The conference had to do with figuring out ways and means for handling the Nebraska small grain orop that is now being harvested. All of the officlals at the conserence assert that the Nebraska wheat crop this year f8 going to be the largest in the history of the state and the opinion 8 that if prices start in reasonably high it will move after threshing starts. Last year the first new wheat ap- peared on the Omahs market July 6. This vear on account of the comtinued rainy Weather that has prevented wheat from ripening and the delay in the har- vest, It is not expected that shipmeWis will appear on the market much before July % Preparing for Rush.

Ban Francisco Chronicle: From so much as has been made public, the important point Is that there is an entire absence of the belligerent spirit. With this in mind, if it s found that Germany s asking us to abridge certain of our rights on the high seas, we ought to be able to argue that issue without any indulgence in vemarks calculated to arouse international anomosity. Des Molnes Capital: The point of im- portance In connection with the lates German note is that it does not represent a “chip on the shoulder” attitude. Des Moines Tribune: Germany has de- wcided that its submarine operations are important enough to risk adding the United States to the list of its enemies. President Wiison will now have to de- cide how important are the rights which he has set out to maintain. That he will agree to the German proposal is unlikely. “ % ¢ s ¢ Our honor has not been tacked by any agency that a duelist would recognize as composed in mind.

Loulsville Times: Two months after the sinking of the Lusitania Germany not only ignored every request made for reparation, but imposes rules and regula- tiona of its own making i to neutral rights and international law, with Which ne self-respecting government ean comply.

BSome days during the recent rainy sea- son when the roadbed is in a very wet condition the one train a day that is supposed to make the round trip some- time during the dav is unabie to perform the feat. On these days two trains are put onto the line, one starting from oach end of the line very early in the morning. . In this way the foad is able to glve two-way service to all of the towns on the line. The schedule is different on the days when two trains run than on davs when the one train makes its round trip.

His suit for divorce came into court last fall.

According to Yetter, the agreement was finally brought about by Mrs. Edna Head, wife of a banker of Jefferson, Ia., the close friend of both of them. Mrs. Head tried to get him to withdraw the suit, Yetter sald today, after the dlvorce was granted. When he refused to do that she prevailed on him to allow Mrs. Yet-, ter to get the divorce, impressing him with tho fact that if he should be given a divorce it would leave a stigma 6n Mrs. Yetter.

D., July 10.—(Special.)— For weeks Willlam Cass, a farmer living in Morton township, has been puzzled to know how he could drain an immense slough on his farm so he could cut the hay from the land covered by the slough. Yesterday a baby tornado visited his farm and accommodatingly solved the problem for him by sucking up practically every drop of water in the slough. Now he can go ahead and cut the hay as soon as the grass has attained the proper height. The slough covered three or four acres and the water was from two to three feet in depth. The twister passed almost di- rectly through the center of it. News Notes of Columbus.

BERLIN (Via London), July 10.)—Com- menting on the German reply of July 8 to the Americ note dated June 9, rela- tive to Germany's submarine warfare and its effect on American interests the Morgen Post today says: “The answer in every way ls worthy of Germany. it shows the calm of a good consejence, a willingness to lessen the | teartulness of war as far as possible and |an upright wish to live in peace with America, But it also expresses a firm will not to abate one jot or tttle of Ger- many's rights. The answer clearly shows that the responsibility for the form of submarine warfare rests on Great Britain.” The Morgen Post quotes the American note where it declares that the ‘‘govern- ment of the United States cannot admit | that the proclamation of a war zone from which neutral ships have been warned to keep away may be made to operate as in any degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American shipmasters or of American citizens bound on lawful er- rands as passengers on merchant ships of belligerent nationality,” and says: ““This was a point on which American and German conceptions were opposed to each other and it must be pointed out that this difference of opinion also is not compromised by the new German note, but that rather it still exists in its essen- tial features.'” The Morgen Post also says: “Feeling In the United States is changed from what it was at the time of the | Lusitania sinking and President Wilson will have to satisfy this new feeling in considering and answering the present |note, That the note will meet unrestrained | approval at the hands of a large part of Americans is certaln.” Women Mail Carriers.
