Agricultural College, Lincoln.
March 30.—Local leader* of boy* and
girl* dub* of th# agricultural exten
sion service and the atate champion
dairy judging team of club work will
receive the aarne encouragement of
*700 In prize trip* for 1924 work of
fered by tli* Omaha National bank
through Walter W. Head, it* presi
dent. as they received In 192S. It ha*
been announced here.
Three hundred dollar* of thl*
money will be offered to the *tate
champion dairy Judging team at the
Nebraska state fair to help defray
their expenses to the national judg
ing contest at the National Dairy

the national show at Syracuse, N. Y.,
last October.
Prize trips worth *25 each to the
annual club week at Lincoln are of
fered again to the local leaders who
train the state champion demonstra
tion teams In each of the four divi
sions of club work, the animal, crops,
home economics, and rope and farm

club congress at Chicago In Decem
ber Is offered to the best local leader
in Douglas county and another prize
trip of *25 is offered to the second
best leader and one member of this
flub in Douglas county.
Good Leader a Problem.
Mr. Head feels that the problem of
obtaining a good local leader la the
greatest one confronting the club
work with the boys and girls of' the
state. His encouragement with these
trips will make It possible for the
state extension agents to gather
enough of these local leaders together
in Lincoln at the time of the annual
c lub week to make It worth while to
offer a short course in club leader
ship.
The 11 winners of the 1923 prizes
will attend the coming club week in
June of this year and the first of
these local leaders short courses ever
given. Miss Mary Way of Dakota
City receives the trip for training the
best demonstration team in the home
economics division. Mrs. J. J. Donahue
of Inland cornea to club week for
training the best animal demonstra
tion team. G. A. Speidel of Waverly
gets the trip for the best crops demon
stration and Earl Nelson of Weston
comes in for winning the farm ac
counts and rope division of the state
fair competition.
Miss Way’s team represented Ne
braska at the Interstate fair at Sioux
City and won second there in com
petition with the state champion
home economics teams from 13 other
central western states. Mrs. Dona
hue's boys, 10 to 12 yearb old, won
third at the same contest among the
livestock and crops demonstrations
where 13 other states competed.
To Select Dairy Heads.
The seven other local leaders of
dairy calf clubs that are entitled, to
the trip to club week for their 1923
work have not been chosen as yet
but they will all lie at the training
school. Dairy calf club leadership
may lie a three-year job with the same
club since this project Is so planned
that the boys or girls take a calf and
raise it to maturity and keep it
through the first freshening period.
One of the conditions under which a j
leader may win the trip is that he or
she be a local leader again the suc
ceeding year. In this way. It is hoped
that the local leadership of boys and
girls clubs may be Improved.
God of Theology
Fails to Satisfy
Orthodox View Stultifies Con
science. Says Unitarian
Pastor.
"As a rule people who are sensa
tive of conscience and thoughtful of
mind do not find the orthodox Idea
of God to be satisfying," declared
Ralph E. Bailey In preaching
at the First Unitarian church Sunday
, morning. His address was the third
i of a series of sermons on ths sub
ject: ‘‘The Good News of liberal
Christianity.”
Contending that the traditional
doctrine of God ie Inadequate In the
light of modern learning, and that
the Interpretation Jeeus taught con
cerning God meets the demands of
the human mind and conscience In
every way, Mr. BaJley said:
"Many who hold the traditional
view of God fall by a great deal to
find complete satisfaction In the view.
Their sense of the suthorlty of the
Bible Ie such that they feel they must
believe in the God of theology and
the creeds, but their thought of deity
lias logical Implications and conse
quences that they would like to be
able to escape. ,
"It Is small wonder that the faith
does not always satisfy Its believers,
for In It there Is more of darkness
than of light, more of evil than of
good. Whether the orthodox thought
of God be true or not true, It Is, for
us In our present age. In many ways
an unfortunate belief.
“For. this orthodox .view of Oml
stultifies our conscience. Our moral
sense cannot accept it as enlighten
ing or reassuring. Whatever may be
the causes of the fact, we have cer
tain moral convictions which we hold
wltfi confidence, and many of the
deepest of these convictions are either
weakened or denied by the doctrine
of God which orthodoxy would have
uy hold.
“Recording to Jesuy, God does not
require of men the acceptance of any
cre^d or membership in any church.
The' Nnzarene taught that God holds
•ach person responsible for his own
Sinl and his own character, and thatj
»
j there can be no vicarious atonement
lor Imputed rtithteoiienee*. Christ In
eluted that goodness and mercy and
justice and truth are the character
istics that God approve* on the part
of human life. That Clod In as Jesus

ing to this generation that has so
numerously ntmndnned the religion of
Christ."
Corn Belt Farm
Work Backward
Corn of Low Germination
Test. Says A. E. Anderson
of Federal Department
Lincoln, March SO.—Farm work Is
backward In the corn belt states. This
Is the assertion of A. E. Anderson,
head of the bureau of crops and live
stock estimates of the United State*
Department of Agriculture, In a state
ment made public here.
According to the federal statisti
cian winter wheat^was damaged by
alternate freezing and thawing, #and
Hessian fly threatens damage to some
of the western corn dielt states.
"Corn," says the statement, "Is of
low germination test. Clover and al
falfa winter-killed In some of the
eastern states.”
The Hessian fly threatens mainly
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, the
report continues.
Cold weather and excess moisture
have delayed preparation of ground
and seeding of oats, eays the statisti
cian In support of the assertion that
farm work is backward. There has
been severe damage to winter oats
In some of the southern states.
Poultry and egg production has In
creased greatly, the report concludes.
and In some areas there la some fear
that it may be overdone."
In reporting farm land values, the
estimates bureau head declared that
values declined very little during the
last year, indicating that the heavy
dbop since 1920 has been checked.
“Cash rents are unchanged," the re
port states.
Supply and demand for labor are
about equal, says the report.
In a statement of comparison of the
Nebraska and Argentiife, South
America corn crops, the statistician's
figures show that last year Nebraska
produeted 272,052,000 bushels of corn
while the South American country
produced 153,000,000 bushels. Ac
cording to a survey of planting inten
tions in Nebraska, the statement says,
Nebraska will have about the same
quantity of corn as Argentina this
year.
CLAY COUNTY HAS
PURE SEED PROJECT
Clay Center, Neb., March 30.—On
24 ClOy county farms this year will
be planted 275 acres of kafir, in a
pure seed raising project encouraged
by the county farm bureau. Prac
tically the Rgme acreage of milo maise
will be planted, according to County
Agent Joe Clabaugh. No definite
acreage has been set for milos, as
there is plenty of good seed available.
The kafir seed will be imported
from certified stock in Kansas. The
acreage is being sown this year as
the result of variety tests conducted
in the county last year, which showed
that both these varieties had a higher
yield than corn in the county in 1923.
At least two variety tests will be run
this year as a check.
According to these tests, the Dawn
variety of kafir yielded the highest
amount of seed. 80 bushels to the
acre, and was second in tonnage of
forage with a dry weight, minus the
grain, of five and one-half tons per
acre. This variety was also early in
maturing.
Advantages for
New Settlers on
Virgin S. I). Soil
30,000,000 Arrcs »f Arable
band Awaiting Immigrants
to State. State Of
ficials Maintain.
By AMorlatnl Mr*.
Pierre, 8. !>., March SO.—Few stales
cffer prospects for the new settler
which In any degree approximate
those In South Dakota, according to
a statement prepared by the Depart
ment of Immigration showing that on
the basis of comparative expenditures
this state Is in*a favored position to
profit from settlement work.
‘‘8outh Dakota has 2,700,000 acres
of state-owned land, lying in nearly
every county of the state and repre
senting sn aggrekate value of
$54,000,000,” the statement said.
‘ Nearly five-twelfths of It In area
and more than two thirds In value
lies west of the Missouri river.
"If advertising can add 1 per cent
to the value of this state-owned
land in 20 years, the entire cost of
the immigration department will he
returned. This, however, is merely
incidental to the securing of new set
tlers to develop the vast total of
30,000,(100 acres of arable land in.the
state as yet untouched by the break
ing plow.”
The statement recalled that new
lands in the adjacent states of Minne
sota, Wisconsin and Michigan are
mainly cut-over forest lands, requir
ing many years to transform Into
farms, while the new lands of South
Dakota are open, rich prairie, ready
for the plow. It presented figures
of expenditure fo^ immigration work
in varous states. i
"South Dakota appropriated last
year $21,400 for the use-of the De
partment of Immigration," the state
ment said. "Minnesota appropriated
if 8,000 for immigration and in addi
tion benefits settlers largely through
its agricultural department. Wiscon
sin spent $23,000 In this work, Colo
rado, $21,150, and California epproxi
mately $125,000.
"In Maryland, an appropriation of
$20,<yi0 annually is expended in draw
ing settlers to only four counties,
while the states of Washington, Mich
igan and New Torik each further set
tlement work through their depart
ments of agriculture, which are given
average total funds of $500,000.”
The statement likened the need for
settlement work In South Dakota to
that existing In many parts of the
Dominion of Canada, where. It said,
a total of $3,320,190 was appropriated
for various phases of immigration
work in 1923. *

\ Newcastle, Neb., March 30.—Miss
Hazel Sullivan of T^ttirel has the dis
tinction of being the first woman in
Cedar county to apply for a leap
year license, but it was a hunting
and fishing license. It being leap

counted their suspicions as It was
found that Miss Sullivan has secured
a hunting and fishing license every

WARNED IN IOWA
Ilf AsMwIsted Trrmm.
lies Moines, la., March 80.—A gen
ernl warning to all dealers In egg*
was leaned today by Secretary of Ag
rlculture R. V. Caasndy. The warn
ing nlnn applies to poultry men and
all others who handle eggs In any
stage from the henhouBe to the con
sumer, Mr. I'assady stated.
The state agricultural secretary’s
warning included the following:
"It is unlawful for the farmer to
sell nr offer for sale bad or heated
epgs to his patrons or to jobbers.
"It is equally unlawful for mer
chants to offer such eggs to jiatrons
or jobbers.
The state agricultural department
requires dealers to candle all eggs
bought or sold.
“Poultrymen have no cause for
complaint if merchants refuse to buy
eggs without candling. Such refusal
protects both merchant and raiser."
Hav Prices Rise;
Demand Grows
Snow and Cold Weallier Aids
Tone of Market—Eastern
Receipts Larger.
IJncoln, March SO.—A continued
firmnefs in the hay markets of the
country is reported by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
its review of the week of March 17
12. made public here.
The report states that receipts of
hay in eastern markets were some
what larger during the week, but
fell off in the central west because of
storms and bad roads.
“The increased demand In practical
ly all markets caused by the snow
and cold weather," says the report,
“advanqpd prices on the best grades.
Because of the scarcity and higher
prices of the top grades, lower grades
were firmer and moved more freely
than for some weeks. Clover mixed
hay also moved freely in the absence
of good timothy.”
The report follows in pert:.
"The small movement of hay from
the alfalfa producing areas to mar
kets west of the Mississippi river ad
vanced prices on these classes of hay.
This advance was caused by the de
creased receipts prUfcipally, rather
than any material Increase in de
mand. There was a good demand
for alfalfa at Kansas City ffom the
south, but the feeding trade In the
surrounding territory bought rather
sparingly. The demand at Omaha
was somewhat better because of the
bad weather that prevailed in that
territory.
There vai a good demand for the
beet grades of prairie at practically
all markets and prices remained firm.
Tha stockyards at Kansas City were
again in the market after being In
active for a few weeks. On March 1
there were 3.000,000 tons less hay on
farms than at the corresponding time
a year ago. This shortage was prac
tically all In the tlmotliy growing
states.
Baaed upon reports from a large
number of farmers, an Increase of
4 per cent la Intended In the acreage
of tame hay that will be harvested
this year, only a few states showing
decreases in planting intentions. The
prospective increase Is 3 per cent In
the eastern states, 5 per cent In the
south Atlantic and east north central,
6 per cent in the west central and 8
per cent In the south central state*.
Fourth Wool Pool
Nets Gain of $630
Huron, S. D., March 30.—The busi
ness management of the 1923 wool
pool of the South Dakota Sheep and
Wool Growers' association, the larg
est of the four annual pools tha as
sociation has handled, was conducted
at a net gain of 1*30. according to the
report of M. R. Benedict, secretary
treasurer, resd st the annual meeting
of the association hsra today. The
pool marketed 1,520,000 pounds of
wool contributed by 535 shippers, the
report Bald.
According to Mr. Benedict's rsport.
the growth In membership over thst
of the previous year, which was 820,
and the fact that triple the amount of
wool was handled than In 1922, are
indications compared with tbs chang
ing fortunes of ths venturs In Its
first two years,'that ths association
ia now moving forward on a perma
nent basis. —
As an Incident to the report, Mr.
Benedict said that approximately
12,000 worth of woolen goods were
placed In the hands of growers on
a barter basis through the hands of
the association.

Co-0|>eration of
Farmer Need of
Livestock Men
Must Stand Together to
Achieve Success. Says Pres
ident of Wool Grow
ers’ Association.
By AuifUlwl I’ rfii
Huron, 8. D., March 30.—Farmers
and live atock men have common In
t**reata and muat atand together or
they will never achieve aucceaa in a
world in which every other claaa haa
become a unit, J. O, Rogers of Mid
land, 8. D., president of the South
Dakota Sheep and Wool Growers as
sociation, told members of this or
ganization here.
Mr. Rogers declared the need of
unified effort to be imperative.
Speaking of "the cry that comes from
every quarter to diversify,” he point
ed out that while this plan haa much
in its favor it also has its disadvant
ages. Specialized production, rather,
U the ideal way to conduct the farm
ing and live stock raising Interest of
the country, he said.
"In some states where farmers and
wool growers are Intermingled the
two Interests are conducted In co-op
eration,” Mr. Rogers continued in sup
port his plea for unity. "In other
states where a great deal of the
sheep business ia carried on as a spe
cial line the wool interests feel that
their needs are not identical with
those of the farmer.
“However this may be, we must
not forget that Ideal co-operation de
mands that wool men must work In
harmony with all other farming and
livestock Interests.”
Must Hold Down Supply.
The speaker maintained that the
truth of his contention has been
amply demonstrated in results ob
tained by the American Federation of
Labor, with Its diverse faetlbn, and
machinery, lumber and coal produc
ing interests. He referred his hear
era to the fact that success of the
coal operators lay In holding down
the supply of mined coal to a point
where It was never sufficient to flood
the market.
"This Is the only way that farm
ers and stockmen will ever have any
thing to say about the selling price
of their product,” he continued.
"They must hold control of It until
it is needed by the consumer and
then furnish It only in such quanti
ties as the trade demands.
They will be objects of specula
tion and profiteering Just as long as
they continue to deliver their prod
uct In excess of market demands.
The plan of regulating production
may help, but It is not a panacea
for all of our ills. We must learn
to conserve our Veoduct.”
Control Selling Agency.
Mr. Rogers emphasized the need
for co operative marketing enter
prises to control the selling agency.
There must be money and facilities
enough to handle and hold the pro
duct until an expedient time to sell,
he said and declared that such an
organization must Include the whole
country If it Is to gain maximum
tesults. t’ntll It reaches these pro
portions there will continue to be
competition Instead of protection of
mutual interests, he said.
Speaking in opposition to too
sweeping an application of the bene
fits of diversified farming, the speaker
pointed to the necessity for a wide
knowledge, endless variety of tools
and farm help under this plan. If di
versified farming is carried on with
out help It la impossible to mitke
much more than expenses, he said.
"Specialized production, on the
other hand, does not require such a
variety of knowledge and equipment
and gives greater opportunity for
leisure on the farm,” he continued.
"Furthermore, each Individual la nat
urally best adapted to one line and
each locality Is best adapted to cer
tain products. I>et each produce that
for which It Is best fitted.”

Unity in Church
l rged by Smith
Congregational Pastor Sug
gests Declaration of Faith
for United Church.'
Dr: Frank G. Smith, pastor of First
Central Congregational church, gave
the fourth of his Sunday evening se
ries of lectures on "The Faith of a
Modernist," Sunday night. The spe
cial theme was: "What a Modernist
Believes About the Holy Catholic
Church and the Holy Spirit."
*Dr. Smith said he was not sur
prised to learn in various ways that
many people thought he was going
to talk about the Roman Catholic
church. He said that was an lnter
tlng subject, but It was not his pur
pose any more than it was to talk
about the Baptists or the Methodists
or the Presbyterians. He called at
tentiAi to the fact that catholic
means, general, universal, and that
every Protestant church that repeats
the “Apostles' Creed" expresses faith
in the Holy Catholic church.
While he was on that phase of the
subject, however, the speakr paid his
respects to certain individuals and in
stitutions Who seemed to feel that
the only way they could express
their religious fervor was by fighting
the Roman Catholics. The speaker
said he held no brief for Roman
Catholicism, but he did honor them
for their fidelity and loyalty to the
teachings and requirements of the in
stutlon. He said as a rule the people
who were shouting the loudest about
the Roman Catholics were Protest
ants, so-called, who had no vital con
nection with any Protestant church
and took no part In its program of
work. He said the need of all re
ligions today was for more reality
and less formality, more brotherhood
and less bickering: more practice and
less theory; more light and love and
sympathy and fellowshinp and less
controversy: more of a determination
to love truth and still be charitable,
to loathe wrong and yet lie guiltless
of Injury, Injustice or malice.
Dr. 'Smith said he believed the
cause of Christ was suffering great
loss by lack of unity, actual organic
unity, among his followers; he be
lieved this was wrortg afjd unneces
sary; that an expression of faith and
a program of organization could be
worked out that would be simple
enough and yet comprehensive enough
to include all who love Jesus Christ
and want to catch and incarnate hts
spirit and manifest it in the world.
He even went so far as to suggest
a declaration of faith for a United
Christian church. The following is
nis MJffKeation:
In uniting with this church I espres*
my falih in Ood. a supreme, spiritual
being, who In holy love create* and con
tinuously sustains all things, and who is
the loving spiritual father of every hu
man being I believe(tha t Ho has a vray
He wants me to live and that peace, satis
faction and fullness of life will come to
me only as I find Hi* way and walk in
it. and i:now Hi? will and do It. I be
lieve that God has fully revealed the
kind of life He wants u* all to live In
tne life and words »nd deed* of Jesu*
Christ. It in therefore my greatest de
atre and determination to follow Him: to
increasingly know Him and to catch and
incarnate His spirit and manifest it every
day in all my relationship* with all the
world. That I may be helped and blessed
in^the accomplishment of this purpose
InBhiy own Ufa and that I may help to
bring the benediction of such and under
standing nf the Origin and the purpose of
life to alt mankind. I heartily and gladly
enter Into tie fellowship. service and
work of this church with the understand
ing that thla simple statement of faith
and purpose shall be the sole test of
fellowship and that all elaa necessary to
the prosecution of the work of the church
as to organisation, forma, ceremonies,
politics and policies be determined by the
rotes and vote of the people who con
stitute the organisation through such
delegated authority and machinery as
thev have set up and established.
The next lecture in this series will
bs on the subject: "What a Modernist
Believes About Sin. Salvation, and
Kternal L4fie."

Spring Vlork to
Start in April
North Dakota Farmer# Will
Gel Intler Way With
Large Acreage Plowed.
\ ■■ ■ •
Sioux Falls, H. P, March JO —
Spring work in North Dakota, should
be In general progress by the sec
ond week In April, according to a re
port of the 1S24 outlook in that state,
received here from the federal divis
ion of crop end livestock estimates
at Grand Forks.
Present activities are largely con
fined to those of repairing farm ma
chinery and equipment and cleaning
of seed together with some late haul
ing of last year's crops, the report
stated. For these activities weather
and road conditions have been fa
vorable.
As affecting spring work the
amount of spring plowing accom
plished last fall will he a favorable
factor over the eustern third of the
state where the bulk of spring’ seed
ing goes on In this tillage practic?.
Fifty-five per cent of all farm lands
were estimated to have been plowed
last fall, compared to 41 per cent In
1922, according to the report.
Further expansion In the hog in
dustry is anticipated by the report,
going hand In hand with the Intended
curtailment of spring wheat acreage
and the increase in acreage of feed
grains and com. Cattle have win
tered well with less than average
winter shrinkage and lighter winter
losses. An adequate supply of labor
is anticipated

The Way Mr*. Bird and Madge
Fooled the Trailer*
Mrs. Bird sat on the other side of
the fireplace for two or three minutes
after we had come In from the boat
house. Then, after a shrewd glance
at me, she rose and went to the
door.
■'You'll be better off by yourself,"
she said, "and no one will come near
this room. AValk up and down If
you want to. That's my own recipe
for letting off steam, and I suspect
that It's yours also. I'll let you know
as soon as John comes back."
She closed the door behind her.
and no sooner had It shut than I
Sprang to my feet and began the
swift ranging up and down the room
which, as she had guessed, was my
habitual outlet for extreme nervous
ness. »
But the swift motion could not ban
ish the question beating against my
frain.
Had Lillian succeeded in spiriting
away the Harrison children, or ^as
the smaller boat—Griffin's. Mrs. Bird
had named it—trailing them relent
lessly?
Over and over again the query re
lentlessly pressed, and I raged at
my own Impotence. If I only could
be doing something to aid them. It
seemed like a direct answer to prayer
when Mrs. Bird again entered the
room.
"Now you'll have a chance to do
something yourself," she said. “John
reports that those auto* are still
guarding both street* leading out of
here. He will take my car and go
down the back road and lead that
fellow a merry chase, while you and
I will go out the front way to the
avenue. I'll kneel on the back seat
and watch the trailing car. Are you
good at quick turns at some one else'*
direction? 1l doesn't matter. You’ll
have to be. tlet your wrap* on. 'V< 1
atart a» aoon an I’ve telephoned
Hhe went to the telephone, and O o
one aided conversation which I hea I
«•! crisp and short.
•'Caroline? Yea. All right. Op< rt
your front gate* right away, and l-e
ready to clone them a* aoon an I
get In. Ooodby.” 1
She turned to me, and gave me -'ini
approving nod a* she saw that I
wan fully ready for her expedition.
She heraelf wan hatted and cloake t,
but instead of going down to tho
basement and taking the secret tuns
nel to the garage, she ojiened the
back door with no attempt at quiet,
and led the way through the yard
to the garage.
•'We don't mind a little publicity
on this stunt,” she said. “New- run
your car out, then turn and ba> <
into that court enclosed by the hedge,
the entrance to the basement.”
I obeyed her and she waited fop
several minutes, busying herself wit ft
seeing that the curtains were all
! tightly fastened down. I Intensely
dislike a curtain next to my wheel,
but of course I made no objection
when Mrs. Bird asked that it be put
on.
"There,” she said triumphantly at
lakt. "Nobody can guess how many
people we have in here. Now 1 'i
leave this side curtain down and run
ahead and open the gates, and you
leave this door open so I can jump
into the car and close the tloor Just
as you reach the gates. Ytai;
30 seconds before you starb Bet
ter turn to your right when you go
out. That watching car is on that
side, and If you turn toward it, the
driver will have to turn around be.
fore he can take up the trail.'
She was gone on the last word,
running lightly around the driveway.
I waited the second she had named,
and then drove cautiously out of the «
court and around the winding drUe
to the open front gates. Just tyfoie
I reached It, lijttle Mrs. Bird jumped
upon the running board and with
the agility and recklessness of-a
young boy. swung herself Into the
seat behind me and closed the door.
"They've swallowed the bait,"' she
exclaimed geefully as she buttoned
the curtain over the door she had
just used. "See. they've started the
car and are coming this way.
With a recklessness bom of ex
citement, 1 sent my car diagonally
across the street, compelling the ad
vancing car to stop abruptly. Then
with a swift turn of the wheel. I
raced off into the direction from
which the other car had come.
"Lovely: Little Mrs. Bird's voice
held an admiring note. "Quick, turn
to the left down this street."
I obeyed her and at the next cor
ner her voice rose again.
"They’re not In eight yet. Turn
to the right and I think we have
slipped them.
For a half mlie following. I turned
corner after comer at the direction
of the little woman perched upon
the seat behind me. Then as I
turned once more to the right, her
voice relaxed Its tense pitch.
"Four houses ahead of you there s
an open gate." she said. “Drive in."
As I obeyed her I heard the gates
shut behind us. At Mrs. Bird's di
rection X drove the car to a position
behind the big house where It could
not be eeen from the street and m
turned off the engine. «
“We're in the yard of s friend of
mine," Mrs. Bird explained as »i
came through the gate. "We'll wait
here for a few minutes, while I
watch the street from behind the
hedge to see whether or not we've
thrown them off."
She was out of the car before I
had stopped, and was making her
way to the hedge, while I. Bitting at
the wheel of the quiet car, waited
tensely for her report.
