Doubtless you notice that the Pres
ident is still keeping US out of war,
as usual.
We have been waiting to hear
somebody say 1T is all off with the
Romanoffs.',,
Seeing that Uncle Sam doesn't
want married men in the military
service, business ought to pick up
little in the probate judges office.
Perhaps this may signify something
for those small towns that they have
no use for water but are ready for
electric light Let such towns put in
a power plant big enough for both
services, while they are about it, and
annex the water service later on
Well, the Warnoak light bill for
1916 was 50. so. That was for s.juice'
alone, as we had no repair or renewal
bills. Yes, we used current for IRON
ing but that is included in the nine
sixty. The only extra charge we had
during the year was thirty cents to
buy new cord for the electric iron.
City water is much more important
than city light. There are many SUBJ
stitutes for electric light, but there
is no substitute for water, and never
has been-not even in the wide-open
days-and never can be. Ask any fam
lily that has both services which they
would keep if they had to give up
one or the other. Water wins out
nine times in ten.

to be unloaded. Yet, when l came
in touch with the farmers from all
over the state and few from other
states, the fact dawned upon
me that we of Trego county, had
been fortunately blessed in the year
just passed. / hope L may be par
doned for saying this much before
giving out what I really wish to urge
upon our wheat growers, which is the
notable fact of our almost hopeless
prospect of even a reasonable wheat
crop this year.
Would it not be the wiser thing to
hold on to a sufficient amount of seed
wheat for next falls sowing, since
the price is not likely to be much
less then than it is now no matter if
our present crop should develop more
than it now indicates.

l am not writing this in the sense
of advice, but am only suggesting,
and while 1 am at it / may just as
well suggest little further. In the
thirty eight years / have been grow
ing and attempting to grow wheat in
western Kansas, L have observed, as
others surely have, that poor wheat
year, as rule is followed by sue
cessful year, SO we will likely need
plenty of seed wheat this fall. Should
we ship out all of last years wheat
crop, / am asking where our seed
will come from next fall. I will
quietly lay me down and promise not
to bother the editor again if you will
point out where this seed is to come
from if we do not hold it here.

SUGGESTS HOLDING SEED WHEAT.

Through a circular letter received
from Governor Capper to attend a
farmers 'sspeed up'' meeting to be
held at Topeka on the 18th of March,
1 was induced to attend the meeting
and to join in with others in encour-
aging, as far as possible and through
every means at our command, the
growing of every thing that enters
the foodstuff line.
The surprise to me was the cry of
world wide shortage of cereals as
well as vegetable crop. My sur
prise may be better understood when
l recount the fact that all last fall
and on my way to Topeka, I saw and
could have counted, hundreds of
wagon loads of wheat, standing
around the elevators waiting for cars

oBIruARY-ERIc LINpBERc

The critical condition of the health
of Eric Lindberg of OgalIah had been
known by his friends for some time
and when his death was announced
Friday morning, March 80, 1917, II
caused no surprise but cast sorrow
and gloom over each of them.
Mr.. Lindberg was born in Linds-
berg, Sweden, February 6, 1862, and
came to this country in 1882, coming
direct TO Ogallah where he made his
home with his uncle, G. j Anderson.
until his marriage.
He was married to Louisa Israel
son at Ogallah, on May 80, 1891, and
to them six children were born, four
of whom are now living. Mrs. Lind
berg died in 1902. He was married
the second time on April 25, 1906, to
Miss Hattie Countryman and TO them
one daughter was born who with her
mother survive him.
Mr.. Lindberg spent most of his life
onsthe farm but of late years he has
been successful merchant at Ogal-
lah. His character as man and as
business man was beyond reproach
and as he professed to be christian
and a follower of the Lord Jesus
Christ he made his life tally with his
profession. He was consistent
member of the Methodist church and
was also a member of the Ogallah
Holiness association since its organi-
zation. His friends say of him she
was true christian, loyal friend,
true brother, and will be greatly
missed. He died triumphant in the
faith"
His death was caused from cancer
of the stomach, and the funeral SER
vices were held at Ogallah, Sunday,
pril 1st, and were conducted by the
Rev. Woodward. The body was
buried in the Ogallah cemetery.
The surviving members of the fam
lily have the sincere sympathy of the
entire community in the loss of their
husband and father. and the high es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Lindberg was held
was attested by the large number
who attended the funeral and the
many beautiful floral offerings.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to express our sincere
thanks and appreciation to all those
who so kindly assisted US and SYM
pathiZed with US in the loss of our
beloved father, husband and brother

to instructions, and deliver to the banker two choice gilts (not less than eight weeks old) from the first litter. ;The member agrees also to take out registration papers for all the ,rst-litter pigs not sold for immediate slaughter. When these agreements are met, the orig inal SOW and the remaining pigs become the members property.
 If tine member is unable to return two SOW pigs out of the first litter the agreement continues until this is possible. If the original SOW dies before Throwing healthy litter the banker rcars the iosa If tie mcm- Der does not fulfill all agreements, rights to the SOW and he.. progeny are ;oi e..ad. The par..1 agrees to the contract, in writir-, and aci.- nowledges Tat the SOW a Ii increase shall belong to the boy or girl.
 When the banker receives the two SOW pigs from the member and puts them out with other boys or girls under the same agreement, the end- less chain feature of the activities Is set in motion. This plan may be varied in details to suit conditions. For instance. the banker may re- quire the return of only one SOW pig, and stipulate that the boy or girl must join corn or peanut club, raise at least half an acre of green feed. and exhibit the SOW and her offspring at the county fair or live stock show
 Under similar arrangements boys have received calves to raise, and both boys and girls have received eggs of pure-bred chickens for hatch ing.
 It is urged that bankers in the South who have taken part in these projects heretofore continue their aid, and others, both in the North and in the South. take up the work, as it is a patriotic duty at this time to increase the nations supply of food. County agents, state agricul- tural colleges and the department of agriculture will answer gladly any questions regarding details of these activities.
