Bumper Wheat Crop Is
Ant icipated in This
State, Rail Men Say
The eastern, southern and central
portions of Nebraska got one to
four inches of snow Thursday, and
today over most of the area tem
peratures are ranging from 20 to 36
decrees above zero.
The snow is disappearing, the
ground is thawing up and it is said
That the country roads are in next
to impassable condition.
.""ai "flad men in from out in the
state insert that the recent cold
spell has held back the winter
wheat, stopping the growth that
commenced during the warm weath
er. ,of January and early February,
and that now conditions are ideal
for a bumper crop.
Wheat fields throughout the
southern part of the state have tak
en on their spring green and as soon
as warm weather sets in, which is
expected within the next few days,
a rapid growth is anticipated.

No. 129.
The love of lovers will express it
lelf. Its expression should be gov
erned by a sane knowledge of hu
man nature and morale conviction.
There are many natural and inno
cent channels through which love
can express itself, such at the look
of the eye, the flush of the face, the
tone of the voice, and words and
phrases, gifts, acts of gallantry and
courtesy. Love is an inventive gen
ius. It never woot and wins twice
in the same manner. A whole month
of courtship may be accomplished
in the gift of a rose.
Love possesses a language pe
culiarly its own.
Its power of communication is not
confined to vocal expression or
physical mediums.
If true lovers are aeparated by
months of time and anon, love anni
hilates time and space in its swift
and mysterious movements, bringing
lovers blissfully and consciously to
gether. This is love.
No. 135
Love is the divine power invested
in mortals to the end that all their
works might be great and good. It
is the guardian of our civilization,
the foundation of all lasting peace
and happiness; it is an inexhaust
able storehouse of tolerance, kind
ness and generosity.
Love is the insistent, compelling
force behind the masterpieces of
art and science of all time; it is nojj
to be turned aside from its object
ive. Love is the spirit of unselfishness,
dominatinp: and filling its hosts with
the desire to be of service to others-
Love is a passion for giving.
No. 520.
dream that

Love is a
fair,
Love is contentment everywhere,
Love is like a whisper, so soft and
still.
Yet love speaks louder than words
can tell.
Love is the surest conqueror of
strife,
Love is the safest guide in life,
Love of a mother never dies,
Love of country is human pride.
Love is in smiles and love is in
tears.
Love is comfort and Godly cheer,
Love of a home is the blessing of

"What is love?" Ah, let me tell
you: lis a teeiing so intense that
it oft destroys the reason, rends to
tatters common sense; yet' our
lives are naught without it. Tit a
glimpse of heaven above and it
either makes or mars us, does this
feeling we call love. Qloted.
No. 528.
Love is the expression by word or
action of the highest, holiest emo
tion of which man is capable.
Love is the fulfilling of the law
which teaches us to do unto others
as we would that they should do
unto us.
No. 532.
Were I to live for a thousand
years, or until "the sands of the des
ert grow cold," I nor anyone else
could "give a full definition of love.
Perhaps some have a few better
ways of expressing it, but in my
way first. Love is "the great de
sire," the nucleus around which is
wound the world's teachings or
morality. It is "God's masterpiece,"
for what is more wonderful than the
love of maid for man? It is the si
lent but strong "guardian angel" of
us all, for it is the shameful feeling
toward our loved ones that controls
our acta and bids us to do right,
welding solidly the "links in the
chain that binds us to our destiny."
A few of the best definitions for
love are:
"God's masterpiece."
"The great desire."
"The links of destiny."
"God is love."
"The uncontrollable."
This, dear editor, is the best I
can do, for you only give -us 200
words to write of the most wonder
ful thing on earth.
No. 540.
Love is a state of the mind and
heart that makes us happy. It
makes us treat our fellow men with
respect, kindness, thoughtfulness,
and unselfishness.
Ruskin say: "A person who loves
is industrious and modest."
Love is the good in us. We in
herit it from our first ancestors.
In the Garden of Eden all was love
until satan tempted Eve.
Love is the one thing that makes
the flowers seem more fragrant, the
birds' songs sweeter, and the sun
shine brighter.
Last, but not least,"the holy book
says "God is love."
No. 364.
Someone to love and be kind to,
Someone whose faults you'd be"
blind to.
Someone in trouble to fly to,
Someone to love and not try to,
Someone to struggle and strive for,
Someone you're glad you're alive
for,
Someone you'd do any task for,
Someone you'd give and not ask for,
Someone you'd climb earth's heights
with,
Someone you never would part
with,
But would dwell in the land of the
heart with that's love I
No. 544.
Pure love is without selfishness,
for no love can be pure when cloud
ed by selfishness. If a mother gives
a son to our country in time of war
unselfishly and uncomplainingly,
that is love. A heart without love
is an iceberg, freezing all it comes
in contact with and would soon
make our world a desolate place.
The infant's cradle could have no
charm unless rocked by the tender
hands of love. A mother whose
heart is full of love ia all tender
ness and gentleness and she imparts
this sunshine and gentleness to her
child. We all admire a beautiful
tree with its symmetrical limbs and
green foliage, but stripped of its
limbs it loses its beauty just, as a
heart stripped of all love loses all
interest in our country and man-,
kind and sees no justice or mercy
in any of our laws. Love it heaven
upon earth, for without love this
earth would be a desolation. God
first put limbs on the trees to give
them beauty and proportion. He
put love in the human heart to
bring joy and sunshine and laugh
ter. Love il a jewel that keeps the
heart pure and unselfish.
No. 555.
Love, an affectionate hunger, ex
pressed by word, sentiment, or self
sacrifice, of the opposite sex, satis
fied in bliss, and makes two one;
unrequited is grief; ot self alone is
misery: of sin is death (separation
from God); of righteousness, after
our sins are washed away in Jesus'
blood, is life and peace; of nature,
a well of delight in the soul; of
friends, the tie that binds; of chil
dren, trust and confidence: of moth-,
er or paternal, that which puts self
aside in any way to truly advance
the offspring, and clings when oth
ers fail; of God, that takes up when
father and, mother forsake.
Greater love than this hath no
man, that a man lay down h's life
for his friend, yet Jesut sacrificed
his life, and God his son, that reb
els, if they choose, may be spared
just punishment..
God's indwelling spirit enables us
to give a life of service and practice
the golden rule, or love, even
toward our enemies, for God is love,
and good done for love, not for
hope of gain, brings its own reward.
"If a man love God he will keep his
commandments." i
Love, God's great, everlasting in
fluence, cannot be realized unless
lived.

No. 319.
Love is that invisible sunshine
which is sent forth by the heart,
when one comes in contact with a
person whose moral, mental and
physical qualities are interesting.
Disagreement of Jury Costs
More Than Object of Suit
A jury was out all day Thursday
trying to decide a suit involving $45
in District Judge Redick's court. At
5 o'clock the jury reported that it
could not agree on a verdict and
was discharged. The suit was that
of J. D. McCarthy against Gus Kes-
singer. McCarthy sold a horse to
Kessinger about a year ago for $40.
It was a spotted horse, 12 years old.
Kessinger paid $25 of the pur
chase price and was to oav the other
$15 in two weeks. McCarthy says
he failed to pay the $15, started re
plevin proceedings in the Benson
justice court and secured the return
of the animal. . The salary of the
12 jurymen for their services Thurs
day amounted to $26. Witness fees
and salaries of the judge and court
attaches brought the cost of the
suit to much more than the amount
involved. The litigants say they
will continue the fight in the courts.
Wife. Asking Divorce, Says
Her Husband Was "Peevish"

that he displayed a peevish, hot

and that he left her, at one time, for
a period of seven weeks."

Lyman Anderson, arrested for the
alleged violation of the Harrison
drug act, was released on a $1,500
bond Friday after a hearing before
United States Commissioner Nealey.
Anderson was taken into custody
Thursday after, according to offi
cers, he had sold cocaine and mor

Testifying before Commissioner
Nealey, Anderson said that he never
sold drugs but used them himself.
He admitted of having a large quan
tity, of drugs in his room at all
times.
Used Drugs for 11 Years.
"Eleven years ago," Anderson said",
"one of my feet was crushed in a
railroad accident. At that time I
took drugs to kill the pain. I have
been taking drugs ever since and at
the present time I am taking a daily
dose of 30 grains.

me unfitted for any kind of work
