Estimate Nebraska's
Winter Wheat Crop at
100000 Bushels

Lincoln, April 10.-(Special. y
Nebraska has chance to make her
record production of winter wheat,
according to estimates just an
nounced by the bureau of crop esti-
mates and the State Board of Agri-
culture. The large acreage and
present high condition of 81 per
cent of normal crop indicates a
possible production of 68.000,000
bushels. With the present ex-
cellent soil conditions and continued
favorable weather the production
may even exceed this quantity. The
condition a year ago was rs per cent
and the approximate l0-year ave-
rage IS per cent.
The condition of wheat for the
United States is 9o.8 per cent COM
pared to 1916 per cent last year and
$50 per cent the approximate 10
year average. This is an abnormally
high condition for a record acreage.

needs large amounts of cash for the
payment of debts and the advantage
GUS settling of war contracts. The
proceeds of the Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds have been spent. A large pur-
chase of Savings Stamps at this time
will give the Government the money
it needs and will do much toward
making certain permanent peace and
prosperity in this and other countries
of the world.

GUM TAKES PLACE OF WATER
Assuages Thirst Of Soldiers Fighting
In Country Where Liquid Was
Practically Unobtainable.

OF all the varied means of masti-
catory stimulation which have been
resorted to by man in all climes and
ages the great American gum seems
least harmful and most helpful. That
there is physiological demand for
some masticatory stimulant, says the
New York Medical Journal, is shown
by the universally of the practice Of
chewing. Whether it be the tobacco Of
the American Indian, the betel nut Of
the East, the slippery elm bark, the
tamarack and the spruce gum Of the
down-east Yankee, the sweet gum Of
the Gulf states, the chicle of the Mexi-
cans, which. in its American adapta.
tion, becomes the great American
chewing gum. man has always felt the
necessity Of chewing something moro
than his meals. That there is a prac-
tically useful side for this habit IL
evidenced by the orders placed by the
quartermaster Of the United States
army for 100000 packages of this
standard American dainty. We learn
from the war department that the
commanding officer of field artillery
regiment, about to embark, stated that
$50 pounds Of chewing gum would
take the place Of hundreds of gallons
Of drinking water when water was
most needed and least readily obtain
able. The American Red Cross re-
Gently cabled an order for chewing
gum for use in the reconQuered ter
ritory where the wells had been pois-
oned by the retreating Germans.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM FREEZING


VIM. Sawyer, who has been on the
f. A. Palfrey farm the past year or so
had narrow escape from freezing to
death last Friday afternoon while
hauling a load of grain to Luverne.
On the road near the jacobson farm
he got stuck in snow drift and
tipped over and in the mix-up both
legs, below the knees, were pinned
under the tank and all efforts to get
them out were vain. The accident
occurred shortly after one o'clock and
it was about five thirty when Mr..
Jacobson discovered his position and
released him. His feet and legs and
one side of his face were quite badly
frostbitten. Had he not been discov-
cred at the time he was, the results
would probably have been fatal. He
is now able to be around again and
getting along nicely.

tional direction. 1t was evident that
the campaign for the sale of these
smaller securities had been a sort of
hit or miss affair, good, bad, or indif-
ferent, depending on the efficiency and
enthusiasm of local organizations.
Several months ago it was decided to
put the sales organization of War
Savings Stamps in the hands of l..
B. Franklin, national director of four
successful Liberty Loan drives. His
official title thereupon became Direct
or of the War Loan Organization and
he was given national charge Of the
placing of the forms of Government
securities mentioned above
The Treasury Department delegated
to each of the twelve governors Of
the Federal Reresrve banks the re-
sponsibility of building and putting in
to working order the necessary ma
chinery for the sale of all Government
securities in his district. The method
Of appointing these forces and of or
ganizing them. most efficiently was
left to the judgment of each bank gov
ernor.
Governor Theodore Wold of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District has in
turn delegated the work of organizing
and directing the Government securi-
ties sales forces to the Central Com
mittee Of the Ninth District of which
A. R. Rogers of Minneapolis is the
executive head. This is the committee
which has been so eminently sue
cessful during the last three Liberty
Loan drives and has placed the Ninth
District in an enviable position of
leadership.
Two Distinct Organizations.
Mr.. Rogers announces that the old
Liberty Loan organization, including
state, district, county and local chair
men and workers which numbers
nearly 100000 individuals will be kept
intact to prepare and carry through
the Fifth Liberty Loan drive which
will be made some time in April. Dis.
tinct from this organization, yet
part of it as far as district direction
is concerned will be the old War Saw
ings Stamp state organizations of
Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Northern Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan. These state
organizations will also be kept intact
as far as possible and will form the
nucleus of the Government Savings
Stamp Division Of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization.
The personnel of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization that will have
supervision over the sale of these
Government securities during 1919 is
rs follows:
A. R. Rogers, Chairman Central
Committee; Homer P. Clark, Vice
Chairman Central Committee; Benz.
S. Bull, Director of Publicity; Joseph
Chapman, Director of Speakers Bu-
reau.
Liberty Loan Division: Chas. e.
Van Nest. Director of Organization;
EK. Stuart Director Of Inyestiga.

ton will endeavor to help tho people
on the firing line. We will do every
thing we possibly can to show them
the necessity for loaning money to
their Government and to help convert
those who do not understand.
'The great mass of people have
never fully realized the importance
and the value to individuals and to
good Government Of buying Savings
Stamps. Owing largely to the fact
that the Liberty Loan drives have oc-
cupied the center of the stage the
smaller securities have seemed some
what trivial. This has never been the
right attitude and it is more import
ant. now than ever before that we
should change our view point. The
fact that Government Savings Stamps
can be and are purchased by many
thousands of people who are not able
to buy Liberty Bonds makes this form

on the part Of some people that the
soldiers dodge religious services. Dur
