MRS. JAY RESIGNS
The Popular and Faithful Librarian

To the great surprise and extreme
regret of the board of directors of
the Carnegie Public Library, In ses-
sion last night. Mrs. Almeda n. JAY
who has been librarian of the insti-
tuition since It's establishment in this
city about five years and half ago.
rendered her resignation of the po-

The cause leading up to the resig-

health of Mrs. Jay for the past year
The board heard the announcement
with the very deepest regret, as Mrs
Jay has been more than a librarian
in having the work so near to her
heart
1t was through the efforts of Mr5
Jay that the appropriation and gifts
of Andrew Carnegie were first secur-

wards secured. Her work can never
be duplicated. as it was her hearts

The resignation of Mrs. Jay Will
take effect January 1st.
Every effort was made to make
Mrs. Jay reconsider her determina-
uon TO resign, which she said IL
had taken her a long time to decide
to do, but she felt that the condition
of her health necessitated that she
do so.
Always will Mrs. Jays work in con-
nection with the public library be
held in the very best memory of those
who have been associated with her on
the board of directors.

lecture was shown by the farmers.
The fact is apparent, the soil lee
turers insist, that in many parts of
Nebraska the soil will no longer pro-
duce as large crops as formerly when
the land was newer. The longer the
soil has been cropped the more ap-
parent is this loss of fertility.
The soil constituent which has been
reduced by this cropping is the vege-
table mould, or humus. In a prairie
soil fairly welk supplied with humus
there will be about S1a per cent of
black mold, or humus, whereas SIM
liar soil long cultivated without the
application of fertilizing material will
show the presence of only about a
third as much. This renders the soil
less productive both because of the
lack of an element entering very large
ly into plant production, but also be-
cause soil poor in humus is less able
to absorb and hold moisture than a.
hunus-rich soil. The poorer soil loses
disproportionately, therefore, in time
of drouth
Barnyard manure added to the soil
and plowed under restores this ele-
ment, but there are few farms in Ne
braska that produce enough barnyard
manure to keep up the humus supply.
Then, too, in many parts of the state
there is too little rainfall to insure
the rotting of the manure which
means that III the drier years the
MANFRED soils will dry out badly,
causing the crops to fire from drouth.
To keep up the fertility and drouth-
resisting quality of Nebraska soil, it
is contended, it will be necessary to
grow crops which produce more humus
than they consume. The grasses.
clover, and alfalfa are recommended
as such crops.
This latter poit is given emphasis
by the experiment station lecturers.
The future of Nebraska soil, they are
convinced, must depend upon the
readiness with which the farmers
adopt hay and pasture crops, making
live stock and dairy products much
more prominent factor in agricultural
production than is the case at present.

Said to be Waverinu

The state department has had moth
ing official confirmatory of the report
that the German government is about
to adopt some measure calculated to
postpone the application of the max
1mnm German tariff duties on United
States ifports March 1. But communi-
cations from unofficial sources and
close study of the trend of the Ger
man economic press have afforded
ground for the belief that as the day
approaches which would mark the be-
ginning of a tariff war with the
United States, spirit of unrest and
uneasiness is developing in Germany.
1t appears also that the governing
class would welcome any arrange
ment that would avert such a war if
it could be done without blow to
German pride.
