Lincoln, Aug. 7.—(Special)—A controversy over the raise in rates by the Modern Woodmen of America is up to the supreme court, Anna Dramse having appealed from a judg- ment of the Sheridan county district court on a death certificate for $2,000, held by her husband, Joseph B.

GORN IMPROVES IN |FORD ARRIVES AT ALL PARTS OF STATE ’Rain of Last Week Does the | Business—No Damage from Hot Winds. ALL PARTS OF STATE WET Corn prospects improved generally over the territory covered by the { Burlington crop report for the week ending August 5. Burlington agents estimate that corn on the Omaha di- vision will make 97 per cent of an average crop. The estimate last week was 94 per cent. The Wymore aver- age of estimates increased from 80 to 87 per cent, although the rains were not so evenly distributed in this ter- ritory as on the Omaha and Lincoln divisions. The Lincoln division esti- mate declined from 88 to 82 per ccnt, although the soil condition is re- ported excellent on both the Omaha and Nineoln divisions. 3 “The showers since the first of the month,” the report says, “were in time to prevent any appreciable dam- age to corn on the Omaha and Lin- coln divisions. There are a few places perhaps on the Wymore division where early corn was slightly dam- aged. On the McCook division corn is in such condition that it is hardly ossible to make an estimate as to its present condition, Much depends on the weather from now on. With favorable conditions from now on from 50 to 75 per cent of the crop may be realized. That is probably the most that could be expected even un- der the most favorable conditions. No Harm from Hot Winds. Although temperature has been high all the last week through the corn belt and there have been strong winds in many places, the corn has not suf- fered from “hot winds” as they are known, because the relative humidity has been generally high. The highest rainfall report for the week was at Scott’s Bluff, where 475 inches fell. Seneca, Seward and Cen- tral City received between three and four inches of rain, and Lincoln, York, Stromsburg, Syracuse, Rog- gen, Odell and Eckley all report more than two inches. No station report- ing to the Omaha office was entirely without rainfall. The morning weather reports to the railroads showed temperatures generally about ten degrees lower than during the last month, with light rains and cloudy weather over most of the state, Clay Center, with a fall of .60 of an inch was the wettest sta- tion on the Burlington. The Northwestern reported good rains in Pierce, Antelope and olt counties, and the Union Pacific belt, just east of North Platte, had a good soaking rain, Rain was falling on the Beatrice branch of the Union Pa- cific this morning.

During the first year they were in Omaha the Novaceks bought milk here and there, but four g'ears ago they started to use Alamito Pasf day they use from seven to ten quarts daily and have almost eliminated meat from their diet. Alamito has given this discrim- inating family absolute satisfaction and they would use no other milk but Alamito. In this way this family uses about $20 worth of milk per month and practically no meat, while the ordinary family of this size would use $15 to $20 worth of meat and $6 to $10 worth of milk besides, Legg. “Many of the states have tried it now but they can't wrest supremacy away from Nebraska. “There are reasons for this,” Legg continued, “Nebraska has always been a progressive state and its people have been quick to analyze & new proposition and to adopt it if there was anything in it, so that's why' the kerosene tractor caught on quickly in Nebraska. 4 “Taking it by and large I am will- ing to go on record as predicting a great year in the history of Nebraska agriculture and a show at Fremont will set a new pace for tractor demon- strations,” B g Cyrus H.
