12 TMH BEE. OMAHA. FRIDAY. MAY 8, 1914. STATE GR0PSARE PERFECT tinnsualiy Large Acreage of Both Wheat and Corn in Nebraska. COLOR IS THE BEST POSSIBLE General Mnier Iloldrrsce at the Burlington 9x Various Crop In nnt Condition Km for the Time ot Yenr. After having completed a Irlp over tiroctlcallr of the Burlington lines nest of the Missouri river, General Man alter Jtoldreg-e returns fully convinced that at this season of the year (hero has never been a time during his long resi dence here when Nebraska .crops looked OJs promising as now. General Manager Iloldrego left Omaha ten days ago. accompanying President Miller and Vice President Byram on their annual tour ot Inspection, lie turning, Mr. Holdresc came from Den ver direct, while the other official! of the Burlington return to Chicago by way of Kansas City and St. I-oula. In speak ing of crop conditions through Nebraska and through eastern "Wyoming and Colo rado, Mr. Holdrege says: "Wheat In Perfect. The winter wheat, sr.il there Is an unusually large acreage, Is In perfect condition everywhere. In some Isolated localities early In the season the cereal seemed to have been Injured by reason of a lack of snow to furnish protection from the cold weather and tho high winds. Now, however, these spots are not visible. The cool weather and the abundance of moisture has worked won ders The grain appears to be fully ft foot high, has stooled out until It cov ers the ground In a perfect mat and has a color that Indicates a perfect condi tion. It Is, of course, too early to make predictions, but If the season continues favorable until harvest Indications are that the crop of wheat wll be n bumper. Spring wheat, oats and barley Is In Just about the same condition as the winter wheat. I.ni'ttr Corn Arreaar. There is going to be a large acreage of corn and right now tho farmers ore the busiest people In the state. Somo torn has been planted during the present week, but not very much., Farmers have their ground ready and by next week planting will be In full blast. 'Pasturage Is the best that I have ever seen It at this tlmo of year. The cool, wet weather has brought the grass alons very fast and the pastures seem to bo as good as they usually are the first ot June. Alfalfa has made wonderful progress And In many sections ot the state It looks as If It Is nearly far enough along f6r the first cutting. The growth Is very heavy and tho plant promises well for ihe usual number of cuttings." Nonsupport Grounds for Divorce of Mrs. andDr.E. J.C, Sward A divorce from Dr. Ernest J. C, Sward, former member ot the Stato Board of Health, and well known in Omaha and Nebraska, was awarded Mrs. Nell H. award by District Judge Scars yesterday. Mrs. Sward testified that her husband had given her not more than IK during the last three months, the grounds for legal separation being nonsupport. Their 14-year-old son. Jack, corroborated hla mother! testimony- The testimony Indi cated that Dr. Sward's health was poor. Dr. and Mrs. Sward wcro married No vember 8, 1197. at Burlington, Wis. They resided several years at Oakland. Cus tody of three children, one of whom wns adopted, waa given Mrs. Swnrd.

Fine Arts Society ' TAKE THEIR FIGHT ALONG OppOSeS Buying Of lincolnites Bother Grand Island Con Tumer Residence ! vention with Home Dispute. A postal card otc b members of the Omaha Society of 1'lne ArU was found nt a., meeting yesterday to hhow a safe majority opposed to the society buying the .Turner property for an art home and gallery. However, earnest pleas of the campaign committee to be allowed to make n. final effort to raise the W.000 nefsmry to buy the property, were met with ttrmlsslon to continue In the at tempt Uilrty days longer. The decision for an extension of time was prnctlcally unanimous, and Is un derstood to have lieen concurred In by tucmlwrs opposed to the Turner pur chase, because they thought that hnr nny In the society would best be pro moted by such action, and that most of the subscriptions made to date would be lost unlstss the orlclnal purpose of buy Ins tho Turner property was carried out. A new constitution, enlarging the mem bership and providing for the manage ment And maintenance of an art home, was ailoptcd.

OVER EXPOSITION BUILDING Personal Dislikes Kntrr Into Com mercial Clnlts' Meetlna; Intended to Settle Arbrnskn Slrtic tnrp nt 'Frisco, Omaha kept discreetly out of the fight over the proposed Nebraska building at the San Francisco exposition when the matter came up at tho convention of Ne braska Associated Commercial clubn nt Grand Island Wednesday. Ho did most of the rest of the stato keep out of the fight except Lincoln. It waa not war; It waa a Lincoln Insurrection that might as wol! have taken the shape of an Internal ex plosion at the Capital City among Its own delegates before they went to Grand Island. But It did not. W. It. Mellor, Ft. I. Mo Kelvy. John Cutright and If. M. Hush nail, nil delegate of Lincoln, Instead of fighting out their differences of opinion on the matter nt home In Lincoln, car ried their grievances to the Grand Inland convention. There McKelvy popped up on the floor and wanted to know what tho association was going to do about H state 'building at San Francisco, W. II Mellor, secretary of the state fair board, followed clof-e nt his heels with an urgent tequost that something be done and that such a building be built there. Came then John Cutright, who said tho whole propo sition of building a structure, out nt the fair wasn't worth a darn, as we could expect nothing from California or tho coast country. Up Jumped II. M. Bush noli who followed In Cutrlght s tracks, nnd Insisted thit the money It would coat to build a Nebraska building there might be spent In advertising at homo Instead ot In San Francisco, 3,000 milts awRy. The .convention sat back, smiled and let the Llncolnltcs fight over their differ ences of opinion until It was, aaiumed they hud monopolised enough ot the asso. clatlon's time. Then debate vu stopped nnd no action was tnken on the matter Watch Our Windows and g H the Papers for H Saturday's Big I $5.00 Sale I Ypu will wonder bow we can sell such elegant suits for men and young men, ; also suits, coats and dressos E for women and misses that are worth ? 10.00 to J15.00 $5-00 1 It Is all In the way we buy our merchandise. jj The Novelty Company, 21-i.210.218 N. 10th St. EE llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllll REID M'BURNEY VISITS OLD FRIENDS IN OMAHA P.

At llsstitms and west of there the ruling temperature was 33 above, with as low ai !"0 ovrr in Colorado. All through northorn and Western Kansas reports to the rail road Indicated temperatures of 33 to 10 above, with heavy frosts pretty general. llaltroad men nr of the opinion that fruit was the only thing damaged by the cold. A light freexe. they contend, would riot Injure the winter wheat or the alfalfa. Jt would give the spring grain a slight setback, but this would not materially Interfere with the subsequent growth.
