larch wood will outlast oak. The trees
are adopted to close planting in sroves

most perfectly straight timbers suitable
for posts. railroad ties or eventually tel

superior to the native American species.
1t is an excellent tree for low wet soils.
1t can easily be grown from seed and
can b. transplanted. Because Of its

WAR ON RATS IS
GRAIN MEMS UKASE
Little Field Rodents Cause
Three Quarter Million Dol
lars Damage Annually.
SHARP TEETH EAT PROFITS

While a war of determination is
being waged on the English sparrow,
grain men assert that it would be
proper to extend the warfare to rats,
the position being taken that they do
vastly more damage each year than
the sparrows.
Of course grain men have only to
do with the damage that rats do to
grain and while they have no conf
pilation of figures at hand, they as
sert that in Nebraska alone, rats de-
stroy probably an average of $5OO,0OO
to $75O,OOO worth OF grain annually.
This damage could be greatly re-
duced, they say, by systematic kill
ing of the rodents.
Years ago when elevators were con-
structed of wood and wood floors in
such structures were the rule and
when the old-fashioned shovel houses
were located at the grain-buying
appoints, it was figured that rats took
a toll of not far from one-tenth OF
the grain.
In recent years the shovel houses
have gone to the discard and grain
is now handled through elevators.
These elevators have solid founda-
tons of cement, from foot to eight
cen inches in thickness, extending
we'll up the sides, much higher than
a rat can ever climb In this way much
of the rat damage has been elimin-
ated.
However, while the grain is being
held by the farmers and before it
finds its way into the modern eleva-
tors, the rat damage is great. On the
farms, prior to taking to market, the
grain is stored in bins in barns, or in
granaries, and as a rule, say the grain
men, these storehouses, instead of be-
ing rat-proof, are of wood construc-
ton. Rats easily get into them and
cat large quantities of grain annually.
This year, with wheat prices around
$170@1.75 and corn 5000 cents per
bushel, it does not take rat family
very long to eat a dollars worth of
grain. And with thousands of farm
ers having grain in storage in their
home bins the loss of a few bushels
to each farmer, in the aggregate,
means a neat sum of money.
Grain men want a rat-killing day
proclaimed and believe that with a
> little cooperation the profit-eating
pests could be pretty well wiped out
at small cost and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars saved annually to
Nebraska.

The History of
a Great Work
Showing the Wonderful Prog
ress of $50 Years

A hundred and fifty years
ago, when the stage-coach horn
still echoed through England,
and a young, unknown planter
named George Washington
was hunting foxes or surveying
land in His Majesty's colony of
Virginia, there appeared in
three modest volumes a book
which was destined TO exercise
a great influence throughout
the world-a greater influence
than any other one work in the
range of English letters.
1t was called THE Encyclo-
paedia Britannica" and was
prepared, according to its title
page, by a Society Of Gentle
men" who were, incidentally,
eminent scholars in their time.
The Origin of Encyclopedias
These men not only origi-
mated the plan on which the
Encyclopaedia Britannica was
built, but the very idea of an
encyclopaedia, so familiar to us
today, is the result of their
work. What they planned was
essentially an educational work
"a new method Of bringing the
knowledge of specialists in cor
rect and scholarly form TO the
general public. The idea was
revolutionary in its day, and its
success has been an important
means of diffusing education for
$50 years.
Up through lie decades this
book has advanced, always
ahead of the times, always en-
Pertaining, always absolutely
correct in its statements. How
successful both the idea and the
book have been is shown by
the fact that the reputation of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica
has steadily grown through $50
years and is greater today than
ever; that the sale of each edi-
tion-and there have now been
no less than eleven-has been
greater than that Of its prede-
cessor, and that the total sale
has been larger than of all other
encyclopedias in English,
French, German, Italian, Rus
sian and Spanish combined.

succeeded as a result of the

The Scarcity Of India Paper
India paper is made from q
kind of flax grown in Germany,
Belgium and Ireland. The war
ended the getting of any flax
from Belgium and Germany
two years ago, and the embargo
Of the British government has
cut off all supplies from Ireland.
The result is that no more India
paper can be procured for years
to come. for even should the
war end tomorrow, there are
other and more important crops
to be grown than flax.
Every set Of the Encyclo-
paedia Britannica that could be
made on India paper has now
been made; when those on hand
are taken, as they will be in the
very near future, the work can
no longer be purchased. We
strongly advise, therefore, all
