NEBRASKA APPLE LAND
Thousands of Carloads of the Fruit
Being Shipped.
Southeastern Nebraska Is shipping
the finest apples that ever grew Into
the eastern markets.. A Nebraska
dally recently said: "Slice oft the
southeastern comer of Nebraska,
transport It to;the Paolfic or the South
Atlantic coast, leave Its soil, climate
and peoplo the same and put land
boomers at work for that particular
fruit growing section, and tho people
would invest their hard-earned dollars
in this land, bellovlng a now found
paradise was within their grasp.
Wo do not need land' boomers In
Nebraska, but we do need to know the
possibilities of f great state. For
over a hundred miles along tho Mis
souri river Is tho finest npplo land on
earth at prices ridiculously low.
Peter Youngers, tho pioneer horti
culturist ot Fillmore county, is ship
ping a carload of apples a day until
his crop Is marketed. From a twenty-
acre orchard no IB marketing ten
thousand bushels. He has one orch
ard which produced a net lncomo ol
$200 per acre at eight years, and $312
per aero when ten years old.
At Bluo Hill, Jesse W. McCoy has
1,500 buahelB of apples on one and
one-half acres. A land boomer from
Utah tried to sell him some Irrigated
land for $1,700 an acre, but Mr. McCoy
did not buy.
At Arlington Is another orchard of
eight acres which has produced 21,050
bushels of apples In twelve crops, and
the Henry C. Smith orchard of sixty
five acres, In Richardson county,
shipped forty-five carloads of apples
last year. This land cost ten dollars
an acre twenty years ago and 1b now
valued at $3,000 per acre.
Tiro Btate genoral fund Is now $80,
000 behind, on account of small re
mittances from county treasurers dur
ing the past two months. Warrants
against that fund are being taken up
with cash from tho educational Invest
ment funds, and It has not been neces
sary to register any warrants so far.

The state pardon board spent three

HOT WATER WILL RUIN LACE
Should Not Be More Than Tepid,
and the Delicate Fabrlo Must
Never Be Rubbed.
Persons who know nothing of the
care of flno lacca are often driven
to distraction when they try to find
out, owing to tho conflicting charac
ter of the rules laid down. Here are
some words of wisdom from the
mouth of a woman who has inherited
a lot of old lace, which she launders
herself when necesary.
. "Boiling water, which I saw recom
mended in a recent article on the
subject, should never be used," 'she
says emphatically. "It ''would ruin
anything but Imitation lace, and even
that would shrink to a string If sub
jected to such treatment Boiling wa
ter also Beta tho dirt In a dollcato
fabric. If lace is to be made clean
without injury to itself, tepid water
must be used, and the soap must
never bo rubbed directly upon It A
suds of pure soap and tepid water is
what agrees with it best and in that
tho laco should soak all night No
rubbing is one of the rules.
"In the morning the lace should be
lifted Into a new hair sieve and luke
warm water poured over It until it
runs clear. If it still looks soiled,
soak it again In suds and pinch gen
tly with a sideways motion and soap
ed fingers the spot where the dtrt or
stain Is. When all the dirt is soaked
out, rinse in bluing water unless a
very creamy tint is desired, in which
case very warm, but not boiling wa
ter, to which a little clear tea or cof
fee has been added, should be used
for the final rlnBlng.
"Some persons prefer the tea tint
to that given by coffee, and, In addi
tion, thero is no odor. It Is best to
try a piece of linen in tho tinted wa
ter boforo putting In tho lace, for as
the wet linen is colored so will the
laco bo when It is dry.
"Boforo drying tho laco wrap it In
a piece of old cotton cloth and
squeeze hard, otherwise when It is
hung to dry tho color will bo deepest
at tho edge whero it drips. The best
way to dry it, however, is to pin it
flat on an old counterpane and lay it
on a table, so that it may be smooth
ed by hand from time to time."
Marshmallow Mousse.
PresB four fresh peaches or eight
canned halves freo from syrup
through a sieve; cut 18 marshmallows
in tiny bits. Soak a tablespoontul of
granulated gelatin in cold water,
stand over hot water until dissolved.
Add it, with four tablespoonfuls ot
powdered sugar, to one cupful of rich
cream. When tho mixture begins to
thicken add tho peach pulp and cut
marshmallows, then whip steadily un
til the mixture Is light froth through
and through. Turn into a mold with
a tightly fitting cover, blnJ the edge
with.a strip of muslin .dipped In melt
ed Jterdand bury In ice and aalt for
three or four hours..
