The United States will not deposit a dollar in a

furnishes a bond for twice the amount deposited.
The United States Government can at any time
make-an investigation of any National Bank and learn
all about its resources. But still the Government de

Danger In Paiturinf Cattle
In Fields Of Standing Stalks
Farmers in the corn belt have at
various periods experienced loss of
cattle pastured on .standing cornstalks
after the corn has been harvested in
the autumn.
An element of mystery has surround
ed the death of cattle In these in
fctauces. The disease is characterized
by a very rapid course. In fact, very
commonly there are no premonitory
symptoms, and it is not nnusual for
the owner upon visiting the field in
the morning to find one or more fat
cattle dead which on the previous
evening were apparently in excellent
health.
Another peculiarity of the disease is
N that losses may occur on one farm or
In one field, while cattle on an adjoin.
Jng farm or in an adjacent field may
be free from the affection.
Various investigators in the past
tiave attempted to discover some germ
or organism or some toxics substance
which might be determined as .the
cause of tola condition, bujt thus ftr
the cause of the disease has not been
established.
Asdeath of stock from this affection
is generally sudden and there is little
opportunity for treatment-, animals
should not be turned into a field with
standing stalks.
as a matter ox xact the disease may
be actually prevented by cutting the
stalks early and only feeding them
after they cave been carefully onred
and removed from the field. Losses
from feeding on standing cornstalks
emphasize the economic value of cut
ting the corn and feeding the stalks in
the barnyard or corral, or better still,
shredding the dry stalks, in which
condition they may bo fed with the
least possible waste. ,
The so-called cornstalk disease
should not be confused with poisoning
from eating sorghum. Deaths among
stock from eating sorghum have been
traced to prusslo acid poisoning, which
poison the sorghum under certain con
dltlons of growth has been found to
contain In combination.
We would not go so far as to sy
that the Farmers' Institutes that have
been held in this city for several ycais
past are alone responsible for the in
creased yields in farm products, or for
the better grade of cattle and horses
that arc to be found in this locality,
but we will nay that these institutes
have been the main stimulus for hotter
farming methods. At first thore was
some good natured joking nbout the
"paper collar" farmers but that has all
passed because we all have learned
that the men who come from our agri
cultural school always have something
of importance to Hive in. The state
of Xelinmlui conducts and tnaititiiins

state support this farm The farm is
for tlio fanners. Experiments are
conducted here on a larger scale than
it 1m possible for any single farmer to
attempt

our agricultural activities. Anything
that tends to better our farming oper
ations should be welcome with open
arm; .Every tanner wuo wuiui iu

horses and hogs should by all means
attend thlfa Institute. Wo look for a

William Arnold Passed
Away In Oklahoma
The old settlers of this county will
learn with regret of the death of Will
iam Arnold, who spent twenty years of
his early manhood in this county.
Mr. Arnold came to this county In
1870, and located in the northern part
of Elm Creek township. He was pre
ceded by his father Oscar Arnold and
his brother Thad, the younger brother
Charles, was then but n boy, living
with his father.
William was the eldest of a large
family, all of whom made their homes
for some time in this or Adams Coun
ty. Samuel and John and Mrs. Mc
Clary lived in the south part of Adams
County. Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Norrls,
and Mrs. Johnson and Thad and
Charles Arnold were all well known
to most of the settlers in the east half
of the county.
William Arnold was a man except
ionally qualified to make and retain
friends. Genial, frank of speech free
of thought, Industrious, honorable and
hospitable, he 'was a man that easily
won the affection and respect of those
with whom be came in contact.
He left this vicinity for Oklahoma
nineteen years ago, where he has made
his home ever since. His eldest son,
Frank Is one of the lucky person to
have an oil deposit In bis lands and
enjoys a rental of f 1000 a month from
the aame.
A younger son, Fred, la a resident of
this county, and was the democratic
nominee for treasurer, at the last
election, but, In the interest of fusion,
surrendered his place on the ticket to
the populist candidate.
Mr. Arnold left surviving him, bis
wife and seven children Frank, Fred,
Eugene, Dallas, Hattle, Illanohe and
Ora, each of them unusually qualified
for useful service to society.
His brother Charles, now the only
one of the old Arnold family left In
this county, and who still occupies the
old Oscar Arnold homestead attended
the funeral.
A cousin of the deceased is the wife
of Vaughn Hall, of Bladen.
Crop Rotation A Preventive
Against Corn Rootworm
"An abundance of the corn bottles
in a cornfield should be a distinct
warning that the field should not be
planted to corn the following year,
but that it should be devoted to wheat,
oats, barley, ryo, or to any crop other
than corn,'' is the advice of the Depart
tuent of Agriculture to western corn
planters.
The advice is contuined in llullctin
No. 8, which in dealing with the west
ern corn rootworm, one of the most
destructive pests of the cornfield, ad
vises crop rotation as a means of
eradicating the worm. It is stated
that not since the insect was discover
ed has there been a cute on record
where corn bus been iujiiied when
giuwn on laud phuited the .scanu be
fore to such .-mull g i'h in crops as when',
rye, barley, or oats.

The adult beetle (the parent of the
worm) ii about the hm of the striped

coiur and black eyes. It is most llltc y
to be observed fiu ting among the silk
ot the c:r or on the pollen of the corn
during late August and September, al
though they frequently enter farm
houses at night, being attracted by
the lamplight.
The department has boon engaged
in investigations looking to the eradi
cation and control of the corn beetle.
Recently It made investigation!) on a
4, COO acre farm In Dekalb County, III.

rotation was not systematically prac
ticed, and tho damage dono by the pest
was not only general but serious.

MoArthur autoed up to Upland Tues
day evening where they attended an
Odd Fellow meeting. At supper time
a banquet was served to which every
body did justice too, and our members
say It was the biggest and best ban
quet that they erer set down too and
report the Uplaud ladles as splendid
cooks. After supper a program was
given In the opera house to which
the general public was invited and
the house was seated to its full caps
city. Grand Marshal Dan Garber,
Fast Grand Patriarch E. H. Newhouse,
Grand Master Johns and Congressman
Silas Barton were the principal speak
ers of the evening and they all made
good talks on Odd Fellowship and the
people enjoyed their, addresses very
much. A male quartet from that city
furnished the singing and some of tho
young ladies played a.few piano solos
11 of which were enjoyed by all. The
lodge at that place purchased a two
atory building and lots this summer
and have conveyed it Into a nice cozy
lodge room. They have completed re
pairing the building and have it nicely
furnished on the Inside. The lodge
room was opened up this week and the
building will be dedicated at their an
nual Odd Fellow picnic which will be
held there next Juue. Our membors
claim that they had the best time of
their lives up there and say that the
people were loyal eutcrlalnera.

But cut glass is bought mainly
for its beauty anyway and
you can't get beauty without
paying for it.
But that needn't frighten any
lover of cut glass away from
our store.
To tell you that ours is moder
ately priced, doesn't explain
anything for you,
To tell you that we have just
opened a new, clean stock does
nbt let you know the beauty of
oiir glass, nor can you appre
ciate the beauty of our new

So wo guess you'll just have to

Combatting Fakers
Secretary W. R. Mellor of the state
board of agriculture is planning a cam
palgn to advertise the crop yields of
the state for 1013. A number of "stor'
ies" have been sent to eastern news
papers, heralding widespread ruin and
destruction. As a matter of fact the
true reports are extremely creditable
to Nebraska's resources. So glaring
have been 6orae of the reports that a
number of advertising agenoies had
planned to cancel their Nebraska ap
propriations. Cruel Predictions Fulfilled.
The mother of Nero, when warned
by soothsayers' that her son would
become emperor and then put her to
death, would not believe it; yet both
vents came to pass,, for after deprlv
tag her of all her honor and powef he
was terrified by the menaces she atade
and her high spirit and sesnssssX
that she be 'killed. x y;-: J
