Potter, a representative of the Burlington railway company, was in Hazard Saturday afternoon to aid in the organization of a seed and labor bureau. Cane, millet and other forage crop seeds have been very scarce and high in price this spring making it al I most impossible for the farmers to !secure these such needed seeds at a ! reasonable price. The Agricultural De I partment of the Burlington inspect ! all seed and in all cases have been ! able to buy from 10 per cent to 25 per cent cheaper than the farmer could buy from seed houses. Alliance Pinto beans are 15 cents per pound f. o. b. Denver. Colo. Any one wanting seed of any kind should report to C. W. Trumble. Hazard. Neb. and every effort will be made to sup ply same. An effort is being made to secure a car of cane seed for this vicinity. In regard to labor it may be said that the state and the railroad company are working together. A state labor bureau has been establish ed at Lincoln and a county bureau at Loup City. Any farmer wanting help I should report it in order that an ef fort may be made to supply him. The late weather conditions will nc : doubt make it necessary to replant ! considerable corn and seed is liable I to be scarce. Any one having a surplus | should report it because some one | along the line can probably use it. GROWING HOGS. For a hog to be profitable he must j be kept growing from birth to market ing age.

TO LOUP CITY ELECTRIC LIGHT CONSUMERS. Loup City, Neb., May 31, 1917. There has been some agitation about electric light rates in Loup City: We have carefully figured over our invest ment in the business, and amount of expense we are to each motnth, and considering that our fuel oil, costs nearly double what it did about a year ago, as well as all other material ; which we buy, and labor now worth: more than it used to be, we find that ■ we are not going to be able to reduce j our rates as much at this time as we 1 had hoped to do. and leave us a fair renumeration to cover depreciation, and interest on our investment. If we could give service as many towns of this size do. and as our franchise calls for. Viz—from twilight until 12 p. m. and from 5 a. m. until daylight we could make a much lower rate, but when we give you continuous service and you can use your lights at any time, day or night, it causes us to more than double our expense in cost of running, and we do not take in over 25 per cent more money than if we run according to the franchise. But with our new machinery installed last summer, we now have sufficient pow er, and we desire to give continuous service and as good service as pos sible. mere Has also been some discus sion as to whether we are allowed by law to charge meter rent to the pat rons, who do not own their own met ers. We (have had the opinion of different lawyers upon this matter, and they do not seem to agree, so iu order to treat all of our customers as near fair as possible, we have decided that starting May 1, 1917, we will not charge meter rent to those who have not bought and paid for their meters: This will make the minimum charge to be $1.00 per month in the future in stead of $1.25 as it has been in the past. In addition to that in place of charging the 20 cent rate according to the franchise as in the past with 10 per cent discount to those wito paid cash we will make the dis cout enough to those who will call at our office and pay before the 10th day of the month that their net rate will be 17 cents. We will also put into effect a sliding scale to those who use large amounts of current. To our pat rons who now own their meters or who will buy them in the future, we will give them 25 per cent discount, if they call at our office, and pay their bill before the tenth of the month fol lowing the reading of their meters. This will make them a net rate of 15 cents and a minimum charge of $1.00 With a sliding scale to those who use large amounts of current. In addition to this any of our customers who wish to put in electric stoves, we will make them a G cent rate for cooking. They to buy their stoves and meters. We hqpe that these reductions in rates; which will mean considerable' less income to us will be satisfactory to our patrons. Call at our office for rates made on our new sliding scale. Yours sincerely, Loup Citv Light and Power Co. __! I Mr. Kicker, you think the editor of r this paper sho.uld be able to please j everybody, don't you?

State as Well as the Federal Law Now j Makes it Unlawful to Hunt. Even since the passage of the what is known as the federal game law. | which eliminated the spring shooting J there has been considerable argument j on the part of the sportsmen of the ] state as to whether or not they had | the right to hunt under the provisions of the state law and pay no attention to the federal provisions. Several of the more ardent of the hunters paid no attention to the federal provisions, but hunted openly it being their opin ion that the matter of the “state's rights” took preference. The recent session of the Nebraska legislature however, left the spring hunter no leg to stand upon the game laws of Ne braska being so amended as to be in conformity with ihe federal provisions so far as the first of the year shoot ing is concerned. Hunters who have each year made | goodly bags of doves and quail during j the fifteen days of the open season. I will do so no more, unless they desire | to pay heavy fines, as these birds are now protected the whole year round. I The open season on prairie chickens j and snipe has also been changed. The most of the important changes are as; follows: S. F. 113, introduced by Senator Adams of Dawes, was the vehicle used i for making these changes. The senate! tampered with the bill and when it reached the house it was again doc-i tored and when the bill received Gov-! ernor Neville's approval it contained1 a provision repealing the open season j for quail and doves. It is said the bill now contains no mention of an open season on plover. As these birds may be considered game hirds. they are! probably protected the year through by the provisions of the bill applying in general to game birds. The bill makes the state law con form to government regulations in re gard to other water fowl. The old state law permitted the shooting of ducks and geese from September 1 to April 5. The new law permits shooting of these birds from September IS to December 31. The bill contains an emergency clause and is now in force. The open season for snipe was for merly from September 1 to May 1. If is now from September IS to Decem ber 31, the same as the duck season. The open seasons now are as fol lows: November 1 to November 15.1 This has been repealed and so has the open season on doves and plover rrom July 15 to August 31. Senator Sawyer of Lancaster, offered the imendment which closed the season on doves. The prairie chicken season, which was formerly from September 1 to No vember 30, is changed so that hunters j mav try their luck from September 15 j to November 15. The open season for trout not' less j than eight inches long remains the j same, from April 1 to October 1. Toe open season for bass not less than eight inches long and all other fish protected by law remains the same as before from April 1 to November 15. The open season now are as follows: Ducks and gees-—September 15 and ending December 31. Snipe—September 16 and ending December 31. Chickens and grouse—September 15 and ending November 15. Trout—April 1, ending October 1. Bass and other fish—April 1 and j ending November 15. No open season on quail or doves swans.whitecrane. Chinese pheasants or any other game bird imported for propogation. The old law permitting the seining of fish during June. July. August and September on licenses issued by the i chief game warden has been changed somewhat. The game warden is given \ discretionary power to issue seining li cense for the taking of buffalo, carp and gar with seins of two-inch mesh, i The game warden will probably de cline to issue such license. The seining law is amended in one important respect. It no longer per mits the seining of catfish. Section 2679 of the statutes, relat ing to unlawful possession or sale of game birds and fish, has been amend ed so that it is quite plain that cat fish cannot be sold, for several years the law has permitted the sale of cat fish, but game wardens have endeav ored to conceal the fact from the pub lie by omitting the provision from the' game laws printed for general cireu-; lation. The amended law permits the sale during the open season of game birds or fish except sturgeon, buffalo, carp, suckers, catfish and gar fish. At the present express rate of speed of the congressional slackers and porkers and obstructionists we will have any army of a hundred men in France in about fifty years. Like the jackass we do move.
