The charge as made in the com plaint filed by J. A.

Advertise for it! Winter wheat yields are excellent although slightly below earlier indi cations. The preliminary estimate of yield is 21 bu. The reduced yield was due to premature ropening caus ed by high, dry winds at the time wheat was filling which resulted in some shrunken wheat. This was tak en into consideration last month but the full extent of the injury could not be determined definitely then. The present forecast is 72,597,000 bu., as compared to 74,740,000 bu. a month ago, 37,165,00 bu. last year and the 5-year average of 42,018,000 bu.

The former banker was found, ac cording to the story of the Omaha Bee, working as an attendant at a filling station in Cleveland, Ohio, and when arrested admitted his iden tity. Mr. Patterson, according to the message from the Bee stated that he had left his home and family without word, owing to worry over financial matters. He stated that he had been in Cleveland since August. 1924, a few weeks after his disappearance, and the message stated he had been em ployed at the filling station there for many months. Mr. Patterson had gone with his wife to Chicago, in June, 1924, mo toring from their home at Union, and on the day of his supposed death he had accompanied Mrs. Patterson and his sister down into the business section of Chicago to do some shop ping, leaving the ladies down town and he had then gone to a bathing beach on the shores of Lake Michi gan near the home of his sister. The last seen of Mr. Patterson was when he left the wife and sister, as they started on a shopping tour. Later, after search was instituted, his auto was found parked near the beach, with his clothing, watch and valuables in the car, as well as a purchase ticket for a bathing suit bought that day in one of the down town stores. i The family had search made along the beach and lakeshore in hope of locating the missing man, but all in vain.

Frady's Garage Phone 58 Tn Waterloo county. Ontario. Aug. 8, 1859. a little life was launched upon the wings of time to begin an earthly career. This little bundle of happiness and sunshine which came to bless and make happier the home, the parents were pleased to name William Wilken. His develop-, ment was attended with joyous an ticiption as he passed through the period of infancy, childhood, youth and into the maturer years of life, making as he has his personal con tribution to each period in passing. Heaven has been very gracious and kind to him in that he is drawing so near the allotted three score and ten. Mr. Wilken came to Nebraska 5o vpara aeo where he remained endur- ling the hardships and privations of i the early pioneer and where in these latter years he has been enjoying thef ruits of his labors. The past nine years he and his good compan ion have been worthy and respected citizens of our little Elmwood vil lage. Last Monday, August the Sth, be ing the anniversary of his birth, his son, Fred of Elmwood, planned a very pleasant surprise on him by go ing in the evening with about 25 friends and relatives to remind him that he had reached mile stone No. ( 68, and to help him celebrate the oc casion in a fitting manner. The eve ning was very pleasantly spent in visiting and music. At a late hour ice cream, cake and coffee was served. Brother Haist, Mr. Wilken's pastor, made a very appropriate talk to which Mr. Wilkin responded with a few well chosen words. One verse of "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," was sung and all departed wishing Mr. Wilken many happy re turns of such a joyous occasion. May there be more of such pleasant reminders by the gathering of friends and loved ones in those homes where dear ones are going down thew estern slope, sitting in the twilight of life, their sun rapidly going down and conscious of the fact that the evening shadows creep ing on are drawing the curtains of thel ast night about them.

The McFarland Studio Second Floor Bekins Building Plattsmouth, Nebraska VOLUNTEERS LABOR DONA TION ON WIRING BUILDING From Friday's Dally Another of the experienced elec tricians of the city, Joe Hiber, has volunteered to donate his services in connection with the wiring of the new Legion community building this coming week. This makes three ex perienced electricians Leonard Ter ryberry, William Highfield and Mr. Hiber, who will have the assistance of a force of Legionnaire helpers in cutting the conduit, putting it in place, etc., while the experienced men will have charge of the wiring details. The Nebraska Gas and Electric company are making connection to the building today, through a large conduit lead at the rear and with their meter panel installed juice will be available for the operation of an electric drill and electric soldering irons. Seven distinct leads will be pro vided, arranged with a view to se curing maximum lighting efficiency. Twenty-five ceiling outlets in the 58xSS assembly room will consume 100 watts each and be provided with a special type of shade that spreads the light evenly over the portion it should cover. An additional circuit of four lights over the orchestra platform in the center of the build ing will permit of darkening the rest of the room without interfering with the music. Although no circuit is aimed to carry over 650 watts, nothing small er than No. 12 wire will be used, and the main lead-in will be three wire No. 6, to allow for future needs of the finished building, which will pull approximately 8,000 watts. The present installation will pull about 3,250 watts. The Legion appreciates the volun tary offers of these gentlemen and all other tradesmen whose interest in the building program prompts them to give freely of their labor a om modity as valuable as money itself.
