Gayc Excellent Program The program which the Lutheran Trinity church two miles north of Murdock gave last Sunday from the Henry Fields studio, was listened tc by people all over the country and also greatly enjoyed. The sermon which was delivered by the minister the Rev. G. A. Zuch was a very able discourse, and could not help but be enjoyed by anyone who were fortun ate enough to be listening in. The chorus which was the product of the choir, was very inspiring, and was just like being in the building to those whose radio was working well.

"I attend church in hot weather because: God has blessed the Lord's day and hallowed it, making no exceptions for hot ar cold or stormy days. I expect the cleryman to be there. I should be very much suprised if he were to stay home on account of the weather. If his hands fail thru weakness. I shall have great reason to bJa.:ie myself unless I sustain him by my prayers and presence. Whatever station I hold in the church my example must influence others. If I -stfyy away, why not others? Such weather will show me on what foundation my faith is built; it will prove how much I love Christ. True love rarely fails to meet an ap pointment. My faith is to be shown by n.y self-denying Christian life and not by the rise and fall of the thermo meter." No temperature can mke us stop. No weather is for us too hot, Except for church. K. R.

Democrats Get Organization All Ready to Function General Headquarters Probably Will Be at New York Western Of fice May Be at Denver New York, July 12. After a round table discussion of campaigr strategy with Governor Smith, mem bers of the democratic national com mittee left for home tonight, deter mined to lose no time in getting their state and local organizations in full steam operation. For more than an hour in his campaign headquarters at the Bilt more, the presidential nominee dis cussed the outlook with the com mittee men and women, who yes terday, at his suggestion, made John J. Raskob, financial director of Gen eral Motors, their chairman and en trusted to him the management of the campaign. Raskob, who earlier in the day had conferred with some of the com mittee members was present unti forced to leave to catch a train for his summer home in Maryland, where lie plans to spend the week end. In attendance also was Herbert Lehman the committe's new director of fin ance. Senator Gerry of Rhode Island who has been placed at the head of the campaign advisory committee, and George R. Van Namee. Smith's pre convention manager, who is expected to be in charge of eastern campaign operations. Robinson Not on Hand. Senator Robinson, the vice presi dential nominee, was not on hand as he left for Washington during the night. Dates for the notification of both the governor and his runnin mate were not discussed, and it was in dicated later that it probably would be some days before they would be fixed. Committee members reported thai the general opinion was that it would be unwise to establish regional head quarters in the south, as Senator Rob inson has proposed. Representatives from the "solid south" for the most part felt that there was no chance of losing any states in that section Predictions were made by com mittee that general campaign head quarters would be here, rather than in Washington, where the republi cans will have their main base, and the suggestion came from several sources that Denver would be a gooc1 location for western headquarters. 'Dry' Senator Favors Smith Senator Dill of Washington Says New Yorker Eunning As An Executive Spokane. Wash.. July 12. An nouncing his candidacy for re-election.

Senator Dill said that if re-electee1 he would do everything in his powei to prevent modification of the pro hibition lav.-, except to make It more stringent. "Al Smith is running for president as an executive," Senator Dill said "As such his business is to enforce the law. He may make reeommeudo tions to congress which that body in its wisdom may act upon." Senator Dill declared that if the New York governor were elected he would sign legislation that would "protect the people from the grea' power octopus that menaces the economic life of this country as noth ing has done since we abolished sla very. He would sign a farm bill thai would place the farmers on a basir of equality with other citizens. He would sign a bill to prevent the ar bitrary use of court injunction in labor disputes.

An indication that he would establish in his ruling the legality of the special grand jury investigating primary election disor ders, was given tonight by Judge Frank Commerford.

The hearing will be resumed tomorrow at which time the state will argue that the Jury :s legal. "I am strictly opposed to grand juries." declared Judge Comerford. "Today the grand jury is a smoke screen in back of which many o poli screen in back of which many a poli A crooked state's attorney could use the grand jury as a bludgeon of pro secution. The grand jury was meant orieinally to be a grand inquisition."

Plattsmouth Factor COMPANY Ford Dealers 2 ! u Plattsmouth Judge Has Good Public Record Sarpy County Agriculturalist Tells of Work of Xudge Bcgley on the Bench in District. Judge James T. Begley of Platts mouth, who delivered the main pa triotic address at the city celebra tion at Brown Park in South Omaha on July 4 has established an enviable record as a public speaker. His de-j livery is unique and original. The; best tribute which can be paid to a public speaker was given by a Sarpy county farmer fho heard the Fourth of July oration, who said. "It is a noticeable fact that his audience does not become restless, as many I have seen have become." ; - j Judge Begley is a Sarpy county product and has many friends In this county. He has held many public offices with distinction, and has an enviable record as a law enforcement officer. In 1908 as village attorney of Fa pillion, he drew, had passed, and en forced. an ordinance prohibiting the holding of public dances in any building connected with a saloon. In 1912 as county attorney, he drove the law violators out of Sarpy coun ty, and for the first time in its his tory enforced the Patrick law pro hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquor within two and one-half miles of Fort Crook. He was offered a bribe of $250 per month to permit the hootlogpers to operate, and im mediately prosecuted and convicted the offender. As district judge he has been call ed upon many times to construe the liquor act. He was the first district judqc to construe the act as permit ting evidence of smell to be received instead of the liquors, and also was th firpt judg to hold that a mort gage lien on an automobile was lost when the auto was confiscated and proved to have been used for the il legal transportation of intoxicating liquor. This case was appealed to the supreme court and at the request of the county attorney he wrote the brief nr. behalf of the state and also the brief on rehearing. The supreme ccuit sustained the main contention that the legislature had such author ity, but. by a divided court, held that it" had not so clearly stated in the act. The legislature then being in session, at his suggestion the present amendment was placed in the liquor act expressly stating that all such lieii3 are lo;rt when the auto is thus used. This is -the backbone of the liquor act and without it enforce ment would be difficult. In 1023. on petition of the people cf Cass county, he called a grand jury to investigate law violations, and when the prosecuting machinery of the county broke down, appointed able prosecutors to represent the state. He gave every man indicted an opportunity for trial within 20 days and bad all trials completed within 90 days. Wheu you compare this record with that of the Teapot Dome scan'lal3 which occurred in our national capitol at about the same time, and where only two trials have been had and nobody convicted up to date, you can appreciate what law enforcement means. Judge Begley has never paroled a liquor law -iolator, and has conduct ed trials promptly and speedily. He has a record of having tried and com pleted three separate jury trials in one day on several occasions, thus saving thousands of dollars in costs each year. Saipy County Agricul turalist.

Real Activities at Metzger Hog Ranch at Cullom Sixty Car Loads of Cattle and 600 i Head of Hogs Shipped Out During that Time. j The Metzger Hog Ranch up near Cullom, looks like a deserted village at this time, as all the fat cattle and hogs have been moved to market. Mr. Taul Smith, who has been in charge of the ranch, and Mr. C. E. Metzger, the owner, were in the city last Saturday, and they tell us that the place has been completely cleaned out during the past two weeks. Sixty car loads of fat cattle were shipped to Chicago and fiOO hogs were also sent in to market, and business around the ranch will be practically closed until some time in January. At this time new grass range stuff will be shipped in from Colorado. Mr. Smith will leave in a few days for Hudson, Colo., where he will engage in range work until the grass fed cattle move east, at which time they will move about 1800 head to the Metzger ranch for winter and spring fattening. Mr. Smith is employed by one of the largest, if not the largest cattle men in the world today, Mr. Klint Heard, of Denver, who has fed and shipped the past season a total of 5,000 steers and 25.000 sheep, and while the little bunch shipped out of Cass count' seems very small to the total number, it will represent about one-quarter of a million dollars, fat tened at the Metzger ranch. This is the largest number of cattle ever shipped out of Cass county at one time, too. Mr. Heard ships these cattle from his Colorado ranges to the Metzger ranch, and Mr. Metzger feeds them for him on contract, and we are in formed that he is very well pleased with the outcome of this' bunch, as several of the shipments topped the Chicago market, and all brought prices that were very gratifying to him, and we are pleased to know that he will ship an even larger num ber into Cass county this winter. Mr. Smith will return at that time to manage the ranch. Having 400 canes Harry Lauder seems to be well provided for old age.
