"A Stitch in
Time /"

There might be a modern YER
sion of that old adage to the ef-
feet that, "a penny spent in time
will often save a dime"
Nowhere is the truth of this
revised adage more easily dem
onstrated than in the proper
use of the best newspapers of
the day.
If you are planning a trip, II
you wish to go to a theatre, a
lecture, to church, If you need
to buy practically any article OF
ordinary use, spend your cop
per for a good newspaper and
turn to the advertising columns
for the latest information on
the subject you have In mind.
Make a practice of doing this
and you will find that you seve
yourself both time and trouble
and that many dime that
might have been wasted has
either been saved or spent in
such a way that you have at
tanned the maximum of value
from 1t.
Needless spending wastes
more money than willful ex-
travagance.
In justice to yourself, you
must keep in touch with what
is in the market. Buy news
paper and save your dimes by
reading the advertisements
regularly.

LINCOLN AND FISCUS
1913 IN HISTORY


In few more days the year 1918 will
bid last farewell to father time and
become part of the ages. The year
has been one of great excitment and
unrest in many parts of the United
States brought about by varied
causes. As general rule farmers and
stockmen have had great financial
losses brought about by drouth, storms,
floods and hog cholera. The year en-.
tered very mildly and continued SO
throughout the winter, the tempature
seldom falling below the zero mark;
the spring was cold and backward in
many places making crops get very

day a destructive cyclone swept across
Kansas, entering Nebraska striking the
cities of Omaha and Council Bluffs
where many human beings went into
eternity. This storm was divided into
several divisions which entered Iowa
and continued its destruction until it
finally disappeared in the north centra
part of the state.
One of these twisters the one believe
that struck Council Bluffs continued
coming this way and about dusk o.
that Easter Sunday evening the north
western part of Audubon County wa
stricken by it, three townships, Douglas
Lincoln and Cameron being in its path
The great suffering, distress and fnan
cial loss has long since been known b,
the public and will not be repeated here
but those that were in the storm o
visited the section shortly afterward
saw sights that cannot be describes
with pen. Camera men were soon OF
the ground taking photographs Of de
stroyed homes and public buildings
these are hailed as treasures and will
help the imaginations of those tina
were in the storm TO live that nigh
over again in future years. Thougl
hut nine months have passed since tn

left to mark its path are the scores o
new buildings that now mark the loca

unjust to mention the weather we had
here as being dry.
Another pestalence that played havoc
throughout the year and is still playing
in the corn belt is peculiar disease
affecting swine usually resulting in
their death. Cholera is the disease pre-
vailing name but whether that is what
it is l cannot say as am no veterinary
and know but little about ailments of
hogs. Whatever it may be, 1t does its
work unfiinchingly and has killed
thousands upon thousands of hogs dur
ing the past year. Veterinaries have
been busy at all times trying to stamp
out the ravages of above. but have had
small effects so far. AS far as known
this cholera is general throughout the
corn belt which is identical with the
hog belt, the loses being about thesame

wealth ahead of humans will state that
the Kansas and Oklahoma drouth was
the most fatal. Although 1913 has been
somewhat rough and rugged in many
places it has also been ' cry generous by
bringing increas cd wages and prices;

rewarded: the near year may be a
greater one than the old, and again it
may not be. Who can sayg

in an inferior condition to prevent
them from starving or dying from lack
of water. Many farms were abandoned
the owners being forced to go to more
favorable places to obtain work to sup
port their families. In fact the biggest
portion of Kansas resembled a region
where fire had swept over the country
instead of a place that had passed
through hot winds and sultry days.
Southern Iowa was dry and crops
yielded very low but from the southern
boundry northward rain was more
plentiful thereby bringing better crops

state they were normal II is said that

strong reasons for believing that the
hog market will sail skyward before
next summer, as twenty five per cent,
possibly more of the hogs have died
during the past twelve months, thereby
making o shortage that will very likely

increased prices. During these closing
days of 1913, the main question is,

Hemp Crop Takes Places Of Worthless

A recent Wisconsin station bulletin
reports the work of c. P. Norgord. in
which Canada thistle and quack grass
were successfully eradicated and a crop
of hemp valued at Sis per acre was
secured.
To be sure of getting results, the

ed we'll, and. if possible. plowed just
before sowing hemp in the spring.
Trials on upland indicate that hemp
cannot be p%rofitably grown on any
but the best lands. Aside from a lack
of fertility. the greatest difficulty lies
in the danger Of the soil packing. par
ticularly if this is followed by hot
weather.
To prevent this trouble the hemp
