LADIES WORKING
ON TOURIST PARK
IMPROVEMENT
Will Probably Result in the City
Having a Real Stopping Place
for Those Passing Thru.
The often discussed but little acted
upon tourist park on Washington
avenue may in the near future come
Into Its own and become what was
the plan of Its sponsor when the
project was first launched two years
ago. . .. - -. ... --
The ladles of Plattsmouth through
their several organizations are on the
Job In urging improvement in the
park and not only are they giving
their moral support to the project,
but are putting in real work and
money into helping out the better
ment of conditions there. The Wom
an's club has Just installed a stove
in the northwest section of the park
that can be used by campers rest
ing there, and which is one step in
the direction of a better place for
those who pass through our city and
desire to stop over night. It has
been long urged by this organization
that something definite be done and
they have received assurance from
the city and the park board cf co
operation and have taken the initia
tive in the matter.
It will be recalled that when the
American Legion donated the work
to grade down the unsightly obstruc
tions in the center of the grounds, a
fund was raised among the business
men to pay the team owners and it
"was agreed that any remaining bal
ance after the work was done was to
be turned over to the park commis
sion and expended by them in the
improvement of this park and ap
proximately $100 was left for this
purpose.
The W. C. T. U. has voted the sum
of 50 for the purpose of screening
the old band stand that now reposes
in the park and the park board has
given promise of seeing that the
stand is removed to a suitable place
in the park and provided with a per
manent foundation bo that It can be
made into a shelter for those who
might be caught there in a storm or
desire to stop there over night.
These improvements will certainly
be appreciated by the traveling pub
lic and are a great step forward, but
the ladies need the co-operation and
support of the city in seeing that the
park is made a real place of comfort
for those who travel through here.
Mayor Johnson has some very ex
cellent ideas as to making the park
a credit to the city and if they ma
terialize - the city will have a place
of which they could be proud rather
than have to apologize for, as is the
case at the present time.
The improvements made will 1?
permanent and will mean that the:
park will be exclusively aevotea to
the purpose of a tourist park and
not given over to attractions that
might cause damage or injuries to
the grounds in any way such as has
been the case In the past.

a fair yield of
Wheat promised
Nebraska Crop Probably Will Aver
age 75 Per Cent of Normal
Harvest Hands Needed.
The wheat crop in Nebraska will
probably average somewhere near
75 per cent of normal this year, ac
cording ot the report of the agricul
tural extension service, with some
counties going as high as So per cent
and others as low as 40. The begin
ning1 of the harvest shows a some
what checkered condition thl3 yeir
due to the excessive rains followed
by stretches of dryness. " However,
harvest has started in a number of
localities although the greater bulk
of the work will probably begin the
latter part of this week.
The average harvest wage offered
so far is $4 a day which is about
fifty cents higher than that of last
year.
Calls for harvest hands to date
show that there will be a demand for
about 3.000 men this week. Clay
county alone asks for nearly 300
Gage county will use probably 200
men. The wheat there will run about
S5 per cent of normal this year. Har
vest started there June 27 and is
now well under way.
Work will start in the fields of
Kimball county about July 20 and
it is expected that there will be need
for 300 to 500 men at that time.

It Is rumored the corn is growing
so tall in Iowa that WOC's (Watch

Which may account for inability to
pick up this splendid station here.
Perhaps their wave travels only east
over Illinois, where the corn doesn t
grow so tall. Who knows?
Just to show us Station WOAW is
reaching out despite the static and
mid-summer disturbances our old
friend Orson Stiles, director of broad
casting mailed up photographic cop
ies of three communications picked
at random from their daily mail one
frm Pennsylvania, one from Louisiana
and one from Mississippi.
Three-Nights-a-Week Schedule
As heretofore stated Station WOC,
Davenport, is operating on summer
schedule. Aside from their early
evening chimes concert, sports review
and bedtime stories which are given
nightly for the benefit of Davenport
and vicinity fans, they broadcast pro
grams only on Sunday, Wednesday
and Saturday nights. The Sunday
evening program includes church ser
vice at S and a two hour musical pro
gram by P. S. C. orchestra beginning
at 9. Wednesday evening, pipe or
gan recital at S and the late musical
program from 10 to 11, followed by
Tourist's road report. Saturday night,
dance program. 9:30 to 10:30.
Will Expedite Messages
For the benefit of local listeners,
who wish to congratulate those ap
pearing on Monday night's radio pro
gram, the Western Union has ar
ranged to give extra fast service on
messages filed that night. Telephone
calls have proven very Impractical of
late for the reason that Omaha list
eners "hog" the line, and often when
the long distance operator is able to
get the call through the concert is
over. It would look like the tele
phone company would install separ
ate lines into the station for hand
ling long distance calls exclusively,
at its own expense, rather than lose
the $25 to 530 a day revenue ability
to get calls through promptly would
mean. However, the cost of a ten
word telegram is only 35 cents, and
it carries the advantage of greater
accuracy than a telephone call. Un
doubtedly there will be many more
from here send messages the night
of the concert than did on the occa
sion of the former one, when tele
phone messages were greatly delayed.
Soldering is Very Important
In radio it's the small things that
count and you can't expect maximum
results from your set unless you con
struct it with the same care and pre
cision as a Jeweler assembles the
mechanism of a watch. A common
cause of noisy reception is lack of
extreme care In soldering connections
to' the tips of phone jacks and which
allow a small leakage between ter
minals. Solder, correctly used. Is the
radio fan's best friend. However, if
not properly applied, it may cause
him more hidden trouble than any
thing else. In using a resin core flux
it is best to have the iron pretty hot.
If not, the resin instead of fluxing out
is apt to coat the connection and de
feat the very purpose of the solder,
namely to maintain an unobstructed
passageway for the current. An acid
core solder can be used with, the iron
considerably colder, but extreme care
should be taken to guard against any
excess acid on your wires more than
the amount absolutely required to
make the solder "stick." It is also
important that the iron be kept well
tinned to permit a smooth transfer
of the solder from it to a desired con
nection and that It never be allowed
to become red hot. If it does, dress
it lightly with a file, re-tin and wipe
off with a cloth to prevent any of
the tinning flux working its way In
to your connections. A little prac
tice will enable you to determine'
when your iron is "Just right." Gen-;
erally speaking, it is said to be when'
the tinned surface begins to assume
a liquid state. In making a smooth!
joint, the principle of soldering must!
be understood and applied. The heat-:
ed iron should be held on the desired!
connection until it becomes nearly as
hot as the iron itself, then apply the
point to your solder, securing Just
enough to do the Job and no more.
Again apply the iron to the connec
tion and hold it there until the wires
become as hot as the iron itself. At
this time, if your iron is properly tin
ned a smooth transfer of the solder
will take place and with a little prac-i
tice you will be able to make as nice!
looking connections as found in any'
manufactured set. '
ILLITERACY IN THE
STATE SHOWN FOR
EACH OF COUNTIES
Table Prepared Shows that Cass
County Banks Well in Per
centage of Intelligent,
Following the example of Ken
tucky, where the work of redeeming
adults from illiteracy began under
the leadership of Mrs. Cora Wilson
Stewart, many states have been car
rying on a campaign to blot out il
literacy among their people. Every
where the results have been most
gratifying.
Nebraska has not yet awakened to
her duties and opportunities in this
movement. Consequently she has for
feited her rank in the scale of liter
acy to her Iowan neighbor, who has
adopted a standard of one hundred
per cent literacy for her citizens.
The following table gives the per
centage of illiteracy for several Ne
braska counties. Thurston county
has the largest per cent of illiteracy
(3.9). This is due in a measure to
the Indian population.
Thurston, 3.9.
Scottsbluffs, 2.7.
Morril, 2.4.
Kimball 2.2.

Logan county is the banner coun
ty for the state, having only .1 per
cent of illiteracy. The 1920 census
reports showed one Illiterate among
the 1,000 inhabitants of Logan
county.
There is no greater bondage than
that of the intelligent mind to whom
the printed page is a sealed and for
bidden realm, and for whom written
expression is impossible. May Ne
braska lose no time in enabling each
and every citizen to enjoy his "in
alienable right of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness."
EDITOR IS CONVICTED
FOR ATTACK ON LEGION
"Bums, Tramps and Vagabonds"
Statement May Send Arthur
Lorenz to Prison a Year
Chicago, July 6. Arthur Lorenz,
former editor of the Staats Zeitung,
a German language newspaper, was
found guilty of criminal libel again
st the American Legion by a Jury
after only thirty minutes delibera
tion today..
Lorenz was indicted in connection
with the publication In the news
paper of an editorial referring to the
Legion members in derogatory terms.
A motion for a new trial will be
heard July 21.
If motion for a new trial is denied,
Judge Hugo Pam will impose sen
tence, which may be a year in the
penitentiary or a $500 fine or both..
Lorenz did not take the stand in
his own defense. The editorial to
which the Legion objected was print
ed in December, 1921, and charged
that Legion members were "bums,
tramps and vagabonds" and that the
Legion was "bought with British
gold to suppress truth."
DOINGS IN THE DISTRICT COURT

OSTEOPATH PRAISES
GOLFING AS EXERCISE
New York, July 6. If golf inter
feres with business, drop business
is the advice given by Dr. F. P. Mil
lard, of Toronto at the annual con
vention of the American Osteopathic
association.
"Dropping business now and then
Is a good way to make the business
row and to have some fun with it
besides." Dr. Millard said.
"Golf is a thoroughly osteopathic
game, and no one getting on toward
middle age, with a tendency to stiff
ness of the spine or creakiness of the
joints, can fail to benefit by it. Take
the swing of the clubs. Consider how
it limbers up the wrist, it's marvel
ous. The golfer draws upon a different
tennis. The 300 yard drive of the j
golfer can only be made when the
wrist motion is perfect.
Frank Kozak, who is here from St.
Louis visiting with his wife and fam
ily for a few days, departed this

and will return to St. Louis Monday
and will be accompanied by a num- j

PEACE DEPENDS ON
AMERICAN YOUTH,
C. E, SPEAKER SAYS
Dr. Ira Landrith Pleads For Return
to "Old Fashioned" Religion
Good Will is the Aim.
Des Moines, la., July 6. The un
settled vorld requins but one anti
dote for its ills, the service upon
which Christian Endeavor societies
are based and a return to "old fash
ioned religion," Dr. Ira Landrith of
Chicago, extension secretary and edi
tor of the Christian Endeavor World,
declared in an address tonight before
the international convention.
The welfare of the world, he said,
depends 011 the younger generation
of America. It was the duty of Chris
tian Endeavor, he added, to give
America and the world a succession
of generations of right thinking
young people.
Tracing the growth of Christian
Endeavor since it was founded 42
years ago. Dr. Landrith declared it
was opportune that the movement
came into its present strength at a
time "when the world's supreme m-ed
is a dependability upon bright and
unselfish generations."
"Commerce, society and the state
are clamoring for the ethics of
Christianity, the practice of the Ser
mon on the Mount; in a word, a sane
and universal return to what every
body calls 'old fashioned religion.'
Real Remedy Untried
"A hundred nostrums were tried,
instead of the one real remedy for
the moral ills of humanity, and there
was no cure. War did its best and
worst to make men virtuous by bat
tle, social medicines were fried and
the pain of the heart of the world
grew worse and moral paralysis be
gan. "And all the while there was jut
one need a trained generation that
thinks right, speaks right, does
right and is right. God's only be
gotten son is the only Savior of the
youth of America and the salvation
of the youth of America is the only
hope of the world.
"The Christian Endeavor Is conse
crated to just such evangelistic ser
vice as has been acknowledged the
universal need."
A. J. Shartle of Boston told the
delegates Industrial peace might be
achieved and the problems of the
world might be solved through the
application of the golden rule.
"The teachings of Jesus, when ap
plied to human relations, will solve
all disputes," he said. "It is because
of the faith we have in the efficacy
of thf.s principle, that we are bold
enough to suggest a program of
world peace based upon good will."
Missions Open New Fields
ThaJ .'the pioneering in foreign
fields of American missionaries was
not only spreading Christianity, but
opening up new fields for commerce
and broadening the influence of
American ideals, was the statement
of E. P. Gates, general secretary of
the society.
At another convention session to
night 500 persons participated in a
pageant entitled "The N wLIfe." di
rected by Prof. H. Augustine Smith
of Boston, and a concert was given
by the 5001voice chorus.
At the afternoon session the dele
gates adopted a resolution declaring
their opposition to 12-hour working
days in industries and heard Freder
ick Wallace, New York, outline fields
of endeavor that should be enlargf i,
particularly the work among aliens,
submerged peoples of Europe and
Asia, and unfortunates of all classes.
The spectacular feature of the con
vention is set for tomorrow, when
more than 10,000 persons are to join
a parade intended to demonstrate the
strength of the movement. Denomi
national conferences will occupy
most of the delegates during the day.
THE FABLE OF "TUT"
Three thousand years ago
lived an Egyptian king nam
ed Tut-Ankh-Amen. This
sounded like a Stutter and
the Gang at the Luxor Golf
club called him "Tut."
When "Tut" reached the
Cake Eater age and got his
hair plastered back Right
he died. Dying was one of
the leading Egyptian indoor
sports and Tut's death was
a major event. They slipped
him into a swell tomb in the
Valley of the Kings.
Three thousand years later
a party of Snoopers dug up
Tut's tomb and all the Junk
buried with him.
The advertising men took
charge of Tut and in a few
weeks have given him a Rep
which makes Charlie Chap
lin's. "Doug's" and M. "Day-By-Day"
Cone's look like a
last year's almanac in com
parison. Dead for 3,000 years!
Lost! Forgotten! Then.
Bang! Advertised, and the
whole world hollers for more
news of Tut!
If advertising can thus
put life into a Dead One
what can it do for a Live
One?
For a Live Business For
YOUR business?
They could have dug up a
hundred Tuts in the desert
and if they had kept the
good news to themselves
only a few Bald - Headed
Historians would have ever
known it.
You can have the best
merchandise in the world.
But if the world does not
get Hep to it the business
will sleep along peacefully.
Remember "Tut."
