carrier, who has been in the service
in Omaha for forty-four years, sub
scribed. An arrangement has been
made whereby the employes can pay
tor tlieir bonds at the rate ot 1U per
cent on every pay day, thus paying
for the bonds in ten monthly payments.

Carries Optimistic Tone
The Northwestern Railroad com
pany's report of crop conditions along

ing Friday shows heavy precipitation
over the entire state and in some lo
calities so much rainfall that farm
work has been delayed.
While nin hindered working in the
fields, apparently it did not interfere
with the growth of crops. The report
indicates that smai: grain of all kinds
is in the best possible condition. In
some of the southern counties, the
heads are beginning to show in the
fields of wheat and oats.
The weather during most of the
Sweek was unseasonably cool, but this
I weems to have been of great value to
I nne wheat.
J I Corn planting has been finished and
(Ahe fields where the ground was not

cultivation The stand is as good
' as ever known and in most localities
the plant is as far advanced as usual
at this season of the year. '
It is sairi that there has never been
so large an acreage as this year.
Potatoes are coming along rapidly
and the acreage is the greatest in the
history of the state.
