NEBRASKA

N r EBRASKA Leaguers, in two
~ monster massmeetings last
~ week, passed resolutions de-
nouncing the recent mob at
Beatrice, Neb., which broke up
League meeting and assaulted several
League members. More than 1000
farmers of Gage county, in meeting
near Pickrell August 20, not only de-
nounced the Beatrice outrage but
named a committee of 60 farmers to
demand that the governor see that
mob leaders and public officials who
permitted violence be punished. Reso.
lutions also were passed condemning
organizations and newspapers which,
through Misrepresentation, have been
infiaming the public mind and melting
mob violence against the League and
other progressive movements.
More than 500 Leaguers and other
citizens of Custer county met in the
city hall of Broken Bow, Neb., August
80 and passed similar resolutions.
They also named committee of IL
men and women to go before the gov
ernor and demand that the rights Of
free speech and peaceable assembly
be preserved to all citizens.
The Custer county convention also
denounced in the strongest terms the
effort of certain citizens of Beatrice
to blame the returned soldiers for the
action of the mob in that town. Sew
eral Custer county boys who had serv-
ed overseas were among those who
most strongly condemned mob vio-
lence and the attempt to justify it
by blaming the soldiers.

Edgar Howard of Columbus, for
mer lieutenant governor of Nebraska;
N. 2. Smell, president of the board of
education of Lincoln, Neb.; Arthur G.
Wray, mayor of York, Neb., and State
Senator w. j. Taylor of Merna, Neb.,
unable to attend the Gage. county
meeting, sent letters to be read in
which they denounced in the strongest
! language the action of the Beatrice
mob. At the request of Governor Nc
Kelvie the delegations from Gage and
Custer counties, accompanied by many
Leaguers from other parts of the
state, were to meet him in his exec
utive Office September 8. Governor
McKelvie already has made a state
ment that he will use the full power
of the state to protect citizens in the
exercise of their constitutional rights.
=
Custer county (Neb.) Leaguers, at
conference held August 80, unani-
mously indorsed the principles Of the
Plumb plan for railroad control and
also. urged the passage of the Kenyon
bill for regulation of the packers.
The Endorsement Of the Plumb plan,
which is strongly supported by organ
lied labor of the state, especially by
the railroad men, is one Of the signs
which point to an effective understands
ing between the organized farmers
and organized labor in Nebraska.

FREE FROM DEBT
 CT.LECISLATURE NOW UNHAMPERED
Prohibition Amendment to Have First Consideration
 of New Assembly.

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 7-The State of Connecticut starts the new year free of debt and with its legislature in position to undertake a construc- tive policy. This is expected to ex- tend mainly to the promotion of agri- culture and live stock rearing, the betterment of public health, recon struCtion of the states educational system, improvement of waterways, the cleansing of streams now pollut- ed with industrial wastes and increas- ing facilities for the care of the poor and incompetent.
 The General Assembly will meet in biennial session on Wednesday, Janu- ary 8. One of the most important matters to be- considered is the rati- fication or rejection of the prohibi- tion amendment to the federal con- stitution. Supporters of the amend ments have claimed that the House will rattfy but their claims for like action in the Senate is Controverted.
 This was virtually the only issue of the Fall session. As the transpor- tation and communication systems are federally controlled, and as excise matters wait upon the fate of the pro- posed federal prOhibitory amendment, 1t is expected these subjects will re ceive little attention. This will en- able the legislature to give greater

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

During the ninth week of the laying contest at Storrs, the total produc- tton of all pens amounted to 1,56O eggs, which was at the rate of 223 percent Although there has been no such cold wave as visited the contest the ninth week last year, a consider able number of rainy days in success sion has greatly reduced the hours of sunshine, and by providing shorter working days for the hens, has been responsible for the drop in egg yield. A pen of Barred Plymouth Rocks be- longing to Jules F. Francais, West hampton Beach. L. l., which was in second place last week, tied for first place in the present week with a pen of White Wyandottes entered by Pat rick F. Sullivan. Occum, Conn, each pen laying AZ eggs. Another pen of Barred Rocks belonging to Fairfield Poultry Farms, Short Falls, N. H., tied for second place with Obed G. Knights White Wyandottes from Bridgeport, R. T., by laying 39 eggs. Laurel Hill Farm's Wyandottes. also from Bridgeton, R. T., won third place with yield of 35 eggs.

Leghorns, in particular, are out of the running, and will be. as a breed, i for several weeks to come. In spite of the inability of this latter breed 1 to lay well during the cold weather, they have 8 distinct advantage over ! some of the heavier breeds, when ! considered from the standpoint of ef- ficiency in the use of feed. On the basis of an average of the past five years records 1t has required 6.17, 6.61, 7.56 and 7.59 pounds of feed respectively for each dozen eggs pro- duced by White Leghorns, Wyan- dottes, Rhode Island Reds and Bar red Plymouth Rocks.

CLINIC HAS PROVED WORTH
Organization Established by Boston
Firm Well Worthy OF Imitation
by other Employers.

A pioneer medical clinic. established
IS wears ago to protect the health OF
600 employees, and gradually enlarged
and expanded until 1t now cares FOR
total OF 2700-that Is the record proud
liz held today by a well-known Boston
firm. AT the time of Its organization
the medical director was In charge OF
the clinic In the capacity OF director
and visiting nurse. Now the clinic IS
In charge Of q practlcing physician and
surgeon, assisted by three full-ume
graduate nurses.
During the influenza epidemic of last
winter, over $50 employees were treat
ed per day, with only six deaths during
the entire course Of the dreaded dis
ease. All cases were given careful
individual attention and, In instances
where no family doctor was in at
tendance, immediate arrangements
were made for medical care.
It Is the policy Of the nurses In the
clinic to advise all employees with
whom they come in contact to be IN
sured, an activity which the firm itself
handles through an employees organ
ization. The purpose of such advice
is to secure insurance for all em-
ployees in order that they may receive
its benefits after one weeks Illness.
This arrangement does not place a
premium upon the employees being ILL.,
and at the same time the clinic CO.
operates in the matter Of insurance.
A dental clinic is in a formative
state and, no doubt, will be established
in a short time. The plan and method
of administration and organization Is
simply in the making, but 1t is safe to
say that the dental clinic will be as em-
cient as the medical clinic.
The Modern Hospital, in describing
the clinic, says that it has fully proved

There is no age limit to divorce. 10
Oregon q woman at the age or elghty-
two years is suing for a decree from
her husband. who Is callow stripping
of seventy-one summers. This seems
to be another case of too much mother-
in-law, as the wife asserts that her
husbands love has been alienated anC
undermined through the work OF MS
mother who is now ninety-four years
old and who never did like her, any
how. They have been married some
ten years now, and the wife said that

buy an auto for his mother ana
wouldn't let his wife ride In II, she
knew that his love was dead. When
she demonstrated the husband coldly
Informed her that she could leave the
house. When the wife said that the
home was her own and bought with
her own money the husband replied
that might be so, but he had thought

courts. 1t is rather rough when a
bride Of eIghty-two has to compete
with a ninety-four-year-Old mother-in-
law for the affections of her husband.

There come great moments to US all,
When fiashes Of the truth we Soc
AS when we dare to stand or fall
For ,honor or for liberty;
Or putting earthly fame aside
And. unafraid Of scorn or pain,
We choose to suffer and be tried
To keep our souls without a stain.
Not always Is our vision clear,
Not always can we see Alright.
Life has so much confusion here
That truth is blurred and hid from

But still there come to every man
Great~moments when he under

The glory Of the Masters plan.
And then it is his soul expands
He that has stood beside the bier
or one he loved, has seen how vain
Are treasures that men gather here.
How trivial are loss and gain.
He that' has cooled fevered brow
: And sought the hand of death to
stay, &
Has learned that all to grief must
Nor gold nor fame can spare the

There come great moments to us all
When flashes of the truth we see
When we discover just how small
Things are which mighty seemed

And in those moments, troubled

We rise above all selfish gain
And put the joys of earth aside
To keep our souls without a stain.
