Then some one shouted that he would post a dollar that a tor nado was a twister, but no one took this wager, either.

Honor Your Fatter and Mother We were surely pleased to meet a young man on the road a few days since, when we were about our work and solicited him for a subscription to the Journal, and in the course of our conversation he had occasion to speak of his father and asked that we stop and call on him. saying, "You will find him an excellent man and well versed in the current events of the day. I have to say he is a better man than I am or ever will be." We sure did enjoy hearing a son thus speak of the father, and we know that such a son will make good anywhere. Spend Sunday at Cedar Creek Last Sunday Re.t Peters and wife, Earl Miller. Miss Geraldine Liston. J. I. Carpenter, wife and their little son, Douglas, were enjoying a picnic and camping-out party at Cedar Creek, where they remained for over night and enjoyed the fishing, swim ming and boating, to say nothing of the chiggers, which they were mostly able to escape.

Find a Kard Spot The Greenwood ball team which is one of the best, hit a-hard spot last Sunday when they hooked up with the Nehawka team and were not able to win, the totals at the end of the nine innings of play being Nehawka, 7 to Greenwood. 4. This is the first league game the home boys have lost as they ,were resting safely at the top of the per centage column (and still are) with a perfect record up to then. On Monday. July 5th, in a game played with Waverly at that place, our boys lost again, the score being Waverly, 6 to Greenwood, 3. The re sult of the latter game does not cojint in tne record of the Cass county league, however, and only the game lost to -Nehawka will effect the per centage of Greenwood. Just because our boys have suf fered a little set-back do not think they are playing jkor baseball. With a record of six consecutive wins, it is plain to see that they have got the stuff in them to win, but hit into a little hard luck the last couple of contests. They will be at home the coming Sunday, July 18th, and will be opposed by th Eagle team. OBITUARY Vernon A.

May Teach Co-Operation Sound Methods of Instruction Rather Than Propaganda for Farmers. St. Paul. Minn., July 9. Advocat ing the use of systematic co-operative education by sound teaching methods in place of propaganda. Walton Petcct, secretary of the national coun iil of farmers co-operative marketing associations and chairman of the week's program of the American insti tute of co-operation, outlined a plan of instruction for members and offi cers of co-operatives at the institute here today. He said that thru co-operative schools, continuously conducted, mem bers could be instilled with the co operative spirit and taught the un derlying principles of co-operation. Accordingto Mr. Peteet's plan, these schools would be conducted jointly by the agricultural colleges, farm or ganizations and the co-operatives. They would move from one community to another, giving instructions to all co-operative members in a particular locality. Regular, teachers with a sufficient background would be em ployed for this work. Two types of schools were cited by the speaker. One was designated for directors and officers of the co-operative associations and the other for members. The members' school would cover problems of production, the re lation of members to the organization iself. The school for officers would deal mainly with problems that con front executives of co-operative grounds. t Mr. Peteet explained that the schools described would be similar to the institute of co-operation itself only they would be localized. GAEI DIVORCES BY FRAUD Chicago, July 9. Reno, at the height of its fame as a divorce cen ter, never equaled Chicago, Superior Judge David declared today, adding that in his opinion fully 50 per cent of divorces granted here are obtained fraudulently. The judge's comment was occasioned by the case of Arthur Sdson sixty-five, on, a writ of habeas corpus, seeking release from custody of Oak park police, who held him on the request of the sheriff of Douglas county, Nebraska, who reported that Edson's wife alleged he had deserted her. x The court files showed Edson had been granted a divorce here December 8, 1925, on the ground that his wife had deserted him in 1922. Mrs. Edson was in court today and declared that she had not deserted Edson, but on the contrary had lived with him until June, 1925, when she charged that he deserted her. Two years' separa tion is required for a divorce decree on the grounds of desertion. "There's not a place in the world, at least not in America," said Judge David, "where divorces are so easily obtained as here." The judge then referred the case to State's Attorney Srowe for in vestigation and released Edson on bond of $1,000. PILSUDSKY MADE CHIEF 0B ARMY; ' I Berlin, July 9.

D1 rv Ruse, Scoffs - Police Chief Arresting Officer, Ex-Baroer, Claimant to Reward, Shaved Man Believed Slain, He Contends. Hastings, Neb ., July 10. W. W. lgs chief of police at i Ringer is alleged Branagan, Hastings the time Donald to have slain Carl Moore, automobile salesman, holds the plea, that Moore , may be alive in contempt. It was ' on that contention, or possibility, that Ringer, 19 years old. was reprieved; by Governor McMullen Friday morn ing, three hours before he was to have been executed for the crime. Branagan was a barber, prior to his incumbency as chief of police, and says he cut Moore's hair and shaved him innumberable times before the body, identified as Moore, was found October 16, 1924. Branagan's scof- fiing of the story assumed the pro portions of labeling the st6ry of Dr. J. J. Cameron, Kearney, Neb., a ruse. It was Dr. Cameron who said he dress ed a wound in a man's hip three days after Moore was supposed to have been murdered the man. ac cording to Dr. Cameron, was Moore. Granagan was the officer who ar rested Ringer and has claim to the $1,000 reward offered for the slayer of the man whose body was Identified as that of Moore. He, however, has refused to claim it, or make a state ment as to its disposition. The former chief of police also scoffs the story that Ringer is only 19. He says the boy's mother told him at the time of the arrest, that he was 20 then. RINGER TO FILE CLEMENCY PLEA. Lincoln. Neb., July 10. Donald Ringer will file a modified applica tion for a commutation of sentence, it became known Friday evening. Ringer's attorney, J. E. Willits of Hastings, called at the pardon board office and obtained a blank. His first request for a hearing on commutation was denied by Gover nor McMullen and Attorney Spillman, after his attorney had stated that his principal grounds for the request was the youth of the prisoner, who is 20 years old. Secretary of State Pool did not participate in this spec ial hearing or decision. The board will meet in regular ten sion Tuesday at the penitentiary to consider a long list of applications from prisoners for paroles. At that time the new application for com mutation of sentence to life impris onment or other relief, is expected to be acted upon. If the board decides to hold a hearing, which is understood is cer tain, notice must be published for 30 days. In that event the governor will issue a reprieve for that period or until the next monthly meeting of the board. NEWSPAPERS AND UTILITIES ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS Classing the daily newspapers and the public service corporations as "brothers under the skin," because both are public utilities serving the American people with an essential! and permanent daily service, W. P. Strandberg, of Portland Oregon says: "Of the two it would bo unfair to say which is the most indispensible. The newspapers have a daily circula tion of 25.000,000, while the major utilities, light, power, gas and tele phone, have contact relations with about 35.009,000 customers. "One thng is sure. It would be a momumental catastrophe of either public utilities or the daily newspa per should discontinue service for a single day. Both have become a vital part in the progress of modern civil ization and society." Last vear, it is estimated, public utilities spent approximately $25, 000.000 for advertising, of which 03 per cent was used in the elaily news papers. GUESS WORK REMOVED FROM MOULDING SANDS Ithaca, X. Y., July 0. Science has taken the gues3 work out of another industrial process. It has evolved standard methods for testing molding sancls-which enable the foundryman to tell whether the sand he is using for a given casting has the right pro perties for preventing flaws, whether it is strong enough and whether it contains the proper venting qualities. One of the factors leading to the organization of the research commit tee was the gradual depletion of the deposits of highgrade molding sand and increased costs of shipments from new and less accessible beds. The an nual sand bill of the American foun drymen. it is estimated, had soared to $8,000,000, and so scientists were asked to find a means of preventing waste. MRS.
