If you ha\'i i'tagood book to

you " 1'he Little \Vhitc Bird" by
J. ? \ I. Barrie It is very original
and altogether . out of the orcli-
nary. YOll can get it at the H-
bran' The following is one of
its charming pieces of imagery :
. heaven : help all mothers if they
be not really clears , fur their boy
will certainly know it in that
strange short hour of the t day
whcn every mother stands revealed -
cd b' ! fore her little son. That
dread hour ticks between six and
seven when children go to bed .
later the revelation has ceased } to
come. He is In ye(1 in for the
night now and lies quietly there ,
madam , with great mysterious
eyes fixed upon his mother. lie
is sUl11ming- your clay. \oth-
ing in the revelations that kept }
you together and yet apart in
play time can save you now ; you
two arc of no age. no experience
of life separates von , it is the
boy's hour , and you have come
up for jud 11lent.
"Havc 1 done wll l today , 111) '
son ? " You have got to say it ,
and nothing may you hide from
him ; he knows a11. How like
your voice has grown to his Jut
more tremulous , are both so sol-
emn , so unlike the voice of either
of YOU by day ,
"You were a little unjust to
mc today about the apple , were
you not , mother ? "
" Yes , my son' I was. I huugh
- - " But what you thought
will not affect thc \'erdict.
"W 'as it fair mother , to say
that I could stay out till six , and !
then pretend it was six before it
was quite six ? "

JUDICIAL APPORTIONMENT
The committec on privileges
and } elections is considering a new
judicial aiportionm lIt bill with
the idea of getting rid of some of
our surplus Judg-es. 1'he hill as
i now constituted puts ichanlsoll I ,
Pawnee , Gage and Jefferson as
the First district with one uc1gc.
1'his apportionment would be
sure to give Gage County the
Judge for all time in the future.
Gage and Jefferson arc in the
same congressional district and
about all that would be necessary
for Gage County to do would le
t keep } on nominating Hinshaw
of Jefferson for congress and get
Jefferson for the Gage County's
man for Judge Pawnee and
Richardson would continue to
hold the sack.

C. \V Lewcllil1g- , the practical
farmer and in ti ! ute orator , i5 i not i I
only instructive in what he tells ;
the farmer to elo , hut l'q belly so j'
in what hc tells them to a\'oic1. : '
IIc says : "Insteac1 of buying 9 ,
ground oyster shell : : at extrava- I
gant prices for your poultry , ue I
nature's coin mu on sense article ,
which the bird prcfcr to all :
others , viz. common sand , ha'c it
abundantly convenient to your I

because your hens c10 not lay. t

"Lixil Janes" lice killer. n'
"Instead of feeding expensive
IJowders and stock feed to your
hogs provide for theism , in thc
summer time , a good clover or al-
falfa pasture and hay from the , i ,
same in win tel' .
I\Ir. Lewelling- emphasized the
importance of these things to the
farmer and insisted that thc bull
dog should be turned loose when
these fellows which before long
would } be coming around with
their spurious anc1 expensive r
wa res.
lIe said also that , "any farmer
can write to thc State Experi-
ment Station , snaking his request -
quest known ilnll the officers
there will g-ratuitously send him
a formula from which he can
compouncl his own stock powders
much better in quality , and at
less than one fourth the cost. "
Mr. Lcwclling- quoted the in-
grcelicnts and many were seen in
the audience writing it clown.
Farmers are quick to catch on 111
these matters. A } tAH\mlt.
