Lincoln, Oct. is. (Specuu-state Auditor W. B. Howard returned yester day from a trip Into Lincoln county and Is feeling enthusiastic over crop condi tions there. "The land out In -Lincoln county," said the auditor, "Is Just about tho samA'aa that which Is being opened for home stead entry now In northern Nebraska, and the man who gets hold of a piece of land can make good on It If he wants to. "As an Instance of what a man can do," said Mr. .Howard, 'In company with my brother we drove out to the farm of Joseph Beachon. Bcachon has one of those 640-acro Kinkaid homesteads. He como to North Platte six years ago with Just CO cents In his pocket. He got work at North Platto and soon took a home stead. Now ho has a big grove of elm, catalpa, box elder, maple and cotton woods. Each year he cuts slips fronvthe cottonwoods and heels them In and they grow finely. Lost spring ho set out a grove of theso sprouts and now they are ten to twelve feet high, and It will be but a short time until they will make good fence posts." Mr. Howard said that Mr. Bachon had raised about 800 watermelons this year and his corn would yield about forty bushels to tho acre. The dry weather had not affected tho growing crops In that locality and Mr. Beachon would be a long way to the good on his 191 crop. Another man who has mado good on a Kinkaid homestead near North Platte la Mr. Dubke. He went Into the stock busi ness, starting out with Just one cow. He Increased his herd whenever he had the money to buy, and this year sold a car load Of yearlings for $51.60 each. He also disposed of a bunch of spring calves for 145 each. Mr. Dubke has developed what Is known as bunch grass until It makes a valuable hay crop. "Of course," said Mr. Howard, "not all of the 'Klnkalders' have mado the suc cess that these men have. Boma of them" In fact, have mado no success at all, but if fi. man wonts to take a Kinkaid home stead nnd Improve his opportunities, ho can become Independent In a very few years. Mrrubke. for Instance, has built a house of cement blocks. Just above his house In a ravine he has built a reservoir and connected the house by piping, and he now has Just as modern conveniences as any of us here In Lincoln." NORTH PLATTE CORN YIELD SURPRISING TO FARMERS (From a Staff Correspondent) LNCOLN, Oct 18. (Special) Farmers living in tho North Platto section of the state have reported to the State Board of Agriculture that they are agreeably sur prised at the corn yields this fall. Albert Johnson of Loup City, who was In Lin coln yesterday, had estimated one of his olghty-acre fields at twenty-five bushels to the acre. The yield was thlrty-slx bushels, the corn being weighed eighty pounds to tho bushel. "We were surprised at the quantity and the quality of the crop," he said. "Pre- ivloua to the husking wo out a portion of the Held to fill the silo. I believe the com we put Into tho alio was almost as good as the remainder of the field. The corn Is of excellent quality and we have the figures to prove that the average per acre is thlrty-slx bushels by weight Instead of the twenty-flvo bushels as per our ostlmate early In the fall." From a number of counties In the North Platte country come reports of a similar nature. The Increased yield, together with the advanced priced will make the corn crop a formidable Item this year In the state's total production.

I wonder If other people hare the same trouble when storms pome up at night that I have. Storms seem to make a specialty of coming up at night. A storm would he forever disgraced If it came up In the daytime. The other night I woke up with a start I used to wake up with a start quite often, as I find that In the lonr run It gives the best satisfaction. After I had wakened up with n start I found that a storm was roaming around. The thunder was rolling nnd every now and tnen the lightning would cleave a cloud like a mighty butcher. The wind begun Whipping through the window trying Its best to get the furniture out on the lawn. I started toward the window to elo.c It Up to that time I had thought that I was a poor man with Just here and there I a sprig or lurniiuro, uui now i uckhu iu realise that my room was a whole forest of furniture. I took one quick stride to ward the window, but I found that some careless person had placed a chair di rectly tn my path. The point of tho rooker bit Into my tnstop nnd I wished that I could got hold of tho person who had left the furniture so Jumblod around. I veerod off and started toward tho window aatn to detain the curtains Ihvt wore straining every nerre to cot loots, but a table ran Into me. Asfi!n I made unpleasant remarks about the person who had made free with my furniture. I would not be fooled again, so I steered In another direction, but I had forgotten about the bookcase. Somebody had been there Just ahead of me and placed It tn my path. I backed off ahd spoke to the book can o with feeling. I did not care If I did break Its heart. I now felt that I knew the location of every pleoe of furniture In the room and advanced boldly towards the window and the flapping ourtalns, but In this I was unfortunate. I had not taken Into con sideration the character of the sofa. I did not know that It would be mean enough to sneak around and get tn front of. me. T gave It a good hearty kick with my bare foot. I regretted this In a mo ment Even people on the next block could hear mo regrottlng It I started to tho wail to get a match, but when I got to the wall I found that the matches had gone. The room hod faced about, and I was fsellng ofShe wrong wall. I turned and started toward tho missing wall with my mind fully made up that someone must suffer for this. I didn't rare who It was, but I wasn't ffolmr to do all the auffrrlnp. Th furniture evidently graspod my plana for most of It rot around In front of me.

I decided that I would thwart the fur niture, so I draoned doim nn m and knees and started crawling toward me window. But n head ran Infn center table.
