Lightning g Stroke
CutsOffElectric
Power forH Hour
No Damage Done to Building
But Machinery in Main
!, Plant Rendered Useless
Tenporarily.

Lightning struck the main power
house of the, Nebraska Power COM
pany at the foot of Jones street
about 4 yesterday afternoon and did
damage which cut off all electric
light and power in the entire city
for nearly an hour.
Machinery, lights and all electrical
equipment supplied by the company
were quiet and dark for nearly an
hour.
At Sis the plant had been re-
stored to such service that only the
North Omaha and Leavenworth SUBJ
stations were still out of commits
sion. These two supply the north
ern and western part of the city.
They were again III working order
shortly after 6.
The stroke of lightning did no
damage to the building but made
the machinery completely useless
for the. time being. The bolt came
in over the transmission lines and
burned a hole through a six-inch
concrete barrier, thing never be-
fore heard of by local electricians.
Having passed the barrier. it in
stant1y made wreckage of the switch
es, putting the whole plant out of
business.
A large force Of men was set to
work at once clearing UP the debris
and putting in emergency equip
ment, while thousands of telephone
calls sought to get upon the lines
to the company's headquarters to
know what was the trouble.
The material damage was not
heavy, being covered by few hun
dred dollars. But the loss in bus
mess from complete stoppage Of con-
sumption of electricity for even two
hours was many thousands of dol
lars, officials said. i

House Rejects Bill to Bar
Conyicts on State Roads

Lincoln, April 12-fSpecial) BY
an overwhelming vive-voca vote, the
lower house of the state legislature
today voted down resolution by
Representative Harry A. Foster Of
Omaha which would bar Nebraska
convicts from working on state
roads.
Foster, in his resolution, declared
there were thousands of free men in
Nebraska out of work and seeking
employment and it would not be fair
10 force them to compete with con-
vict labor.
Another. problem facing the solons
in this connection is whether the
convicts may build their own re-
formatory, for which 100000. has
been appropriated. 1t is pointed out
in this connection that the federal
government follows that plan, the
Fort Leavenworth prisoners con-
structing their own quarters.

Beer as a Medicine?

Congress has been getting posted
lately on the medicinal properties of
beer. 1t has "seen a light" which has
effectively informed the legislative
mind on two points; the first, that
beer has no qualifications whatsoever
as health-builder, and the second,
that its manufacture and sale is a
game so lucrative for the brewer and
the retailer as to have none of the as
poets as a fair business proposition.
Some would even call it colossal
humbug:
On June 8, letter containing the
following information was sent to
Mr.. Volstead by friend of prohibi-
tion in New York city:
"Some years ago, a German chem
list was brought to New York by a
certain brewing company. Said chem
list was brought to make beer without
malt or hops. A five-year contract, at
a salary of $4,000 year was ar
ranged. When said chemist had been
two years here, the brewery COM
pany had found out his formula for
the making of beer without malt or
hops, so they discharged him. The
chemist then brought suit in the Su-
preme Court in New York City for
the sum of 100000, being the bal
ance of the contract. He stated, under
oath, that the beer was manufactured
at cost of less than 1c per gallon!
He also told how many hundreds of
thousands of gallons he had made
during the two years while he was in
the employ of the company. He made
samples in court of the said beer. He
won his suit and the brewing COM
pany paid him 100000, and the costs
of the suit. This is the stuff brewers
and quack doctors want Congress to
legalize. Ninety per cent of the best
physicians in the United States do
not prescribe beer as medicine-be-
cause it isn't"
This Illuminating statement, our
informant adds, was forwarded to
Mr.. volstead, accompanied by the
request that he give the facts to 'e
Judiciary Committee and to Congress
which he evidently has done without
loss of time.-Christian Herald.

Hog Health in Summer.

Clemson College, July 1s.-What
areeyou doing for the comfort of
the hogs these hot days? Remember
that they should have plenty of shade
and cool place to wallow. A COM
bination of clear, running water,
shade and succulent pasture means
better health, less feed, and more
pork, according to the Clemson Col
lege swine specialists. If you do not
have running water, wallow of con-
crete or lumber should be provided.
The water in this can be kept clean
and fresh, and by adding a little oil
the hogs may be kept free from lice,
which otter cause trouble at this sea-
son. Avoid the filthy, stagnant pool,
which is foul-smelling, unsightly and
unsanitary, and is especially danger
Gus for the young pigs. They get
coated with the filth, have rough
coats, skin diseases, and sores, and
seem to grow smaller instead Of larg-
er. Hogs should have access to fresh
water at all times so that it will not
be necessary for them to drink from
the wallow.
Do not expect the young hogs to
keep healthy and make satisfactory
gains on pasture alone. They will be-
come thin, their vitality will be low
cred, and they will be easily suscep-
tible to the attacks Of parasites and
diseases. Grain feed to hogs on pas
ture makes greater returns than at
any other time. Good results may be
secured by feeding two pounds OF
grain per day for each 100 pounds OF
live weight.
The following mineral mixture will
aid in keeping hogs free from
worms:
Charcoal - IL parts
Air-slaked lime or wood = =
ashes = 3 parts
Common salt = - parts
Copperas = = = 80 1 part
Sulphur = = 1 part

unsurpassed in the State. Through a
bond issue of one million dollars
Greenville county has solved once
and for all the road question in that
county. 1t is no longer question of
building roads, but merely one of
maintenance. There is not a mile of
public road in Greenville county of
any Importance that has not been
graded and top soiled, making of it a
road upon which a; car or a heavily
loaded truck or wagon can travel
satisfactorily any day in the year and
through all sorts of weather. This
modern system Of roads is one of
Greenville's best assets. While the
city's industrial support or backing
is equal to or stronger than that of
any other city in the State, it has
also strong agricultural backing
for many miles in every direction. A
spin over Greenville county roads
will cause any man to commit him
self unreservedly to a modern road
building policy for his county. With
scores and hundreds of miles of good
roads leading in to the city from
practically every outlying rural COM
munity, like spokes of a wheel con-
verging at the hub, or to change the
figure, like so many pipe lines pour
ing the cream and wealth of the soil
into Greenville's Golfers, this modern
city can defy defation and depression
of every sort.
Closing Session.
The closing business session was
taken up with the reports of commit
tees and the election of officers. Mr..
Jordan having served as president as
long as the constitution permits, Mr..
H., G. Osteen of Sumter was elected
presidents. Mr.. Rion McKissick, ed
itor of the Greenville Piedmont, first
Mr.. o. K. Williams of
Rock Hill, second vice-president; Mr..
August Kohn of Columbia, treasurer,
Mr.. Harold Booker of Columbia, Sec
retary.
The members who attended the
1921 session of the South Carolina
Press Association were loath to turn
heir faces homeward at the close
If the last session, so pleasant had
been their stay in Greenville. And
:or these three days of delightful di-'
version they were indebted more to
he newspaper men of Greenville, Mr..
aion McKissick and Mr.. George R.
1oester of The Piedmont, and Mr.. B.
L. Peace of the News than to any
,ther persons. The universal wish Of
he. newspaper folk of South Caro-
ina is that Greenville, now easily the
eading convention city of South
Carolina, be made the permanent
Meeting place of the South Carolina

Producing Clean Sweet Po-
tato Seed.

Clemson College, July 1S.-Dis-
ease takes too large proportion of
the sweet potato crop, says DR.. c. A.
Ludwig, associate plant pathologist,
who declares that this loss is not
necessary since most of the potato
diseases are easily controlled by
growing clean seed preferably from
vine cuttingsl) storing these careful
ly, treating With corrosive sublimate
or formaldelyde before planting and
planting in lisease-free soil.
Now is the time to begin planning
for clean crop of sweet potatoes
next year. This is especially true
where ther is more or less black rot
or wilt in this seasons crop. These
diseases, as well as others, are trans
mitted from one year to another on
the seed sock. They are especially
apt to be transmitted where growers
follow the practice of bedding small
potatoes ad strings from the main
crop. Froi some points of view the
strings aP better than large pota-
toes for bedding. However, strings
and small potatoes are much more
apt to CRY disease than others. If
strings ad culs are to be bedded
they ouet, by all means, to be Sc
lected fom healthy, high yielding
hills at tgging time.
But aItill better way is'to use cut
tings # raising seed. Cuttings
should e taken from the vigorous,
healthyYSines and should be cut far
enoughlrom the base of the plant to
avoid e possibility of including any
disease tissues from the parent
plant.
Corresponding care should be tax
en- to liant them in clean soil. 1t is
best t put them where sweet pota-
toes i've not been grown for several
years If planted during July they
will b likely to mature a crop of dis
ease Zee potatoes which will not be
too Ege for satisfactiry bedding.
In my case the seed stock when
gath ed next fall should be Grated
carelly and stored in place in the
hous as far as possible from the
mairrop. Before bedding next
sprii they should be given the cor
rosi sublimate or formaldehyde
treaent to kill any disease spores
tina may have lodged on the out
sidand should be bedded in clean
soil

called the greatest singing actress of

thought II best to be only an actress

There still survived in that benighted
