commendable and should be recognized as
such by all square-deal advertisers. The
rebate business has no legitimate place In
the dealings OF the newspaper with It's ad-
vertisers. The time was, not so long ago
when the railroads believed they could not
hold their own in the competition for
frelghts without entering into private deals
with preferred customers, The evil was so
great affecting whole communities and en-
tire sections Of country so pernlciously,
that the strong arm OF the law, very gen
orally supported by newspapers, was in
voked to end the mischief. There is no
law TO prevent newspapers from practicing
favoriusm which some OF them resort TO
as a means of gaining advantage over com

defensible and directly harmful to adver-

Bee Biographies

The Bee has had a number of
inquiries from people to whom
blanks have been sent requesting
biographical data for our files.
The purpose of compiling this
information is exactly. what is
stated in the circular, namely, to
have readily available accurate
and reliable data of the personal
careers of men who are promi-
nent in the business and profess
sional life of the community.
The information desired is such
as would be used to write a brief
biographical sketch. There is no
hidden personal or political pur-
pose behind the questions which
should be answered only inso-
far as they apply to the person
addressed. The possession of
this information, however, will
on numerous occasions save
much time and trouble, both to
the newspaper and to the indi-
vidual, and a prompt response
will be greatly appreciated.

w ilSon Tells
Some of Plans
of Soil Survey
Department of Agriculture Has Com
prehensive Scheme for Work
in Western Nebraska.
CFrom a staff correspondent.l


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-(Speclal Tele-
ram)-Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson to-
DAY, outlining work mapped out for GER
tam bureaus OF the Department Of Agri-
culture next year, said that a soil survey
would be made Of the western part of Ne
braska and Kansas In the development Of a
plan comprehendlng the survey of the entire
United States
Last year the western half Of South Da-
kota was surveyed. as well as North pa
kota, and under the scheme adopted by the
bureau Of Soils surveying parties will go
into the southern states during the winter
months and into the northern and states
west Of the Missouri during the summer
months. 1t VIII be the purpose of these
urveying parties to examine the nature OF
.'e soils and their different formation.
Through the bureau of plant industry the
1artment has a dry land investigation
going on in eleven OF the western states and
help the people to use the right kind of
seeds and the right kind of culture.
These Investigations are going on from
the northern line Of the United States to
the Gulf Of Mexico. The people Of the De
partment Of Agriculture know well enough
that rain falls in some places in the regions
described, that they had sufficient rain last
year and that a great deal of rain fell west
Of the Tooth meridian, but meteorological
conditions show that there is not sufficient
rainfall at all times west of the Tooth
meridian, and it is for the purpose of giving
the people in that section OF the country
the best information obtalnable upon the
subject Of dry farming that these investiga-
ton parties are at work.
Secretary Wilson says that through his
agents in the foreign lands department he
has found crops in rainfall countries that
are at home in the regions above men,
toned. Durham wheat was the first OF
these finds 60,OOOOOO bushels of which is
the yield of this wheat for this year. But
no country can grow wheat all the time, a
legume being necessary to keep the soil
sweet and productive. Agents of the de-
partment are now making Investigations
with legumes that live in countries having
less than twenty inches of rainfall per
year, and just as soon as their worth is
proven they will be urged upon farmers
in dry land sections of the country.
New alfalfas and clovers have been found
in Siberia that the Department of Agricul-
turs believes viii solve the problem Of dry
farming. Western experimental stations
are hard a work upon demonstrations upon
these new legumes anu Secretary Wilson
sees no reason why their adoption should
not be made.

DODBINS CASE WITH JURY
Twelve Men Proceed to Dine Before
Starting Deliberations.
CASE LONG AND COMPLICATED
Charge of Judge Green to Jury IL
Regarded nH Giving Them a
Wide Latitude in First
Mike Trial.

The fate OF John r. Dobbins is now with
the Jury.
Dobbins was on trial on the charge of
larceny of $4,000 from T. w. Bsllew, a
millionaire and banker Of Princeton. Mo-,
who INDUCED in a typical Mabray race in
the conventional role of the Mike"
At 8 o'clock Monday afternoon II. w.
Byers, attorney general, concluded his
closing argument and the case was sub
mitted. The jury was taken out to dinner
by the bailiff and returned to the jury
room at the court house at 7:9O o'clock.
The Dobbins case has occupied Judge
Green's division of the district court since
Monday last. The testimony was long and
complicated. The question of conspiracy
entered largely into the larceny charge ac-
coIding to the ruling of the court and there
was much that differentiated the trial from
that of an ordinary larceny case.
Dobbins is the first Of the men charged
with part in the dealings Of the Mabray
gang to come to trial. II he should be
acquitted by the jury he will Immediately
be arrested by Deputy United States Mar
shal william Groneweg, who is waiting with
warrant from the federal court, where
the defendant has been indicted for con-
spiracy. There is yet standing against Dob
bins charge Of conspiracy in district court
at Council Bluffs. He has yet two more
ordeals to pass If acquitted by the jury
which has heard the larceny case.
Judge Green delivered a rather formal
charge to the jury and one which gave
the jurymen much latitude in reaching a
verdict.

The storm which wrecked Key
West and which may have wrought
wide havoc along the east coast of
Florida seems to have been one of the
fiercest known for many years. The
wonderful circumstance, considering
the terrific destruction of property
noted in the early reports, is the abb
sence of casualties and fatalities.
Property losses can be repaired in
time. but human beings killed or in
jured represent loss which can not
be made good to the community in
which 1t occurs.

the matter of air travel A member
of the Aero club in New York has
suggested that as some persons might
consider fight over their private prop
