instructive discussion in his pleasant
informal manner for the benefit of
the young men who had filled the
room in anticipation of this unusual
treat.
Mr. Davis in his remarks, which
he stated was not an address, but
just a few words given in "visiting"
with the young men, urged the de
velopment of the physical, mental
and spiritual or moral part of man
so that they would fit the represen
tatives of the nation for the task that
was before them. Mr. Davis urged
the development of a broader view
point by well selected reading and
especially urged a study of history
as broadening in that it showed the
making of nations and the study also
of the outstanding figures as the his
tory of individuals and the proper
reading one gained the impression
of the great world even though the
sphere of the reader might be limited
to their own immediate vicinity.
Mr. Davis in touching on the moral
phase of the life of the world, urged
strongly a single standard of moral
ity for everyone and the abandon
ing physicians and the family have
been greatly worried over his state
as he has been sinking quite rapidly
in the last few days and last night
was thought for a time to be dying
but has shown some slight improve
ment, so little, however, as to give
small encouragement to the members
of the family.
Mr. Whelan has had two very se
vere attacks of grippe thi3 winter
and the last which he was taken with
a week ago has developed into pneu
monia of a severe type. Francis
Whelan, a son. arrived here last
evening called by the serious illness
of the father.

People on A Dove Dates.
One of the pleasing entertainment
features of the spring season will be
the home talent play to be presented
on Wednesday and Thursday, March
2S and 29 at the Parmele theatre by
Cass Chapter.. Order of DeMolay.
This play is given by local people in
the cast and in no way is connected
with the moving picture of the same
name that is to be shown at the Par
mele next Sunday. "Putting it Over,"
;the play, is a real entertaining comedy-drama
,and far from the picture
of the same name dated by the the
atre and which has caused some con-
fusion in the minds of the theatre
i goers.
The comedy drama is in three acts
and has a double role for the lead of
the play which 13 taken by William
J. Smith, who will be remembered
for his excellent work last year in
the American Legion show, "Hot
Tamale Land." The dual role brings
with it many comedy situations and
the play has a real punch and there
! are no dull moments in the entire
production. James Warren as "Col.
Lane," father of "Eva Lou," feminine
lead, played by Miss Thelma Under
wood, are very effective. Miss Olive
Quinn takes the part of "Torrence
Lannon," while Percy Field appears
as "Lannon," her father. Stewart
Chase is cast as "Daintry," an engi
neer, and Herbert LaRue as "Bol
ton" the butler and secretary. Edna
Marshall Eaton will be one of the at
tractions of the play as "Mrs. Lane
Turner, sister of the doughty colonel.
Tickets for the production are on
sale at Morgan's Sweet Shop or may
I be procured from the DeMolay' boys.

Picric Acid
At the homo of Lee Cole, south of
Louisville, a demonstration of blow
ing stumps with picric acid was held.
William Partridge vof Weeping Water
used the explosive as it is similar to
dynamite. The frost is still in the
ground and this retarded the -work.
Forty men were present and all thot
picric acid equal to 40 per cent dyna
mite. 2 5 00 pounds were ordered at
this demonstration. This order goes
to the extension service at Lincoln
and the second car for the state of
Nebraska should be ordered soon.
Condition of Wheat
The rain and snow gave to Cass
county an average of 1 1-4 inches of
moisture. This came at one of the
best times of the year. It will keep
the dirt from blowing away from the
roots. The wheat in Cass county is
still in good condition.
Cost Records
During the we'ek beginning March
26. we will try to place some cost rec
ords in the county. It is highly im
portant that we know the cost of pro
duction. If interested write or phone
the farm bureau.
Drainage , -
At the farm of F. H. Goodfellow,
near Greenwood the county farm bu
reau with the assistance of the ex
tension agricultural engineer, will
tile one of the so-called algali spots.
This experiment will be done to see
if tiling will be correct method of
making these spots productive. An
other of these spots will be blasted
with picric acid. This may loosen up
the hard soil underneath and let the
spots drain.
