Farmers of
Are
Optimistic
Meetings of Organized Agri-
culture Filled With Con-
fidence for New
Year.
Women Show Interest

Lincoln. Jan. 3.-(Special) - All
signs point to better times on the
farm.
The meetings of organized agricul-
ture on the campus of the state col
lege of agriculture are filled with
quiet confidence and an earnest de-
termination for the new year. The
most cheering news was that of
Thorne A. Browne of the state rail-
way labor board. who declared Ne
braska railroads could now fairly be
asked to reduce freight rates on agri-
cultural products.
In some respects the standard of
living on the farms has received a
setback. Country people will always
have plenty to eat. but they have
done with less new clothing, fewer
luxuries and postponed improvements
during the past two years that other.
wise would have been made. 1t has
been period of sacrifice in which at
tention has been centered on getting
out of debt and recouping past losses.
Women Interested.
The average farm wife has been
more interested in what caused the
blotch in an alfalfa field than In get
ting new power washing machine.
Innumerable instances might be re-
ported Of women who have refused
to have modern conveniences in.
stalled in their homes until they are
sure that the finances of the family
are in good shape.
One of the most interesting confer
ences of the campus Is that of the
Nebraska Home Economics associa.
ton. Though there is no neglect in
this meeting of cultural and hu-
manitarian subjects. it Is noticeable
that their main interest is in what
may be called the more practical
topics. These farm women are alert
to learn everything they possibly
can about the traffic. The demonstra-
tions of home dressmalsing and mil
linery and the reports of the girls
sewing and clothing clubs are typi-
cal examples.
Perhaps the greatest interest was
aroused by the address of w. II. Bro
nav, ulI6CtOE OIL the state extension
service. on farm accounting. Many
women came forward to ask for fur.
ther information on how to keep books
and to ask that classes be organized
in their communities. Many chill
dren's accounting clubs have already
been formed about the state. Mr..
Brokaw explained that only by keep
ing books could farmers find the
leaks or what sort of farming paid
best in their localities. Thus, a man
might make a profit on his grain and
lose 1t on his stock and yet not be
able to tell just where the shortage
had come in unless he kept track of
the separate items.
Must Study Costs.
I'VE have to study farm conditions
more closely" Mr.. Brokaw declared.

lar farming community needs in order
to prosper? We have to go deeper
than ever before. Advice that is

to unite all defendants for the pur-
pose of handling the defense most
advantageously," one member of the

Scattered Over Two States.
Defendants to tho suit are scattered
all over Iowa and Nebraska and it
is understood that ono of the conten-
tons will be that the stockholders
can be sued only int heir own coun-
ties and that the receiver cannot
bring a blanket suit in federal court.
Another contention probably will
be that the notes upon which the suit
is brought were obtained by misrepre-
scnation and fraud. and are therefore
not a valid cause of action.
