Attorney General Willis El Reed !n Irri

United States supreme court. The ques
tion to be settled by the higher court is
whether the state rn control water
rights within Nebraska territory or
whether this right Is vested In the fed

rights litigation, and the state, has un
doubtedly strengthened Its chance for

their dedication exercises. The two rooms
were full. The excellent picture exhibit
from the Lincoln fine aria shop was on
the walls and several pictures were pur

the bell fund waa brought close to the re
quired amount.
The teacher are in the old bulldtnix
; and appreciating their home hevnnd
words. I was one of a house party for
tho week-end. but the partv turned into
an unexpected channel, showing that a
teacher age has never been bounded by
required use. The mother of elcht chil
dren In the district died and Miss Harri
son s heart and home opened to tho fam
ily. She had from three to six at the
teacherage for two days and turned her
own wardrobe out to help make clothing
for the needy family. A sewing machine
was writ In from n neighbor's and our
Sabbath waa spent In making clothes for
the children. Monday the school house
whs used for the funeral. Next Sunday
there will be church services there. Al
ready new settlers are coming in be
cause of the good school facilities. Part of

If you can send us more school mothers
like Miss Gene Harrison we shall wel
come them. The year haa been very hard
and lonely for her. but she has made
good.
Lake Alice's teacherage Is doubtless on
the ground now, since ihey were moving
last week.
There Is a big need for these teacher
aues and our three should, bv their use
fulness, be the beginning of many. Espe
cially are they convenient for two-teacher

calls upon all good citizens nnd others to
get things In hapo so there will he less
danger from fire. He gives a line of In
struction to he followed out, and says:
Governor Morehesd his Issued a rroe
Inmatlon naming the week of April 10 as
"flean t'p" week throughout the state
Thli "Clean l"p ' week should Interest
every clilten In the state. The mayors of
every city and vlllmre should Issue l.wsl
proclamations asking their rlt'aen to ro
oiMTaie in clesnlnit up and tempting all
fire dangers. Tne city t,r vlllsge should
furnish men and terms free of charge to
haul away waste and rubhls'i; this would
cost only a few dollars sod wciuld proh.
ablv sine the city thousands of dollars
from fire waste.
1 lltit,v 'fl..k., t'..' ..II
should make a special Insnecllnn of tlialr
territory and compel the change of any
conditions which would lend to eliminate
thn possibility of a fire.
Every commercial club of the state
should have a fire prevention committee.
The committee should send out a call
usHinir an cmirns to oo-operate in lunk'
Inir "Clean t'p" day a success.
Woman's clubs should take en Interest
In the day and ask every member to look
Into their home conditions with ! Mew cf
abolishing every possible fire danger.
Never allow old tubhlsh, waste naecr.
excelsior, paints, oils, or gressv rns to
accumulate In kitchens, attics, closets,
cellars, barns, sheds, yards, or aPevwava.
All old rubbish shou'd be gathered to
gether now during "t'lesn I'p" week and
hauled away and burned.
Ashes should be taken away and dis
posed of.
(Jasollne, naphtha and other volatile
oils should not be kept In buildings.
Open flue hnlea should !e covered and
protected with metal caps.
Electricity, when improperly Installed.
Is a dangeroun fire haxard. Um(i cords
should not be hung on nails or wrapped
around any piping: confer with your city
electrician when chnngea are contem
plated. Do not allow employes or lnex
perlenced persons to tamper with elec
trical Installations.
Never make a bonfire or a fire to burn
rubbish, within twenty feet of any build
ing or near a wooden fence or shed
Never make a fire to burn rubbish on a
windy day. Oreat conrisf-a'iops krf
been caused 4iy "sparks" from bonfires
and from "burning rubbish."
On March 22 the city of Paris, Tex.,
was almost wiped out of existence by a
conflagration which destroyed property
worth over r.onoOK). We have no assur
ance that Nebraska will never be visited
by a like calamity.
The fire commission department of Ne
braska la Interested In making Nebraska
have the lowest fire loss possible, and
every cltlien of the State shouldba In
terested In assisting us In this worthy
purpose. Seventy-five per cent of our
rite loss la due to rarelessneaa and neg- .
