Social Organization Holds Election
of Officers at Session Wednes
day Afternoon.
From Wednesday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of
the Eastern Star kensington club

members in attendance at the event.
The chief business of the after
noon was the election of the officers
of the club and the following were
chosen: Mrs. II. C. Leopold, presi
dent; Mrs. V. T. Arn, vice presi
dent; Mrs. Elmer Rummell, secre
tary; Miss Emma Hirz, treasurer.
The ladies enjoyed an unusually
pleasing talk given by Mrs. Pearl E.

of Missouri, who is in the city as a
guest of her sister, Mrs. Thomas
Murphy, and took the occasion to
meet with the members of the local
chapter of the O. E. S. The remarks
of Mrs. Peobody on the work of the
order was very much enjoyed by all
of the members of the club.
At a suitable hour the hostesses

GYPSIES IN THE CITY
From Monday's Dally
Summer is surely here despite the
cold blasts from the north that at
times shake our faith in the eternal
spring, as one of the surest signs of
the warm weather was visible today
on the streets when a caravan of
gypsies in their gay colors and vary
ing degrees of dirt made their ap
pearance.
The men of the caravan had evi
dently remained at the camping
place at the outskirts of the city,
while the women with their tradi
tional garb that has marked the
wandering tribes for years, made
their descent on the city seeking
whom and what they might devour
or take. The feminine members of
the party were out to tell fortunes,
and for a piece of silver could send
their clients away smiling with
promises of success and happiness
and in the cases of the lovelorn, the
realization of their hopes.
The proprietors of the places of
business were on the watch when the
chattering groups swept into their
stores as their visits are usually fol
lowed by loss, but in this case the
fqrtune tellers were seeking evident
ly only the privilege of imparting
the future to the Plattsmouth people,
Saul Begins His Work
For three years. Saul of Tarsus
after his conversion and baptism,
went to Arabia where he lived, it is
supposed, in seclusion and where he
determined to give I113 life ior
Christ's sake. Hero he remembering
the things which he had done
against the Christ and the church,
resolved and studied to make amends
for what he had done agfiinst the
cause. Alter mature ueimerauon ne
returned to Damascus where he be
gan to preach and in the face of the
tact that he had there to arrest
Christians and send them bound to
Jerusalem. Saul was a strolling
pedal for from now on while not
courting strife his very life was
thrown into a whirlpool of strife
with many a cross current which
threatened" to take his life as vio
lently as he had sought the life of
others. When he engendered the en
mity of the Jews by his preaching
and proclaiming that Jesus was the
very Christ, the Son of the living
God, the savior of the world, and
tho Messiah who should come into
the world, he so enraged the Jews,
that they sought to kill him and as
Damascus was a walled -city, they
placed watches at every gate that
he might not escape. The members
of the church, not as yet. called
Christians, sought a way of escape
for him and where should he look
for deliverance except Christians and
members of the church. They pro
vided means by way of a basket

the ordinary things and ways which
men had at hand. Christ at the
time of his ascension said, "Go ye

saved and who does not believe shall

Spraying Plants for Plant Louse
Use a soap, kerosene solution. Di3
solve Y bar laundry soap in a little
water. Add 5 gallons water and one
pint herosene. Spray the tree well.
Grow the Pullets Well.
Don't crowd chickens or let grow
ing chickens crowd, cautions the
Agricultural college. Crowding chicks
results in losses from lice and mite in
festatio nto say nothing of the direct
loss from the killing of many chick
ens outright. As the chicks grow old
ed and are weaned by the hen or
wean themselves from the heat of
the brooder, cull out the weaklings
and the cockerals and provide roosts
for the chicks, low. flat roosts at
first. Chicks do not get crooked
breast bones from roosting too early
as is often though. If possible after
the chicks have gotten started and
been weaned from the heat, mov
the house or coop farther away where
more range will be available and
where the growing pullets will not
have to take chances with the older
stock. Unless extraordinary cor
ditions are available hatch no chicks
later than June 10, give better care
and attention to those already hatch
ed. and the results will be better
profits next winter.
Use and Preparation of Whitewash.
While whitewash is adaptable to
many cleaning purposes, the Univer
sity Agricultural college recommends
it particularly for the dairy barn and
the poultry house. Whitewash dis
enfects and gives a neat clean ap
pearance to the covered walls, especi
ally if the building in thoroughly
cleaned before being covered. One
precaution is given against getting
the whitewash too thick, especially
for the poultry house. Thick white
wash will crack and scale off and
mites will harbor under the scales
or in the cracks.
The following directions for mak
ing whitewash are given: Slack
half bushel of quicklime or lump lime
with boiling water, keeping it cover
ed during the process. Strain it and
add a peck of salt dissolved in warm
water, three pounds of ground rice
boiled in water until it is a thin
paste, a half pound of powered
Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear
blue dissolved in warm water. Mix
these together well and let the mix
ture stand for several days. Heat
it and apply as hot as possible with
a whitewash brush. Alum aaaea 10
whitewash will make it stick better
Uko an ouace to a gallon. Mo1mss33
makes the lime more soluable and
makes it penetrate wood or plaster
more deeply. Use a pint of molasses
to a gallon of whitewash. A pound
of cheap bar soap dissolved in a gal
long of boiling water and added to
five gallons of thick whitewash will
impart a gloss like that of oil paint.
