Irrigation Project
Being Developed in
ScottS Bluff County
Lincoln. Dec. 8 (Special Tele
gram) Will M. Maupin, publicity
commissioner of the state, has this
to say about a new-irrigation pro
ject being formed in Scotts Bluff
county. "It embraces 71,000 acres in
Scotts Bluff county, and the water
is to be supplied by the Gering-Ft.
Laramie unit of the Pathfinder irri
gation project. This unit will irri
gate about 80,000 acres in eastern.
Wyoming and about 75,000 acres in
western Nebraska. The government
is expending about $7,000,000 011
this unit, and expects to have it
fully completed in time to provide
water for the 1920 crop. The com
pletion of this unit means a wonder
ful impetus to the development of
the Genng country and an immense
enlargement of the sugar beet in
dustry. "The three sugar factories in the
North Platte valley, at Scottsbluff.
Gering and Bavard, are manufactur
ing between 8,000 ana 9,000 bags of
;ugar a day, each bag containing
100 pounds net. Nebraska's total
sugar production this campaign will
be around 125,000,001) pounds.
"The news from Washington that
an embargo is to be placed upon
German potash means the further
development of Nebraska's potash
industry. Nebraska sugar aiul pot
ash will aggregate close to $40,000,
000 a year, and increased irrigated
areas and an embargo on German
potash means a furtheo enlargement
of these giant industries,"
Wayne State Normal School
The opening of -4he second quarter
brtnps an increase in attendance of 25.
These are almost altogether boys and
girls from thfl country districts. New
classes were organized to accommodate
the special need. A large attendance of
this character has been a marked feature
of the Wayne normal, though somewhat
interrupted last year by the war.
The chapel service Tuesday morning
was rendered rotable by tla,, appearance
of the S. A. T. C. band. The young muaf
ctans acquitted themselves exceedingly
well. Trofcssor Coleman, who is drill
master, is greatly Interested in this
phase of work and is entitled to much
praise for the success of this Initial ap
pearance. At the same meeting, Presi
dent Conn spoke to the young men con
cerning tha opportunity to attend school
after demobilization. He1 urged that all
continue their education somewhere. An
inspector from the War department said
that the discipline here was excellent,
being far superior to that prevailing in
many schools.
A most pleasing event was the recep
tion to the S. A. T. C boysand their lady
friends by Lieutenant and Mrs. B. J.
Brooks on Thursday evening. About 8
o'clock the boys assembled at the barracks
of the gentler sex. Some of the girls
were temporarily demobilized and relieved
from duties there. After all had gathered
In the gymnasium the evening nfgames,
contests and dancing began. There wis
not a dull moment from the beginning
to end of the program. Contests by repre
sentatives from the several allied nations
brought forth great merriment and en
thusiasm. After light refreshments had
been served Sergennt Clayton blew his
whistle and the soldiers lined up in com
pany formation on one side of the room
and tha young ladles on, the other. Then
Lieutenant Brooks and his charming wift,
"Captain" Brooks, were presented with a
$53 silver set as a token of high esteem
by the S. A. T. C. boys. Marion Grothe
acted for tho company in presenting the
gift. This was followed by a speech by
the lelutenant. It Is with deep regret, said
I-leutenant Brooks, that he must leave
the unit here and see it demobilized. On
the other hand -the boys are indeed re
luctant to bS disbanded from a company
at the head of which has been suth a
pleasing 2nd capable officer as Lieutenant
Brooks.

guardianship for the new countries
which are to be carved out of the
old in Europe a league of nations is
needed, Willianf H. Taft said in an
address here before the League for
Political Education.
"It is only through a league of
some power that will restrain inter
national friction between these
young nations and the countries out
of which they have been carved that
we can make the experiment of
teaching government in 10 or 12
places," Mr. Taft Said. "These young
nations will need help and guardian
shipof a stronger power, a kindly
father who will spank them when
they depart from the rules laid down
for them. If we'ereate out of those
dominions we have conquered 10 or
12 or 14 new nations, it will not
make for peace, but war will be cer
tain, 'unless we create a league of
nations, whose duty it shall be to
maintain peace."

PEOPLE OF EAST ,
MACEDONIA ARE
Greeks and Serbians Who Suf-,
fered Pillage and Murder
Demand Bulgarians
Be Crushed.
Saloniki, Nov. 22. (Correspond
ence oi. The Associated Press.)
Greeks and Serbians in eastern
Macedonia, who suffered pillagei
persecution, deportation and mur
der at the hands of Bulgars before
the armiest of the former King Fer
dinand quit the country ' under the
terms of an armistice, are exhibit
ing dissatisfaction over what they
term the indulgence of the entente
powers toward Bulgaria.
With fully 42,000 of their number
deported, half of whom, it is be
lieved, died under the hardships im
posed upon them, the Macedonian
natives are demanding, according
to a Renter correspondent who
toured the liberated territory, that
the Bulgarians be crushed by tradi
tional Balkan methods. During the
period of occupation the Bulgaria;
proved themselves "brutes and past
master in acts of spoilation and vio
lence," said the correspondent, and
when appeals for relief were made
to' the German authorities no atten
tion was paid to them.
Entering Macedonia as friends,
under an understanding with former
King Constantine of Greece, the
Bulgarians established a reign of
terror, which has been characterized
as a disgrace to civilization. Thev
imposed upon the population a ra
tioning system which ".resulted in
the starvation of many, '.following
with assessments of taxes and seiz
ure of provisions to an exten that
impoverished the country. Their fol
lowed wholesale executions , iid
crimes against men. women and
girls of the most revolting charac
only 5,000 persons remain of 25,000
living in the city whn the Greeks '
turned it over to the Bulgars. The
population of Demin Hassir fell
from 12,000 to 2,300, and in Kavala
8,000 to 9tff00 persons died of star
vation alone in 1917, while in 916
deaths numbered 30 a day, largely
from malnutrition. In these and
smaller cities the Bulgars not only
confiscated the bulk of the food
stuffs, but forced the ablebodied in- .
habitants to work for the invaders
and carried awayrast quantities of
agricultural implements and furni
ture. Joy in Macedonia over the with
drawal of the Bulgars is exhibited
by inscriptions on many street cor- '
tiers reading, "Christor Anesti,"
(Christ is Risen), while the Hellenic
army of liberation is received every
where with enthusiastic acclaim.'
