NOTES FROM SEWARD
AND SEWARD COUNTY
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 22.-(Speclal.)-rure-
bred stock associations and owners of
registered stock do everything In their
power to Impress people with tho su
perlative value of their stock, yet at
the same time they object to Its assess
ment nt values higher than ordinary
marketing live stock. That condition was
practically admitted to tho state tax
commission today when J. A. Amsbery
of Mason City Inquired of that body It
It expected to recommend that registered
stock bo valued uniformly over the stato
at twice the value of unregistered cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep and chickens.
The commission laid down two funda
mentals In this regard to which It ten
tatlvcly subscribed. First, that county
assessors or their subordinates hnvo no
statutory authority to lay down arbitrary
rules fixing value of one class at twice
tho other, and, second, that under pre'
vailing laws, the stock should ho as
sessed, as all property Is Intended to be,
at Its actual valuo and levies made on
one-fifth of that amount.
MnKRl fSoen to tovrn.
Secretary Edward G. Maggl of the
Stato Pardon board went to Iowa yestor
day on Invitation of the prison board of
that stato to sit with them at their pes
slon this week and glvo them some of
tho Ideas which have been used by tho
Nebraska board. Mr. Maggl expects to be
with the board about two or three days.
Cnll for Wnrrnnta.
State Treasurer George has mado a call
for another bunch of stato warrants
amounting to about J2O7.0O0. It will In
clude all numbers up to 2,744 and will bo
mado January 24, 1914. This will cut the
'outstanding warrants down to abou?
?K5,000.
Htiff Applied for I'lncc.
Rev. James Huff of South Omaha, who
served under Governor Shallenbergcr as
chaplain of the stato penitentiary, has
applied to Governor Morchead for tho
position of chaplain of the same Institu
tion to fill tho vacancy caused by the
death of Chaplain Johnson. Rev. Mr.
Huff achieved some promlnonco at tho
time he was appointed by Governor Shal
lenberger because of opposition to his
appointment because ho was a member
of the church of Latter Day Saints. Rev.
Mr. Huff insisted that he belonged to
the reformed branch of tho original Mor
mon church.

Alfred Keller, an applo grower of Flor
ence, Is In attendanco at tho horticul
tural show at the city auditorium and

was this applo which brought down the
prize. Ho calls It the "Delicious."
VOTES FOR WOMEN
Ever since the world began, man has considered himself
the "Lord of Creation." Centuries of Evolution and Revolution have
brought about conditions which have caused this "proud monarch"(?) to
pauso and think a bit. Tho old order is changing. Yesterday women humbly asked; today they
demand. Women! Insist that your rights be respected, that tho "head of the house" bo amen-
ablo to advice (and discipline.) Demand that Friend Husband order not "just coal," bu
Central Goal & Ooko Go's. Goal. "Just coal" may satisfy Friend Husband, who is away all
day, but not women folks who havo to enduro from sun to sun the annoyanco and discomfort
of inefficient fuol. This is suroly taxation without representation. Oontral Goal & Coke Go's.
Coal is the woman's friend and helper. Morning, noon and night it does its honest work. Cen
tral's guarantee protects you from inefficient fuel and short weights.

UPLAND. Neb., Jan. 22.-(gpeclaI.)-A
meeting of the business men has been
called for Monday evening to reorganize
the Upland Commercial club, which or
ganlzatlon has been defunct for about
rour years, one or the objects of re
organization Is to try to bring the prop
osition to Install a municipal electric
light riant to a vote tho near future.
It is thought that It will require about
$7,000 to put the plant in operation, un
less a plan can be worked out whereby
Hlldreth will supply Upland with the
required Juice.
You can "raise" a loaf
of white flour bread
with yeast but you
can't "raise" healthy,
robust American
youngsters in that way. The best food
for growing boys and girls is
Shredded Wheat
It contains no yeast, no fats, no chemicals of any kind just pure
whole wheat, steam-cooked, shredded and baked. The crisp, brown
Biscuits are not only deliciously appetizing, but they encourage
thorough chewing, which makes them better than porridges for
growing youngsters. Ask your grocer.
Always heat the Biscuit in oven to restore crispness. Two Shredded
Wheat Biscuits with hot milk or cream will supply all the energy
needed for a half day's work. Deliciously nourishing when eaten in
combination with baked apples, stewed prunes, sliced bananas or canned
or preserved fruits. Try toasted Triscuit, the Shredded Wheat wafer,
for luncheon with butter, cheese or marmalade.
