Bradford visits Ilijrh Schools Supt. II. 'E.' Bradford of tho Uni versity of Nebraska pays n visit to Webster County's 'High Schools. . His talk was "Doe Training Pay 7" He said his first object was togot acquainted' and then ho pictured the university with it's vaivous colleges giving the High School students an idea what they had to offer in higho. education and preparing themselves for n particular line of w rk. He then took up his subject and used il lustrations to gain tho point of h'. talk. One was that in Nebraska the aver age cow gr vc only 015 qitaits of milk daily. He suit! at the University "urm ti cow named LnVe na had a milk re cord of !10 qua. Is per day a year and that there was in Nebraska .150,000 milk cows and if wo could increase by selection of belter cows this aver age cows milk one-fourth, it would amount t- $0,000,000 every year. With very little more effort it could be increased one half. Mr. Bradford said that not only boys needed to train themselves, but girls also. He said that statistics of the Uidtcd States show that women spend 85 Cf of the income of tho men The iccson for this was that women were better qualified to buy the food and clothing for tho family and the furnishings for tho homo. He closed by telling the old story of the Three Stone Cutters, who were cutting stone in a farlory and a visitor happened in and after watching them chisel the stone he inquired of tho first wlu.t lie was doing? He replied, ho wrs working for Union wages; the second sad, he was cutting stone accoiding to the pattern before him and the third said lie was building a cathedral. Mr. Bradford said High School stu dents could classify thcmselvc in one of the above classes. Students in the first class weie waiting for the ! o'clock bell when they got to play and that there stu dents would ahvays Ik; working for wages. The second class were those trying to follow a pattern and never thinking ol advancing. wnuc me th'rd class were fitting blocks into the cathedral of life. . i a&jraa-'i-M && ' Mi-U.1 !rw ' '.

Last Friday was n big day in the history of Charity lodge A. F. & A. M. tho Masons enjoying a visit from both Grand Master Chappel of Mindcn and Grand Ctistodian French of Kearney. A special communication was held in the afternoon at which Howard Kaley received the degree of n Master Mason, Ids father, Past Master, A. U. Kuley taking tho Master's part in the ceremonies. In tho evening the Grand Master was formally received by the lodge, and excellent addresses which greatly pleased the craft, wore given by the Grand Master and the Grand Custodian. One special and unusual feature of the meeting was the presentation to the lodge by the Grand Master of & certificate of pro ficiency, the officers on Thursday evening and Friday having passed an examination in tho esoteric work be fore the Grand Custodian. Thifl h fl distinction possessed by few of the lodges of Nebraska at this time. Vis itors were present at tho meeting from Cowles, Rivcrlon, Guido Hock and Hastings. After lodge was clos ed refreshments wore served. AUTO LICENSE FEES , It would seem that the farmer should be the last man to favor n re duction in automobile license fees, as such a reduction would only increase the percent of taxes paid by the farm crs , At tho present time more than tiib of the taxahlc property of the state is farmer-owned. Of any fund raised by a general property tax, the farmers may be said to pay 64 Vc. The road maintenance tuntt is not so raised. Users of the road, that is, automobile owners, create this fund by the annual payment of auto license fees. The fees now provided for were established for the purpose of creating a fund deemed sufiiclent anti necessary, to adequately maintain state and county roads. All the mon ey collected from this source, after r deduction of IViVc for administra tion costs are used on roads outside of-corporatc limits. Onlv -10 of the autos of the state are farmer-owned. Hence, 60 of the maintenance fund is paid by dtv and village taxpayers and -07c by farmers. . Iteduccd prices and more efficient management may reduce the cost of maintenance slightly, but h'ghcr standards of excellence and extended road systems, county as well as state will doubtless make up the differ ence, so it is not safe to decrease iiin nmnnnt nf the maintenance fund If the auto license fee is reduced r.iu' i,nlf tlin maintenance fund must then be raised otherwise, probably by a general levy against property. Such a scheme would shift the bur den of maintenance upon farmers who own only 40 of the cars of the town and city taxpayers who own 60 of the cars would pay only 3CVr, of the maintenance fund raised by tax ation.
