Trends and Improvements are assessed at $258,219,230, an average of $6.08 per acre. While there la much land In the state not adapted to agriculture, stilP assess ment of land on an a vera (re of $6.06 per acre la not a very good advertisement for the state. On the Idea that it Is assessed for one-fifth value this would only bring ths land valuation on an average of $30.10 per acre.

In many Instances It would seem that the valuation of this property Is not very fairly divided. The whole valuation Is placed at $73,4SO,52l, an aver age of only $129 to the lot. Douglas county lots are placed at a valuation for taxation of $376.45 per lot;- Lancaster county lota at $193.08. Dodge at $'H.73; Gage at $42.80, Hall at $!6o.8fl, I'latte at $144.63.

IyOts and Improvements In Adams county, which has Hastings within Its borders, are assessed at an average of- $110.21, while In Boone county, where the largest town Is only about 1,500. lots and im- . . . I .I'M 1 provemenis mereon are rsecbk-u hi j more than the Adams county lots. In ; Cass county lota are assessed but $06.78, while In Cuming county they are place at ! $119.90. In Garfield county, where there are no towns having a populatlo nof as high as 1,000 people, lots and Improve ments are placed at $126.20. while In Gage county, one of the best Improved counties ; In the state, lota and improvements are ..but $42.80. Horse "Values Vary. There are 903,965 horses in Nebraska, valued at $12,740,876, an average of $14.10 per h',.-se, or a real valuation of $70.60 for each animal on an average. However, the value appearsto be considerably different In each county, horses In Burt county being- valued the highest for taxation, $19.63, while In Thomas county they are val.ed at but $7.44 each. In somo of the counties where the raising of high-bred horses Is indulged in the average does not appear to be very much higher than In counties where there is not much at tention paid to the business. There are 106,381 mules in the state, which are assessed at $1,899,176, an aver age valuation for taxation purposes of $17.42 per animal. The highest assessment Is in Burt county, where the long-eared animals are averaged at $24.23 each, while the lowest average la in Hooker county, where the valuation la given at 8. There are 2.811.480 cattle in the state, valued for taxation at $14,184,306, or $6.14 per head. This probably Includes all ages. The average valuation Is the highest in Burt county, $9.06, while the lowest Is In Grant county, $4.6, Antfmoblle Valuations.

The highest priced automobiles are to be found in Knox county, where they are assessed at $136 each. The lowest assessment is found in & llr.lt Jtmintv IvhftM thA nVfTAUA aHffePAS- ment is ?40.

The warden gave a ahort history of the beginning of the present system and Its progress to tho present time, tho first move in to eradicate the dope traffic, one of the greatest curses the Institution had had to contend with In past years. That the cutting out of the habit has been successful he showed by saying that where formerly reports of bad conduct were made five to ten times a day, now about twice a month would cover those deficiencies. The antl-swearlng society among the. guards and employes, he said, had added much to the better atmosphere of the In- had assisted greatly In bringing about a better feeling between prisoners and those placed over them. In closing, he spoke of the honor sys tem used In the employment of the men on the roads and outside of the walls of the prison. He said: There Is no doulit that the road build ing, now In progress, will prove an en in fcuccess. litis will eniiuie our next iiegiHiHiure to cope with this problem to a greater extent.

We have also raised 600 head of hogs this year, besides a great many chickens. This work has all been done by honor men and will make a great saving In the malntalnence of the institution. I have sent many of our men on their honor to help farmers in haying and har vesting and other work and 1 rejoice to say that In the last thre years I have not had an honor man leave the prison warm. We have permitted a number of our bovs to visit a sick or dying rela tive, some of them going outside of the state, not one has betrayed the trust True, we have met with a few dis appointments, but they are so few com paced with the many who have made good that I am still a strong advocate of the honor system.

A PURE WHITE MINERAL OIL FOR CONSTIPATION THE final test of a remedy is does it do away with the trouble for which it is taken? By that test, the various laxatives and cathartics stand condemned. They do not remove the condition they are supposed to cure. In fact, the longer they are used, the more they are needed. Laxatives and cathartics are dangerously habit-forming. By the same test, the mineral oil treat ment, used in conjunction with a re turn to rational habits of eating and exercise, reveals itself as the one logical remedy for constipation. Nuiol is odorless and tasteless, abso lutely neutral, and is not digested or absorbed into the system. It acts merely as a mechanical lubricant. Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not rive quick, temporary relief. But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it relieves constioation in the most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal con tents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel activity. Write for 'The Rational Treatment of Constipation," an informative treatise on constipation. If you cannot get Nujol from your druggist, we will send you a pint bottle prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of 75c money order or 6tamps. . STANDARD OIL COMPANY (New Ur.sy) !
