MODERN WOODMEN
REPORT LARGE GAINS
Local Camp Members Interested in
the Reports of the Growth of
This Order in Country.
Members of Modern Woodmen of
America in Plattsmouth will bet in
terested in the fart that it made a
marked growth during 1J123. Its re
port, just filed with the state insur
ance department, shows that it is
sued 132.000 benefit certificates,
with a net increase in membership
during the year of 34,771 and $36,
KS5,000 more insurance in force. The
business done was about one-third
greater than that of 1922.
Growth in membership was dis
tributed over 42 of the 45 states in
which the society writes new busi
ness, and only two states failed to
show a pain in the amount of insur
ance in force.
For the society's field workers the
slogan is "Make it more in twenty
four." results of the campaign are
already apparent. April has been
designated all over the jurisdiction
es "Talbot month" in honor of the
head consul, or president. A. R. Tal
bct of Lincoln. Neb., who is now
serving his twent y-first consecutive
year as leader of the organization.
Large class adoptions are planned
in many localities. Modern Wood
men of Plattsmouth, of whom there
are 339 now in good standing, are
participating in this drive.
At the last head camp held in St.
Louis in 1921, the ambitious pro
gram of writing a million new mem
bers in ten years was undertaken.
Obi fourth of that number has been
secured in two years and there is ev
ery reason to expect that the feat,
without parallel in fraternal insur
ance annals, will be accomplished.
The Modern Woodmen of America

bered 1.0S4.S42. approximately dou
ble that of its leading competitor in
the fraternal insurance field. It has
$ 1 .657, 053, 000 insurance in force.
There are 14.144 local camps. In
forty-one years it has paid 171.148
death claims, amounting to more
than $295,000,000. together with
3.473 70-year benefits, totaling $1,
807.938. It has a surplus of $30,
OOO.f'Ot) invested in interest-bearing
securities, and cash assets of $5,
000.000. Xot the least attractive of the fea
tures offered by the Modern Wood
men is a sanatorium for the care of
tuberculous members. It is located
nerr Colorado Springs. Colo., and is
rated as the best equipped and main
tained of any in this country. Afflict
ed members in good standing are
treated free, maintenance being pro
vided for by a tax amounting to less
than 3 cents per month for each
member. Sinre the sanatorium was
opened January 1, 1909. 6.500 pa
tients have been enrolled, with per
manent cure or marked improvement
in 75 per cent of all cases.
CASS COUNTY STEERS BRING

1.296 pounds. Mr. Ruhmann was ac
companied to market bv his son. He
stated that the cattle had been fed
about six months, having been run
in the corn field for about a month,
and were fed shelled corn and hav in
th? dry lot for the balance of the
period. Mr. Ruhmann was verv well
pleased with the sale of his steers, as
the price he received was the second
high price of the day. the extreme
top being paid for a load of steers,
clso Herefords. from a Nebraska feed
lot. Whitefaces always bring the
top prices on the market, it is evi
dent by the two sales .noted above.
SUNSHINE BRINGS AUTOS
Krnm Monday's Iially
The improving weather conditions
of the past two days has revived the
auto travel over the highways of the
country and yesterday was one of
the days when the old flivver was
kept en the highway the greater part
of the day. The travel was very
heavy through this city and on the
streets cars from many different
parts of the state could be seen as
the owners stopped for brief visits
and to secure refreshments or sup
plies. The federal highway is now
in excellent shae and over this pass

the Plattsmouth people gathering
their families in the old car, enjoyed

many of the Omaha residents were
visitors here for a few hours during .
the day and enjoying the delightful t
:.cenery that abounds in this section.

A Continent Washing Away
It has been estimated that if the
amount of soil annually washed from
the surface of the United States by
erosion each year were piled in one
place it would cover a state as large
as Iowa to a depth of eight inches.
Every rain carries thousands of tons
of rich earth into the Platte and
Missouri rivers and thence into the
Gulf of Mexico where it serves only
to extend the delta of the Mississip
pi river.
All soil washing cannot be stop
ped but it is possible to prevent
much of it by the proper use of le
gumes; by the construction of brush
and soil saving dams and buihl.ug
terraces. If you have a field or sev
eral fields on a hillside which are
causing you trouble with the forma
tion of many small gullies and which
are becoming too thin to grow good
crops, it may be that the terraces will !
help you solve the problem.
The terrace is a long sloping ridge
built around the hillside like a road
grade to carry the water to one side
of the field instead of letting it run ;
straight down the slope. Several of
these terraces are installed on a sin
gle hillside one above the other. The
line of the terrace is laid out with
an instrument and the grade is built
with the road grader. The grade is
made wide and with gradually slop
ing sides so as to permit of farming
over it. Whenlhe job is well done
much of the washing can be prevent
ed but badly run down soil should
be planted to legumes to guarantee
a return of the soil fertility. The
county extension agent will gladly
furnish information on this subject
upon request. i
Soil Erosion
Have visited about one-half of the
farmers who sent in cards as a result
of the soil letters. Most of them are
correcting the washing of their soil
by legumes, a few building brush
dams. On one farm a large soil sav
ing dam must be made.
Drainage
The lines were run for a drainage
project of 6 acres on the farm of Pet- j
er Olson, near Weeping Water.
Mrs. Elmer Durham and Mrs.
Chester Wall departed this morninp
for Omaha where they will spend
the day visiting at the hospital with
the little son of Mrs. Durham, who is
there taking treatment having suf
fered an attack of pneumonia fol
lowing a case of measles.

Parties who have visited Oak Hill
cemetery iu the past week report
that the roadways in the ceme:ery
as well as the approaches to it are
in very had shape and need work to
place them in shape so that they may
be traveled without danger of hav
ing cars broken or damaged in get
ting in and out of the cemetery. Re
cently, we are informed, one of the
ministers of the city was called up
on to officiate at the burial of one- of
the Plattsmouth people and In driv

road that was then very tnaddy, ''ad
one of the fenders broken off of

est difficulty in getting in the ceme
tery. One lady who motored out Fri
day to the cemetery states that th
entrances to the city of the silent
are all in the very worst passible
shape and that inside the ccmet ry.
with the exception of the roadway
which has been paved, it is only
with difficulty that cars can make
their way. This is something that
certainly should be looked into at
once.
