Hunting Best Ever, Report
Deputy Sheriffs, After Trip

Deputy Sheriffs Pat WEIGH and
Chris Christensen returned Monday
from two weeks fishing and hunt
ing expedition in Rock county, near
Shebesta. They passed most of the
time on the famous ranch owned
by Jesse James," old-time cow
boy, whose only connection with the
notorious bandit is in his nickname.
Il have never seen so many ducks
in my life as there were flying about
that country" was the report made
by Welch. "And prairie chickens,
he said, were plentiful"
As proof OF his statement, both
men brought back the limit on
prairie chickens and as may ducks as
they thought would not spoil on &C
count of the warm weather.

Slate and Sponge WIZ
Replace Tablet Due to
Cheap Paper Shortage

American school children will
have to return to the slate of his
or her daddy, because OF an i'm
mense demand for sulphur. chic
rine, caustic soda and pulp,
the four ingredients that make up
the cheap paper pad, which the
modern school child uses instead
of the old-fashioned slate of the
mid-Victorian period.
The war will revive the use of
the slate and its screening slate
pencil, together with the old-time
unhygenic sponge and bottle OF
water. Some of the kids even dis
pensed with these and used their
tongues as slate cleaners.
To help win the war the paper
scribbling habit in the schools
must 60 and it is even thought
that "poets" will also have to
comply with the same rule.

Want to File Papers for
Citizenship in the U. S

Ten Germans from Hebron and
Deshler, Neb., came to Omaha Mon
day morning to file papers in federal
court asking for first naturalization
papers.
The men cannot take out naturali-
cation papers while America is at
war with Germany, but they have
the right to file their petition asl:ing
for citizenship and many Ger
mans flock to federal court to file
their names.
District Judge Brown, in whose
jurisdiction Thayer county is To-
Gated, has instructed his clerks not
to file petitions for citizenship made
by German citizens and that is the
reason that many Germans from
that part of the state make their
filing in Omaha.

the congregation the simple facts con-
corning the mans enlistment, his
whereabouts and his prospects in the
service. The umadorned story Ofs duty
well done and of full surrender to the
country's call was very affecting. Mrs.
Robert e. Jones stood by the flag with
stars and pins and assisted in placing
the stars.
On account of the lateness of the
hour, Rev. Metcalf omitted the address
which he had prepared for the occa-
sion and announced that he would give
it to the congregation next Sunday
evening. The service, was one OF the
most impressive in the history OF the

other stars which are to come later
will have to be placed between rows.

Seed Corn for 1919 and 1920.
How about your seed corn? Are
you planning on selecting it in the
next week or so? Have you good
place to store your seed corn? These
are questions that every farmer in
Hamilton county should be asking
himself. The farmers who picked
their seed corn before the heavy frost
a year ago this fall. did not have to
search or Spay large prices for seed
this last spring.
! Many will say that the corn is
farther along this year so that they
can get the seed any time from the
crib 1t is true that the corn is much
ahead of last year, but that is no rea
son why every farmer should not 6.
to his corn field this month and gather
his seed.
The government slogan is, "Gather
Enough Seed Corn for Two Icl"s.'
We may not have another season like
last year for several years. and yet
| again we may. The\ farmers must
adopt the policy of preparedness
concerning their seed corn. Gather
enough corn this year to last you for
two years. DO not trust to your neigh
Dor to pick your seed corn. but pick
your own. =
The time between September 18th
and 18th has been set aside by the
government for Iowa to gather her
seed corn. Every farmer in Hamilton
county will be asked whether he has
or has not gathered his seed corn and
the amount. This list will be sent to
the government Office and it is hoped
that every farmer in this county will
be on the right side of the list.
Simply gathering the seed is not
sufficient, but it should be stored in II
good dry place so that it will thor
oughly dry out. Select such a place
so that the air can get to the corn and
yet where it will not ,be damp, or food
for squirrels, mice or rats.
Remember two years supply is
the safest way, and that the killing
frost doesn't wait for you, so get your
seed corn before that frost.
Licensing Sorghum Mills.
In order that we may successfully
regulate the manufacture and distri-
button of table syrups, it is necessary
that everybody who manufactures or
distributes syrups, except retailers
whose gross sales do not exceed $780,
900 a year. he licensed and he governed
by the regulations applying to syrup
manufacturers and distributors. There
fore. anybody operating IA sorghum
mill who grinds sorghum for others
or for himself to sell must he required
TO take out license and must be re-
quired to observe the regulations.
Under our regulations manufacture
ers and distributors cannot sell more
than GO days ahead. and if some of
these small mills could go out and
book orders more than GO days ahead,
it would place persons under license at
a disadvantage and we would be sub
jected to considerable criticism. There
fore, in order to tie the whole Situa-
ton up tight, anybody who makes any
syrup and turns it loose so somebody
sells it. or sells it himself, should he
required to take out license. This
applies whether or not the person
grinding the sorghum raises his own
sorghum.
