NEBRASKA HAD RECORD ACREAGE
High Cost Of Living Causes Vacant
Lots to BE Used for Gardens.
BY United Press

BY United Press
LINCOLN, April 7.-Nebraska's crop
acreage this year will be the greatest
in the states history, but the crop yield
will depend on weather conditions.
The high cost of living, with the high
prices paid for farm produce, is in
part responsible for the increased
acreage.
Only a normal wheat crop is expect
ed, for farmers say that the wheat is
not strong and will require the most
favorable conditions from now on.
Where wheat has been winter-killed,
the farmers will plow and plant the
field with corn.
The high prices brought by garden
produce and by such staples as beans
and potatoes, will mean an increased
acreage for these also.
One of the effects of the high cost of
living, which will be seen in cities and
towns all over the state, will be an in
creased number of gardens. In the
larger cities and towns every vacant
lot stands a good chance of being used
for a garden.

CATHOLIC STUDENTS
MAY GET CLUBHOUSE
Plans Made for a S3o, 900
Home Here to Be Built by
Knights of Columbus.
TO SELECT SITE SOON
Details Will Be Discussed
When Committee of State
Council Meets.

Plans looking toward the erection
of a $4,000 home for Catholic stu
dents in the University will be COM
pleted next week when a committee
of the State Council of the knights
of Columbus will meet here to select
a site for the building. The building

with rest rooms, reading rooms and
game rooms, an auditorium and ac-
commodations for thirty men students.
1t is intended to have the home serve
as a social center for the Catholic
students attending the University.
The new clubhouse comes as a re-
suit of agitation by students who are
members of the Columbia council of
the Knights of Columbus. At the state
convention of the order, held at Mary
vile last May, a resolution setting
forth the need of such a building was
introduced by the delegates of the
local council. The resolution was fav-
orably received and was adopted by
the convention. 1t called for a per
capita tax of 50 on each council in
the state and was to become effective
upon its adoption by the individual
councils.
Each council in the state has adopt
ed the resolution and the work of rails
ing the necessary funds has begun.
There are 10000 members of the
Knights of Columbus in Missouri, and
$4,000 will be realized from that
source. In addition there have been
individual contributions. Archbishop
Glennon pledged $1,000 to the fund.
and the bishops of Kansas City and
st. Louis have pledged $3.50 each.
The local council is making the Wis
it of the state committee, headed by
Joseph Kane of st. Louis, the occas-
icn of banquet, to be given at the
Virginia Grill, Monday evening. April |

gov, Moberly, Jefferson City, Mar

Spend But Don't Waste.

following good advice which we
should all heed;
Business is activity. Stagnation
means decay. AS there can be no
life In stagnant waters, just so there
can be none in stagnant business.
Get this fact we'll in mind
Business activity comes not from
boarding, but from spending.
What would the world do with.
out its spendthriftsi They may
carry a virtue to au extreme, but
as to the effect on business, better
fat than that of the boarding miser
We are urged to rally to the
colorsj we are urged to enter the
army Of burrows, we are urged to
consecrate our all upon the altar
= "a. Z saE u
Of our country. aud we are urged
to Practice The Strictest Kind or
Economy,
The advice is conflicting, Our
advisers should employ q different
term from " economy " 1t is right
that we eliminate Waste wanton
waste that brings good to none.
But quit spendingi Never!
That way lies business stagnation,
want. and ultimate panic.
Imagine a community entirely
independent of the outside world
Elt has a combined capital of 500
1000, which is sufficient to carry
on all of its business But the cry
CT hard times" goes out, purses
are closed, and the result is in.

The world is composed of com.
munities. In and between these
communities the public life blood
(gold) must fl Nv it lite de sustain
ed. But stop the flow of that life
blood aud industrial decay aud
death are in the inevitable result.
Wa must earhe, and keep on
earning. Aud equally as important
we must spend, aud keep on spend

travageuce, but systematic, in
telligent spending, that Is all keep

STARKVILLE NEED
FIGURING MILL
Correspondent Thinks
1t Would Stimulate
Wheat Raising.
Editor of East Mississippi Times.

Editor of East Mississippi Times.
/ was gratifiedto read in your
last issue on account of the wheat
crops that has been harvested by
Messrs. Arnold, Foster, Hogan
and others. The time is here when
this county must produce its own
-four and become independent of
the food speculators. When Mis-.
slssippi aud the South raises all
the wheat, corn and meat that we
consume, then the Chicago wheat
pit and dealing in futures will be q
thing of the past and all articles
of food and produce will sell at a
regular and normal price,
Next year there is going to be
a big crop of wheat raised in
Oktibbeha county and this crop
is going to create the necessity of
having Touring mills establised
in various parts of the country.
There is fue opening for some
mill man right in Starkville, and il
these mills are established, wheat
will become one Of our staple and
regular crops and the -four barrel
from the West will be q thing OF
the pass. Let US get ready for it
now and prepare to produce our
own biscuit III the future.
