A Velvet Bean Convert. Ujshopville, Feb. ,12. ? Early last spring, says J. P. Quinerly, Farm Demonstration Agent of Lee Coun ty, I was called to a remote section of the county to investigate an epi demic of cattle which proved to be hemorrhagic septicaemia. When I went back to inoculate these cattle, I went among other placfes to the home of Albert M. Rogers, Lucknow, S. C., a small though progressive k?oking farmer. Hi? cattle were poor and he said feed was too high to buy. I suggested velvet beans. Saturday, Mr. Rogers came to my office. It was the first time ? I had seen him since the day I treated his cows. He came to get information on how to put out a Bermuda grass pasture, saying, "All I need now in\ something for my cows and hogs in the summer; velvet beans will do thei [rest." "So you tried the beans, I pre-> sume." "Yes ? and man, they are the thing. My cows are all fit and giving more milk and butter than we know what to do with. Likewise with all my neighbors' cows, for my fields have fed them all since November, and there are still beans galore there now! They will all plant velvet beans this year because they can't do without them and I have given them warning that I will iencc my place next fall. It is the first time our folks have had fat Cattle and hogs in the fields this time of year. I'll tell the world velvet beans are the thing!" "And, Mr. ? Rogers, you will like them still better when you see the crops that follow in that velvet bean field," I remarked in parting. Rev. J.

Ne braska, mean ing "shallow water," and from this fame the name of the slate. A nickname for the state Is the Blackwater State. Of the early Spanish explora tions little is known, except that Coronado probably reached the great plain of this region in 1541. More than one hundred and twenty-five years later Father Marquette noted the Platte river on his trip up the Missouri. In the beginning of the Nineteenth century the Lewis and ('lark ex pedition skirted the boundaries of the present Btate and In 1805. Manuel Lisa established the first known settlement which was a fur trading post at Bellevue. This was Just after the Louisiana Purchase had brought Nebraska into United States territory. Omaha was established os a post of the American Fur com pany in 1825 and Nebraska City the following year. With the California gold rush in 1840 many pioneers ' passed through Nebraska andv some stopped and settled there al though there was a law forbid-, ding settlements among the In dians. The ' real colonization boom, however, started with the passing of the Kansas-Nebraska act In 1854, which arranged that these two sections should become free or slave states at the dic tate of their Inhabitants. The Nebraska territory was then or ganized and reached from the fortieth to the forty-ninth paral lel. In 1861, the region north of 43 was made into Dakota territory. The Idaho territory was also created, which re duced Nebraska to its present size of 77,520 square miles, ex cept for a slight addition in the Northwest which was made in 1882. In 1807 Nebraska was admit ted as the 37th state over the president's veto. It ha.> eight presidential electors. (? by MoClur* N?wspap?r Syndicate ) G. A.

John Garland Pollard, of ihe facul ty of the College of Williams and Maty, of Virginia, has forwarded a copy of the "William and Mary Cit izenship Creed" formulated by the students of the classes of Virginia government and citizenship with the atlvice and help of leading statesmen and scholars throughout the country. William and Mary Citizenship Creed 1922. We, the members of the classes in Virginia government and citizenship of the Marshall-Wythe School of Gov ernment and Citizenship, of the Col- , lege of William and Mary, at Wil liamsburg, Virginia...... do declare that the following is a summary of our conception of our duties as citizens to the government under which we live: My Duties as a Citizen. To acquaint myself \yith those fun damental principles embodied in our <. constitutions and laws which experi ence has shown are essential to the preservation of our liberties and the promotion of good government, and to defend those principles against all j attacks. To inform myself on all public is sues, and on the character, record and platform of all .candidates for of fice, and to exert actively my influ ence in favor of men and measures in which I believe. To vote in ?every election, primary and general, never using my vote for personal or private ends, but only for the public good, placing the wel fare of my country above that of my party, if the interests of the two ( should ever conflict. To connect myself with the politi cal party which most nearly repre sents my views on public questions, and to exert influence within the par ty to bring about the nomination of gootl men for office and the endorse ment of measures for the public weal. 9 To have the courage to perform my duties as a citizen regardless of the effect upon me financially or social ly, remembering that a cowardly citi zen is as useles to his country in time of peace ns a cowardly soldier is in time of war. To stand for honest election laws impartially administered. To obey "ajl laws whether I them wise or not, and to uphold the officers in the enforcement of the law. To make full and honest returns of all my property and income for taxation. To be ever ready to serve my coun try in war, and in peace, especially in such ^inconspicuous capacities as juror and election official. To acquaint myself with the func tions of the various departments of my government and to spread the knowledge of the same among my fellow citizens in order that they may enjoy to the fullest extent the advan tages offered by the government, and may more fully recognize the govern ment as a means of service to the peo ple. To encourage good men to enter public service and remain therein by commcnd in# the faithful performance of their duties and by refraining from criticism except such as is found on a knowledge o i facts. To aeok to promote good feeling be tween all gVoups of my /el low citi sens and" to resist as in tot leal to public welfare nil partisan efforts to [ excite race, religious, class and sec tional prejudice. Not to think alone of what my gov ernment can do for me but more about what I can do for it. To inform myself with respect to the problems which confront my country in its- foreign relations, and , to support policies which safeguard ! its legitimate interests abroad and which recognize the responsibilities of the United States as a member of international society. Prudence. In Georgia they tell of a country minister, the Reverend Tyler Bliss, who waH driving a spirited horse through a village, when hd overtook the local physician, who happened to be on foot, and invited him for a lift. Ten minutes later the horse bolted, tipped over the carriage and spilled both men. The doctor rose to his feet, and felt himself over to see whether he was injured. Then he turned angrily toward the clergyman. "See here," he demanded. "What do you mean by inviting me to ride behind an anirpal like that?" "Well," replied the minister mildly, "it wub lucky that this time there were no bones biroken. But I always like to have a doctor with me whe? I drive that horse. Amorican le gion Weekly. North American Bird. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 26. ? Dr. Frank Blair Hanson, head of the department of zoology at Washington Universi ty, says that a bed of asphalt found in California, which had caught ami preserved the skeletons of animals, birds and reptiles, has been of uim measuurable value to science." Ani mals are caught in the asphalt bed as flies on fly paper, he explained. "One of the interesting facts dis covered in this fossil bed," he con tinued, 'Mb that the peacock, former ly believed to be a native bird of Asia, was a north American bird." | A claim of the United States gov ernment. against the Lincoln Motor company of Detroit, Mich., for war -time o\ ei -charges and advances, to taling $9,000,000 has been compro mised and settled with a check for $ 1,650, 000.
