My crates are made from one-half

They are made thus: the ends which

spaces should be about three-fourths

has been properly put together and
well nailed you will have a firm and

Mine have been in use for ten years
and are in fairly good condition yet.
They have been lent to my customers
and have had lots of hard usage.

A TALK ABOUT ONIONS.
Profit of the Crop Depends Upon
sound Seed and Rapid Opera
- tiOns in harvesting.

If we have had the right seed, a
good season, and if our crop was
sown just right for thickness there
should be but few scallions and the
whole crop should ripen at the same
time. About September 1 it should
be ready for the harvest. BY all
means leave them until you can pull
the tops off with the fingers without
much effect. The tools necessary for
the harvest in the old way are the
hands only. The tools used by me
are wheel hoe with circular cut
ter, fine toothed wooden rake, plenty

One Of the bills recommended for
passage by the lower house Of the
legislature is house roll No. 30, enti-
tied "An Act to Provide Cheaper Text
Books and for District Ownership Of
tine Same" A much more appropriate
title for this bill would be an act TO
aid the school book trust in unloading
a few carloads Of school books upon the
people Of Nebraska.
The bill in question is very brief, but
its wording is both ingenious and
catchy. Section 1 empowers and makes
it the duty Of district school boards and
boards Of education in cities Of the
first, second and metropolitan classes
and trustees OF high school districts TO
purchase all text books necessary for
the schools in their districts, and they
are further authorized to enter into a
contract with school book publishers for
a term Of years, not exceeding five, pro-
vided that the contract price of such
books shall not exceed the lowest price
then guaranteed to any dealer, or other
individual or corporation in the United
States, to be determined "as hereinafter
provided" and furthermore that such
contract shall guarantee to such dis
trict any further reduction that may be
granted elsewhere during the life of
such contract.
Inasmuch as the bill is abruptly cut
short without any hereinafter provision,
nobody can guess just how any dis
pute about prices arising after the pur-
chase of the books is to be determined.
The darkey in that woodpile is, how
ever, easily discernible. The bill is
nothing more nor less than an act to
make compulsory the purchase and dis
tribution of free text books in every
school district in Nebraska from the
kindergarten to the highest grade in
the high school.
The Limitation Of contracts to five
years is a palpable decoy. It's practical
effect will be the dumping Of five years
school book supplies into every district
b school board can be worked by
the trust agents into forestalling the
wants Of the district by four years
This will readily be done on the plea
that an order for five years supply
will insure lower rates than al order
for one year and the cllncher for the
bargain will be the clause in the con
tract that will allow the board to ex
change out-of-date books for new ones
Such a deal looks very tempting on tn,
face, but will in the end leave tn,
school districts at the mercy Of thu
trust, which gets much the best of tn,
bargain in securing a five years guar
anty of patronage, getting the none!
in advance and taking the chance o
the books being worn out, damaged O
destroyed before the FIVE years are up.

AN 1MERIcAN yAvY LrAeur.


Several European countries have navy
leagues and one has just been incor-
porated in New York, with General
Benjamin F. Tracy, former secretary
of the navy, as its president, with a
number of other prominent citizens as
members. The purposes of the league
are to spread before the people the con-
dition of the naval forces and equip
ment Of the United States and to
awaken public interest and cooperation
in all matters tending to aid, improve
and develop their efficiency. The league
will publish a paper and the intention
is to secure members in all parts of the
country.
The question of building up our navy
is commanding a great deal of interest
and there appears to be a very general
public sentiment favorable to mate
rally strengthening the sea power of
the United States. This Is shown in
the expressions of a number of state
legislatures and indeed there is rarely
to be found any opposition to maintain
ing the policy Of naval construction.
There may be difference of opinion as to
how far this should be carried, but
there are very few who do not think
that a very considerable addition should
be made to the present force, in order
to assure security for our remote pos
sessions, our m and our rights
and interests everywhere. The fact
that the United States is now fourth OF
fifth in naval rank, so far as the mum.
Der and tonnage Of ships is concerned
and that European countries are steadily
strengthening their power at sea, seems
to make 1t imperatively necessary that
this country shall not yet halt the
work of building up its navy. 1t is not
necessary that we enter into rivalry in
this direction with any other nation
but simply that we 20 not allow our.
selves to be so outstripped as to fall tC
the rear of all of them. Within a few
years our interests have been greatly
extended and our relations with the
rest Of the world much enlarged. II
is impossible to foresee what compiled
tons the future may have in store, bur
it is the part of wisdom to be prepared
for any exigency that may arise
Doubtless the navy league will prov,
to be a useful organization.

The public has long been more or less
familiar with the audacity of the com
binations and trusts within the sphere
OF their business operations. 1t has

which they have crushed competition

knows that they have exacted rebates
from the railroads in contravention of
the law, thereby enabling them to drive
others out of business. 1t is well I'M
derstOod, also, that the influence of the
combinations has been insidiously and
persistently exerted TO prevent legisla-
ton for the protection OF the public
against their evils aud abuses.
All this has been lone with a degree
Of secrecy. The trusts have carried

senators Of the United States not to
enact antitrust legislation It is a
startling disclosure and will strengthen
and intensity the antitrust yentiment
Of the country as nothing else could
have done. Its audacity is, so far as we
know, unprecedented. We do not re-
call any attempt to influence legislators
so bold and brazen as this. Rockefeller's
appeal is not alone for the trust Of
which he is the head, but for all Of
them. Finding futile their secret and
insidious efforts to defeat legislation,
they openly, through the head of the
parent trust, say to United States SEN
ators that antitrust legislation must be
stopped.
There should be no question as to the
answer to this most insolent appeal.
The bills that have passed the senate
and the house-the Elkins and the Lit
tlefield measures-should be enacted
without delay. The country will ex-
.pect this and it seems safe to say that
10 member of either house will now
oppose these measures, which are ac-
ceptable to the administration and will
be an important step toward a proper
and adequate supervision and regula-
ton of the combinations. The trust
magnates will find, it can be confidently
predicted, that in their audacious at
tempt to defeat the popular will they
have committed an ~irrepRrable mistake.
They should have been satisfied with the
conservative policy recommended by
President Roosevelt and embodied in
the measures before congress. This
policy would work no injury to any
corporation that is complying with ex-
listing laws and dealing fairly and hon
estly with the public. If now the de
mand for more drastic legislation shall
become stronger and more intense,
which is very probable, the combina-
tons may realize that hi~gh-handed at
tempts to control legislation and dictate
the policy of the government respecting
them will not be tolerated by the Amer
lean people.

WEARY OF FOLLY.
Vermont Turns from Prohibition Co
Local Option.
St Louis Globe-D Democrat

st. Louis Globe-Depocrat.
The cause Of prohibition received a
heavy blow in the triumph OF the local
option idea in the election which has Just
taken place in Vermont. Prohibition has
been in operation in Vermont for Just half
a century. The Maine law called thus
from the state in which Il originated, was
adopted in Vermont in 1852, and has been
theoretically in force ever since. Some op-
position was made to Il early in its days,
and this has been growing in strength.
The triumph OF the license candidate for
governor in the election last September, in
the most exciting contest which Vermont
had known since the civil war days, fore
Swallowed the overthrow OF prohibition,
which has now come in the special cleo
tion on that issue which was ordered by
the Legislature.
AS in all the rest Of the states in which
prohibition has prevailed, under constitu-
tional provision or by statute, the inter-
dict had been evaded in many places in
Vermont, especially in the larger centers.
majority against prohibition in the
election just held is small, but it repre-
sents a movement which has steadily been
growing, and which will probably soon be
overwhelming, Under the system which
mas hOH DSen adopted py the people, All
Vermont's towns and cities, after March
1. 1903, will be permitted to decide, by
votes Of their citizens, whether or not in
t%oxicants shall be sold in them. There is
no doubt that most of them will declare in
favor of the sale, under restrictions and a
high license.
OF the large number of states which, at
one time and another, AVE had prohibit
ton, by constitution or act Of the legis-
%lature, only FIVE have been ~left-Malne,
New Hampshire. Vermont, Kansas and
North Dakota-in recent years, and YER
mont now drops out of the list. Maine,
the first state which adopted it, did this
in 1851. Vermont followed it's example in
1852, New Hampshire in 1855, Kansas in
1851 and North Dakota in 1889. other
states than those here mentioned had pro-
hibition for a few years, but abandoned 1t,
as Vermont now does. Neal Dow, in the
closing years of his life, had lost faith in
the efficacy of his policy Of liquor exclu-
sion, and most Of his old disciples who are
still alive are evidently beginning to be
skeptical about 1t. The chances are that
even in Maine and Kansas the days OF
prohibition will not now be long in the land.
