"Lcuok to the winter wheat seed sup Hr!* This is the burden of a statement >u»t Issued by the Nebraska Council i of Defense which points out that many counties of tbe state must make im mediate provision for the winter wheat seed supply if a sufficient amount of weed is to be available for nest fall's planting Tbe statement follows: "The information being gathered by the Nebraska State Council of Defense from various sections of the state' shows that immediate attention should be given to the providing of the neces awry seed for the winter wheat acre age to be sown next fall ■'Several of the counties of the state wiu.b usually raise large quantities of winter wheat will not raise enough this year to provide* for their usual seed re quirements In most of these counties, there is sufficient wheat of last year's crop to provide the necessary seed: hut sales and shipments are now being made whi< h may make it necessary to ship seed wheat hack into these coun ties again "The State Counc il of lietense ear ttestly urges that local Council* of He fense. commercial dubs, bankers, ele vator men. wheat owners, and farm ers immediately organize* themselves to meet the situation Equitable arrangements can and ■Iinulil be made with the owners of wheat in tlitee several communities 40 that the farmers who need the wheat for seed and those who have it for sale shall be equallv well treated as to price. "This Council's advice is that farm ers should not wait until this year's crop is harvested. Last year's wheat is excellent in quality and no chances should be taken as to having to ship in seed wheat from outside the county or state when it is possible to obtain the necessary supplies now. "Nebraska State Council of Defense. "Geo Coupland. Vice Chairman. DELIVER US FROM HATRED. There is one vital point upon which we as citizens must guard ourselves in the great contest before us. and that i- that there grow not up in our hearts a spirit of hatred toward those in our midst with foreign blood in their veins. We have said that we are not to prosecute a war of revenge, but a con test for right and justice. This senti ment comes easy enough at this time. The danger will come later, when the real shock of war is felt and grim death fans us with his sable wings as be takes a son from this home and husband or brother from that one. Americans can not afford to harbor hatred, and especially can they not afford animosity toward our citizens nf foreign descent. If the citizen of Teutonii blood is loyal to our country, though he grieve at the necessity for war with his fatherland, his burden is heavy enough without the added knowledge or suspicion that he is viewed with antagonism and distrust. There are some who are unquestion cbly traitors to the land of llieir adop lion, but they will soon come to tlieir just end. Time will efface them. But their a> ts should not prejudice in our minds those who are loyal and who are, stanchly supporting the government, ■veil though it be with hearts sadden •d by regrets. If Americans are even approximate ly true to their ideals they will not permit the loyal to suffer for the acts it the disloyal. To do so would be to iefeat the very aims in view in the struggle before us. W'e now are impelled by one con 'tuning desire, the freedom of human ity in its broadest sense, and the greatest freedom to which we can at tain is freedom of heart from rancor and bitterness. No great cause was ever won with >ut martyrdom. Some must suffer greatly, all must suffer some. It is nature's way in which she works out human redemption. But if bitterness and hatred is permitted to creep into the martyrdom and suffering, their up lifting and purifying influence is nul lified. Let us pray to he delivered from all bitterness, that when the contest is •tided even our foes may be brought to the light as we see it. WORDS FROM HOME. Statements That May Be Investigated. Testimony of Loup City Citizens. When a Loup City citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neigh bors of his experience, you can rely an his sincerity. The statements of people residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs I loan's Kidney Bills. Such testimony is convincing. Investigation proves it true Below is a statement of a Loup City resident. No stronger proof of merit can he had. Janies Johansen. Loup City, says: "I was in pretty had shape with my back and couldn't stoop or straighten up without being in misery. Sharp pains often seized me and 1 dropped to the ground. As soon as 1 began using Doan's Kidney Bills which I bought at Swanson's Drug Store. I sould tell that 1 was being helped. They surely did good work.” Brice -">0 cents at all dealers.

The game went fine from the' start but went bad at last. Our lads j took the short end of the 10 to 11 score. Sczvdiek was the tosser for Ashton while Maschka hurled for our lads. In the last half of the eighth the score stood 10 to 2 in Ashton's favor. Our boys made four home runs. This was the first game and was prett-y good and the next game is expected to be better. CITY ENGINEER SPEAKS. The Federal Govemmen demands the production of as much food pro ducts as possible and the government puts tenents on all lands under gov ernment canals to crop and irrigate the same where the owner fails to arrange for water for irrigation. Our city has but little water. About j four ordinary house faucets of the ISO water patrons will let through all the water we are pumping and we are! charging some $00 per acre for what - insignificant amount is used for irri- i gation. The Austin Irrigation Company gives a flat rate of $1.50 per acre. The city could have assisted the Federal Government in the production of food products either by putting in a pump in the south well or by put ting in an 8-inch well immediately south of the south well with a capacity to cover each and every lot 50 ft. by 140 ft. of 270 lots. 12 inches deep in water in 34 days at a cost of 1 cent per thousand gallons or 35 cents per | lot, charging each producer the actual cost of the fuel or electricity used fori pumping. On account of the city's excessive! high irrigation rate, the cold water is scantily sprayed over potato tops and tops of other growing food products, instead of sufficient water being plac ed in small furrows to soak to the roots of potatoes and other growing pro ducts, which is the only correct meth od to irrigate potatoes and other food products direct from the city mains. One dry summer, some years ago. James Depew irrigated potatoes direct from city mains by spraying and had a great growth of potato tops and no potatoes. Each of these 25x140 ft. lots, proper ly irrigated, will yield 75 bushels of tomatoes, or 55 bushels of onions, or 2 tons of cabbage or 30 bushtls of po tatoes, ranging in price from $30 to $75 for the food products grown on each lot or some $13,500 for the food products grown on 270 lots. Steve Sweetland raised cabbage weighing from 10 to 15 pounds pet head by running water between the rows from a windmill well, and Wm. Fletcher produced as fine strawberries by widmill irrigation as ever produced in the state. Alonzo Daddow by windmill well ir ligation has abundance of strawberries from the early season till fall frosts. We have plenty of men. women and children who need the exercise of tending under irrigation all the avail able crop land in the corporation, pro vided water was furnished at reason able rate and they would produce thousands of dollars worth of food pro ducts. Our city should have furnished wat er for irrigation at a reasonable rate thereby showing patriotism by good deeds. T. W. O. WOLFE, City Engineer. OUTLOOK FOP THE CORN CROP. Very favorable weather conditions have existed for the last week or ten days and the greatly belated com crop is now moving forward rapidly and satisfactorily. As before stated, the acreage this year is the greatest ever known in the state and notwithstanding that cold and wet weather came late, the stand is reported almost universally as excellent. Reports received at this office from many sections of the state tell a uniform story of a good stand, of the crop being late but that farm ers are crowding work and that the fields are remarkably clean. With good corn weather now with us. be tween this and the Fourth of July the growing crop should show a wonder ful change. The May rains have left the ground in good condition so that with ordinary summer rains, Nebras ka ought to harvest a corn crop un precedented in volume in the record of the state. Some interest in this connection is being taken in national legislation covering food control but it is no genetrally regarded that out side of speculators, that price will be affected. Prices may not be so high as speculators might force them, but they will be much more fixed and stable and certainly with the immense amount of production required, the crops of every kind of 1917 will bring high prices to the producers. Indications continue to show that the oat crop will be the largest ever harvested in the state. There will be more winter wheat than expected— probably enough to furnish seed for fall sowing and the spring wheat sec tion of the state, gives promise now of having double the amount of spring wheat raised this year over that pro duced ill the. state one year ago.— Trade Review'.

The Liberty Loan campaign was es sentially one of education, and with out the generous and patriotic sup port of the press of the Nation the hope of those in charge that it would be a popular loan would not have been realized. The untiring efforts of the newspapers throughout the cam paign were a constant inspiration to the various other groups of workers. At a time when news space was at a premium the Liberty Loan was featur ed at length. Newspapers and magazines, in their news, editorial, and advertising col umns. fought for the success of the loan every step of the way. The foreign language press, in 36 languages, gave daily proof of the undoubted loyalty of peoples of foreign birth. WM. G. MCADOO. Secretary of the Treasury. SLACKERS NOT WANTED. Washington.
