An Instrument For
National Defense

With the passage of the Food Pro.
duction bill, Congress officially recog-
nizes new instrument of national de.
fense-the county agent.
Under the provisions of this act, Sl15
900 has been set aside for county agent
work in Nebraska. This will be suffi-
cient to put county agent in every
county organizing and to provide food
emergency agent for each district
where regular county agents are not
employed. County agents and food
emergency agents will be put to work
organizing and mobilizing agricultural
Nebraska for maximum production.
The county agent is thus regarded
by the nations highest counselors as
the best instrument of increasing pro-
duction as defensive measure. The
Agricultural Extension Service of the
University of Nebraska has mapped
ont plans for the extension of county
agent work in conformity with the
new law and is ready to proceed with
the program as soon as the bill is sign
ed by the president and the emergency
funds are released. Agents will be
placed in counties as they are ready to
receive them.

The flowers was blooming gaily as a girl
choked back sob
And went into n paint store and applied
there for job.
She had been out of work for weeks, and
she was feeling faint,
And so the bose gave her n Job at filling
cans with paint.
The paint was red. and this poor girl
knew that her face was white,
So now and then she'd take some paint
and make her cheeks look bright
She worked all day and toiled real hard
for she did need that place.
But when she'd fill a can with paint, she'd
put some on her face
That night, when work was done the
boss checked up the cans she'd filed,
And found six gallons Of red paint was
either lost or spilled
He hunted for the missing paint, as any
man would do,
Until he saw the girls bright cheeks-and
then he got n clew.
He got some turpentine and then the
girls cheeks he did rub
And when the paint was softened 1t ran
down into n tab.
And soon the whole six gallons that was
missing was right there
You're fired for stealing this here paintv'
the boss then did declare,
The poor girls face was pale again, ano
she did heave sigh,
And. as she faced that cruel boss. she did
make this reply:
Chorus:
II am an honest working girl, and your
words bring disgrace!
! borrowed them six gallons to put color
In my face.
And I would never steal no paint from
any stingy geeks
Who'd fire n girl who tried to put some
roses In her cheeks!'

We MUST MOBILIZE,

Practical Patriotism, That's the
National BY Word Today


3 II call upon the young men and

boys of the land to accept and act
upon this duty-to turn in hosts to
the farms and make certain that no
pains and no labor is lacking in this
great matter"
Since this memorable address Of

Patriotism in all OF its angles.

The Seed Wheat Situation

Nebraska's 1917 wheat crop will
probably be about 10 per cent normal.
Breadstuffs will be extremely scarce
because of this shortage and the in
creased demand abroad The world
will need every bushel of wheat that
can be grown. In parts OF Nebraska
where seed wheat will be available,
threshing is already under way and
much OF the wheat Is being marketed.
II this wheat can be secured for seed
there will probably be enough for the
states own use. To do this, immediate
action is necessary.
How to get seed
Farmers needing seed wheat had
best arrange for their seed at once.
Seed wheat can be most cheaply and
certainly secured in carload lots. Ar
rangements may be made comparatively
or thru local grain dealers. Grain deal
ers will handle seed wheat at actual
cost. If any difficulty arises in secur-
ing seed wheat, write, The State,Coun

the village OF Stambaugh for two
years under a thirty-year franchise
granted by the village council, the
qualified electors refused to endorse
the councils action by a three-fifths
vote at the village election held last
week Monday.
The vote was 81 in favor OF grant
ing the thirty-year franchise 70 90

was necessary, the endorsement by
the people which was confidently ex-
pected, failed This does not mean,
however, that the street car company

The councils action taken two years
ago still stands and the company can
continue to operate It's lines. The re-
