PREVENT FOOD SHORTAGE.
Omaha. Neb., April 25.—Nebraska
farmers are to be “shown” the way

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.”

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.
Although receipts were very ligtit
packers had real bearish dope anti ns
sellers were asking higher prices prac

o'clock.

CHURCH NOTES.
Presbyterian
Dr. John E. 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
