AVOCA RIGHT 'IN IT'
IN HELPING OUT RED
CROSS MOVEMENT
From Wednesday's laily.
One of the most enthusiastic Red
Cross meetings that has yet been held
in Cass county took place last even
ing at Avoca, when a car of the Red
Cross representatives from this city
visited at Avoca and laid the appeal
for funds for the aid of the army and
navy sick and wounded before the pat
riotic people of that community. J. P.
Falter, chairman of the boosting com
mittee, and W. A. Robertson and J.
M. Robertson, of this city, were
among those in the party. The meet
ing was addressed briefly by C. E.
Tefft. of Weeping Water, who laid
before his auditors the situation as it
was &t present and the great need for
immediate response on the part of
the American people to protect Amer
ican lives in the great world war. As
a result of the meeting there was a
splendid boost given the work when
in twenty minutes there was raised
$750 of the $1,220 which Avoca pre
cinct is expected to raise for the Red
Cross. This $750 came from those
who were in attendance at the meet
ing and the great majority of the resi
dents of the precinct are yet to be so
licited for their contributions. From
this showing Avoca will more than
reach the amount assigned them as
the workers there are heart and soul
in the boosting of the Red Cross cam-
naitrn. The showing made so far is
one that every resident of that com
munity can feel proud of and Avoca
is setting a great example for the rest
of the county to follow.

GOD'S JUDGMENT
Has Net -Been Broken Since May 1,
and .Crops are Burning Up.
Unusually Hot and Dry Weather Pre
vails Everywhere West of the
Oder River.
Copenhagen (Via London), June 10.
Throughout Germany, according to
reports here, all valuable grain crops
are burning up as they did in 1915 in
an unprecedented heat wave.
The prolonged drouth has not been
broken since early in May.
Berlin on Sunday experienced the
hottest June 17 on record in the
seventy years experience of the weath
er bureau.
Tropical temperatures were also re
ported everywhere west of the Oder
river. Many horses were scratched
on the opening day of the Hamburg
Derby week, because the trade, built
on a marshy corner moor, was baked
too hard for safety.
The effect of the drouth on grain
crops around Berlin, where only eight
millimetres of rain have fallen since
May 1, is described by a neutral who
arrived here on Friday as almost
catastrophal.
The Sunday sermon writer in the
Berlin Kreuz Zeitung, who recently in
dulged in a startling blending of re
ligion and politics, declared on Sun
day that the drouth was sent as a
punishment for the sins of the people
for listening to the editors of irre
ligious newspapers, and asked how
long it would be before this divine
chastisement would bring the people
to a sense of their iniquities.
Venerable jokes about cabbage or
hay cigars have become a sad and
serious reality in Germany owing to
the scarcity and high cost of genuine
tobacco. The latest war substitute
within the purview of the government
al department on substitutes is com
posed of the above, together with
other ingredients like strawberry
eaves, lavender blossoms and sandal
wood to impart aroma.

THE KEET MURDER
Springfield, Mo., June 19. Claude
J. Piersol and Cletus Adams, both of
whom are in jail in Kansas City.
where they were taken for safe keep
ing, are charged with first degree-
murder for alleged complicity in the

mations filed in a justice court here
yesterday afternoon.
The ituance of the warrants was
withheld until todav. Three men now
stand charged with the murder of the
baby. They are Piersol," Adams and
Dick Carter.
It was announced that this after
noon the judges of the Greene county
court would offer "a reward of $1,000
for the "apprehension and conviction
of all the persons connected with the
kidnapping and murder of the Keet
baby."

Thieves Loot Burlington Ccr in Chi
cago, Hind Messengers and
Escape Safely.
Chicago, 111., June 10. Two armed
men, their faces hidden by handker
chiefs, entered the Adams express car
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
passenger train No. 3 as it stood in
the railroad yards tonight, bound
Ward P.. Smiley, the messenger, and
A. R. Andrews, his assistant, and es
caped with between $23,000 and $30,-
000, according to the story told oy
Smiley tonight.
Smiley and Andrews are being ques
tioned by the police. They said they
had been bound by men who held re
vclvers at their heads, but had es
caped by gnawing C'lt'h. other's' bonds
Taken by Surprise.
The robbery occurred while the
train was being made up. The money,
one sack of .cold an.l two of s-ilver
had been checked in at the Adams ex
press office in i.he yard: by the ardent
the safe had been locked and the dial
removed, a customary precaution
against robbery. The car then was
taken by a switch engine into the
yards.
Andrews and Smiley reported that
while the express car was being at
tached to the train the robbers
jumped from behind a trunk and took
them by surprise. When the messen
-crs had been overpowered, they re-
rorted, the robbers fitted a duplicate
dial to the safe and proceeded quick
ly to open the strong box. Having
obtained the gold, they ;umped from
the frain at Harrison street and es
caped.
Consigned to Omaha.
Polic-o investigating the . robbery
said they were endeavoring to find out
why there was delay in reporting the
robberv. Thev declared the ropes with
which the men said they had been
bound bore no evidence of having been
"gnawed."
The missing coin was said to have
been consigned to banks in Omaha
Andrews is from Burlington, la., and
Smiley from Monmouth. 111.
Late tonhrht it was announced that
a package of diamonds also was miss
ing- from the fafe, but no estimate of
the value of the stones was given.

A branch of this organization in this
county. The jroverrynent bureau has
done a great deal in sections of Ne
braska where it has been established
in the way of checking and prevent
ing the spread of disease among the
hogs and cattle and raising the stand
ard of the stock raised in the differ
ent counties. Mr. Hurst is laying the
first plans for the government bureau
in this county and has already come
into touch with a number of the large
hog and stock raisers of the com
munity to interest them in what the
government is hoping to do in this
locality. This is one of the best moves
that could be undertaken by the
farmers of Cass County and will
place them in a position where they
will have the benefit of the force of
government experts in the handling
of any cases of disease that might
create an epidemic, particularly
among the hogs on the farm. It is up
to the farmers to give Mr. Hurst and
his force of assistants all the aid pos
sible in establishing the bureau in
Cass county.

complete reports to American Red
Cross headquarters here showed more
than 35,0OO,0'?0 subscribed during
the first two days of the week's cam
paign to raise $100,000,000 for war

town communities, particularly in the

committees plan to withhold their to
tals until late in the week, in hope of
avoiding a too optimistic spirit. New
York City's total was nearing the
$20,000,000 mark, with $1,000,000 con
tributions from J. P. Morgan and G.
F. Baker.
A single anonymous pledge of $10,
000,000 has been given the war coun
cil tentatively for use in fighting tu
berculosis in Europe.
Generous subscriptions came from
cities having large German popula
tions. Subscriptions for cities included:
Chicago, $442,530; Minneapolis, $450,
386.50; Denver, $200,000; St. Louis,
$426,484.35; New York $20,000,000;
