No ssWfimeut or friendship should he al lowed lo swav those whom we have placed in authority over us. for the public welfare must predominate over every other consideration. To put the case bluntly. America must work or starve. What can the women of our town do to help win ihe war’ She can do mu- h many things. The principal thing she ran do however, is to re el u e the cost of her own table by in «leasing the production of garden '*««d* at home. Kvery penny’s worth of food she raises releases just that liitt> h that can be devoted toward feed ing Mvme other person who has no place for a garden. In addition to feed ing the people of our own country,, we must supply food for the people of Kngiand. Frame. Russia and Italy, m whh h countries so many people are fighting that they can not produce enough food to keep their people from sfarraiion While the head of the fam ily in this town is conducting his buMnesc affairs, the wife and young sons and daughters can do much in the garden, and iu this crisis it will be a signal honor for them to do so. When you see a woman planting and weeding anil caring for her garden you will know that there is a woman who has principle as well as pluck, and one who places the welfare of her country above the soiling of her hands. The cost of living is gettng intoler able. Upon even the flimsiest excuse prices of foodstuffs are raised, and if no excuse exists they are boosed on general principles. Millions of peo ple who are dependent upon their daily labor find it almost impossible to keep body and soul together. In many hundreds of thousands of cases their vitality is slipping away from pure lack of sufficient nourish ment. Yet in the very face of this the insatiable food speculators and profit grabbers are turning the screws Lighter every day. There appears to be but one way in which this sucking of tlie blood of humanity can be stop ped, and that is for the government to take prompt action and fix a maxi mum price at which every article of food is to be sold, and in fixing the maximum the price should be first scheduled down to normal. The fact that a scarcity in foodstuffs exists should not be accepted as an excuse for allowing prices to remain at their present outrageous figures. And tiie same action should be taken with reference to every article of necessity that we use. POTATO CULTURE. The growing of potatoes as an emergency crop to meet the impending food shortage is discussed in Emer gency llulletin No. 5, just issued by the Extension Service of the College of Agriculture. Increased production of potatoes is recommended because of their importance as a human food, tiie present shortage of food, and the relative ease of production. The bul letin contains full instructions as to preparation of soil, choice of varie ties, selection of seed, planting and spacing, cultivation, and control of d eases It will be sent fre3 upon ap plication to the Extension Service, University Farm, Lincoln. BEANS AS A WAR CROP. Because of their great value as hu man food, beans are recommended as a “war crop” to replant winterk ' 'ed crops in Nebraska. According to a new bulletin issued by the Agricul tural Extension Service, they are not only rich in protein but peculiarly nourishing. The climate and soil of Nebraska, especially of the western1 part of the state, are favorable to! bean production. Full particulars as to how to grow beans are contained in Emergency Bulletin No. 4. “Bean Cul ture.” recently issued by the Exten- j -ion Service of the College of Agri- j culture. University Farm, Lincoln. It will be sent free upon request. POULTRY FOR EACH FAMILY. Three hens set now with 15 eggs ! each will make the average family I independent of the cold storage egg merchant next winter, according to College of Agriculture poultry hus bandry specialists. These eggs will hatch, on au average, 25 live chicks of which 12 will he pullets. With pro per care, they will lay 4 dozen eggs weekly, the amount consumed by the average family. Two piano boxes placed back to back make a poultry house large enough to winter 12 pul lets. Such boxes cost $2 each. The cost of feed required to raise the ] pullets will l>e offset by the income j from the sale of cockerels. Moreover, table scraps (nearly a million dol lars worth of which is wasted annual ly in the United States) can be util ized. Daily sells for less. Try Chase's first—it pays. Why all this Hollering About High Prices? A year ago it took 54 bushels corn to pay for 10M Shingles while now the same amount of corn will pay for the same Shingles and 500 feet common lumber 5 Gallons Paint 20 Pounds Nails 20 Rods 26 in Hog Fence Last year it took a 400 pound hog to pay for 200 best posts while now the same hog will pay for the same posts and 3 Reels Barb Wire 15 Pounds Staples Last year it took 60 bushels wheat to pay for 2000 feet common lumber while now for the same amount of wheat we will build you one of our Special Garages com plete with cement floor, furnish all lumber, windows, doors, hardwTare. and paint and we will even pay the car penter and on top of all that make you a present of 2 screen doors and 2 tons of our best coal. Why should we apologize for our prices? They are lower in proportion than ever before. We can save you money. Hansen Lumber Co. COAL PAINTS WIRE Attractive Summer Tours .

The eagerness with which small na tions are seeking to line up against Germany and at the same time to ap ply to the United States for a loan from the billions which we have ap propriated for the assistance of our allies, indicates that America is look ed upon as the pie counter of the world. Under the freedom which has been granted to the administration in the distribution of these billions, there is some danger that Mr. McAdoo may be overwhelmed in the onslaught of would-be borrowers. He can find ample reinforcement in a policy of pru dence if he will persuade his distin guished father-in-law to assent to the formation of the proposed joint com mittee on the conduct of the war.. That committee can take a lot of responsi bility in the determination of policies afferting our war expenditures as well as in other helpful directions. AN INEFFECTIVE INQUIRY. The Trade Commission's report on the gasoline problem produced its main effect in the stock market, where oil securities went off several points. It has not affected the price of gas. Nor, it is safe to conclude, will the adoption of any of the legislative anodynes which the commission recom mends. Among the laws which the commission suggests there is a strange omission, namely, an enactment to re peal or otherwise render nugatory the law of supply and demand. That is what governs the price of gasoline; and the uses of war and the needs of peace both require gas. Col. ltoose velt's suggestion to cut out joy-riding as a means of conserving the supply of gas has more real meat in it and cost the country nothing. Whereas the Trtfde Commission’s inquiry took a lot of real money. HANDLING THE “GRASS WIDOW” One way of increasing the output of i the hog lot is the raising of two lit- j ters of pigs a year from each sow. I From early June to early August many “grass widows,” as sowrs which have produced a spring litter are called, are ! sent to market. The most economical use of these animals is to make them produce a fall litter. These sows can be bred as soon as they have weaned their spring pigs. Fall pigs are ready for market when there is" a scarcity of markeable hogs and when the price is relatively high. They may be fed for spring market or may be finished on summer pasture. SKILLED MEN WANTED. . Washington, May S—The marine corps is especially in need of techni cal men—men experienced in electri cal, mechanical, civil and automobile engineering, and aviation, and is of fering special inducements to men of this kind who want to be “first to fight,” according to an announcement made from their headquarters today. To insure a completely uniform and trained body all marine corps re cruits must first undergo preliminary military and naval training, but upon its completion those so desiring are available for positions in which they are best fitted. GIVING AWAY A FORD. The Journal publications, The Ne braska State Journal, Lincoln Daily News and Nebraska Ruralist (semi monthly rural magazine) are giving away another Ford, a touring car this time, to the agent turning in the most subscription business between May 1 and June 30. Anyone is eligible to be come an agent and a commission is paid on all subscriptions turned in. As an additional incentive a prize of $25 cash is offered the a^ent turn ing in the most business in the con test before May 31. WHY SUFFER SO? Why suffer from a bad hack, from sharp, shooting twinges, headaches, dizziness and distressing urinary ills? Loup City people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could you ask for stronger proof of merit? Mrs. W. H. Hughes, Loup City, says: “I have been a sufferer from kidney and bladder trouble off and on for many years. The kidney se cretions were retarded and at times, my hands and feet swelled up. I was dizzy and everything turned black before me. I read such good accounts about Doan’s Kidney Pills helping others, that I decided to try them, procuring them at Swanson's Drug Store. They helped me wonderfully.” Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don't simply aSk for a kedney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—th same that Mrs. Hughes had. Foster-Milbum Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
