 ON LAND BILL
Would Lease School Lands for Five Years and Open to Bid--Division
 on Committee Report EIGHT CLERKS DISMISSED ffOM SERVICE

Four bills affecting the stste's lands have been introduced. Probably the most important Is the senate bill in- ,roduced ty Roberts of Cochise. It defines the duties Of the state land commission and provides for the leasing of lands, not for their sale.
 Should the Roberts bill become 6 law, the treasurer, clerk and ss- sesor oi each county would form & land leasing board. It would be their duty to advertise, lease, suction and to sell leases on piots of ground rang ing from l60 acres for farming pur- poses. to 540 acres for grazing. to The highest bidders. Each lease will be for 6 term of five years. At the cad of five years the improvements made by les.er shsll be appraised, and Y he fail- to bid high enough to obtain q renewal Of his lease, he will have to cell his improvement to the success tui bidder. No annual rental lees than per cent Of the appraised value pf piece of land will be acc p,ed.

The last saloon in Monroe County
will close this, Thursday, evening
The saloons at Paris and Stoutsville
closed some time ago, Mike Ruddys
license expired on Aug. 3rd. but
that being Sunday his saloon closed
Saturday. Mudd's license expired
with last Tuesday and Gilson's with
today. This will probably be the
last saloon in the county for years.
That all depends on how rigidly the
law is enforced. If the law is not
enforced and if much booze is sold
in dives conditions will be worse
than with the saloon. 1t is now up
to the people.

old suit look much better, try It..

To Keep Butter Hard.

To keep the butter in good shape
on hot days, when it gets soft even
in the cellar, wrap the dish or the
roll of butter in a folded
cloth that has been wet in cold
water. Around this wrap several
thicknesses of wet paper and lastly
of dry newspaper and set it in the
coolest place available. Butter
may be carried to town in good
shape if wrapped in this way.
Milk or cream pitchers wrapped
up in the same manner will keep
the contents sweet from one meal
to another. Nebraska Farmer.
