impossible to estimate the amount spent on

marked in one corner. The monogram or

in district court by Matt Miller. her at

America, for 5000. the value OF a policy
held by her husband in the order.
The reason for the transfer OF the suit
to Douglas county is said to be the feeling
aroused by gthe murder OF Lille and the
trial at which Mrs. Lille was convicted.
The order has refused 20 pay the policy
on the grounds Mrs. Lille was convicted
Of killing her husband. and should not

Danties for children.

For a childrens luncheon peach blossoms
and narcissus combine very prettily for
decoration. The pussy willows may be
substituted for the peach blooms, as chill
dren are very fond of them, but the color
effect is not so pretty. A rabbit a chicken
and colored egg should be at each place,
and an individual basket OF flowers will be
much appreciated. The menu must, Of
course, be simple but everything should be
in as attractive a form as possible. The
ice cream may be frozen in the form Of a
flower or OF some animal; the cakes should
be Of fanciful design, and II there are
several surprises the boys and girls will
be nightly pleased. One OF these espe-
cially appropriate to the day consists of
innocent looking eggs from which the egg
has been extracted, the shells being hlled
with maple wax. One can get this from the
maple sugar regions

NEW LAW FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
Eject of Some of the Re-
cent Statutes.

The law enacted by the legislature pro-
viding for the Introduction Of normal train
ing courses in high schools Is endorsed by
County Superintendent Yoder as a measure
OF great Importance to country schools
THE new law will be a great benefit to
the country schools, especially in the west
ern part OF The state" said Mr.. Yoder,
because it will provide a supply OF trained
teachers for the rural districts. At present
practically all OF the teachers, who have
had training in normal schools go into the
town and city schools, leaving the rural
schools in charge Of unframed teachers,
The high school normal classes will un-
doubtedly make up this lack OF trained
teachers for the country school
The King bill providing for free high
school privileges for all school children in
the state is also very important measure
Under It children from districts without
high schools can attend high schools in
other districts and his tuition will betaxed
up against his district The bill also pro
vides for an inspection OF high schools

CROPS ALONG BURLINGTON
First Report for the Season Shows Very
Encouraging Condition.
WINTER WHEAT IN SPLENDID SHAPE
Seeding for Spring Crops Under Way
and Flowing for Corn IL Well
Advanced, with Fruit and
Potatoes Promising Well.

The FIRST weekly crop report for Ne
braska prepared by the Burlington Is out
and shows that abundant moisture during
the autumn and early winter has kept the
soil In fair condition. The winter wheat
crop has gone through the winter in good
shape in all parts OF Nebraska, and is in
good condition at this time The acreage
is about the same as last year on the Lin
coin and Wymore division, but Is consid-
erably larger on the McCook division. The
report says no damage OF any kind has
occurred to the crop from any pest or I'm
sect nor from unfavorable weather con-
dtions.
Not much spring wheat has been sown.
but I'm parts the acreage Of oats is quite
large and considerable barley has been
planted. The acreage on spring wheat and
oats IL about the same as last year.
Flowing for corn has progressed we'll on
the Wymore division and considerable has
been done on the McCook division. Very
little has been done on the Lincoln divi-
sion. The ground is generally in such CON
dition as TO be tillable.
Minor Crops About Same.
About the usual crop OF potatoes has OF
will be planted. The reports say there
are not many places In Nebraska where
potatoes cut very much hgure in farming
operations. Pastures are well advanced
and In eastern Nebraska are producing
ample food for stock, which generally win
tered well and Is everywhere in good con-
dltion.
1T Is a little early to make predictions
on sugar beets. but prospects are the
acreage will be lower, due to dissatisfaction
OF the farmers In connection with last
gears contracts with the sugar beet peo-
pie.

so plentiful that they made the water

Aprons as well as frocks differ in smart
ness and while they are primarily useful,
their general appearance should also be
considered inasmuch as the activities OF
youth demand that they form so important
a part of the wardrobe. A pleasing little
apron, which is simply made and most
practical is sketched in hope that IT will
give suggestion to mothers, who fashion
such garments. The yolIe-band forms the
shoulder straps and may be OF two-inch

THE OLD MOVING LAND.

One of our most serious problems
Is the best treatment to give to old
fields and pastures which have fot
years been producing more or less
grass, usually less, and where conai-
tions at the present time are not sat
isfactory. If these lands can possibly
be put under tillage for year or two,
there is no other treatment which
would prove of greater benefit. Tho
soil is packed and needs ventilation,
and the plant food which 1t contains
has become inert, and it needs the re-
viving influence OF sunlight and air
to sweeten 1t and bring it into proper
condition again.
But many OF our New England fields
are so rocky and rough that to bring
them under tillage cannot be consid-
cred. There are few things which
can be done, even under these condi-
tions. A test should be made to de-
termine IL the soil is acid. This test
As very simple and consists in press
ing a bit of blue litmus paper against
the moist soil, being careful not to
press the fingers against the paper.
II the paper turns red, 1t indicates
that the soil is acid. Such soil should
receive a topdressing of lime; about
forty bushels per acre, distributed
evenly over the soil, either in the fall
CT early spring, will tend to remove
these acid cond.tions.-Prof. L. A.

COURT MAY APPOINT RECEIVER
Highly Probable That Government
Will Bring Criminal Action Against
Some of Defendants Named in
Complaint Filed by Special Assist
ant Attorney General Against the
Corporation.

New York, special-James c. Me-
Reynolds, the Special Assistant At
torney General appointed to prose-
cute the so-calIed tobacco trust, de-
elared Wednesday after filing the
complaint in the case that the ques-
ton whether he would urge the court
to appoint receiver for the various
companies would depend entirely up
on the evidence secured from the wit
nesses summoned upon lis complaint.
He said also that criminal prosecu-
ton of some of the defendants he
named in the complaint is highly
probable and that the Sherman law,
under which this action is brought,
makes conspiracy in restraint of
trade n criminal offensc. A signif-
cant feature Of the complaint fi!c;l
by Mr.. McRcynolds is the waiver by
him Of the right Of demanding an
sW ers under oath from corporations
and individuals named as defendants
in his complaint, as the making Of
such answer under oath might con-
fer immunity from prosecution.
The individuals named as dcfen-
dants and named as witnesses are
James B. Duke, president of the Am
erican Tobacco Company; John B.
Cobb, president Of the American Ci-
gar Company, William K. Harris,
chairman of the board of managers
