That the friends might be remem bered, they contributed, each one a portion to create a purse that the family might purchase in their new home something of common usage, which would remain with them as a representative of the good will of their former friends at Plattsmouth. Rev. E. II. Pontias, minister of the United Brethren church, of which the Schopp family are members, made the presentation speech, and in a very touching manner said: "We have come here to bid you God speed in this life full of activ ity and as you have been here an excellent neighbor, a true friend, a hard ana1 zealous worker for th things which are worth while, and which have been the ones thai have always counted in the betterment of this community, in a business sense, in the social position, in the church and in the public schools, we are loath to part with you. You have received a vision of needed work in another portion of the Lord's vine yard, and with his blessings and the best wishes of your every friend ac companying you and your family, as hut a farewell and not good bye, for we will still consider you as one of m:, although you may be remov ed by a few miles." With his heart filled with emotion cn account of the feelings cf their many friends, Mr. Schopp responded, saying: "It is with feelings which scarcely permits or me expressing myself, that I am endeavoring to thank you. our friends, for this ex pression of your friendship." re counting many of the incidents that during his life had endeared the en tire family to the neighborhood. At times his voice threatened to give way. but the moisture in the eyes of most of those present betokened what was in his own heart. ."Mr. Schopp and family will mal e their home cn an elegant farm which they purchased but a short time ago through the agency of W. E. Rosen crans, and which lies just at the edge of Imperial. It is a rdnee which he and his family prize highly and where they hope to succeed well in pursuit of their occupation, that of farming.

WANT REGISTRA TION OF BABIES 100 PER CENT WHENEVER A EABY IS E0RN OR A PERSON DIES IT IS OF UT MOST IMPORTANCE Registration of Babies Born Durin Past Year Only 62 Per Cent Efficient Due to Laxity. From Friday's Daily. The Journal is in receipt of the following letter from the State De partment of Health at Lincoln, and would urge that its readers not only take note of the request made here in, but do their utmost to comply with the same: "We are exceedingly anxious to have our births and deaths record ed 100 per cent, and it seems that there are a great many people who do not know th.it the State of Ne braska records births and deaths. j We believe the figures from your county may be of interest. "Whenever a baby is born or a person dies, it is of the utmost im portance that same be recorded, at the State House. In almost every town we have a local registrar, and we would ask that the mothers of the children born see that the baby's birth is properly recorded. The phy sician, etc., usually attends to this, but as our registration last year re garding births was only G2 per cent of what it should be. we believe if the mothers and fathers would ex ercise the proper interest, better re sults would be accomplished. "To the mother of each baby whose birth is recorded beginning December, 1917, we will send a book entitled, "Your Baby How to Keep It Well." "The recording of a birth is a legal record, and establishes tin identity of the child. We make no charge for such a record. "The number of births recorded in Cas3 county last year were 3"2, of which 197 were boys and 15" girls. The number of native fathers was 307 and of native mothers 321. The number of foreign fathers was 4,5 and of foreign mothers 31. Their were 4 pairs cf twins, of- which 5 were boys and 3 girL. No triplets were born in this county during the past year."

They have tree classes of those who take special training in fine shooting. They are markmen7 sharp shooters and experts. In the training Ed. has made records which has placed him in the class of ex perts and kept him there. Mr. Ed. Bashus has always liked the hand ling of a gun. and was always con sidered a good shot, and now giving special attention to it, lie has devel oped into an expert. We are pleas ed to see him go to the top in this matter and expect to see him 'Go over the top' when the time tomes. GOES TO HOSPITAL AT OMAHA. ITrom Friday's Tailv. Mrs. A. G.

Last summer the city of Platts mouth entered into a contract with the Western States Construction Company for the paving of Chicago avenue, in the bonds for the contract, the Western States Construction Company agreed to complete the work within ninety days from the time it was begun. This was one of the essential features of the con tract. The -work was not done, on time and has not been completed as yet ,wc have no definite promise whe;i it will be done. The avenue has been torn up, during all this time, this to the inconvenience and detriment of the traveling public, the city and those who are living along the thor oughfare. The bottom has been layed with concrete and fcr fear a little dirt might be gotton on this bottom, the contractors have endeav- orcd to close this street many months after the date of the expiration of their contract for the time when it should be completed, but yesterday one of their employes rolled barrels of tar across the street to obstruct travel, to the detriment of the pub lic, and threatened the arrest of any one attempting the using of the ave nue. The question arises have we coupled ourselves up with an aggre gation which is taking a grip on our thoroughfares, fcr time and a day, that we nicy not use them, and be coming our masters and dictators, or have we hired seme one to make im provements, is the way we har; a right to direct. We required a bond from these people, and what for to compel them to do the work and do it right, or as a form a camouflage, or what. WILL MAZE HOME IN THE WEST. Frnrri Friday's Daily.

S, JU3D IHE STATE APPROVE Have Comlrncd to Give Financial Sapport to Operation of This Eneejlcnt Farm. Plan. From Saturday's Daily. The inception cf the idea of the county agent came out of the fight which the southern rlauters had to put up against the cotton- bowl we vil and which they finally won through the aid of experts. When the fight had been won and the nui sance obliterated, those who had suf fered so severely from this pest re-rj-.e-.ted that the experts who as sisted in its eradication be allowed to remain as directors for the future tood they might he able to effect. Therefore, these men were given charge over one or more counties which accounts for the name, "c.unty agent. Their operation was attendant .vii h gre:.L sv.cce?.-, and the govern -nent, rccemizing the importance of 'he work in which they were then engaged, 1 as sought to place them in every county in the nation. Some of the ideas which have Mimuiatod ihe National Government :n vigorously press this plan of pro-:-uure :i this time i to the end of increasing conservation of our food imply and ailing enlarged produc tion. In the channels of distribu te n, the wastage of food has, in a rr:at many instances, been abortive. There has been waste not alone in the homes, but on the farms and in fhe markets ail the way from pro ducer to consumer, inclusive of both and with a little here and a little here, the loss is enormous. Ihe second reason for advocating 'his plan is to assist in the develop Ing cf county and community orga nizations which will work together or the development of better sys tern of farming, to the end of re claiming land not now being culti vated, producing more from the land inder cultivation and caring for the rop:; in more scientific manner af er the process of raising is com pleted in short, to raise the right king in the right place and to work in harmony to produce the food that '3 needed to feed the world. Manv communities have waste '.in'!, which is not. being cultivated, ill hough rich in soil and fertile. This land, properly cultivated, would , reduce ample return-in seme lines. vhiic in others it might be a dismal ;ai!ure. That these waste areas may be studied and their productive abil ity tiscertained is ore of the objects of the county agent plan. Another i'eature is the education of farmers generally to the use of better seed. l a thing is worth raising it is worth raising well and poor seed decreases the returns of land more 'ban rAiy one other tiling. The same s true of animals, as in the case of the scrub hogs and the pure bred teck. Again, we see it reflected in lie manner of feeding and the .re mits are vasily different than under i more uniform system, wherein ap iroved methodr, are universally used. s an illustration of this, everyone knows that-the great German com mercialism of Germany before the war was attained along just ruch lines of procedure. When farmers ?.re successfully encouraged to cul tivate such articles as arc best suit ed to their soil, to secure the best feed, the best fertilizers, and -fro raise the best live stock using the best of labor and credit facilities in cou 'lucting their business then, and only then, will the productiveness of our land be increased to any mark ed extent. The efTect of co-operating organi zation for the purchasing of farm supplies and for the marketing of farm products, the eliniination of waste caused by insect it udc, animals and vermin, and the proper utilizay Hon of all land on the farms will be but a means toward an end, namely, that of making better the general conditions of rural life. The food produce bill passed in August of last year, carried with it provision for the payment of $G00 toward the maintenance .of this in stitution. The state has met the government in supplying a like amount, and all that is left for the county where one is established, is to pay the remainder of the cost a comparatively small amount at the most. Already mere than three-fourths of the counties of the United States Lave organized Farm Bureaus and have county agricultural agents at work. Regular county work is car rieel oa co-operatively between the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the State College of Agriculture and the County Farm Bureau. As stated above, counties employ ing regular county agents are fur nished by the state and nation, the Eum of $1,200 to assist in carrying on the work. There will be peti tions circulated asking for the es tablishment of such an organization in Cass county. The signatures o: ten per cent of the owners of farm property will be necessary to em power the County Commissioners to establish the Farm Bureau and pro vide for the hiring of a county agri cultural agent. We believe this to be a worth-while measure at any time, and doubly so at this particu lar time when we are engaged in a gigantic war, which may be won or lost by the manner in which we pro duce and conserve foodstuffs. LONG TIME AWAY. from Fridav'n Dallv Ulsey Twiss of Cakeville, Wyoming who thirty-four years ago left Louis ville for the west and who has not been back since until just recently, was in Plattsmouth this morning,' the first time during all these years, coming with hia cousin C.

' "Build ships and let every woman and child in the land think ships," said he. "We ought to be wearing little metal ships in our buttonholes. Children ought to play with toy ships. The woman who turns from knitting to encouraging a ship's riv iter to do more rivets a day is serv ing her country. And every time you think ships, you arc thinking of our men fighting for you in France. Would you have them want for food, for clothes, for ammunition to an swer the German fire? "Would you have them think that you had forgotten them you in your comfort at home? Would you have the lives of such men unnecessarily sacrificed because you had not con "Toward our ship yards for the power they mean during and after the war, the German general staff strains its vision.
