Babies are still popular in Nebras
ka. Confidential roports made by tho
county advisory -boards of tho Salva
tion Army show that there arc more
families in Nebraska are desirous of
adopting children than there arc
children to be adopted. Tho Salvation
Army does not approve, generally, of
the adoption of infants, hut in cx
ceptlonal cases, wheto'eho tendency is
for the child to become delinquent, or
it cannot be properly supported,' the
Army acts as an intermediary in plac
ing the child in a, home where it will
receive proper moral and physical de
velopment. Fifty counties in Nebras
ka now havb o. 'medium of contact
with the state wide services of the
Salvation Army, in their local county

studies have also revealed the Neces
sity for a home" whero abandoned and

although not delinquent, ate in danger
of becoming so, and thus developing
into tax conscrvers Instead of tax

The presentations will take piece on

gion auspices throughout tho world,

hopes to make the event

est of all Armistice Days the most
impress

ticipatcd and one designed to live in
history as an epochal milestone In tno
nation's life.
It is planned that not only mem
bers of tho Legion but all ex-service
persons and the next of kin .of those
who died or lost their live- in battle,
will join their countrymen in a united
tribute to the .spirit of America and
the anniversary of the day in J01S
which marked that spirit's supreme
achievement.
"It is not with vanity hut with
wholesome pride in the triumph of our
arms in the most cruciul test of
strength in history," writes Franklin
DcOiler national commander of tho
Legion, in a letter to all department
officials urging enthusiastic participa
tion in the celebration, "that the Le
gion appeals to all Americans to make
our 1920 Armistice Day memorable
throughout the years to come. We
want it to be a tribute, above all else,
to our country and our flag and the
flags of our heroic Allies. In ai'still
higher sense, it should be a solemn,
effectionatc dedication of our lives to
the principles for which more than
100,000 of our countrymen and mil
lions of our comrades in arms made
the supreme and final sacrifice. Tho
Legion since it is 'the splendid youth
who served America because they lov
ed America,' can appropriately take
tho initiative in this movement. And
because the Legion is a true and rep
resentative cross-section of our nation
al citizenship, it is confident that
Americans generally will whole heart
edly cooperate to make the celebration
a success."

iMial. The difficulty in securing cars
for shipment is responsible for the
largo reserves.
"The corn crop is mnking great
headway. Tho month of Juno was
favorable for its cultivation and the
firlds are exceptionally free from
woods and in splendid tilth. Tho ncrc

ary estimate being 7,382,000 acres as
compared to 7,030,000 acres last year.
The condition of 85 per cent promises
a crop of 188,211,00 bu. against 18-1,-180,000
bu. last year.
"Spring wheat is estimated to bo 88
per cent of normal, which indicates a
production of 5,822,000 bu. compared
to 5.678,00 bu. last year. However,
with the presence of blnck rust the
chances arc against tho crop. The to
tal production of both spring and win
ter wheat should be 57,222,000 bu. ac
cording to the July 1 forecast against
60,075,000 bu. last year.
"Tho oat crop is promising and
with a condition of 85 per cent should
produce 65,270,000 bu. as compared to
60,962,000 bu. last year. Tho crop is
exceptionally good south of the Platte
river. North of the river the seeding
was delayed on account of too much
rain and the average condition is not
as promising. However, tho July
weather to date has been most favor
able to late oats and an improvement
may be expected in the August 1 re
port. "Tho condition of rye is 93 per cent
and promises a crop of 5,908,000 bu.

Barley is rated at 91 per cent of nor

the Nebraska lino into Dundy county
and destroyed fifteen acres of cab
"bage for one grower. No other damage
Was reported lasffrear, but this year
the bug destroyed cabbage in Fron
tier, Hooker, Custer and Valley coun
ties. So far no effective method of
fighting the pest has been found. The
