And now America is a party to the

hope is stronger than liefore. because'
American sentiment »til be so strong
lor a free Poland that no peace plans ,
will prevail unless they shall coropre

nearly two centuries Indeed, so it is
reported from Washington. President
W'listen has announced that America
will demand that the frinioni of Po
land shall be a part of any acceptable
peace proposal

WINTER WHEAT SEED SITUATION
IS SERIOUS.
"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.”

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.—

THE LIBERTY LOAN.
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.

A WORD TO THE FARM RENTER
Why not sow fall wheat on your own land this year and take all the pi"'
that his crop is sure to bring you? Stop turning over 40 to 50 per cent of you
energies and their results to your landlord. Buy some of those splendid Sout
western Nebraska or Northeastern Colorado lands - approved wheat lands
from $20 to $40 an acre. This is a hog and cat'tle country, too. with tiig proto
coming from dairying because you can raise forage cheaply and ensilage croj
plentifully.
We can send you right now carefully prepared leaflets. "Go to Southv. " •
Nebraska.” "There's a Farm for You in Colorado.” telling you all about tie
'fWHIBg} low-priced deeded lands, or if you want a stockraising horn
I stead of t>40 acres in Northeastern Wyoming, send for our F
