senator in 1912 was but an incident
of his campaign for municipal owner
ship in Omaha. In 1912 he embarked
on more extensive political career.
He became candidate for Republican
national committeeman and was
elected by $4,000 votes.
In 1914, Mr.. Howell was nominated
by the Republican party for governor,
winning over two opponents. His
campaign in that year carried him
into every corner of the state. Defeat
came as result of the division of
anti Democratic forces between Mr..
Howell and a third candidate repre-
senting the Progressive or "Bull

Moose" party. This constitutes
brief account of the career of the man
who is today the new senator from
Nebraska.
Throughout, it is a career Of af-
frmative action. Never has he known
what it is to hoist a while flag; never
has he permitted himself to despair.
Always his banner has been that of
service to the people whose cause he
has espoused, a service marked es-
pecially by lifting from them the bur-
den of excessive public utility rates,
but no less by consistent support, of
various policies for social and politi-
cal reform.

But the farmers are silent They take it the way

this business matter Write views and they will be
published, pro and con-
Is the dairy propaganda good for grain farmers?
Is it good for dairy farmers?
Should the efforts Of friends be confined improving
herds should they also urge other farmers get in
How many new dairymen can the industry stand?
Is the dairy farmer prosperous? If to what extent?
Is marketing of dairy products including the cow
satisfactory?
What has been your experience in dairying?

The Dollar

The daily actions Of most of us are influenced
by the messages received the telephone
and yet few of us stop to think of the men and
women, and the mechanisms, which help to
make that daily service possible
Maintenance, repairs, and the work of handling
calls, must constantly be carried on in good times
or in bad, and they must be paid for, in order
that your telephone service may be continued
The average dollar will buy to-day less than
two-thirds of what it would buy before the war;
his means that it costs, the average half as
much again to buy most of the things that are
necessary for keeping the country going; but the
advance in telephone is far less than this
average
In fact gauged by the present purchasing
power Of the dollar telephone service in the
country whole is costing the subscriber less
than it did in 1914.
The Bell System generally has been able to
meet higher commodity prices and increased
wages by means of economies in operation
and the increased efficiency of loyal employees

Crop Conditions in Wisconsin.

Cloudy and cool weather with very
little rain during the past week was
favorable for farm work and small
grains. Corn is rather backward and
in need of moisture and warm wealth
er. 1t is still being cultivated in the
northern part of the State, but in
the southern part it is being laid by.
Harvesting of winter wheat is about
to begin. Rye is ripening and filling
we'll. Other small grains are gener-
ly well headed. Cutting of clover and
timothy is in progress over the State.
Heavy rains in several western
counties caused some lodging of hay.
Pastures have deteriorated in most
sections because Of dry weather, and
the output of dairy products has
decreased. Early potatoes are in
blossom and doing fairly well. Some
late potatoes coming up. Bugs are
numerous. Much truck is on the mar
ket and is of good quality. Fruits,
sugar beets, and field peas are in
good condition. Tobacco plants are
not doing very well on account of
dry weather. A light frost on the
26th in several eastern counties caus-
ed slight damage locally.

Celebrates Golden Jubilee.

Platteville Journal: Father James
Cleary celebrated his golden jubilee
at the Church of Incarnation, Mimi
eapolis, Sunday, having been fifty
years a priest. This is big event
and Archbishop Dawling will preach
the sermon. A banquet will be given
at Hotel Radisson at noon. Rev.
Cleary was born at East Troy, Wis,
and was educated for the priesthood
at St. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee.
He was ordained on July 9,1872.
His first parish was Boscobel, then
Platteville for five years, starting. in
1873. Later parishes were Sinsin-
ava, Kenosha, and Minneapolis since
1892. A year ago he erected one of
the finest churches in the country
there. He is we'll known as tenn
perance speaker and polished orator.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Cleary of New
York, and Mrs. T. l.. .Cleary and
Father Lillis attended the ceremony.

Builds TOmbtOnes on the Sides
of CulvertS on Trunk
Highways.

PlatteviAe Witness: We hope we
are not treading on the toes of our
good and capable County Road Com
missioner, Mr.. Mink, but whoever is
to blame for the beautiful tomb
stones erected at the sides of ctlverts
in many places on trunk highways,
ought to have a leather chrome.
Now we know it is none of our
blamed business, for only those who
draw the salaries are permitted to
sass the public, but we have a sneak
ing notion that a tombstone built on
a curve, f" curved take
the one built by Platteville city on
Washington streets far more sens
ible than the ones built in many
places where it is almost too narrow
for two cars to pass.

This Smoker Never Sick.

All pipe smokers know the desir-
ability of a tobacco mixture the smoke
of which will not bite the tongue or
be too hot in the mouth. Mixtures Of
this kind are what manufacturers are
always seeking.
In London (Eng.) an apparatus has
been put into use for the testing Of
smoking tobacco for these qualities
obviating the usual method of per-
sonal trial by an expert. 1t looks like
a telephone box, fastened on WALL
including the wiring. A pipe is loaded
with tobacco and the stem inserted in
a rubber-encircled hole in the box. A
switch is turned the tobacco is lit.
and the electric machine in the box
smokes the pipeful at any rate of
speed required, making record of
the temperature and nicotine content
of the smoke.

A Very Interesting Voyage
By REV. r. G. KIRKBRIDE

My last letter was written and
mailed at Queenstown. Since then
we have been many miles Our first
stop was Sandwich, near Crewe,
where we saw many interesting
things. The first was the old church
which was built in the year 500 A.
d. Many interesting tombstones
were read but space will not allow
me to write them. The sexton al
lowed us to climb the winding, stone,
circular stairway of one hundred
steps which brought us to the top or
the tower and from the summit we
viewed the country for many miles.
Many interesting stories were told
us of the town. In making the de-
scent we stopped to examine the
large bells, eight in number, and my
wife and Alfred wanted to see them
ring so another journey was made on
the Sunday evening before service
which was held at $50 in the even
ing We went to hear the peal of the
bells which took eight men to ring,
one to each bell Alfred and | made
another visit to the church and the
ond sexton wanted us to see the
works of the clocks in the tower.
They were Of great interest. You see
l got in well with the sexton as | do
with Brother Joe in Mineral Point.
In the church there are many tablets
placed on the walls in memory Of
friends and great men. | looked
them all over and they were Of great
interest to me. There was a roll Of
honor which I looked over and count
ed some TAO names of men who left
from that parish for service in the
army during the late war. OF this
number sixty either died or were
killed in action. A beautiful monu-
ment was placed in the market
square in their memory; / have smalI
pictures of the same. Near this place
there also stands two very old cross

Artist Vision.

1t is as though man were shown
crystal, perfect thing, cleaning
below depths of water, far down be-
yond reach. He would dive and dive
again. driven by his great desire to
secure it, until finally, all dripping,
he brought it up. But that in the end
he could bring it, perfect thing, to
us, was possible solely because he
had first seen it cleaning there.
Others might dive and dive, might
work and labor with endless patience
and endless pains, but unless they had
first seen the crystal-unless they
had been given this divine gift of
seeing-this vision-they would come
up empty-handed.
The occasional so-called genius does
not make the crystal but he alone sees
it where it lies cleaning below depths
of water, and by his effort brings it to
us.-Abbott Henderson Thayer.

AUSTRIANS USERS OF ARSENIC
Mountain Folk Make Use of Deadly
Poison for Definite Purpose
Also Fed to Horses.

Inhabitants of Austria, in the
mountains adjoining Hungary, are in
the habit OF eating ARSENIC. The effect
of the poison, when taken in moderate
quantities, is to give freshness to the
complexion, and afterward to impart
a certain degree of embonpoint. An
other advantage which the eaters de-
rive from the use Of the poison is to
have their respiration facilitated in
ascending the mountain. They place
a little piece of arsenic in their mouth,
and they ascend the greatest heights
with ease.
Grooms and coachmen at Vienna
give arsenic to their horses. They
sometimes throw a pinch of it among
the oats, and sometimes tie up small
bit of it in a linen rag, which they
attach to the bit when the horse is
harnessed. The effect on the horses
is to put them in high condition, with
the skin smooth and shining, and to
increase their spirits.
The carriers in the mountainous coun-
tries of Austria are also in the habit
of giving arsenic to their horses when
about to ascend steep road, with the
result that the ascent is made much
easier for the animals.

Back To the Dinosaur.

Springfield Republican: Massachu-
sets people who have visited the din
osaur ledge on the Mount Tom range
and viewed with interest the suppos-
ed tracks of these prehistoric mon
sters, will feel a friendly interest in
Charles G.. D. Roberts's new story
"In the Morning of Time, published
by Frederick A. Stokes company.
The dinosaurs are depicted as
creatures with lizard heads, claws on
short forearms and tiger-fanged
jaws. While science tells us members
Of the disosaurian family fed on
herbs and grasses. Mr. Roberts pro-
trays imaginatice monsters belong
ing to the family of carnivorous din
osaurs, which on a later. day COM
pletely annihilated their herb-eating
brothers. While the story is imagin
alive in Interpretation, it is built on
scientific lore and presents a fascin-
ating subject.
A little later in the morning of
