Lately camping has come to be recog-

camping more than ever, and has reduced
his baggage to a minimum. Those who

In that smile from the vantage point of
the simple tent or shelter in woods and
mountain usually scorn the artifcialities
OF modern convenience and thus, un-
incumbered. enjoy the days.
Another vital point emphasized by old
campers Is to have the camping party
small and congenial at any cost. The
experienced pleasure camper Will leave

those who are not fitted temperamentaliy
or otherwise for what they speedily are
won't 10 call the awful Inconvenience
of life in the small tent. They know that
such persons not only will spoil their
own pleasure. but also, in large meas
ure, that of the entire party. Friendships
often are preserved by leaving such peo-
pie at home or by plotting them to hotels.
where they can have their wranglings
with persons paid to care for them.
Friends of a certain young couple In

Farm Labor Cost Is Up 200 Per Cent

One more reason for the high cost OF
living and its solution by intensive farm
Ing is discussed by the Department of
Agriculture in report issued lately,
showing the decrease in available farm
labor and the increase in its cost
The report estimates hat 35 per cent
OF the country's population is engaged
In farming, placing this country sixth in
the list fthe worlds agricultural coun-
, tries, England and Wales, with only s
per cent. engaged in farming, mark the
lowest ebb Farm implements, the re-
port declares, have increased since 1880
from an estimated value of S101 per farm
TO 1899.
Wages for farmers since 1870 have in
creased 200 per cent.
Scientific farming by farmers who have
a knowledge of economic entomology and
bacteriology is recommended in the re-
port. This and better home conditions,
the report says, will solve the agricul-
tural question.

There are many little things to
annoy us, under present conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability.. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as well.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like

Mrs. J. B. Hartsfeld, 50 Corrupt ST.,
Atlanta Ga, writes:
II have on several occasions been
vastly relieved by the use of your med
icines. especially the Anti-Pain Pills,
which keep constantly on hand for
the use Of myself, husband and two

enabled by the use of one or two OF
the Pills to continue my housework

Bumper Wheat Crop
Expected This Season

"lf nothing happens, Nebraska is going
to harvest a bumper winter wheat crop
this season." remarked T.. b. Monroe Of
Hastings at the Paxton hotel
The acreage Of winter wheat all
through southern Nebraska is much
larger than ever before and IT looks the
best that | have seen 1t at this season
OF the year. AS rule at this time OF
year the wheat is spindling and does not
cover the ground. Late last fall We had
plenty Of rain and the grain attained a
wonderful growth. In fact. when winter
came on II was matted all over the
ground. Then the snow came and re-
mained for weeks. This was fully as
beneficial as a coating Of fertilizer. and
now that the snow has gone and we have
had few warm days the grain has COM
menced TO turn green. During the last
week ] have seen hundreds of acres of
wheat that has q color such az you would
expect to see the middle OF April. Al
ready. farmers are talking thirty to forty
bushels Of wheat per acre for the coming
season and they Will get 1t IL reasonable
supply Of rain falls during June. We
will not need much more moisture until
near the last Of May. With hot weather
the ground would remain in good condl-
tion until at least that late In the sea-

general precipitation over the Mississippi

ern and snow and rain In northern states
This disturbance will be followed by
a change TO colder weather over all dis
tricts east OF the Rocky mountains, but
II will be Of short duration. and IT Is
probable that rising temperature will
overspread the plains states on Tuesday
and the eastern half Of the country by
the middle OF the week.
The next general disturbance to cross
the country will appear IN the far west
on Wednesday or Thursday, cross the
middle west about Friday aSf the cast

There has been an abundance Of snow
in northwest Nebraska during the last
winter. but owing to the frequency Of the
Chinook winds II never laid on the ground
any length OF time. As a result the
ranges were prime all winter and less than
the usual quantity OF hay had TO be fed.
However. stock that was kept up and
given plenty Of hay Is coming through
in better shape than the cattle that picked
living on the range.
The water from the snow has filled
many OF the previously dry lake beds 50
that there win be plenty Of stock water
all next season. The existing conditions
have caused largely increased demand
for land and the prices are advancing
