E. Z. Russell, editor of the Twen
tieth Century Farmer has returned
from Kansas City where he was one
of the delegates who attended the
conference called by Secretary of
Agriculture Houston to talk over
plans for increasing the wheat and
rye acreage in the United States in
1918. Delegates from the thirteen
states ot Missouri. Oklahoma, Kan
sas, Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, New
Mexico, coioraao, iowa, weDraska,
South Dakota, and Minnesota were
there. The delegates consisted large
ly ot larmers, and a number of mem
bers of State Councils of Defense,
professors ot agricultural coliecres.
members of state boards of agri
culture and a very few editors of
farm journals.
At the close ot the conference it
was recommended that no ' farmer
should ask more than 20 ner cent
above the market for the ordinary
run of wheat selling it for seed pur
poses, it was also the unanimous
opinion of the conference that farm
ers should stick closely to the van
eties already tried and found all right
for their localities rather than to try
new varieties 10 any great extent.
To Finance Seeding.
aoine interesting tnetnoas em
ployed in sdme of the states were
brought to light. The Minnesota
'delegates reported that under -. the
Minnesota law, the county board
may finance the seeding of a farm
er's fields with - wheat when the
farmer is- unabje to furnish the funds
to buy the seed he wishes to sow.
It is provided that the county may
take a mortgage on the crop in such
cases to cover the cost of seed. Colo
rado was found to have in operation
very enective tIan ot turnishinsr
city help to the farmers through1 la
bor bureaus conduct J in the cities.
We were very proud of Nebraska
at this conference, said Mr. Russell,
lor we found that Nebraska is far
in the forefront of the wheat states
in the matter of crops, seed distri
bution, and labor distribution. Many
of the delegates congratulated us on
being from Nebraska after they
learned what is being done in this
state in the matter of seed distribu
tion and other work in connection
with the furthering of the 1918 crop."
Talk Price of Wheat - ,
Much discussion arose as to what
should be a fair price for wheat, and
hat should the government guar
antee the farmers for their 1917 cuop.
Delegates split seriously on matter of
what should constitute fair orices
for wheat. The Minnesota. Iowa.
and Nebraska fellows did not clamor
for an excessive guarantee for
wheat. The Oklahoma and Kansas
fellows were anxious to have a pretty
mi guarantee ior ineir ivi wneat
crop. When there was disagreement,
the Oklahoma and Kansas farmers
present got together in a separate
meeting and sent a telegram to
Washington demanding $3 per bushel
minimum ior tneir jvi crop, tney
even threatened not to sow anv
wheat unless they got tins. -
One Kansas iariner read a state
ment in which he sought tti show that
it cost farmers of Kansas thjs ytar,
$2.70 per bushel to raise their wneat.
The accuracy of his figures was se
verely questioned.
A . Minnesota committee, followed
this With a statement compiled from
information gaiued from 700 farmers,
showing thaf Minnesota farmers
raised an average of fourteen bushels
of wheat per acre for the last ten
years. When the Minnesota fellows
were asked what they felt they must
get for their wheat to make good,
they replied $1.73 would be a fair
guarantee for the 1917 crop.
Finds His Stolen Auto
Just in the Nick of Time
Roy Jensen, 6113 South Twentieth
street, left his automobile standing
in front of 210S. Howard street at 11
o'clock, Thursday night and when he
returned, found it gone. He reported
the loss to the police, and then
started over to Leavenworth street
to get a street car to his home. On
the way to the car line, he espied an
automobile standing a short distance
away that appeared to be his own
and went over to look at it. fie found
an unrecognized man trying to start
the motor and inquired of him where
he had got the car. Whereupon tlje
unrecognized person struck Jensen
a blow in the face, and fled. In the
automobile was another young man
and a woman who also ran.
Jensen took after the woman and
brought her back to the car and
then drove down to the police station.
The woman gave s her , name and
address as Jennie Smith, 514 South
Twenty-second street, and is held
for investigation. .
She said she did not know the two
men were who had stolei tlia auto
mobile. One of them had come up to
her oorch. where she was sitting.
and had asked her to go riding. She
accepted, and was sitting in the car
when Jensen came upon the scene.

for Nos. 36 and 83, The freight was
taking the . siding south of the depot
nd the engineer of the passenger
train, thinking that he had a clear
trade, pulled out. The tjwo trains met

URIC ACID
An Enemy in Ambush
(By DR. M. C. LCCAS.) .
It was not until the discovery W
Sir Arthur Garrod in 1848 that the
blood of gouty patients contained uric
acid in an excessively large amount
that much attention was paid to this
subject. Later scientific men learned
that in gout (also true in. rheuma
tism) the kidneys do not work prop
erly to inrow, on me uric acid pois
on; consequently uric acid crystals
are deposited in and about the joints,
where an inflammation is set up in
me nearoy. tissues, wnen ior any
reason the circulation is sluggish, as
in the joints of the toes, crystals
formed from uric acid are deposited
there and one suffers from gout or,
when deposited in the tissues, one
suffers from muscular rheumatism
or articular rheumatism. My only
medicine to counteract the uric
acid and to throw it out of the sys
tem is tablets of Anuric (double
strength) three times a day. ,
The pain in - the back, lumbago,
pain in the neck, creakv joirtta, stiff
ness in muscles, have all been proven
to be caused by uric acid poison in
the blood and tissues.' The kidnevs
soon become diseased, then - ihere
often follows disease in the mus
cles of the heart y - v. - -;
" Kidney disease carries awaya
large percentage of our people. What
is to. be-alone? -, What can the ordi
nary person do to properly balance
bodily health? The answer is easy.
Eat less meat, eat coarse, olain food,
with plenty of vegetables, drink
plenty of water, between meals and
take ap uric-acid solvent before meals
for awhile, such as Anuric (double
strength), obtained at almost any
drug store. It was first discovered
by Dr. Pierce of the Surgical Institute
in Buffalo, N. Y. v Most every one
troubled with nrie acid ; finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water will dissolve sugar. Adv.
