| had business at Springview, Keya
Paha county and on reaching the town
! he asked for the latest newspaper
! when copy Of The News was handed
| to him, with the remark that the pa
per was generally taken there, as II
gave them six.hours later service
than any other paper that could reach
them. These are but samples of what
the paper Is doing, and they are not
unusual samples, either. Two years
ago the noon edition of The News was
started with considerable doubt as 10
what the outcome might be, because
1t was a venture that meant going
against strong competition from the
Omaha, Sioux City and Lincoln papers,
1t meant an increase of Office expense
OF practically $500 a month, with the
prospect that the venture might be a
failure. But 1t was found that the
Held was already ripe for just such a
paper as The News became. PeOple
in north Nebraska and South Dakota
towns who could only get morning
papers from the cities, which reached
them along toward night, felt the need
or something later, and they welcomed
the advent of noon edition of The
News. II Immediately jumped into
popular favor and has never waned
Instead of being an auxiliary to the
evening edition, as had been expected
the noon edition quickly became the
principal paper of the day. and now
twice as many subscribers are served
with this paper as there are with the
last edition.
For awhile, until revenues began to
accrue, the venture was mighty uphill
business and kept the excheuuer of
the Office at a low stage all the time.
but the past few weeks have demon
stratcd that the worst is over because
when people will put up their cash
for thing it proves conclusively that
they want it and that they will con
tinuc to want it.
The paper does not aspire to vol.
ume What it tries to do is to give as
much of the news of the world as is
possible in condensed form, an espe-
cial feature being made of late tele.
graph, markets and north Nebraska
and South Dakota news. The tyne
used is set closely together and a col |
umn of The News contains much more
than a column of any other daily in !
the state outside of Omaha and Lin |
coin. This is a fact that cannot be .
denied. There Is no daily in the state |
that does not pad out its matter with |
2-point leads and a great number of |
dashes, all of which fill space and
make little look to be much. The
News uses no 2.point leads in it's
make up except in editorials, uses as
.ew dashes as possible, all its matter
being set with 1-point waters, every.
hing being condensed in every pos
5ible manner. When it is considered
hat there are 1ilO points in an ordi-
lary column, it will readily be seen
hat the elimination of one from be
.ween each two lines of tyne means
in the way of consensation.
People who are interested in what
The News is doing are invited to visit
he press room of the paper any day
between 1880 and 10 o'clock and see
now many papers are turned out on
he fast press that is used to handle
he edition. Papers actually printed
md mailed come nearer telling the
story OF what the paper is doing than
my persons unverified statement.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY OF
BENJAMIN WARNER.
GRAND FATHER OF MRS. HASKELL
The Event Taking Place at Woodstock,
Connecticut, Today-CoI. Cotton Of
This City Knew the Centenaran
Well IN EARLY DAYS.

| 3 II
Today In far of Connecticut, there
Is being celebrated In the town of
Woodstock the one hundredth birth
day of Benjamin Warner the grand
father of Mrs. John d. Haskell OF
| Wakefield. Mrs Haskell before her
marriage was Miss Nellie Mathewson,
and at one time she taught in the
Norfolk schools the while living at
the home of Col S. s. Cotton. The
centennial celebration is being held
at the home Of Mr. Warmers daugh-
ter, Mrs William w. Mathewson.
Col Cotton received an invitation to
the festivities, which will be a great
event in the town of Woodstock Ben
jamin Warner was born in Woodstock,
July %, 1905, and has lived there con
tnuOusly since. He is known far and
wide throughout the country, and hun
wide througout that country, and hun.
drcds of his old friends will greet him
today and congratulate him upon at
tanning the age of IA centenarian. The
CrOwning ceremony of the day will be
at 3 o'clock, when Mr. Warner will
plant centennial oak During the
active years of his life he was n prog
rCssiyc farmer, and the land which he
titled industriously through many sea-
sons still belongs to him. He Is hale
and hearty, is still active in mind and
body, his mental faculties being as
clear as ever they were, appetite good,
Of n,l,y
walking every day half mile to the
postoflice. For the past few years he
has been taking trip to the seashore
every summer, which he has enjoyed
very much.
In 1882 he was married to Miss Sa-
rah Gazlay, who was born April 81,
1910. The couple lived happily togeth-
er and on October IS, 1902, they cele-
brated their SEVENTEEN anniversary.
A little more than month later on No
vember %, 1902, Mrs. Warner passed
away.
Col. Cotton used to know Mr.. War
ner very well. The Cotton house was
at Pomfret, an adjoining town to
and the two families used
to visit back and forth. In 1852 Col.
Cotton left the east and went to San
duslly, Ohio, where he was principal
of the high school for fifteen years.
Returning to Pomfret in 1867, he re-
maincd until 1881, when he removed
to this city, and has never been sorry
he came, as he says there is no better
place ON earth to live than right here
in Norfolk. He has been back to Con-
nccticut several times since he came
here, and has kept in close touch with
the old home. On these occasions he
has renewed acquaintance with Mr..
Warner Col. Cotton wishes he might
be present in Woodstock today to join
the other friends in their congratulate
tons, but as this is impossible he
sends his heartiest greetings and
wishes Benjamin Warner, the cente-
marian, many more years of life, hop
ing that he may retain health and
strength with which to enjoy them.

saving for seed. Send trusty woman ahead of the pickers at each picking time with instructions to DICK ohiy from marked stalks. Carefully spread the seed cotton until the end Of the season and be present when 1t IS ginned in December. Pay for these pickings day by day and not py weight If this plan is carried out the crop will improve at least ID per cent. each year, which means net profit of several dollars per acre. inc writer used $6 seed bred up m tn,s way on fine land with best cultivation and picked from four measured acres 4So0 pounds of lint. which was l2oo pounds of lint per acre Every stalh was perfect and of same size.
 One cause of the low price Of cotton during the past twenty years has been that an extra million bales have been raised every year for the purpose or paying for bread, meat and hay brought from the northwest which should have been produced at home by the cotton growers. If this million bales could have been turned into actual hay, grain and pork and Tn that way destroyed as cotton the damase would have been less. But when the extra million bales that should not have been produced were added to the needed nine million bales the entire ten only brought what the nine would have sold for, and the farmer lost at both ends and also paid freight and commission. No wonder he has kept poor, The remedy is plant fewer acres in cotton, increase the yield per acre by using better seed and do not pro- duce the extra tenth bale to swap TOT bread and meat.

A Few Cautions--Cracked corn must he sifted. for fine meal cannot be used by the birds and in hot muggy wealth CT 1t will sour over night, necessttat- ing extra trouble in cleaning out the troughs. Be sure that every grain is sound and strictly rfrst-class Do not fed new wheat until it Is thorough ly dry, usually not sooner than Octo- ber 1. and do not feed new corn until Christmas Especially avoid musty grain.
 How the Squabs are Fed-Some wonder why sduabs die in the nest or get on the floor or do not fatten up properly. Very frequUntly the reason is simply because the old birds are not properly fed. We should constant ly bear in mind that suuab Is very different from a chick. A newly hatch ed chick can run about and help itself to food and water. The squab, on the other hand, is utterly helpless at birth; 1t is unable to walk and must be fed In the nest with whatever the parent bird brings to it. For about five days na- ture provides a special food commonly called pigeon milk" a creamy sub- stance contained in the crops of the pigeons and which they have the power to eject from their mouths into the mouths of their tender young. After a few days of such feeding the squab is fed on such grains as the pigeon gets, and by the same process of trans fer from the parents mouth to its own. hence, 1t is essential that proper food be given the pigeons.
 Cost Of Feeding-With wheat at SN cents bushel. sifted cracked corn at Sl per hundred weight Kaffir corn at go cents per bushel. millet at 90 cents' hemp at s1.sO and peas at sl.lO per bushei. the cost will be one-seventh of cent day for each bird. or about 52 cents year. Feeding at such cost have never failed 10 realize an an nual net return of $I.50 per pair but was never able to secure such re- turns when feeding steadily on wheat and corn diet
 Watering--A generous supply of fresh. pure water for drinking pur- poses should be supplied The flock should be watered each morning be- fore the supply of feed is given. Two gallon stone fountains may be used In summer and saIvapized iron ones In winter. These fountains are placed on the floors of the pens, oas to. saeh pen being sufneient They should ba
