B. Adams, casbier of the First Na- tional bank of Superior, Neb., was in the city yesterday visiting his son, C. E. Adams Jr. Mr. Adams, speaking of the conditions in Nuckolls and adjoining counties, said prospects were never better for crops than at present. In recent years the farmers of that section of the state have gone into winter wheat raising and have made that business a success. The first persons to engage in the raising of winter wheat lost money because they did not know how adapt hemse! to weather conditions They plowed thelr ground late in the fall and as the toil is loamy it failed to settle before the beavy winds of winter and early spring blew the earth from the roots of the young wheat and the crop was killed by the frost. Now they begin to plow as soon the crop is harvested The land settles and protects the roots of the young plants #o that a crop failure is practically unknown. This spring the wheat is com- ing out in fne shape “The condition at present,” sald Mr. Adaras, “ls ensily ratable at 100 per cent In all of fhe flelds I have seen the carpet | 18 den over the grouad and there is not one bare spot in a whole field.

A Kansas Clty firm has come into the place and established a branch, which 1# haddling more horses than all of the other branches combined, 1 believe, They have buyers In Ifferent parts of the state and have shipped from Superior from eight to ten cars a week.

His test was “And the kingdom sHall be the Lord's’ The passage in Obadiah, the text belug the last clause of that book, foretells the destruction of Edom because of its pride and its violence toward Jacob. He asserted that Christ's kingdom shall be universal because it is founded on the principles of salvation, The expansion that 13 to come In this kingdom was illustrated by the extensions that have come to our national beundaries until they have reached the limits of the world.

We can no more foretell yhat is going to bappen in His kingdom than we can foretell what will come in the material world." This was fllustrated by the discoveries recenily made In the Pacific ocean by 'the United States geographical ship, Nero.
