NO HORSES FROM
NEBRASKA FOR WAR

LINCOLN, Neb+, Jan, n8.-"No
horses for the European war" is the
slogan or the farmers of at least one
county in Nebraska. The farmers of
Jefferson county are refusing to sell
any animals to contractors who are
acting for the warning nations.
Let the war-crazed Europeans fight
their own battles," said one Of them,
and apparently he voiced the Sent1-
ment held by many.
"NOne Of us need money 50 badly
that we must let the Europeans have
our dumb brutcs to be used for tar
gets for artillcrymen and rihemcn.'
The attitude Of the farmers was
brought out strongly recently when
Bud White, a Topeka, Kansas, horse.
buyer, advertised extensively for
horses and mares for cavalry and ar
tillery purposes abroad.
The buyer announced that he would
be at the Rairbury, Neb., livery barn

invoice. He did not do either as he
had no chance. No no horses show

FREE TEXT BOOK
BILL TO Be URGED
Those Interested In Education Will
Push the Mcasure-Fcderatio
Of Labor Behind |.

Senator Ben l.. Roscnhloom in The
scuatc and Delegate Harry Weiss in
the house will Introduce carly in the
session free text bill as advocated
by the State Federation Of Labor.
The bill is Identical with bills which
the federation has advocated in other
states amt viii probably be very SIM
liar to other bills covering the same
subject which will find their way into
the legislative grist mill before the
session is very far advanced.
The RoscnbloomWeiss bill in sec
uon three prescribes that all text
books to be used in the public schools
Shall be printed under the direction
and authority OF the state superin-
tendent OF schools and delivered to
the boards or education OF the pOliti-
Cal division OF the state in suscient
numbers for the free distribution to
each pupil OF each public school. I'm
der the terms OF section the cOun-
ties would pay to the state for the
text bOkS, based upon the actual cost
OF production,. with the additional
cost OF administration. The bill also
requires the state superintendent to
nave the text books copyrighted. The
blll also provides that Il sum suffi-
clcnt to put into operation the pro-
visions Of the law shall be appro-
priatcd
Several cities in the state are now
furnishing text books to the pupils in
thelr public schools, Wheeling and
Parkersburg being two OF the cities.
In other states, Pennsylvania being
one, large proportion Of tho cost
ol furnishing free text books is borne
by the state through special fund
raised in various ways.

SAVED FROM SWORD
OF M0SLEM F|ENDS
Thrilling Lecture of Trip to the "HoIv
Land" by the Rev.
Prettyman.

How a simple little song, memoriz.
ed IN his boyhood days, saved him
from death at the sword points of a
horde Of Mohammedan outlaws, who
captured him, when he was lost
from his party Of brother uilgrims.
while touring the Holy Land" will
be but one of the many thrilling in
cidents that will be related by Rev.
Forrest j. Prettyman, chaplain of the
United States senate, who will deliv.
er lecture in Trinity NJ. E. church,

day, JANUARY %.
Rev. Prettyman, who will be re-
membered by all our older citizen 5
as former pastor of the local church
In which he is to appear on this oc-
casion, was one of a party OF several
by The Washington Post, who +onr-
ed The Holy Land" In his lecture
Rev. Prettyman tells Of how his Mos
lem captors stood over him with
drawn swords, ready at the word Of
command to take his life, and when
in the stress Of mental strain in this
moment, how strangely there came to
his mind the words Of Mohammcd-
an song, mem QriZed when he was n
child, and thinking to alay their pas
ion and hatred against the Chris
ian. with trennulous voice he repeat
ed them. Strangely affected by these
words. his captors released him. and
in time he was able to rejOin his
brother pilgrims.
He is forceful and pleasing talker
and this thrilling incident is but one
Of the many that befell the tourists
of which he will tell. Apart from
this his lecture will be replete with
interesting historical and Biblical
facts Of the sacred land Of the east

lecture, which will be made especial
ly effective in film scenics, will cover
very fully every part Of the holy

interesting, but powerfully instruc-

SEND KITCHEN TO
SAN FRANCISCO
Model Designed to illustrate Prnci.
pies of Interest to Wives That
Visit the Fair.

A complete kitchen with a real
stove. refrigerator, sink, workable
and other necessaries is being sent
by the department of agriculture to
San Francisco for the fair This
kitchen is not model" in the sense
that every housewife Is to try to
make hers as nearly like it as pos
s1ble, but is rather q composite Of
many possible model kitchens which
Is designed to illustrate various es-
sential principles Of convenient kit
chen arrangement The American
housewife, for whose special benefit
the model has been constructed, must
judge from it what appliances ard
improvements in arrangement will
best fit her peculiar household needs
and those Of her purse.
One general idea emphasized by
the departments San FranciscoJbound
kitchen is that the size of the ordi-
nary kitchen should be small rather
than large if the room is to be used
only for the preparation of the meals.
1t should be as compact as possible
to save travelling back and forth. The
near together as is convenient, and
the distances to supplies and the
dining room or pantry should be short
On the floor Of the model room the
distances most commonly travelled
In preparing and serving meals are
indicated by straight lines
'"The fewer ornaments the better
IL a housewives workshop" is the
text OF another lesson Of this little
exhibit. Corners are rounded; sur
faces are plain; there are as few
holdings as possible to catch dirt
which must be removed with 81 much
effort. One feature is a table with
legs that may be raised or lowered
to suit the height of the worker
The refrigerator, as it stands, would

part of it Is lined with solid porce-
lain, another enameled steel, another
with zinc painted with enamel paint,
and another with unpainted zinc How

es and disadvantages of each par
ticular lining are explained in Ia
bel attached. Each woman who
reads may look for what suits her
own refrigerator, and housewives
from the North or from the South,
from high, dry region or a low,
moist region may each decide which
feature is most adaptable for her
own use and pocketbook.
A stew kettle Is shown in several
common materials in the model kit
chen, but no particular make is rec
commended. The aim is to show
sauce pans or kettles made of steel,
aluminium, enamelware, copper, and
earthenware, and descriptive labels
