THE GUBERNATORIAL SITUATION !
There has been some talk about
the gubernatorial situation in Ne-
braska and who should be the
nominee'on the democratic ticket.
We can see but one thing to do.
The opposition to Gov. Shallen-
berger seems to be very slight
throughout the country and with-
out reason.
Though Jim Dahlman has many
friends in this part of the country
who think he is alright as mayor
of Omaha and would support him
for governor were it , not for his
opposition to Gov. Shallenbp.r f'r.
These friends will not support him
while he is making a fight on the
present governor and W. 1. Bry
an. The personal liberty doctrine
is popular in i Nebraska : but the
state will not vote upon that ques
tion this year. Then , why should
the matter be forced to an issue
by the nomination of Mr. Dahl-
man which would rally the friends
of the contending factions to a bit-
ter fight for no purpose. Ne-
braska practically has county
option now , and every city votes
the each elec-
on question spring -
tion where there is a demand for
the sale of liquors. We can see
no need of further burdening the
people to declare for or against
t'he"saloon , where " - they ' have . . . . no in-
* ' " *
- - *
' terest inlhe "matter until l required * '
to say :
Gov. ' Shallenberger has been a
faithful governor of the state and
has for years worked for Ne-
braska's interests. I-Ie enjoys the
high esteem of every state in the
union and is generally looked up-
on everywhere as the highest type
of citizenship and the most capable
and broad minded man that has
ever graced the office of the chief
.
executive in y ears. We might
have said the "best governor the
state ever had , " had that express-
ion not been copyrighted ex-
clusively for Ex-Governor Sheld-
on by a few pie-hunting republi-
cans , or would like to have had
the expression copyrighted no
doubt , until they found themselves
much in the minority.
The people do not want another
figurehead in the governor's office
and they do not want a radical
man on any question , excepting
that he is radically right.
Governor Shallenberger cannot
be accused of being radical nor
, destructive to Nebraska's interests.
He is neither hasty nor dilatory
in his actions and the people
heartily approve of his fairness on
questions demanding his decision.
The people have looked upon his
record as governor and will be
glad to place their stamp of ap
proval upon that record at their
first opportunity , is our prophecy.
Geo. W. Beamer and wife came
down from Gordon last Friday
and visited friends in Valentine .
until raonday evening. While in
town they were guests of the edi- i
tor and we tried to show them a :
good time and to get ' 'Box 0" toI I
admit that Valentine was almost I
as big as Gordon , but the ne'arest
we could come to it was to get him
to say that our lights were lino
and onr sidewalks smooth ar.d that
the town had some fine stores , but
he thinks we'll never enjoy a big
reputation until we move to Gor
don. Mr. Beamer was trying to
locate a road near where he lives
tbat has a bridge but no road on
record. .

: , : How to Test Seed Corn.
; k
; ' \ The best way to test seed corn
'isiin . germination box. This is a
simple affair and can be made . by
5 .
anyone . * in an hour's time. 1
' * Take a box six inches deep and
about 2x3 ft. in size. Fill the
box about half ! full of moist dirt ,
sand or sawdust. Press it well
down .1 so it will have smooth , ev
en surface. Now take a white
cloth about the size of the box ,
rule it off checkerboard fashion , .
making squares one a half inches
each way. Number the checks 1 ,
2 , 3 and so on. Place this over
the dirt , sand or sawdust.
Take the ears to be tested and
either lay them out on the floor
and mark a number in front of
each or attach a numbered tag.
Now take off about six kernels
from each year ( not all from the
same place , but at several points
on all sides. ) Put these kernels
on the quares : corresponding in
number to those placed on ho ears
of . corn. Be careful ! not to get
t-hem mixed. Keep the ear * num-
bered to correspond ) EXACTLY
with the numbers on the squares
of cloth.
After the kernels have been
placed carefully on the cloth which
covers the moist sand , dirt or
sawdust cover them with another
cloth , considerably larger than the
box ; cover this cloth with about
two inches of the same moist -anr1
and keep the box in a warm plac ( ' . I
It must not get cold.
The kernels will germinate ID i >
four to six days.
Remove the cover carefully to
avoid : misplacing the kernels. Ex-
afnfne them carefully. , Some will1
have long sprouts but almost no
roots ; others will have not grown
at all , but the kernels from ears
which will produce corn if plant
ed , will have both sprouts and
good root s.vstems.
Compare the numbers on the
squares with those on the ears.
Put back into the fed corn bin the
ears which orrespond in number
to the numbers on the squares
where the kernels did not grow or
where they showed only weak
roots.
The ears numbered correspond-
ing to those on the cloth which
showed strong signs of life are the
ones to preserve tor seed. Every
kernel from these ears should pro-
duce a stalk , every stalk an ear.
Suppose one dead ear is planted.
The planter fails to get one thous-
and stalks of corn-almost twelve
bushels corn lost.

There will be a street sale on
the street Saturday at one o'clock ,
consisting 0 f household goods ,
articles of merchandise , stoves and
numerous articles needed in the
I home. At these sales there is i gen-
erally a number of articles that go
I
for a mere trifle because there is
no one on hand to bid w ho have
need of the articles. Those who
want sompthing more in the home
should be on hand to get what
they want.
