suit of the opening up of the spring
s'T-son and the melting of the snow
that has laid over the ground since
the first part of January and which
:;ow melting with the frost coming
from the ground makes the road prob
lem one difficult to handle.
East and west roads have appar
ently suffered the most from the ef
fects of the snow and ice forming
which now melting have made a
number of bad places that are re
quiring the efforts of the road work
ers to i y and get in shape. On the
highw: there are several had places
on the Ming of Trails highway from
north to south, one of he worst of
which i" north of Union and where
detour has been necessary while soft
places are found all along the road
v. ay arrd which are being handled as
rapidly as possible to give the road
the former good surface.
On the farm roads off the main
highways the residents are engaged
in harrowing and dragging the roads
to get them in shape where they are
not handicapped by the larger mud
holes and a week or good weather
should permit the greater part of
the-e roads to be in very good shape
and especially where heavy travel
does not wear them down as rapidly.
The county eomissioners as well as
tlx. j-.ieeinct and district road worker-;
are kept on the job to try and
get the roads in shJDe ard a few
lays work it is hoped will get all
roads passible and gradually work
ed back in good shape for the late
spring season and be ready to resist
the rains that may soon be expected.
Plattsmouth
Low in State for
Indebtedness
Ranks Second in Having Lowest Per
Capita of Indebtedness in the
State McCook Largest.
Of the twenty-one cities in Ne
braska with a population, according
to the 1920 federal census, ot more
than 3,000 inhabitants, McCook has
the highest tax levy with 52.10 per
$1,000, of property valuation. Chad
ron is second with $50. SO per $1,000,
and North Platte third with $49.40,
according to a compilation prepared
in State Auditor Johnson's office by
Hond Examiner Ralph C. Lawrence.
The school district levy is the larg
est element of the total tax in all
these cities, with the exception of the
school district of Seottsbluff, whose
rate per $1,000 is $20.40, while the
city levy is $21.20. In a number of
instances the school district tax ex
ceeds the combined amount of the
levies for all other purposes,
j The state levy is uniform over the
: entire state, the 1928 impost being
S2.C0 per $1,000 valuation. The state
levy is $169 lower for 192S than for
1927, due to a special levy being
made in 1927 of $1.50 mills to take
care of a deficit in the state treas
ury. Levies for special assessments

ing and portions of sewer improve
ments, are on tincluded in the sta
tistics here summarized. They are a
matter of local taxes only and are
not available.
What Taxes Go. For.
County, city and school district
levies are for general expenses, main
tenance, and for interest and princi
pal of general indebtedness of the
sub division. They are made on the
assessed valuations of the respective
sub-divisions.
Precinct, township and road dis
trict levies are for special bridge or
road improvements and are made on
the same basis.
The assessed valuation in each in
stance has been certified to the state
auditor's office by the country clerk
of the county in which the city is
located. Indebtedness in every case.
Cities With Heaviest Debts.
McCook has the highest pi r capita
debt with $264.46. Holdrege is sec
ond with $223.63 and Omaha third
with $220.45.
Havelock is the lowest city of this
class with $60.10 per capita. Platts
mouth is second lowest with $73.31
and York third with $73.99.
Some authorities hold that special
assessment bonds and those which are
payable from plant revenues, such as
water, gas, light, etc., should be de
ducted from the total amount of gen
eral indebtedness of a city. However,
these bonds are all issued as general
municipal obligations and their pay
ment is guaranteed by the city. For
this reason they have been included
in figuring the per capita debt.
Herewith are detailed statistics for
the twenty-one cities referred to:

New MacLean
Film at Parmele
is Fast Stepping
Action Plus, Features New Douglas
MacLean Comedy-Drama at the
Parmele Theatre.
Douglas MacLean steps out in a
new production and a very fast and
actionable one at that after a con
siderable absence from the screen. lie
was last seen in "Soft Cushions," a
fantastical romance with a regular
Arabian Nights setting, and now he
steps out in something radically dif
ferent in "The Carnation Kid," which
has a dark plot, full of drama and
thrills, located in the underground
society of a big city. The picture is
to be shown at the Parmele theatre
on Sunday and Monday.
MacLean is one of the stars who
has been counted on for standard en
tertainment ff;r quite a number of
years in the movies. His film career
dates hack to those successful l'ght
comedies, such as "Twenty-Three anil
a Half Hours' Leave," "Mary's An
kle" and others. A little later lie
went in for farce and lifcht comedy,
such as "The Hottentot," "Going T'p."
"Never Say Die" and a long Ft ring of
catchy pictures.
More recently he appeared in "L t
it Rain" and "Soft Cushions" f.r
Paramount, and still under the Para
mount banner will film two pictures
this year, the first of which is "The
Carnation Kid." The new picture
goes mote into the dramatic side than
tb comedy for it contains all the
elements of a melodramatic story,
with thrills, a lil tie ' romance, and
lots of fighting of one kind and another.
I of plowing was increased from four to
seven inches. Plowing deeper than
seven inches is considered imprae
itical, however, when the greater l:i

Omaha Man is
Shot by Friend
Near Here Sunday
Omaha Resident Claims to Have Been
Accidently Shot While Motoring
South of This City.
! From Tuesday's Dal'v
i A shooting affray that occurred in
. this community Sunday night but
was not reported to the authorities
or local surgeons, seems to have de
veloped at Omaha, the dwelling place
of the victim of the supposed acciden
tal shooting.
The first learned of the affair was
on Monday morning when friends
brought W. T. Ross, 39, to the St.
Joseph hospital at Omaha and it was
found that he was suffering from
the effect of gunshot wounds in his
left shoulder and arm.
i The story told by Ross is to the
effect that he had gone motoring
'with a friend that he knows only by
' the name of "Joe" and they had
spent the day in viewing the sights
along the Platte and Missouri rivers
in the vicinity of Plattsmouth and
on south of this city. They had two
shotguns in the car and before they
started home late Sunday night they
had stopped the car and gotten the
guns out to unload them. While
"Joe" was unloading his gun, so Ross
states, it unexpectedly discharged,
the full load striking Ross.
When the accident occurred Ross
states the friend became excited and
instead of stopping in Plattsmouth.
for assistance or going to any of the
hospitals he had taken him on home.
jThe wife after a vain endeavor to
j staunch the flow of blood called
friends and the man was taken to
the hospital. Ross claims that he was
so shocked by the accident that he
failed to realize just how badly he
had been injured.
j The Omaha police are looking for
"Joe" to inquire further into the af
fair.

furniphed by County Agent
Ten Cents Bonus On Hogs.
Tottooing hogs is not a hard thing
to do. Lamp black and oil mixed half
and half will mark the hogs if they
are hit properly. A job worth doing
should be well done.
The amount of bonus received in
Cass county since the county has
been accredited is probably $2(,0iK.
Re sure you hit the hogs a good
slap with your tatoo and have the
instrument so it -will hit on all points
at the same time.
Early Plowing Best.
Most eastern farmers get their
highest yields from early plowing.
Tests at the Nebraska Experiment
Station bear out this practice. Early
plowing produced 12 per cent more
grain then late plowing.
When weather and soil conditions
prevented early plowing, disking the
land first and then plowing it was
found to be the next best practice.
It increased the yield seven per cent
over later plowing.
Tests show that there was an in
crease in yield of grain as the depth

Big Hitches.
Pig Team Hitches which O. O.
Waggener of the Agriculture College
extension service will demonstrate
will be near Mynard. Neb. In three
years experience in almost every
county of the state, Mr. Waggener
has never had an accident, nor does
he knpw of a farmer who has e ver
had a runaway or any other trouble
v.ith a big team hitch,
j The demonstration is not to be a
wild horse fjreaking stunt. It will be,
however, a real test of horsemenship.
Very few farnters have even eight
! horses that are well broken with
good dispositions. There will be
some stubborn ones, some orrery
ones, possible a balky or lazy one,
and generally a wild one or two i'i
every string.
The big team hitch with its tie-in
and buck-back system makes it im
possible for any horse to do anything
else but work. Within a few minutes
after the first move is made all the
horses will he working away like
the best two horse team.
In Mr. Waggener's outfit which
he hauls in a small truck will h"
hitches for teams of fi i m three to
fourteen horses. Farmers who attend
the meeting can look over all these
sets of eveners and doubletrees and
copy any of them at home. Time
will not permit the demonstration of
them all and if someone wants a
particular hitch, he should speak up
early in the meeting.
