Six and a Half-Inch Rain Farmers in Uie vicinity of Ccggon.! Linn county, report that much of their corn crop was washed away as well as small grain in shock. At Reinbeck, Grundy county, six and one-half inches of rain fell dur ir.tr the day. County agents and farm experts say that totlay's storm was the most destructive this summer. Choked sewers caused one section of Cedar Rapids to be under from four to ten feet of water. Canoes were used by motorists who had cars parked in the flooded area. All street car traffic in several sec tions of Cedar Rapids was tied up to night because of the storm. Motorists Stranded Iowa Falls reports that the power; liousp there was nut out T)f eonimis-! sion by the storm. ists are reported to be stuck in the mud in the vicinity of Traer. There was a three-inch rainfall here this afternoon. At 9 a. m. the Cedar river had risen more than a foot and still was rising. No attempts were being made to night to search for Barrett and Schalley. Fears were expressed at Bertram that other farmers may have lost their lives in searching for livestock when the Big Creek went out of its banks. SEEK MARRIAGE ELSEWHERE sort. Herman L.

Foot Notes that Are Important! Is that small son or daughter putting the right foot forward, and in the right shoe? Many serious foot troubles originate in chil hood as the result of ill-fitting shoes, or shoes badly shaped. We have shoes scientifically constructed to conform to the national lines of the foot, and we know how to fit them. Footwear is attractive in appearance and price. IF. IF, ESTABLISHED 1888 Phone No. 14 Nehawka, Nebr. Ton Litter Multiplied The ton litter of Spotted Poland China hogs which C. W. Stone and son had last year, have been more than reproduced this year for he has a whole yard full of them and ex cellent ones at that. The lover of fine stock would do well to see them whether he should want any or not for they are far superior to any which you see at many of the countv f.nirs. While this is true the herd of Jersey cows are quite as good as are the hogs. From Tuesday's Daily Since tho enactment of the new i!i-.:rriage law of the state of Nebras k.-t. which requires a ten day appli cation befure the riarriae licenses can he issued, there has been a de cided falling off in the number of marridses occurring iik this state. The state department cf vital stat istics at Lincoln has gathered the dr.ta from a number of the adjoin ing states that thows an enormous increase in marriaes in the border ''unties of Iowa, Kan';;?, Colorado Wyoming and South Dakota. The largest increase in marriages was in tne state ot lowa wlier- tne larger number of Nebraskans from the east ern portion of this state journeyed to say, "I do." For the year 19"3 there were 2. TOG Nebraska couples married out side cf Ihe state, which is the direct effect of the new law and the corre spondincly convenient laws of other states that permit marriage when tlse desire arises rather than the wait that the Nebraska law pre scribes. While the Nebraska law is probably a trood one it operates very poorly with all of the adjoining states having more lax laws and in counties like Douglas. Cass, Otoe, Ne in? iia and Richardson, the loss in marriage license fees is quite notice able. "Stop, 1-ook and Listen" may be ail riht as a warning to motor Istn at the railroad crossing but those matrimonially inclined are loath to wait and want the license at once. In 1922 there were 12.416 licenses issued in Nebraska and in 1923 onlv 9,129. ENTERTAINES AT BIRTHDAY Will Take a Vacation Last Monday morning. Frank A. Boedeker. who is one of the most efficient bank examiners of the 6tate of Nebraska, accompanied bv the j f amily, departed for the Black Hill3 'here they will spend Fomo two veeks enjoying the coolness of that "Mninte and also stopped in Lincoln r n last oMnday evening where they -i joyed the celebration of the noti- l. cation of C.

Nehawka Chantauqua Success The Chautauqua which has just losed at Nehawka was a success in that it presented a very brilliant ar ray of talent in all its lines, lectures, acting and music. The attendance was to the standard and was great ly enjoyed by all who were privileg ed to attend this excellent series of programs. The term closed on last Sunday evening and those engaged in the work departed for another town where they are to give an en tertainment for a number of days. Hears of Mother's Death Last Sunday morning Arthur W. Knox of the Nehawka Hotel received via a long distance call the sad in telligence of the death of his aged mother who was nearing the eighty mile stone mark. He immediately departed for the funeral which was held on Monday of this weeV Mrs Knox lost her husband about four years ago, but leaves some seven and eight grandchildren to mourn her departure. The family has been making their home in St. Joseph for some time and formerly made their home at Marysville, Mo. From Thursday's Dally Yesterday afternoon from 2:30 to o'clock the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Heinrirh on west Main street was the scene; of a very delightful gathering of littlo ladies on the occasion of the 11th birthday of Miss Helen Virginia Price, neice of rs. Heinrirh. The members of the party passed tho time most delighlully In games and contests that served to cover the entire afternoon and in which the young people found great deal of pleasure and entertainment. The cutting of the birthday cake was one of tho big events of the afternoon and in this Gwendell Marshall was the lucky one to draw the dime, and in the other contests Helen Koubek and Grace Pilney were the winners. At a suitable hour the members of the party were treated to dainty re freshments served on the lawn in the pleasent shade and in serving Mrs. Heinrieh was assisted by Mrs. Blanch Price and, Mrs. Earl M.
