Many Youths Enrolled.
Enrollmont In the boys' and girls'
clubs of tho agricultural extension
service of the Nebraska college of agri
culture Includos over 2,000 membera
distributed over seventy-six counties.
The enrollment by divisions Is as fol
lows: Corn club 810, potnto club 1G0,
gardening club 245, cooking nnd sew
ing club 820. Tho registration, how
ever, Is consldored only incidental by
Jthe leader In charge as compared to
the successful completion of the work.
Each month tho young people receive
(lessons to bo studied. Theso lessons
are prepared not only to aid them in
their present work, but to Inspire
,thcm to higher ideals of agriculture.
Parents and teachers are asked to en
courage tho members In tholr work
and thus make it more effective.
Want Expression of People's Will.
Shall the state board of control ex
pend -1160,000 for a state reformatory
for men sentenced to the penitentiary?
71118 is still an open question with tho
board of control. Judge Howard Ken
nedy of the board is firmly convinced
.that the board should do as the legis
lature said, expend the money appro
priated. Judge Holcomb Is, said to be
(non-committal, with a grejt leaning
Howard tho proposed reformatory.
Henry Gerdes is opposed to the estab
lishment of the reformatory at this
time. He desires the people of the
state to think It over and tell the legis
lators what they want done, then the
next legislature can express the will
of the people.
Ask Aid In Gathering Data.
Farmers who are willing to assist
In the collection of data regarding the
feeding of live stock are being sought
by the Nebraska college of agriculture.
Many experiments are conducted with
beet and other animals from year to
year, but owing to limited funds, only
small numbers, comparatively, may be
used In the experiments. As the ani
mals have to be kept in close quar
ters and are disturbed by the thou
sands of visitors annually at the farm,
the results, although accurate, are not
obtained under the more Ideal condi
tions of the home farm. The collogo
wishes to obtain widespread Informa
tion from feeders who are willing to
co-operate. This will make -possible
data from mucH larger herds than the
experiment station could maintain.
How Paroled Convict Made Good.
An example of tho opportunity
which Is open to the paroled convicts
in make good after their downfall,
(which brought them behind the
gloomy walls, was shown at the peni
tentiary recently. A man, whom the
state board of paroles and pardons se
'cured a parole for soveral years ago,
jwho now possesses 170 acres of corn,
160 acres of wheat and forty head of
'cattle, called upon the board to thank
the members for what they had done
for him.

.To insure Increased appropriations
for military purposes and legislation
favorable to the state militia, as well
'as to arrange for social conveniences
and advantages of the officers, an or
ganization to bo known as the Na
tional Guard association of Nebraska
was formed during tho recont training
camp held hero. This body will take
an active part In state politics and will
jinterest Itself In tho election of state
and local officers and members of the
legislature.
Applicants for paroles occupied the
time of tho state board of paroles
and pardons, which opened the month
ly meeting at the penitentiary last
Thursday. The enormous demand of
the1 farmers to the membora of the
board for good paroled men, caused
the members to get busy and make
some recommendations.
Considering Creamery Methods.
About "forty creamery men from
over the state met with Food Com

Lesson From the Birds.
At a recent meeting at Dresden,
Germany, of the Society for Aeronaut
ics and Aviation, Professor Conhelm
of Hamburg loctured on the problem
of balancing In the air.
Professor Conhelm drew a parallel
between birds and aeroplanes. Ho
gave a demonstration with living
doves and seagulls from which tho
cerebrum magnum had been extract
ed and showed that balance with these
birds was purely mechanical. Hav
ing been doprived of their brain, the

birds could exert no will power, and
maintained their balance simply by
reflex movements of tho head, tail
and wings.
Professor Conhelm argued from this
that it might be possible in time to
Invent automatic muchlnery which
would keep an aeroplane stable with

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.
Many cases of defective vision are)
eaused by the habitual use of coffee.
It is said that In Arabia where cof
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains tho same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
"My son was for years troubled with
bis eyes. He tried several kinds of
glasses without relief. The optician
aid there was a defect in bis eyes
which was hard to reach.
"He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
bis eyes since.
"I was always fond of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous I could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meat My heart was In such a con
dition I thought I might die at any
time.
"Medicine did not give me relief
and I was almost desperate. It was
about this time we decided to quit cot
fee and use Postum, and have used it
ever since. I am-in perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
never felt better In my life.
"Postum has been a great blessing
to us all, particularly to my son and
myself."

Pets and Broken Hearts.
Tho dog of Mistral, tho Provencal
poet, died tho day after Mistral's re
cent deatli. It is a fairly common
tiling for dogs, cats, canaries and oth-'
or pets to die a few days or oven hours
nftor tholr masters. Dut do they die
of grief? It is not likely.
A Mnnayunk physician examined
tho corpso of a canary that had suc
cumbed with Its llttlo mistress. The
canary's death, the examination
showed, was duo not to a broken heart,
but to scarlet fever, the "malady to
which Its littlo mistress' had herself
Buccumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems It Is surmised that pets, whea
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have bocome Infected with
the dlseaso that carried their owners
off measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-gricf story is pretty, but,
alas, It won't wash.

A Rare, Rare Man.
William H. Hamby, short story
writer and novelist, Is a great lover
of folks and makes friends with all
sorts and conditions of men. One day
while on an outing in the Ozarks he
got a hill billy who was something
of a character to accompany him on a
fishing excursion in order to study the
type. The two men spent the day in
the woods together and returned to
camp old friends and then Mr. Hamby
learned that he was not the only on
on the expedition who had been study
ing his companion. As they shook
hands In parting the bill billy said:
"I taken a llkln' to yuh, but yah

A contributor to the American Mag

"A clerk In one of the great Jewelry
stores on Fifth avenue In New York
City exhibited to a rich and weary
customer a lady's handbag, five Inches
square, made of platinum and fairly
well covered on one side only with
diamonds. The price was f 9,000. The
fact that one side only was covered
with diamonds troubled the customer.
Turning the handbag around and
around, and looking at it from all
sides over and over, he finally said,
'Very pretty really. But I dont like
one side without diamonds. Honestly
the thing looks skimpy rather skim
py.' At an additional expense of $7
000 this difficulty was removed."
Just as Good.
"Have you any 6-cent cigars?" asked
the man.
"No," replied the druggist, "but we
have something just as good. Hera's
a 10-cent cigar."
Hard to Please.
"Wombat says we have no really
great horoos today."
"What's the matter with him?"
"He's casting about for a name tot
a 5-cont cigar."
