In Nebraska, ornamental shrubs and trees as well as fruit plants had better be transplanted next spring rather than this fall. If it were cer tain that the plants would get plenty of moisture all winter and that the winter would be. mild, much would be gained by planting at this time of the year. The plants would pro duce considerable root growth before the spring plantings. However, too often the cold dry winds and the lack of snow tax the resisting powers of even the well established plants. Such winters always cause heavy losses among the fall planted trees and shrubs. Such ornaments as peonies, phlox, larkspur, columbine, lillies, tulips, narcissi, hyacinthe and jonquils, however," should be planted in the fall. L. R. SNIPES, . Co. Exten. Agent. TAKING VIEWS HERE From Wednesday s Daily Sup't C. J. Connett, Dr. S. E. Con dra. Val Kuska, .Colizination Agent of the C. B. & Q. will visit Platts mouth, according to a telephone mes sage received by the chamber of com merce, this coming Thursday,' to take still and movie photographs of points of "interest "along" the river.

This feature of - advertising must come to get results and it is felt cer tain by the chamber of commerce that when the opportune time comes to put this Into action, it will receive the hearty support of the farmers, and merchants or this section of the state, and stimulate our realty busi ness, bringing more families into this "chosen land" -Cass county and Plattsmouth in particular. MARRIED AT NEBRASKA CITY The many friends over Cass county will be interested in learning of the marriage at Nebraska City last week of Miss' Erma Shera, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S.

One of the Seatures of the event was a wedding dinner fit for a king that was enjoy- ed to the fullest extent by all of the members of the party. The bride was born and reared to womanhood in the locality where her parents now reside and is one of the most popular ladies of that locality.

Nebraskans Join- iinginKomeseekers Colonies in West Tide of Emigration Still to the West the Figures of Burlington Rail road Shows. The path of empire still running . wpt. hnmpsppkprs' colonies in Wyo- inois will head the list, with an es timated exodus of 10,000 persons in search of western farming homes. In addition to the number of emigrants for the year, which represents an es timate made by J. B. Lamson, head of the departmnt of agricultural devel opment for the Burlington railroad, numerous excursions will be made by farmers traveling in parties at. home seekers' rates, to investigate the lure of the west, ponder the counsel of Horace Greeley and eventually, per haps, to join the exodus. Inquiries from the middle west coming to the offices of Burlington colonization agents between 1922 and 1926 have totalled 60,000. Migration is ever westward. West ern colonies are attracting several dif ferent classes of citizens. First come tenant farmers of the middle west, eager to achieve coveted independ ence and security for old age. , Their number is augmented by land-poor farmers, who sell their holdings and with the proceeds buy smaller western irrigated farms which produce an amount equivalent to their former large holdings, enabling them to reserve a portion of their capital for operating expenses. In many of the colonized regions crops are produced on contract, for a stat ed market price. Industrial workers tired of city life; compose a large percentage of colon-) ists. Clerical workers are attracted to outdoor life. School teachers and stenographers enjoy ne surroundings; and the possility of financial inde pendence, or of marrying prosperous ranchmen in the "womanless west." "The tide of population moves slow ly." said Mr. Lamson who has had many years experience in colonization! work. "We find that colonization al ways progresses by the step system. Our experience has shown that fam ilies, in one or two generations, pass, for example, from Ohio to Illinois, then to Nebraska, from Nebraska to Wyoming, and son on "The Burlington railroad, long identified with the agricultural in terests of the middle west and colon ization projects in the west, through its agricultural development depart ment and colonization agents, per forms much friendly service for the emigrants," Mr. Lamson explained "We arrange excursion parties and plan their tours so that -prospective settlers are enabled easily -to inves tigate the regions in which they, are interested, and to meet and be enter tained by resident colonists while on tour "Motor tours through central and northern Illinois were made in May under the direction of B. Stevenson, eastern representative of the Big Horn Baein Colonization association, who has permanent headquarters at Oma ha, Neb., to advertise the Big Horn Basin project, in Wyoming, to pros pertive settlers. Much interest was shown and tours, begun in Septem ber, are now being conducted. Dur ing August a party of 125 persons. which met at Minneapolis, made a tour of Montana "We are reminded of the enormous spread of the United States when we stop to realize that though in the last quarter century millions of acres of western land have been settled, that millions yet remain. Why, in one region alone, that of the Big Horn Basin, in Northern Wyoming, a great topographical bowl bordered by moun tains 7.000 to 14,000 feet high, there are 7.000,000 acres. Of these. 1,000,- 000 are tillable with irrigation, and 250,000 are now irrigated and de veloped. "The basin is proving one of the most attractive areas to settlers, and there is now in effect a guaranteed minimum price for the principal crops. Farmers who grow beets are certain of $8 a ton for them, the highest price which has been paid . w Busrar manufacturers Seed peas an(j beans are crown on a contract . bp sis, and for a fixed price. Irriga- tion is well established, and colonists may settle there assured that they have been protected, as far as pos sible, from future difficulties. "Settlers may homestead 640 acres of dry land, and from 40 to 80 acres of irrigated land. Irrigated land costs about $100 a nacre, which represents the cost of installing the irrigation system. Terms of payment are such as to place a home within the reach of anyone possessed of a small amount of capital, five per cent at purchase, no further payment for fivey ears, then a series of payments extending over fifteen years. No Interest is charged. The settler must live on the land three years, seven month a year.

Masonic .Temple Association The' capitol commission will meet October 23 to determine whether to try at all hazards to have represent ative hall ready in the rough for members of the lower house of the legislature when that body is called to convene January 4, 1927. W. E. Hardy of Lincoln, member of the commission, conferred with Secretary Cochran Monday and this date for the meeting was fixed in view of the fact that Walter W. Head of Omaha cannot attend a meeting at an earlier date. The other members are Gov ernor McMullen and Judge W. II. Thompson. Mr. Hardy in the meantime will confer with the proper officers of the Masonic temple association in regard- to renting the large lodge room and the small lodge room in the Scottish Rite temple at Fifteenth and L streets, one block north of the capitol grounds. He will be prepared to report to the capitol commission. It is understood that if the rooms can be obtained the state will be required to pay only sufficient rent to redecorate the lodge rooms at the close of. the legislative session. The smaller room Is suitable for the use of the senate, composed of thirty three members. The larger lodge room would be large enough to house the 100 members of the house. Commissioner Hardy said the hall in the new capitol would have to be equipped with a temporary roof if it is used next winter. Its use would prevent workmen from continuing, their labor on the house for more than three months and thus delay completion of the hall . for tnai length of time. Mr. Hardy said it will be difficult to open a passage to the unfinished representative hall without blocking work on a con siderable part of the whole building. The second court room in the new capitol which was proposed as a hall fnr the, senate next winter has been delayed by changes in the framework calling fo rnew steel wnicn nas noi yet been received.
