From Saturday's I'ailv
Charles C. Parmele, former Platts-
mouth banker. tells the supreme
court in a brief filed Friday that he
does not believe he should be brand
ed as a felon because a woman for
got. He was convicted in the Lass i
county distric t court of embezzle-j
ment. He says that the evidence
does not sustain the conviction and
that he should be freed of the charge.
He says that for several years he
placed loans for a woman customer
named Douglas. One of these loans
was represented by a note and mort
gage executed by one Wiles. These
were handed over to and are in pos
session of Mrs. Douglas. Having more
money to invest Mrs. Douglas sought
his aid. She had $3,500 she desired
him to place. The only investment
of anything around that size he could
then find was a $5,000 Latham mortgage.

Wiles said he did not have . the
money. Parmele suggested that he
execute a note for that amount, and
he would have it credited on the
I mortgage. lies did so. He says that
he told Mrs. Douglas about it and
directed her to endorse a $1,501) pay
ment on the Wiles mortgage, at the
same time handing her the $5,000
Latham mortgage.
She did not make the endorse
ment, and Parmele wa3 prosecuted
i and convicted on the charge of
j embezzling the $1,500 note. He asks
the court to consider that if she
had endorsed the payment, he would
I be innocent, and suggests that b

glected to do so. State Journal.

up a splendid system of co-operation
and helpfulness in the carrying out
of the company work that has
brought a great deal of efficiency to
the company.
The members of the party assem
bled at the Royal Cafe at 6:30 where
they enjoyed a very line three course'

and around the long table arranged
with the bright fall flowers there
were some eighteen of the employes
as well as Mr. Theleen, Mr. L. G.

Mr. Jackson, the construction suner-
intenden. who is looking after the
work of the construction of the new i
high line; Mrs. Theleen and sister,
Mrs. Jones of Grand Harbor, Michi

The rapidity with which radio
has speard to the farming communi
ties of the nation is revealed by a
recent survey made by the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture. j
Counties agents estimate there ait j
approximately 4O,0oo radio receiv-
ing sets in . oo counties. I his is an.
average of fifty-seven sots per county
Applying that average to S.S50
agricultural counties, a total of more 1
than 1 45.0(0 sets on farms throusrh- '
out the nation is estimated. The-
survey covered every state in the
Union.
Radio broadcasting stations, and
there are now about 600 licensed
stations in the United States, devoted
part of their programs to the interest
of the farmer.
Among these services as given by
all leading broadcasters ae daily
market quotations, weather reports
and other information of great value
to the farmer. Also during harvest

are sent out.
