Prune Your Trees Now.
Simple and easy at the right time.
NOW. If 3'ou do not want a bud to
grow into limb rub off the bud from
which the limb starts , NOW. Prun-
ing any other time of year is a great
deal more work and sacrifices the
best development and fruiting of : the
trees. Tbere should be from 8 : to o
main limbs and the limbs balanced
up. Keep center of tree moderately
free from limbs. Where limbs inter
- , ' , fere or rub each other cut off the end
Jo that can be best spared and keep the
: ' \ tree' good shape. Never cut olf a
limb an inch or more from a bud or a
limb or trunK of tree. It will leave
a dead stub that will not heal over
and it will decay . back into . the heart
ot .limb or trunk of tree. Cut close
and it will heal over completely in a
short time. Paint large wounds with
any kind of paint or white lead to
prevent decay until wound heals ov-
er. . Prune fruit trees now for fruit-
fulness. Thus the tree has reserve
strength and will put that extra
strength into fruit buds which are
iormed in August of this year for .
next years fruit. !
We have all the varieties of Cher-
ry , Plum , Anple ] and Forest dnd
Shade Trees , Evergreens , Small Fruit
Shrubs , Roses and other ornamentals. ]
GET THE CHEAPEST for a long ]
time usefulness. ] A THEE IS : A PER
MANENT INVESTMENT. Get trees
grown nearest home. They are ac
climated and grown under same con-
ditions jou want them to grow , and
where they can be had the quickest.
We have 25 acres in our nurseries
and 40 acres in our bearing orchard.

The business interests of Nebraska
defeated prohibition in 1S30 ) and such
interests will do so in 1010. ; )
- . - - - . -
Statistics show that the state debts
'n all the license communities have
liminished more rapidly than in pro-
hibition ones. From 1SSO to 1890 the
debt of. Maine declined 37 per cent ,
while in Massachusetts the decrease
was C5 per cent. Nebraska the
.
3cat declined 42 per } cent while in
r { . nsas it increased 12.G per cent.
Speaking of the result of the Ala.
bama election , Col. D. R. Burgess of
.Mobile ! said ! : " 1 speak as a business
man. The defeat of the prohibition
amendment will add materially to the
'value of investments in this state. It
.vill ; convince the financial interests of
the : country that : the conservative men
of the state have taken control of
public affairs. "
The prosperity of a community may
be fairly gauged by the'average wages : : .
paid elllp O'Cs. In Maine the average
w a tr.es : paid } was $350 : ; in New Hamp-
shire , $383 , wliile in Massachusetts
the average was $ . ! ! )4. In Iowa the
pay of the employes averaged $ 197 ;
I in Minnesota , $180. In Kansas , $437 ;
,
in Nebraska , $545. ( Eleventh cen-

Every Nebraska county convention

The record of sales of Nebraska
farms during 1000 ! ) shows that in forty-
.
five counties lands were sold at ? 100
per acre and upward. The record also
shows that in seven different counties
lands were sold at as high a figure as
$150 per acre. When it is remembered
that ten years ago $100 an acre was
unknown in this state , something of
the increase in land values will te
appreciated.
Sheriff Hoagland of Lancaster
.
county , in an interview published by
the Lincoln Journal Nov. 14 , lOO'.i. :
said : "I do not believe that liquor-
using is the principal cause of crime.
To say so is an exaggeration. I know
that 95 ! , per cent of those who drink
are not criminals. While nearly all
criminals drink , many of the worst and
shrewdest do not drink while they are
committing a crime. I think a great
many boys become criminals before
they become drunkards. "
i An honest county-option law would
provide that all ballots for the license
policy would be counted and given
the full force and effect that tfvery
legal ballot is entitled to exert ; and
every ballot cast for the non-license
policy would also be made effective.
Such a law would give the voter the
option of casting a ballot either way
.
and any law that would prevent the
counting of wet ballots in such an
election is shorn of all semblance of
option. The use of the word option
in connection with a one-sided elec
tion is intended to deceive.

From tlie Portland ( Maine ) Daily
Argus of Nov. 20 , 1900 ! ) ! ) , we take the
following : "The utter failure of pro- ,
hibition to prohibit is only one of
the counts in the indictments of the
system. Its positive evils are even
more demoralizing than its negative
evils. What it does is worse than
what it does not do. Law violation
leading to general disrespect of all
law ; debauching of politics ; the
promotion of bribery and perjury ; the
hypocrisy and humbug engendered by
it ; the snivelling cant on the . one hand
and the sneaking methods on the oth
- er - these and many more evils aro
what follow the futile attempt to com- "
nel _ _ abstinence by . law. "
