words tell the story that ends with
success and not failure.
Value of State Farm.
THE farm at North Platte &C
quired IS years ago has been ex-
ceedingly valuable in determining
Just those conditions, both agricul-
tural and economic, under which the
so-called arid portion Of the state
can be successfully handled. The ex-
pertinent station work at North
Platte has been supplemented by
school at Curtis which will endeavor
to do in teaching way what the
station is doing in an experimental
way, and it is believed that the grad
yates of this school, having the great
advantage of being educated in the
environment in which they. will
work. will be an important factor
in developing the less developed
western sections of the state. The
farm of 900 acres and buildings and
improvements valued at 100000,
with an increasing faculty and stu.
dent body, represent this phase OF
tHC university CuuSotiouoi uSNNoP
ment in western Nebraska.
In the decade the college of arts
and sciences has increased three
fold, although students formerly
counted in that college are now en-
rolled in the newly-formed college
of business administration, the col
leges, also new, of pharmacy and
dentistry. The faculty in the col
lege of arts and sciences has in
creased from approximately 20 to
over 100. 1t still maintains first
rank in the university both in the
number of students, teachers and
general influences throughout the
state.
Other Signs Of Growth.
THE college of agriculture has
grown in the decade from about 100
to nearly 900; the faculty has in
creased from 26 TO 80. Its work
and bulletins are approved widely.

Five high-powered cars were
parked close to the county Jail when
Jimmy Cosgrove was brought down
from the police court to serve 80
days, after he had been fined $500
for reckless driving and SIS for drv-
ing an automobile while intoxicated

at the wheels.

another en- the south side OF the
court house. A third was stationed
on Sixth street in front OF St. Paul's
church, all being within a few hun
bred feet OF the Jail entrance. Others
we're stationed further away.
In two of the cars, driven by
women, the doors had been thought
fully opened.
After Jimmy was safely locked up
inside the steel cylinder, the cars
quietly disappeared.
If Jimmy had been able to make
a dash he would have found high

and driver ready to pull her wide

1t was recalled that the cars bore
Nebraska numbers.
Cosgrove will be brought before
Judge Wheeler in district court

Wheeler will be asked to revoke his
parole, which automatically will send
Jimmy to the penitentiary for five
years. A few days ago Cosgrove

Threatens to Cost
u. $4,000 1000, 900
So Says Roger Babson, Statis-
tician, in Declaring Scien-
tific Budget Would Cut
Appropriations One-third

WELLESLEY HALL, Mass, Dec. 25.
If the United States were now max
ing appropriations according to a
scientific budget system, the taxpayers
of the country would save at least
$4,000, 100000 next year, in the opinion
of Roger Babson, the statistician. Mr..
Babson's figures are based on the
Treasury Department estimate Of ap-
proprations approximating $4,000, ,0oo,-
900 for 1920
AN intelligently operated budget
should save from onefourth to one
third of the money now being expend-
ed in the operation of the United States
government" Mr.. Bahson said.
There is nothing mysterious nor
complicated about a budget for our
own government" he continued. "If
It were adopted each Of the heads of
the various departments would list re-
Qulrements and present to a Congress
'onal committee an itemized budget of

they could be published, as presented,

the various budgets to reasonable
basis would then present them to Con-
gress, not as tentative plan to be torn
to pieces and amended or as an in
vitaton to a log rolling party, but as
a single finance measure to be passed.
This same Congressional Com
mittee could then levy taxes that
would cover the budget, leaving neither
deficit nor surplus. Our present blind
fold method gets some queer results
on this score. In 1900 we raised $780,
100000 too much. In 1910 we exceeded
expenses by $16,o00,000. In 1915 we
ran in the hole $34,059.6 $50. In 1918
we raised about half enough to meet
current expenses, running behind

The effect of botn suits is to uues-

more than the usual interest in the
determination of the case because it
brings up for the first time the oues-

manner IN which an amendment was
adopted
