fiftieth anniversary of tho entrnnco of
Nohrnskn Into the Union.
No celebration In our history will
lu ns meraornblo ns this our Golden
Anniversary.
Coming as It docs when tho cntlro
world It engaged In n gigantic strug
gle to ascertain whether tho spirit of
democracy or tho spirit of ubsolutlsm
shall ho supreme, when our own com
monwcnlth will be called upon to do
more than any Ittco area in the world
to feed the people of tho nations, It
Is especially fitting that we should
emphasize our national responsibility
and awaken a prldo In our resource
ful state.
This Is perhaps the last great an
niversary when wo can pay tribute to
the makers of the State. Before an
other decade the territorial pioneers
will have gone. It will probably be
tho last great parade of tho veterans
of tho civil war who have had so
great a part in the upbuilding of our
commonwealth. It will bo tho last
time when the State will havo tho
opportunity to pay homage to those
heroic pioneer mothers who braved
tho vicissitudes of the border life nnd
brought forth tho flower of tho world'o
manhood nnd womanhood.

Terms of Liberty Loan
Tho act authorizing the Liberty Loan
bonds of 1917 was passed April 24, 1917.
It provides for the issuance of $3,oCO,
000,000 of nii per cent bonds, the inter
est payable semi-annually on Decem
ber 13 nnd June lr of each year. The
principal is repayable on or after tho
15th day of Juue, 1933, at the option
of the government, aud if this option
is not exercised the bonds will run full
thirty years and become due June 15
1017.
Tho bonds are exempt both as to
principal and interest from all taxation
national, state, county or municipal,
except tho inheritance tax, which is
really not u tax on the property, but
on the transfer of property by will or
Inheritance.
The bonds are to be sold at par; that
is, dollar for dollar, no premium and
no discount They are to bo sold by
tho treasurer of the United States and
by all Federal Reserve banks. But all
banks, national aud state, post ofllces,
and express companies have been des
ignated as agents of the government
to receive applications for these bonds
It is almost as easy to purchase one of
these bonds as It is to get a post ofllee
money order.
It Is not necessary to pay cash in
full for a bond. One can pay down 2
per cent of the purchase prlco on ap
plicationthat is, 91 for a 650 boud, 2

Wanted A Yoke of Oxen
Who would want a yoke of oxen In
these days of speed and agricultural
Bfflclency and prosperity?
Hero Is tho answer.
Many a yoke of tho beasts of bur
Ion of Biblical famo turned over tho
Nebraska sod in our territorial and
sarly stotehood dayB. Many a pensive
steer pondered over the prairie trails
irawlng tho prairie schooner.
In tho re-enactment of Nebraska
M.innr which will bo presented at
tho Seml-Centennlal celebration tho
beasts of burden of our forofaiher3
must re-enact their part. If tho mod
crn farmer of Nebraska cannot Bup
ply them, two wild steers from tho
stock market at Omaha will be pur
chased and trained for tho occasion.
Grasshoppers Make Merry.
Do you, Mr. Old Settler, remember
thoso gloomy days of tho early 'TO's
when you Baw your crops disappear In
a day from tho attacks of tho ravag
ing grasshoppers?
Speaking of tho great grasshopper
raids of July, 1874, A. E. Sheldon In
his book "History and Storms oijso
braska" says: "The'ro wore billions
of them In the great clouds which
darkened tho sun. Tho vibration of
tholr wingB filled tho ear with a roar
ing sound llko a rushing storm, fol
lowed by a deep hush as tbpy droppod
to tho earth and began to devour tho
crops."
Those grasshoppers (personified)
will groct you again at tho Seml-Contennlal
Celebration whoro they again
dovour tho fields In tho first act of
tho pageant "Nebraska." Here Is
their song as their ogling forms ap
pear on the stage and spread desola
tion and consternation in tholr path:
"Oatsl Corn! Rye! Wheat!
Wherever wo find them, there wa
eat;
Whcrover they grow we make our
camp,
Fill our bellies, chew and hampl
Rye! W.heat! Oats! Corn!
Green at even, gray at morn;
Croon In tho morning, gray at eve
Nr.ugbt but the dead stalks do w
leave!
Wheat! Oats! Corn! Rye!
On labor of mon wo thrive, say II
Wherever they sow 'tis ours to reap
Champ and chow whero living's
cheap!" .
