and barely steady for this class of stock, which constituted a pretty good share of the offerings. I Good to choice heavy weight cattle I sold at $11.00® 12.00, and the fair to good I.Oiki to 1,200-pound beeves went largely around $10.05® 11.40.

Receipts of hogs were comparative ly moderate for a Monday, receipts consisted of 1*4 ears or alioiit (1.SO0 head. Packers controlled the market and prices tumbled sharply. Shippers did very little, on early rounds at least, and with sharp declines ail around the circuit even moderate re ceipts could not stive the market from packers’ bearishness. The general market was 15@25r lower and closed somewhat slow and weak. A good share of the hogs sold at a spread of Sir>.00@lo.2o. On load sold early in the day at $15.(15. Only odd loads landed above $15.35 or $1.0.40. Tin* smallest run of sheep and lamhs that have been here at the opening of any week since more than a month ago was on hand Monday, es timates called for 27 cars or 6,500 head.

Farmer, vice president j of Hastings college dropped in on it* last Saturday and spent Sunday with us, He preached two magnificent ser mons. also one at Austin in the after noon. Those who were not present at these services missed a rare treat. The Men's Bible class had a shovel j and wheelbarrow party on the church lawn Tuesday evening. It was a sort of a welcome party to the new curb recently placed around the church property. The subject for the sermon Sunday ' morning will be. “The Spirit of Cat vary Reincarnated” and Sunday even ing. “How Much Better is a than a Sheep.” Miss Lena Smith will lead Christian Endeavor Sunday evening at 7:00 o'clock. “Missionary Opportunities in Latin America.” will be the subject. Methodist. We had about 40 young people at Epworth League Sunday evening. The audience were two of the best for the year. The three morning addresses setting forth the principle of steward ship were right to the point, and great ly appreciated. We are glad we have such talent in our church. God's blessing rested upon the teams of leaders in their visitation of the members according to the reports handed in Sunday night. The estimate of our church budget for the year ;s $2,200. The amount pledged is $1,730. We know where the balance is com ing from if those who have not been seen do as nicely as the rest. The great majority of our 340 members have kindly cooperated in the plan. There are a few fizzlers. We w-ill have them spotted shortly. So far as we have been able to ascertain, not a single team fizzled the plan. Only five fizzled the Sunday morning consecration ser vice by failing to take the vow and make the consecration. However. every team was represented in the twenty captains at the altar. The pastor is inexpressibly grateful to the teams and those who pledged for their de lightful response to the plan. The pastor extends an earnest call to all our Methodist folks and friends to attend the morning meeting next Sunday. A special address on. "Pio neer Work for Christ.” Some special remarks of much importance to you all by the pastor. We will have a large wall poster containing the red figures referred to last Sunday morning. Our motto for this year is. “No figures in the red.” We can easily make good if we will. In the evening the third ad dress at eight o'clock on, “The Modern Young Man." Young men we want you to come and feel welcome. Mason Phillips will lead Epworth League at 7 o'clock. Topic. ‘Symmetrical Versus Lop-sided Development.” All young people and all who feel young, invited. There will be a rally meeting held at the Wiggle Creek church Fridav night. Rev. Gorrnon of Ravenna, wi’l speak on "Stewardship.” Rev. Kelly of Sargent on “The Church Press.” The pastor will present the new financial plan briefly. Service will begin at 8:15. Everybody welcome. RURAL LIFE CONFERENCE POST PONED Because of the present war emer gency, the rural life conference, which was scheduled to be held at the Uni versity Farm June 5 to 15. has been postponed. It was felt that time an 1 energy can be spent in more important work related to war. CONSTIPATION AND INDIGESTION These are twin evils. Pereons suf fering from indigestion are often troubled with constipation. Mrs. Rob ert Allison. Mattoon, 111., writes that when she first moved to Mattoon she was a great sufferer from indigestion and constipation. Food distressed her and there was a feeling like a heavy weight pressing on her stomach and chest. She (fid not rest well at night, and felt worn out a good part of the time. One bottle of Chamberlain's j Tablets corrected this trouble so that i she has since felt like a different per-; son. i A little ad in The Northwestern will always bring results I rnr i Business and professional Guide ROBT.
