The splendid suppers served each Wednesday night for the last five weeks, have been provided by the Ladies Auxiliary and the Q. Z. societies. The congregation divided Into three classes, the adult class assembl ing in the church auditorium, where they listened to a series of lectures on "China's Challenge to Christian ity," clearly and concisely given by Miss Josephine Altman, Miss Isabel Hartley, -Miss Pearl Staats and Supt. G. E. De Wolf. The young people's class had Rev. McClusky as leader and used the text "Torch Rearers in China." Mrs. Mc Clusky conducted the Junior class, using "Chinese Lanterns." On the last night this class dramatized "The Fairy Dragon," a Chinese fairy tale, and also demonstrated several Chi nese games used on the school grounds of China. The children look ed very smart and attractive in their bright colored Chinese costumes and displayed to the audience a real un derstanding of a number of the Chi nese customs and properties.. Following this was held the an nual meeting of the congregation. Reports from all the organizations of the church were read and showed the church to be in a splendid state of activity. The benevolent contri butions of all organizations surpass ed those of last year. The church treasurer's report was read, showing the church to be in a good financial condition, practically no debt and a balance on the books. The women's societies showed a splendid amount out on interest. They are working and planning ex tensive church improvements later on. t , The election of officers resulted in J. M. Robertson and S. S. Chase be ing re-elected as elders, D. C. Morgan was re-elected trustee, and J. K. Pol lock elected as trustee to fill the place made vacant by the expiration of the term of T. II. Pollock. G. L. Farley was re-elected church treas urer. C. A. Rawls, Sunday school superintendent; Miss Pearl Staats, assistant superintendent; Miss Es telle Daird, pianist: Miss Helen Wurl, assistant pianist. Mrs. W. J. Streisht voiced a sden- jdid appreciation of Mr. pawl's work ias Sunday , school superintendent. The congregation by unanimous vote extended to him their appreciation and support. The School cf Missions has been well attended, the number each night running between SO and 100. The leaders have all spent time in care ful preparation of the subject and have brought the Chinese situation before the mind3 of the listeners in a pleasing and impressive manner. The willingness of the women's social organizations to co-operate in servincr the sunners has added nrt Email part to the success of the five Dennison Easter novelties, crepe paper and napkins, favors and deco- l rations for Easter at the Bates Book and Gift Shcp. weeks' effort along missionary lines. r , 7 ' 1 1 1 1 t ws i lit i J 1 f i r i 5 TVj.i .

Forest fires burned over 3 thousand acres in the Bent Creek section of the Pisgah National forest and reports reaching here stated that four large fires were raging in Madison county.

IERVES ALL UNSTRUNG? Plattsmouth Folks Should Find the Cause and Correct It. Are you all worn out? Feel tired, nervous, half-sick? Do you have a constant backache; sharp twinges of pain, too, with dizzy spells and an noying urinary disorders? Then there's cause for worry and more cause to give your weakened kidney.3 prompt help. Use Doan's Pills a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Plattsmouth folks recommend Doan's for just such troubles. Mrs. P. A. McCray, 515 So. Sixth street, Plattsniouth, says: "While doing my work I became tired, and ielt weak and sham nains through ;my back put me right down. When 1 1 stooped I became dizzy and black .s-pecka blurred my sight. I felt ner ,vous and all out cf sorts. My kid neys didn't act right, either. I used Doan's Pills and one box from Wey rich & IIadraba.'a drug store cured me of the trouble. Mrs. McCray i only one of many Plattsmouth people who have grate fully endorsed Doan's Pills.

WESTERN FARM ERS IRE TESTING BARLEY CROP OUT Farm Bureau Federation Asks Rail way Commission to Kake the Carriers Supply Them. The state railway commission was engaged Wednesdayjn hearing the petition of the Nebraska Farm bu reau federation for an order requir ing all of the railroad.-? of the state to furnish partitions for live fctock cars when the same are used for mixed shipments, as for instance hogs and cattle. In stub caaes it is necessary that some sort of a barrier be interposed so that the larger may not tramplo upon the smaller, thereby occasion ing grief and damage. At the pres ent time the shipper must furnish the partition. Now he wants the railroads to build or buy a lot of par titions, distribute them about at strategic' points from which they may be secured at a specially located sta tion whenever desired and necessary. The railroads object to this, be- n IT. 1 I 1 cause ui me auueu expense inviuveu and for various reasons of manage ments and operation. At tho pres ent time the shippers are not so very careful as to what sort of a partition they put in. The result i3 that being thrown together as cheaply as pos sible they are often ineffective and loss happens. As the railroads must pay these losses, the shippers are often careless about whether the par titions are well constructed or hold together. Three New Varieties Are to Be Given Thorough Test This Spring By Farmery. - Sidney, April 1. Twelve farmers of Cheyenne county are going to put in test plots of three new varieties of barley this spring under the direction of County Extension Agent L. D. Willey. Mr. Willey has brot in the seed from the Wvoming experiment stations at Archer and Sheridan. All three varieties have outyielded com mon barley by several bushels to the acre in the tests that have been made in Wyoming. The farmers taking the tests are well scattered over Cheyenne county so that other farmers can notice how the new varieties grow and what yield3 they malte. Trebi and White Smyrna varieties have been obtained from Sheridan and the Horn variety comes from Archer. About an acre of the new seed will be planted by the cooperat ing farmer along -'side thd common iiarley that. -hr grows this year. He will harvest ,tho plot separately and report to the county extension agent. Barley for hog feed is becoming more popular every year in Cheyenne county, Mr. Willey says. The average yield is between 2o and 30 bushels for the commou variety. If these three new varieties will yield two bushels more per acre than the com mon, it will mean more profit to the farmers of the county. Oho farmer is trying a hull-less variety of barley to get barley that he can grind with hull?lessCats for his chickens. He is interested in getting a small grain feed that he can use for fattening young chickens before corn is ripe. Results of all these tests will be published when obtained.
