Kins tor a whirlwind campaign In t!M
interest c better teed corn to Nebraska
were mad fey the Otnaiia Oram exchange
at a meeting at tv.e Commercial club
last rjght. Kminent agricultural authjr
Itlea tram over the stale vera present
and Knanitnously testified that th situa
tion Justified trlngent measures." A Jew
speakers helleved lucre was aufficlent
eed corn on the farms and In the ma
jority of cases In the crib of each farmer
to supply tb farmers, but the pre
poadrranca of opinion was that Nebraska
could not furnish enough good seed com
to Insure an oidinarjr crop In tbe state
this rear.
Among the speakers were: F. I
aialler, W. O. Whltinore. trot. C. W.
jPugsly. Dean A. E. Burnett, Bert Ball,
Chancellor Samuel Avery, J. C. Ilobln
laoa, 8. V. Miller, Frank OJell and rrp
iresentaUrea of the Great Western, Union
Pacific and llurllngton rallroacTs, Every
proffssloa was represented and all were
equally Interested in tlis vital subject
of better reed corn.
Numerous plana wer suggested for
testing seed corn, anions which was that
of Bert Ball of Chicago, secretary of the
crop Improvement committee of the
Korth American Grain exchange. His
method la to use a "rag baby." which Is
" new method designed to attract the
attention if school children and one that
.has proven very effective. The plan was
explained to the grain exchange. Com
mercial club and Ad club men and to
tit grain dealera from other lections at
the auto who were present.
Million I a erase ta Caaaty.
"Sir. Ball also discussed ag length the
seed earn campaigns carried out auocasa-
' fully In other states. It is his Opinion
that by careful selection of teal each
county In Nebraska could easily increase
the value of the annual crop yield II.,.
000. "The trouble Is we are in theory
twenty-Ova yean ahead at autoalvea In
practice," said the speaker; "too much
sweat and too few bratns art used oo the
.farms.-'
. air, Wakeley of the Burlington and
, other railroad men suggested that Instead
at the usual custom of one special In
struction train being run this year tbe
-men backing the seed corn Investigation
secure. four trains oa each road or as
many as was necessary to enake tbo earn-
. palm In, say a week, in this manner
the two-fold purpose of educating the
farmers and getting them to co-operate
, would bo mors easily accomplished. De
tails of the excursion will be left with a
, .committee but several trains will be -
, that can be reached by rail and the seed
election doctrine will bo spread by able
, speakers from the University of Ne
braska and especially from the oxporl
meets! station, which was well repre-
- sealed at tbo meeting. !
- Co-operatlea ml lalverslly,
Trot. Pugsley. Dean Burnett and Chan
j atllor Avery pledged tbo willing co-opera-.tion
of the university men la the work,
-aach voicing a warning and calling at
tention to th danger of neglecting the
problem. They also advocated rotation of
crops) Prof. Pugsley paying particular at
tention ta this subject as one of import
evnc almost as great at that of good seed
jtern. ,
JVC Robinson, who for many years bat
Vaught and sold teed oorn. said until yea.
tarday ho ksd not been alarmed, but upon
' MamlBlng several samplee of corn' had
' found all tha warnings Justified by the
- facts. Mo has purchased !, bushels of
"good teed corn, but bat already told this
knd much of It will go to the farmers of
Nebraska, from which ttste It wta all
" secured. ' , -
' Mr. ltoblnsoa explained the condition
lhat have brought about tbo crisis.
f Utrrr, bo declared, had such an unusual
( condition existed. The corn waa dry and
tn a fine ststo of preservation and would
nmva germinated earlier In the season.
A warm spall followed Intensely cold
weather and the oorn went through a pro-
reas of "sweating." Then ctme another
freest and the kernels were frosen, to
. that few of them will now germinate,
Ta feet Dearer Iteaala.
One speaker declared that the farmers
, wore ellve to tho situation. but wore
.too careless. C. Rosewater asld that
?"tie present campaign Included tbe post-
lng of "danger" signals a every place Is
nenraska where farmers eoiurreaaied.
, la addition to tho discuss loo of tha ased
com situation there waa a generally ex
pressed opinion that tho state had treated
- tht state experimental farm "niggardly"
ln Its appropriations and some of tha msa
present begaa planning to put ap a strong
. scrap la the next legislature for a larger
appropriation thsn the tUSOt doled out

The Problem of Little Homes
ly Arthur CL Clanaea.
T Is a proverbial fact, that tht
average homebuilder comes to
k; architect with a "cream
anretito and a rklm milk
gjST'l pocket book." Ho will want
ammmHtl a colonial manMon wtlh por
ticos, side wicg acd posterior porches
for tbo exterior, with Interior arrange
ment of reception hall, living room, lib
rary, dining room, etc., at least two
bathrooms, with privets lavatory for
each bedroom, tht best grade of hard
wood finish "and then If palb:e," a
brlrk exterior and a tile roof, an for
&0us. lie Is only one of a thousand
such, and still ha wonder v.hy architects
turn prematurely gray.
It teem to be contrary to the laws of
human nature fur a run to keep his
want within h!s means. Ever- man
strives to build a larger home than he
can afford, liven tho man who builds
a three-room bungalow gooa Into debt
before the home Is complete. In order to
have it a little better than he might get
along with, for a while, at least. The
man. who (without persuuloa from hit
trchltect.) voluntarily decides to see
how small ht can build a noma, and
have It fill his needs, would b a curi
osity to tht sverige builder or architect
Tht planning of a small home is more
difficult than tht planning of a larger
oil; to meet the requirement of the
ram family. Not because tha arrange
ment can not be ts convenient, for any
thing built on a large seal ran be built
on a small scale, within a certain rea
sonable minimum, but becauio the aver
age perron ha an exaggerated Idea as to
how much room they need, for living
purposes.
When sitting In tho parlor, with two
or three friends, the actual space that
I taken up together with tho usual par
lor furniture I not considerable, when
tht dlnlnf room It openly connected with
the parlor, the effect of dlstanc prevent
a cramped or etufty appearance.
In tha dining room, of course, th ,-.e
of tho table, together with tho fact that
a pa snag must b maintained around tho
outside of tho seated guests, establishes a
ten foot minimum for the least dimension.
Tho dining room should bo made a little
longer than It narrowest dimension, to
permit extension of th table on special
occasions. This extra length la often
obtained by projecting a bay, which when
properly designed adds to tho attractive-
ess both within and without
Homo people think they simply cannot
get along without a den. Th writer ad-

Prom aa Investment standpoint. It I a
significant fact that small homes contain
ing a sufficient number of room and
all modern conveniences tell better and
at larger profits In proportion to the In
vestment than larger or more eoatly
homes, which would Indicate that th
average homebuilder would he content
with room not quit so large, aa It
thtnkt It necessary, when planning a
home. If he could only eee a home In
every wy meeting hi requirement, with
room Just large enough to be practical
and homelike.

many little metaphor war sparkling
with truth and th benign way la which

"Let us look sanely at things." said
Deea Beesey In opening, "and place the

"Hero are the vital things that are
worth while: Health, play, friendship,
repute lion, ability and knowledge.
"It is of vital importance to keep In
good health. Do not Vpee up' the body j
by the as of stimulants and at the same
time do Bet slow down your ambition by
indulges; frequently ta narcotics. Above
all, endeavor to keep yourself In the pink
of condition la order to meet the daily
battles of life.
"By playing I do not. mean games. Th
little child play as soon as It leave th
cradle, th youth play and th grown-ups
ought to play. Orgaclssd play promises
to become a very prominent feature of

"Friendship Is one of the primal requi

cultivated among young and old. Alwaya
