Thursday May 24 , 1906. I
' 1'he United States census
shows that there were 41000
r unds of maple syrup made in
the state of Mainc in thc ycar
1899. It is probable that as
much alleg-ed "maple syrup from
Maine" was sold in Nebraska
alone that year. 'rhis is a pretty
good indication of the way this
product is adulterated , or rather
an article is made which is alleged -
leged to be pure maplc syrup.
Some of these "pure mapl" syrup"
factories ought to do a thriving
business here in Nebraska , wherc
there's so many corn cobs. which
is the chief ingredient in its
manufacture.
The continuous demand for
government land in north-west
Nebraska under the Kinkaid act
which proviles for a homestead
of 640 acres helps to emphacize
the wisdom of the Kinkaid law.
The law will prove a great benefit -
fit to many who otherwise would
never have been able to secure a
homc of their own. 'rhis law
alone , dhould guarantee to Judge
Kinkaid several terms in Con-
gress.
The railroad rate bill is finally
through -the senate and now-in
its amended form-must run the
gauntlet of the house , Perhaps
someone knows what the bill
means and what it wilt do. It is
to be hoped-however-that it
will at least put a stop to some
of the unfairness-particularly
as far as rebates are concerned-
that has existed in the past
The delegation from Nebraska
at 'Vashington seems to be "saw-
ing wood" and a tending to the
best interests of their constitu-
ents-notwithstanding what may
be aid about them by some of
the jealous citizens who cannot
control them.
And now it .is claimed thai
sensationalism in reform is caus.
ing a rapid increase in insanity.
Perhaps the country will some
time get back to the good ot < :
days when men believed tha1
, some of their neighbors at leasj
had honest intentions.
A New York physician claim !
to have discovered the germ 0 :
rheumatic fever , and now if } ) (
will only find the antidote fOJ
the germ there will be great rejoicing -
joicing in the land of the frel
and the home of the-af11icted.
Some of the ea3tern papers arl
exprcssing a doubt as to whcthel
Senator LaFollette , of Wiscon. .
sin , is a rcpublican owing to hi !
lining up so often with the demo

istic doctdnes.
A Few Dead LeUerl.
With a record of 11,000,001
pieces of mail matter mislirectel
or illegal1y addressed and tllU
thrown into the Dead Leite
Office in 1905 , the Postofiici
authorities bcheve the time ha
come for some thorough ani
widespread campaign of educ : !
tion to cnlighten the public
To this end li'ourth Assistal1
Postmaster McGraw advanced

IT IS SURPRISINC i
how easily a lawn mower pcrforms its duty after being
sharpcned on the Ideal Power harpener we recently
placed in the shop.
Wc do not use files , as do our competitors , which causc an
unevenness of the blade , but by using the IDEAL SHARPENER j' '
each blade is sharpencd evenly and alike , the bevel on the lmh'es
being kept at the same degrce all along the knife. All high and 1
low spots are taken out and any dcgree of clearance can he given j
the blade so a lawn mower will run and cut easier than when new. '
More good lawn mowers are spoiled by bunglesome sharpening ,
than by the work they do. Bri 1g 'your cranky mower to me. :
