Called Home
Urandma Rife died in Beatrice on
"Sunday evening.
The body of Mr. Rife waa brought
to this city, from lieatrice, Monday
night for interment beside her hus
bnd. Her death was the end of a
long sickness, during which all that
medical and surgical science could do,
waa done. For nearly twenty years
'.Mrs. Rife lias been known to the
people of this city, espeolally to the
Members and attendant of the H. E.
'church of this place, of which, during
her health, she was one of the most

trusted and loved She 'reared her
own monument while she lived In the
Pearls of all who knew her. - Her life
vras completed if work all done and
well done constitutes completion. Her
'Christian life was beautiful from its
beginning' to its close, and through all
he vicissitudes and sorrows that she

wavered. Hut she has left us and to
day the flowers bloom upon an
other grave that hides from our sight
all that is mortal of a true nobte

Her sou, William, who was for a
uuinbcr of years engaged in business
in the city, was deservedly popular
wlth the people of this vicinity, and

Alfalfa Might Be

The following clipping from the
'State Journal will prove Interesting
treading:
Alfalfa might be queen of Nebraska
'if corn is to be king, according to the
tate board of agriculture. Kansas is
first In production and Nebraska sec
and, with all otherstates trailing along
-well In tho rear. Regarding this valu
able crop in Nebraska the department
says:
Alfalfa has become one of the sturdy
supporters of King Corn In Nebraska.
In the year 1012, according to figures
-on file with the stnto board of agri
culture, the alfalfa crop had a cash
"value of 921,188,400.
Ycbrnska is the second state in "tie
'nuVm iu production. Kansas takes
Jiirst place with an acreage of 1,000,785.
The cash value of the Kansas crop is
-estimated at $23,010,120.
Nebraska and Kansas really have no
tvivals in tho U, S. in the matter

Nebraska Wheat
In Big DemtirJ
Minneapolis millers have concluded
that they cannot get along without
Nebraska wheat and.as a result their
representatives are In Omaha closing
up a deal to take 500,000 bushels for
immediate shipment, paying the high
best market price. This is the largest
transaction in actual wheat that has
ever taken place since Omaha became
a grain market. t
The first shipment of the purchase
starts Thursday morning.- It will con
sist of seventy-five can, divided be
tween the Rock Island, the Great West
ern and the Northwestern Oihor
oars will follow as rapidly as thoy can
be loaded.
Monday the Omaha elevators con
tained 578,000 bushels of wheat and
1,000,000 bushels of oats. Minneapolis
takes practically all of the wheat and
the major portion of the oats haye
been sold for delivery south, ship
ments' going out at the rate of. fifty to

The reason for Minneapolis millers
clamoring- for Nebraska wbeat be;
cams .apparent la, few months -ago
Indications are that the demand will
always continue. Formerly all of the
flour turned out by the Minneapolis
mills was from the hard wheat fields
of Minnesota aud the Dakotas. It
wbs not satisfactory, being too
light and chaffy. It needed something
to give it more body.
There was a problem .to lbe' solved
and seeking a solution the mi Iters tried
mixing their northern wheat 'with a
softer variety. They bought wbeat
east and west, but none of it filled
the bill until they got.that from- Ne
braska. The Nebraska wheat- they
discovered was just what they want
ed, for when blended with the hard It
makes a flour that was looked uuon
as perfection itself. As a result; it 'is
contended that in the future Nebraska
wheat will always have a market at
the Minneapolis mills, where It will
