MARTIN 111 S. 6th Phone 35 Work Early and Late on Wheat Harvest in State Continued Optimistic Report From All Sections of State Show This Year to Be One of Best. Harvesting reports coming in from over Nebraska indicate the best wheat crop for several years. Implement dealers have been swamped with Gr iters for harvesting machinery, repairs ami twine and farmers have been working cany ana uue. wue io me heavy grain and extreme heat the harvesting has been progressing more slowly than in former years. Reports from Central City are or a big yield in Merrick county, vit:i wheat heaw and well headed out and oractieallv free from rust. If fa v- orable weather continues it will soon all be in the shock. The rye crop while not heavy in acreage, is also of splendid quality and heavy yield. The same promises to be true of and barley. OatS There are some very heavy fields i of wheat in Phelps county. Many sur - prisinglv large yields are looked for and it is predicted that the crop will he the best in the county since 1902 and may surpass that year. Nance countv reports an excellent crop, with harvesting started off by Duke Dudnev Tuesday. He says it) takes five pounds of twine to the acre. Dudnev says he believes his crop this year is the best in his forty years in j Nance county. t Shclton reports practically all cf t! e wheat in the Platte valley ripej and ready to harvest. Harvest hands have been much in demand and a; treat many transients have come in for the week. The grain is expected: to average all the way from twenty to forty bushels per acre, with high-) er yields possible. Local elevator, men have been busy getting their elevators in shape for the new crop. Fanne rs in Colfax and north Butler county say the crop is better than the average. The Colfax county imple-j ment company has been unable to make delivery this year because thej manufacturing plants were unable toj keep up with the demand for the! new harvester combine. The wheat harvest is nearly over near Hardy, with a yield much larger i than was expected a few weeks ago.) Ir that community nearly all the gram was Harvested witnout mucn cutide help. The first new wheat arrived in Fairhury Tuesdiy afternoon from the Tra-.im farm west of town, cut and threshed with a new combine. The second load came shortly after from Ernest Riddler's held on the Cramb far?n nrrth- It also was cut and threshed by a combine and the yield is e.-tiir.ated. at twenty-seven bushels. At Piller the Farmers' elevator has cold ."0.000 bushels for $1,25 a bushel e.n contract for the farmers of that vicinity. Cutting in Seward county began last Thursday and has been in prog ress ever since, some farmers not even rtopping for Sunday and more ignoring the Fourth of July. A good yidd is predicted. LoUISVlIIc 0 Plav Here Ceming Sunda' Team That Laid Away Fort Crook to Show for First Time in Sea son on Local Lot. The Louisville team of the Sarpy- ' Cass County league which last Sun day knocked Fort Crook into a tit with P'.attsmotuh for the league leadership, will Le the hcadlir.cr at, the local park on Sunday afternoon.! This will he the first time this) season that the Iouisvillo team has, been here and they will have with; them a great many new faces, as several snappy players from Xehaw l:a and other points Yiave hern en rolled in the cement makers. With their local players and the new addi tions to the team the Louisville bunch should be able to put up a . real scrap against the locals. Fort Corok and Papillion will bat tle Sunday and the Sarpy county seat bunch will go their best to further humiliate the soldiers and1 with their fast playing organization should give the doughboys the time cf their lives. The shattered Pelle- vue team that has been badlv upset the past two weeks will have piinghekl as their foe and u the Collegiates are in the same form they were here Sunday the west Sarpy town should be able to chalk up one. In the two games that Plattsmouth (and Fort Crook have played there has been a fifty-fifty split, the locals being defeated at the Fort while they I handed the soldiers a defeat here, so that the persent league leaders are well matched apparently. The Louisville game will be fought bitterly by the locals who have clean ed up three straights now and are looking to add their foutrh vitcory in their fight toward the league lead ership. I inis year me locais are matting a !hard fight for the pennant and while last season they led the league at the 'start and then slumped, this year they are statring from the bottom and hope to end up among the elect at the head of the list. I The game Sunday should be one of the best of the season with Louis ville taking a new lease on life and the Platters going in good form and should give the fans an afternoon of real sport. Maybe there is nothing perman ent under the sun, but Spain's war with the Riffs still drags out an atten- ' uated existence. REPORT OP THE CONDITION OF THE FARMERS STATE BANK of Plattsmouth, Nebr.

Last Sunday afternoon The Deacon editor drove to the township line north of town and inspected the road 'work just finished by Commissioner Fred (Jorder and his blader outfit. Tiie road work from Alvo to the Lan caster line is up in p,ood shape, airl the workmen are now coiihiis; south on the line at the east side of Kas:le past the school house to O street. After this is finished they will touch ' up other bad places, and when fall rains and winter snows come it is i hoped there will be much less cause for complaint about soft places and mud holts. It is Mr. Cordcr's hope to s;et all cf the worst traces put in shape this summer that they misht have a chance to settle before winter. We are informed that in oon.e ot tne worst places more or less team work will be donated by adjacent farmers and fills will be made to place the road above danger of overflow and provide better drainage. The first places bc-ins lucked aTlcr are the mail and school routes, as these roads must be used daily. The Larding- Highway south to Palmyra is just about ready for gra vel, which we understand will be on this month. The grading of O street to union is progressing nicely, and every effort is being made to get the gravel on it this year. Altogether Ne braska's road progam is' being vigor ously worked out. and we are ex tremely well pleased with the work being, done in Cass county. Eagle Peacon.
