to 1918, inclusive.
Big Butter Market
In butter production during the
last 10 years Nebraska has worked
from near the bottom to close to the
top OF the list of states, now stand
ing second. Its pack last year ag-
gregated 62,o8o,5lo pounds.
In the marketing of beet cattle,
nearly all of which were fed on Ne
braska farms, the state took third
place, producing 2,372,8O0 animals,
out of total OF 40,3lS,20O produced
in the United States.
When it comes to riding in auto
mobiles, the people of Nebraska do
not have to take off their hats to
those of any of the states, for OF the
gas cars, they own 1887. This is
an average of one car to every ~
persons. And by the way, If it
should be necessary for the entire
population to move from the state
within "a hours, it could be done
without the aid or assistance OF the
railroads, for there are five automo-
biles to every eight families.
So far as Nebraska banks are con-
cerned, last January there were | ,l2O
in the state, or bank to every l,2OS
persons. In fact there are more
banks than in all of New England.
Important Live Stock Center.
While the agricultural resources
and the value of the products of Ne
braska soil have been astonishing
and have attracted wide attention,
its live stock interests have been
considered equally important.
Take the state as a hog raising
area, it is exceeded only by Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri and Indiana. Fig
ures compiled show that that the
average number of hogs on Ne
braska farms on the last day of
each year from 1910 to 1919, in
elusive have averaged $4,000.
In the matter of cattle, during the
10-year period, the average number
has been 2,372,00O head. For sew
eral years as cattle raising state,
Nebraska has ranked fourth, closely
crowding Illinois for third place.
And, as to horses. Those raised
in Nebraska are conceded to be
among the best and on the farms of
the state, the average number dur
ing the last 10 years has been 1,039,-
900. In the horse raising and own
ership, the state is in sixth place.
The Nebraska bank deposits jan
uary /, this year, aggregated $685.
$4,000, an average of $2S5.20 per
capita. In the matter of banks,
Nebraska ranks 3lst among the
states.

Code Letter Coming
From Germany Is Held
By College O.4Icers

Atlanta, Ga, June 2S.-What is
believed to be schrewd scheme to
smuggle a code letter through from
Germany to Franz Rintelen, Ger
man spy, now sojourning in the At
lanta federal prison, went away
when the dean of Princeton univer-
sity, DR.. Andrew F. West, became
suspicious of a letter entrusted to
him and refused to deliver it. The
letter had been sent from a noun
tain resort in Germany to President
John Grier Hibben of Princeton uni
versity, inquiring into the where
abouts of Paul H. Larwell, stating
Larwell was a Princeton graduate
and could help Rintelen's brother,
who is in Germany. to secure the
release of Franz Rintelen.. The
writer evidently believed the letter
would be referred to Franz to "help
locate" Larwell, of whom the
Princeton books showed no record.
DR.. West, visiting Atlanta, was
given the letter but on rereading it
noted its queer construction and,
believing it code work, did not turn
it over to Rintelen.

Great Need of Supplies.
Major Robert c. Denison, direc-
tor of the Albanian unit, reports:
Nowhere in the Balkans is there
greater need of medical, dental and
clothing supplies and children's aid
than in Albania. Albania's tragedy
has not been brought to the atten-
ton of the American people and of
the world in any such vivid way as
has that of Serbia. The Albanian
people do not beg. They come to
the dispensary and stand quietly
waiting until their turn comes to
receive the doctors attention"
The honesty of these highlanders
of the Balkans is proverbial. A
Red Cross man leaving Tirana by
motor truck threw away some
American newspapers. An Alban-
ian mountaineer, thinking he h ad
dropped the papers by mistake, fol-
lowed him for two days on foot un-
til he had restored them.

Our idea Is that county high.

ably twenty or thirty pupils,
some of them taking the first
year, some the second, and prob.
ably some the third.
The cost to start with would
consequently be the hiring of
one teacher, at a salary Of prob

what is paid our >best teachers,
and the purchasing Of a nucleus

Single and Union
High School Districts.
For the purposes of this write
up these two districts may be
considered UNDER one head
The only difference between
the two is that a district high
school is composed of one dis
trict. and a union high school Of
two or more districts-aAjoininq
an incorporated town.
From the Standpoint
OF Fairness and Justice.
From the start We nay as well
eliminate the district high school.
's nobody ia advocating it, and it
is consequently not factor.
The law provides that two OF
more districts adjoining an in.
corporated town may organize
into union high school: and
The district in which the high
school is located must furnish
the building.
The first fact in consideration
Of the matter is that at present
there are only two incorporated
towns in the county-Springtield
and Two Buttes. Going on, the
presumption that union schools
were possible at those two points

ish enough to nut sp the bar OF
tuition against the other high
school pupils Of the county?
Don't you know?-whatever
our ambitions may be. our neigh
borhood or town is linked with
the prosperity of the whole coun.
ty. and the county with the pros.
perity of the state and the whole
nation.
AS it is with prosperity. so It is
in matters of education; and
we hence want to q. We every boy

leges of the high school.

When we find that others out
of selfish motives and selfish in

of us, it is a law of unQuestion-

ourselves and our interests, but
our neighbors and their interests,
where it is possible to do so. and
