THE STATE' WARDS. 3 ALL OVER NEBRASKA USE HERO NE PER OATS CROP SAjO TO BE GREATEST IN HIS-! TORY OF STATE. FIGURES TO PROVE THE SUE Workof Gathering Corn Statistics Will Not Begin till Some Time in October. "The banner oats crop 'of Nebraska's history was harvested this year," said Deputy Labor Commissioner Maupin. "From 2,543,858 acres we have realized 71,532,357 bushels of oats, beating the 1909 crop by bushels.

The 1910 acreage exceeded the acre age of 1909 460. "About the first of July we began hearing disheartening reports about the wheat crop, and immediately this department began a systematic inves tigation. The results led the depart ment to estimate that the wheat yield would exceed 40,000,000 bushels, de spite the prediction of disaster that were being circulated. A little later the department increased this esti mate about 3,000,000 bushels. The yield of winter wheat amounts to 867,317 bushels, and of spring wheat 4,535,856, a total of 5,410,427 bushels The 1910 acreage of both spring and winter wheat exceeded the 1909 acreage by 167,827 acres.

The average yield of winter wheat was 17.6 bush els per acre. While this may appear a large average" yield to many, the correctness of the estimate is borne out by upwards of 900 reports from men of many, years' experience in crop estimating and reporting. does not put a very large acreage in either rye or barley, but the yield is enough to warrant a larger cultivation of these grains. This year from 71,539 acres Nebraska will thresh 750,543 bushels of rye, and from 115,957 acres will thresh 2,306,238 bushels of barley. "The most satisfactory reports come of the quality of the small grain crop, especially oats.

Not only is the oats crop the best in the state's history, but the quality Is the best. "The work of gathering corn statis tics will not begin until October 1, but the department's correspondents are writing in letters every day that are filled with the most encouraging reports. Six weeks ago the corn was half killed; a month ago there wasn't any corn crop. By the middle, of August the reports from the corn fields were enough to make a man's face grow so long that it would, meas- BUM Pl aPk I fill I 9 liVl fc tlh tl It 1 iWflfUI I 'SIP IuLIA! mtmimmm. ----'-t, -in infill ttrtii -J 1 II For Infants and Children.

State Treasurer Brian believes the next legislature should be liberal in its appropriations- for the maintenance of state institutions, to the end that the unfortunates of the state may be cared for la a humane man ner. At the Insane asylum at Lincoln and at Hastings, Mr.

Drian says there should be an additional building con structed, to care for the patients. The new building at Hastings, which it was thought would take care of the increased number of insane has not proven adequate, while at the Lincoln institution there is need, not only for more room for the patients, but for the attendants as well. 'At the Lincoln asylum," said Mr. Brian, "the attendants are not housed as they should be. They sleep in rooms off from the wards, where the patients are kept and it stands to reason they can get very little rest.

At Hastings there is a separate cot tage for the attendants, where they can live. The legislature should ap propriate enough money to build a cottage for the attendants. The room that they now take up in the main building could well be used for tire patients. "There should also be a separate building for the treatment of inebriates. These people should not be compelled to live along with the In sane people.

It is very probable the normal schools may need new buildings, but there is no question but what the capacity of the asylums should be increased, for the state certainly snould look after its unfortunates and look after them right." Court Martial for Guards. The military board of the national guard met and decided to issue an order calling a court-martial to try the members of the guard who failed tp go to Fort Riley. The punishment is a one, imprisonment, or uisnunui- able discharge from the guard. Adjutant General Hartigan has on file charges against twenty young men who disobeyed the orders to at tend the encampment and it is expected that commanders of companies will report more. This is thefirst time that a court- martial for this purpose has ever been called in the state, and for sev eral days the adjutant general hes itated about taking the action be cause of the cost.

He decided with the other members of the military Colonel Eberly and Colonel Mack, that the best interests of the guard could be served by such a proceeding. The court will consist of seven members detailed from the guard and the judge advocate general will also be appointed for this occa sion. Adjutant General Hartigan will will prefer all the charges. Some of the cases, he said, are very aggravating. Chosing Rhodes Scholars.

After Nebraska Spuds. T3rown County The farmers of this section are harvesting their potatoes and are finding a readymarket.

Chicago buyers have thus, far bought everything In sight and the "spuds" are being shipped at the rate of five cars per day and this will be increased soon.

One farmer' contracted for his entire cron of 8,000 bushels at 65 cents a bushel The acreage this year was the great est in the history of the county and the yield is good, the greater number of potato raisers reporting about 110 bushels to the acre. The pota-, toes, while not quite as large as in years gone by, are declared by pqrato experts to be of first-class quality, Profiting by last year's experience, when thousands of bushels were frozen in the ground, there is a great hustle to get thera out of the ground and three weeks more will witness the finish of potato digging.

Memory of the heroine ol Prussia, Queen Louise, the centenary of whose death Germany has been com memorating, will never fade from the pages of her country's history. Hex brief life for she died at thirty-four covered a most eventful period of the country's annals; and in the drama ol war and disaster the "Martyr Queen," the "Good Queen," the "Prussian Ma donna," by all of which appellations the beloved queen Is known, played a foremost part. Her domestic virtue and the suUerlngs she endured in her patri otic efforts to defend her country against Napoleon are related to every pupil and her portrait hangs on the wall In many a Prussian home. Born in Hanover In 1776, she be came the wife of the crown prince of Prussia at the age of seventeen, and he became king four years later. She proved a devoted wife to Frederick William nil, who married her for love, but her husband's weakness, or, per haps, vacillation, brought humiliation upon her and upon his countryt He delayed resistance to Napoleon's ag gression until resistance was in vain.

Persuaded into war with France by his dauntless queen, who herself went to the front wearing the uniform of her regiment of dragoons, his military preparations -were swept away at Jena and Auerstadt. Before the Gallic In vader the royal couple fled from Ber lin, for the resolute woman Insisted Pi at 4 that her husband refuse all terms with "the Genius of Evil," as she called Bonaparte. At Koenlgsberg, however, one of their children was stricken with fever, and she, remaining to care for him, contracted the disease. Napoleon continued onward, and in midwintei Louise was taken from her bed to a carriage, and after a Journey of extreme hardship found refuge in Memel But further disasters compelled Prussia's submission. Then came greater humiliation for the unhappy queen.

Libeled by Napoleon in his "Bulletins, nevertheless she consented to an Interview with him at Tilsit, hoping to obtain more generous conditions of peace for her country. The meeting was a bitter one for her, and in vain, as the victor refused her request that Magdeburg be restored to Frederick William. The idol of her people because of her great beauty and dignity, added to her lovely character and wide benevolence, her early death, which occurred July 19, 1810, caused widespread mourning. On March 10, 1813, the anniversary of her birth. King Frederick William III.

founded the Order of the Iron Cross, to be bestowed for valor, in war against France. On the sixtieth anniversary of her death, her son, King William I. of Prussia and later the first German emperor, revived decoration, and on the same day the formal declaration of war on the part of the French government arrived In Berlin. Annually on that day a quaint ceremony takes place in the garrison church of Berlin, when the "Louise brides," as they are called, are married. In her will Queen Louise pro vided that every year six servant girls Vbo had served their masters faithfully and desire to marry shall receive a dowry of about $90, provided they marry soldiers in the Berlin garrison church.

At Cbarlottenburg the ashes of the beloved queen are contained In a beau tiful mausoleum. The sarcophagus, the master work of the sculptor Rouch, Is famous. Many monuments have been erected to her memory. Thus lives the memory of the sweet and womanly Queen Louise, whose un tiring efforts against Napoleon's power were to prove so fruitless during her life. Despite the titles of love be-itowed upon her by a reverent people, she died an unhappy queen.

i things began changing; and today we are getting the most optimistic re There never was a season prior to this that better exhibited the recuperative powers of Nebraska soil." Endorsed Judge Mills.
