MEANS LEFT TO THE

DI8CU88 METHODS OF 8AVINQ
8TATE'8 CORN CROP
NEWS FROM STATE CAPITAL
Items of Varied Interest Gathered
from Reliable Sources
at the State
House
At a mcotlng of tho State Educa
tors' conference at Lincoln it was
voted to recommend that all schools
and colleges do all possible to nld
in tho harvesting of tho corn crop but
tho Bpcclflc method by which that was
to bo dono wns left to tho Individual
schools.
Nearly fifty representatives ot stato
educational Institutions and farmors'
organizations attended . Tho princi
ple representatlvo of tho farmers was
President Gustafson of tho Stato
Farmers' union. Chancellor Samuel
Avery, Exccutlvo Dean Carl C. Eng
berg nnd Prof. A. A. Reed of tho Uni
versity wcro present.
It was the general opinion that tho
schools could do a great deal townrd
helping with the present harvest and
that it was their duty to do so in that
thoy wero practically the only source
of Bupply of male help that was loft
slnco tho draft and enlistments. Tho
manner in which the aid should bo
givon was the principle point of dis
cussion. TMe representatives of tho farmers
woro ins favor of closing down tho
schools entirely for tho husking
period, whilo tho opinion ot tho pro
fessional educators was that tho most
sorvico could bo rendered tho coun
try by continuing their regular work
and providing for some plan of se
lective conscription so that only thoso
men who would really help would be
sent out.
Chancellor Avery took tho chair for
tho yote and Stato-Suporlntendent W.
H. Clemmons acted as secretary. Tho
movement for complete dismissal was
lost before that of leaving tho method
of rendering aid to each school. The
conferenco voted that steps would bo
taken to see what holidays might be
omitted this year with a view toward
letting students out earlier In tho
spring.
Navy Bean Crop a Disappointment
Nebraska's bean crop is going to
disappoint a largo number of No
braska farmers because the wrong
seed was sold in many sections of
the state, according to information
reaching Lincoln.
In pursuance to a request from the
federal food authorities, tho largest
acreage in the history of the stato
was dovoted to beanB this year and
it was confidently expected that sev
eral hundred thousand bushels would
be raised.
Now it develops that large amounts
of southern navy beans wero Import
ed last May and June for seed and
tho variety is totally unndapted to
Nebraska soil. The southern navy
bean, it is Bald, requires a much
longer season than Nebraska affords.
Frosts comiqg early in October
nipped hundreds of acres of beans
in western Nebraska, it is reported,
beforo the vino had reached maturity,
and in many instances just after tho
podding stage.
Navy Wants Young Men
Several branches of work aro open
to young men between 21 and 35 years
of age, who wish to enlist in tho em
ployment of Undo Sam, among them
aviation and motorboat service. The
qualifications are an experience in tho
operation of gas engines and a moder
ate knowledge of wood or fabric work,
and tho physical examination is the
samo as that for apprentice seaman.
The wages to start with will be I32.G0
a month, besides food, clothing and
medical expenses. The demand for
enlistments Is unlimited, and after an
honorable discharge a man will have
no trouble in obtaining capital to start
in business for himself.
A report has been made to the
chief game warden's office by a
representative of the state health
department who had been at Norfolk,
that waste water from tho North
western railroad roundhouse runs Into
the Elkhorn river and that fish taken
from the stream havo an oily, taste.
People at Norfolk aro complaining
of this. They attribute tho taste to
oil from tho engines which gets Into
the water.
Attorney General Reod has rulod
that nobody but the person who signs
a conveyance ot real estate can be
penalized under tho new Nebraska
law making It a misdemeanor to stato
other than the nctual consideration In
the deed, mortgage or other Instru
ment of transfer. Tho law which the
last legislature passed provides the
grantor of real estato may be fined
in any sum from $100 to $500 for falsi
fying the consideration received for
tho property. It does not cover trans
actions under $100.

Find Leak at Pen Water Plant
A leaking water pipe at tho peniten
tiary was discovered and a measure
ment showed that it was wasting forty
two gallons a minute or 60,480 gallons
a day. The pipe was underground and
Its discovery was by accident. It may
have beon In this condition for years.
The wasted water was running Into an
old well bored In sandy ground which
apparently absorbed tho waste to such
an extent that there was no overflow.
The leak was shut off and Warden
Fonton reported to tho board of con
trol that tho saving had enabled him
to shut off pumping from ono of the
prison wells.

Thero Is a bare possibility that tho
university will close on May 1. At
tho- meeting of tho school men it was
recommended that every school Inves
tigate conditions In Us own locality,
and take such action as it saw fit. Uni
versity authorities aro considering tho
matter, and It Itbecomes evident that
the sowing ot the spring crops will be
facilitated by the dismissal ot uni

will be dismissed. It such a course
Is adopted, It Is probable that school
will bo held on Saturdays, and that
thero will bo no spring vacation.

HOW HE SAW THE BALL GAME

Kettle to Grounds to Prevent
Repetition of J n juries.
"I nm a cautious man," snld Mr

a dry goods box and n brass kettle.
"I camo out hero to see a match three
weeks ngo," tho old man explained,
"nnd during tho gnrae n red-hot ball,
right from tho bat, struck .mo like a
cannon shot between the eyes, bent
my spectacles down, broke both glass
es, disarranged my idens, obstructed
my view of tho game nnd knocked mo
down. Then tho catcher and short
stop ran together and stood on me,
and jumped to catch tho ball, nnd
when they enrae down they both
kicked me for getting In the way and
making them miss the ball. And now
I have brought along this dry goods
box to elt In nnd this brass kettlo to'
wear on my head."
And, placidly, safely, but a little
warm withal, he buw the ginmo clear
through. Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
