Declaring that the crop loss from drouth in the plains country er.t of the Rockies equals the half-bil lion aggregate fiood loss in the south. Congressman Willis G. Sears, as chairman of the Missouri-Arkansas Congressional association has sent a letter to other representatives suggesting that the proposed reser voir system of flood control offers a solution for both problems. "East of the Rocky mountains is a strip of territory two thousand miles long and four hundred miles wide available for storage of water," Sears says. "Most of this land, some 240 milion acres.- has never been thor oughly wet down to its subsoil since white man has had it. At least half of this acreage hns a capacity to hold approximately two and a half acre feet of water." Sears points out that a large part of the flood water comes from this strip, with little effort at conserva tion. "The history of this territory is that cn average years crops will look fire in May and early June, and then burn up and be lost through the rest of the maturing season," he says. Levees alone have proved inade quate for flood control. Sars says and he believer, that the two prob lems correlate and should be handled together in a comprehensive plan empounding fiood water in Ihe en tire nation. Plans involving a solution of these problems will be brought to the attention of congress. Sears says, in asking other congressman what thei? attitude will be. BUMPER CROP WILL MEAN MORE ACREAGE Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 19. A bump er crop has resulted in an increase in the wheat acreage that will be planted in Nebraska this fall, it was shown by a survey of the state com pleted today by A. E Anderson of the department of agriculture divi sion of the agricultural statistics. Present intentions of farmers are to sow 3.S89.000 acres of winter wheat, which is S per cent more than the 3,569,000 ceres put out in 1926. Wheat abandoned in 1927 was only 3 per cent. The report of Anderson shows wheat acreage in Nebraska will not increase as extensively as it will in general over the United States. A recent national report showed an in crease of 13 per cent is probable over the wheat belt. An increase of 20 per cent in acre age of rye, a total of 349.000 acres as compared to 304,000 acres last year, was shown in the forecast, based, on announced intentions of Nebraska farmers. YOUTHS INJURED BLASTING STUMPS Geneva, Neb., Aug. 13. Burdette Higginbothara is the second lad to be injured while balsting stumps on a highway in this county during the summer. Saturday an explosion peppered the young man's face with powder and barely missed injury to his eyes. June 30, Darrel Scott, aged twenty-one, received injuries to his eyes which will probably cost him the sight of -one of them. He has j been in a Lincoln hospital since the ! accident. Darrell was working on a j county road near Ohiowa at the time ,and had finished tamping the dirt over the explosive when it blew up setting fire to a box containing sev enty-five caps. The caps exploded and struck the youth in the fact. When entertaining, nse Dennison goods. Bates Book and Gif. Shop carries the entire Dennison line and materials. 'EMT. Wanderers on Highway Find Going Harder Man in the Car Chary of Picking, up Strangers on the Road and Helping Them. Ohio State Journal: "It's getting tough, mister, tougher and tougher." Jim had settled down for what he thought would be a long life west ward in the comfortable back seat. He had honored a match and a cigaret, in the order named, ind his. opinion came after a long drag and much deep thought. Jim is a thumbjerker. Once in a while he works, but mostly thumb-! jerks. Jim has been on probably all of the main roads in the country. His traveling equipment, and expenses are light. He spends the summer liftin Jim is typical of the young fellow who awaits a kind hearted motorist on the edge of a small town and asks for a lift to wherever the(the department of immigration and kind hearted motorist happens to be going, the farther the better. And Jim says it's getting tough, this thumbjerking industry. He cant't count on the good lifts any more. He gets the lifts still, btu he hasn't the comrades as of yore. "I guess maybe we overbid it." Jim ruminated a3 another mile slipped by. "It used to be a fight at the out- skirts of a town and a lot of us would actually have to walk. The girl.; got the good lifts. But I could al ways count on at least 200 miles a day. "Nowadays the competition isn't so great, but it's getting tougher and tougher to get lifts. Something's hap pened to the drivers. Lots of big cars with only one or two people in them puss right by now." Doesn't Pay to Give Rides The something thrt has happened to the lift-hiking business would ap pear to be the realization by the gen eral public that it doesn't pay tr give rides, either to the motorist or the liftee. Cartoons and editorials against the practice by motor car clubs, so cial workers and newspapers appar ently have taken effect on Mr. Driv er. "Drivers are beginning to realize the potential dangers of the prac tice." Paul R. Gingher, counsel for the Columbus, O.. . Automobile club says. "Many drivers have been rob bed, altho I don't mean that all thumhjerkers are robbers, and many more have bumped up against the law in the case. "For the thumbjerker becomes the guest of the driver and court3 recog nize him as an invited guest and the driver therefore becomes linbl for his safety while a passenger. There have been several cases where the thumbjerker ha-i collcted damages." "Well. I don't know much about the law nng?e of it." Jim ruminated. "Sure the bums have spoiled it ? lot. If they'd all behave themselves like me. btit what-ran you expect with thousands of fellows lifting rides? I suppose a lot of drivers have get bumped in the head for their money or got. their can taken away from them. Nov.-, me, I "Say, which way you fellow? turn ing?"' The driver told him he was going to a small town on the National Road. And so Jim was left at the s:de of the road wondering how much tougher it was going to get. There seems to be little doubt that the art is n;ising. W. S. Rird, man ager cf the Columbus Auto club, says many of the hundreds of tour ists who came to the club for mtor mation have remarked that fewor thumbjerkers were on the roads this summer. If thumbjerking loses caste alto gether it will mean the pnssirg cf cheap vacations for thousands of young lovers of the open spaces. One young man. a college studen would leave his home, some sixty miles from Columbus in the earl', morning. He would get a lift with little trouble, spent a few cents for car fare to tbe edge of the city and begin thumbjerking. By night he would be at his destination his girl'r. house in Pittsburgh. The r,ext night he would be back home, having spent not more man -o cenu on transportation. IN TRAINING CAMP AT CENTRAL CITY Central City, Neb., Aug. 17.

At the last, she suffer ed greatly and death came as a wel come release from her sufferings. Mrs. Schliefert's maiden name was Martha Lau. She was the daughter of the late William and Emile Lau. early pioneers of this part of Cass county, where all their children were born. Mrs. Schliefert was bom on June 25, 1870. At the time of her passing she was 57 years, 1 month and 20 days old. In her infancy she was baptised by the Rev. Hannewaldt, pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran church of Louisville. She was confirmed April 6, 18S4. under the pastorate of Rev. Catenhusen, a pioneer minister here. On November 7, 1889. she was mar ried to William Schliefert and all their married life was spent on th? farm near Manley until last spring, when they retired from farm life and bought a beautiful home on Cherry hill in Louisville, where it was hoped the change of scene and easier life mieht prove beneficial to her health. Besides her husband, she leaves a son. Elmer, at home and a daughter, Erna. now Mrs. Conrad Wehrmann, living on the home farm. They have a little son. the only grandchild. One boy. Albert, died in 1891. She also haves two eisters and one brother. They are Mrs. E. G. Fautsch, Mrs. A. C. Pautsch and William Lau, all of this community. The funeral services were held at the home at one o'clock in the after noon Wednesday, after which the funeral party wended its way to the Evangelical Lutheran church south west of town. The pastor. Rev. T. Hartman, conducted the services and his text for the sermon "-as taken from Psalms 4:8, "Now I Lay Me Down in Peace to Sleep." The paster spoke of life as being nt always peaceful but full of storms and strife and sometimes dan gers beset one's pathway. But God rives to those who love and obey Him, His peace which is a Christian' pillow, upon which to lay his head. He spoke of the dear departed as on who had followed the faith of her 1 nI j fathers during her childhood and in haSjto womanhood and when the botir of death overtook her. she could rest in peace upon God's pillow.
