TAXPAYERS TO FORM LEAGUE
The Nebraska Taxpayers' league is
plann'ng an o.ganizution to cover the
while state, the executive committee
having been in session for two days
Inst week nt the Lindell hotel to dis
cuss the matter, lays the State Jour
nal. Another meeting will bo held
in the near future. Members of the
committee are W. I. Farley, Aurora;
C. A. William", Ncligh; W. E. Patter
son, Campbell; P. W. Shea, Orleans;
Trenmor Oone, Waterloo.
Tho plan proposes lesgucs in every
little old school house, in every club
in every society of sect where people
dcs'ro to meet and discuss affn'.rs of
givcrnment, from the lowest subdiyi
lon to the highest, without "having
their c'tizenship or our sr.nity ques
tioned. "Our tax activities have outgrown
our increa c in population and our
nbil'tics t) pay most nlarm'ngly," Mr.
Patterson said Fridxy. "The remedy
is to take nn honest invoice of our
conditions without rcg:ud to our poli
tics, our creed, or social or business

that from the 'forums' the people may

"Since our schools lcquire one half
our taxes, the committee respectfully
ubmiti for discussion that the great
increase in the cost of education In
Nebraska lias been contemporaneous
with a decreased educational effi
ciency. The greater the amount
spent, the poorer seems the product
turned out. Too many graduates
turned out desp'sing the hard work,
frugality and economy of their par
ents from which nil success has pn.d,
must come.
"The committee will propose rpocif
ic amendment'' to our laws to carry
out the views of the Taxpayer'
league, but generally speaking the
changes proposed by the league are:
"Return to the old style high school
curriculum without the expensive
side lines which have a tendency to
weaken rather than strengthen mental
development.

for in educat'on.

PERFECT BAKING
With a Small Amount of Fuel
Is the Most Essential Requisite of a Range
The South Bend Malleable Range fills the bill in
every respect, and more. It is the finest looking range
built, and is made of the best materials. We would
be glad of an opportunity to convince you that what we
say is true.
We have received notice from the wholesale
houses of an increase in prices of ranges effective Janu
ary 1 st, but we will continue to sell what few ranges we
have at the same old price. -'

Hip Chief Oil & Gas Company, nn
"As I was one of the Directors of
the Big Chief Oil and Gas Company,
in the capacity of president, I feci it
my duty to give each stock-holder
the information that we now have in
regard to the well that was drilled
at Red Cloud.
"The casing nt this well is now be
ing pulled, and ta oui great amaze
ment (though we have suspected the
facts for some time) we find oil lias
tood in the well, and, as shown on
casing now pulled out, we had from
lliOO to 2000 feet of oil standing in
the well :.t some time or other, and
gas is still there in such force and
quantities that it blows the water
even now wlien being ug'tated by the
pulling of the casing, a .d by stand
ing directly over the well you get
plenty of odor of gas. As perhap.
you know, water will drown out gas
unless there is a great amount of it,
and undoubtedly there must have, been
a great f tcc to have lasted all the.c
years. I w'll not attempt to say what
amount of oil there might have been
in this well, but without doubt there
win u big strike that was shut off
by mud and water and casing. The
oil had force enough to break through
tlio mud rtnd water.
""All tho casing shows that there
was lots of oil in thin well, and, if we
only had had an experienced oil man
to look after our interests, I am very
positive that wo would have had a
good oil or ga-i woll today at JRed

SIX hundred miles of Catacombs or stone tombs were
hewn beneath the foundations of Rome. The early ,
Christians, poor and persecuted, cared more for the
Protection of their Dead than we do today. Yet, the ever
increasing use of the Norwalk Vault testifies to a revolt'
against that sodden cisternthe modern grave! Sealed
by hand, the moulded granite of the Norwalk offers
eternal protection. The greatest tribute to the Dead:
