the platform conventions held by the
several parties three weeks ago Be-
cause OF the lack Of contests for the
prominent places on the republican

for the democratic nomination for
governor are James c. Dahlman,
mayor of Omaha, and G. 0. Lobeck,
former comptroller of the same city.
While the democratic as well as the
republican platforms remained silent
on the liquor question, the candidates

of them are content to live in the faith
that they will receive their reward in
Heaven. Such men, ministering
throughout this life to the afflicted and

wouldn't it be fairer to them, to their
families and to ourselves if they got a
larger proportion of their pay or earth

There is another side to it. Fully 80
per cent of the men who are ministers
of the gospel could make a comfortable
living in some other profession, even
though they have fitted themselves for
that particular calling. Certainly they
could earn more than comfortable
living if they had expended the same

giving attention to this subject, but the
Germans have elevated it to a science.
This is but natural when one consid-
ars that in Europe every square foot OF
ground must be made to produce as
much food as possible in order that the
problem of feeding the multitude of
non food producing people may not be-
come too acute.
| The Germans aim not only to double
the size of their crops per acre but tell
the rest of the world that they intend

four fold. The secret for which the
Germans are searching is that of the
proper proportion of chemical fertilizer
needed to supply food for the increased
number of plants 1t has been settled
that artificial fertilizers are the proper
agent to bring about the desired end
in that country and the question has
narrowed down to the matter of prop
or proportion.
In America, and especially in New
England where farm lands have been
used longer than in the rest of the
country, application of the results of
these German experiments will doubt
