Oh. friends of ours, be brave and know that never will she suffer so. Together we have prayed that she might longer stay with her caress to fill the day with happiness. But, oh, what bargain cculd there be; what pledge or promise could we make to save ourselves the present ache and keep her here? Ten years? Ah, no! 'Twould hurt us then to let her go. There is no time that we could set for parting. We who must remain are never ready for such pain. Ever our prayer would be: "Not yet. not yet, clear God, another day with us let our beloved stay." We must believe when falls the blow that wisely God has willed it so. God has her in his keeping now. Angels attend her through the day. Never her feet shall go astray. Never shall anguish line her brow. Never a bitter thought shall find harsh lodgment in her gentle mind. Safe from the hurt of time and pain. J. A. KLEIN. Burial Vaults.

Seme Iilountanis of the Eible VI GILBOA The .tragic end of the first king of Israel stands as a' warning for all time to those who do not fully sur render to God. This man. Saul, who was chosen of God. annointed by Samuel, a giant in stature4, had a good beginning. God was on his side. Samuel was for him and the perple adored him. But these con ditions soon changed. After a reign of two years, we find him a changed man. In his first war with the Philistines he showed his impatience by not waiting for Samuel to inquire of the Lord, but assumed the office of priest and offered a burnt sacrifice. By this time Samuel came and saw what had happened. For this act. sentence was pronounced against Saul by Samuel in these words: "Thou hast done foolishly, thou hast not kept the Lord's command. . . . Thy kingdom shall not continue, the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart." From thi--. time on he grew worse ns the years pns:;ed. He became mo rose, suspicions, distrustful, melan choly, vnsil:uirg, unstable possess ed of an evil spirit. God-forsaken, he sought (cirni! from a witch. He broke out in wild, ungovernable acts cf zeal and stir ?rstit ion, and then he came more than ever a prey to his own savage disposition. But his cup was full, the end drew near. After 40 years of rule and misrule, his r.rrh enemies, the Philistines' came prepared for r decisive war. Saul rner them in the pL-'ius of Jesreel, ;'!icl the battle vent against Saul, lie and hi three sons and his men with him. fled to Mount Gilhoa, but were overtaken and slain. Saul, mor tally wounded, did not want to fall into the hands cf his enemies, so he chose another way out and commit ted suicide. David's lament over the death of his father-in-law Saul was heart rending: "Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew neither let there be rain upon you, nor fields of of lering. for there the shield of the nighty is vilely cast and nay, the shield "of Saul, as tboutrh he had not been annointed "with oil." Disobedience was the cause of Saul's fall. Every one that will re ject God's mercy will find his Gilboa, the end in dispair a tragedy. L. NEITZEL.

AE1TCS.T.IAL KHZ In the spring dairymen are often rit:icyed by abnormal milk. Milk that is flavored from weeds or wild onion grass. In such cases it is ad visable to bring the cows in from the narture. three or four hours before j milking. Weed flavors tend to disap pear with age and are usually notice able in fresh drawn milk. Often these objectionable weeds are destroyed by allowing the grass to grow and crowd them out, so it is sometimes neces sary to kep the cows off the early grass until it has had a chance to grow. Do not forget 'salt' and 'water play a necessary part in the milk production. They are essential both winter and summer. One ounce or more of salt a day is not too much for a cow. Have pure, fresh water at hand all the time. The dairy cows welcome green pas tures as a change from winter's dry fodder, and pasture is the natural feed for dairy cows. If this Is to be the only source of food supply, each cow should have from one to four acres on which to graze as they would require 150 lbs. of grass daily. However, if the milk production is to be kept high for later on in the sum mer, grass and grain should be com ibned as feed. If no grain is fed the cows lose weight and consequently the large milk supply is not kept up. All the way from three to eight pounds of grain should be fed per day or in accordance with the amount cf milk given. Cows giving the most milk require the most feed in con junction with the grass. The milkers' motto should be: Quickness, quietness, thoroughness. Anything that affects the flow of milk affects the butterfat content of the milk.

CANNED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES GAINING FAME T 1 That part of the great outside world that enjoys the delights of the table is gaining a new idea of the quality of Nebraska soil and sunshine from the labels on cans containing Nebraska commercially packed fruits and vegetables. These containers of quality and goodness may be found in many states, especially those of the western seaboard. And they are carrying not only foods of high nu trition value, but messages that speak convincingly of the unfolding versatility of Nebraska soil. Two canning plants of eastern Ne braska are operated on a large scale. The Blair Canning Company has a large plant devoted exclusively to canning one product, sweet corn. A plant valued at $150,000 is a place of immense activity during the can ning season when a force of about 150, receiving $15,000 to $20,000 in wages, "puts up" in a modern plant between 90,000 to 100,000 cases of twenty-four cans each of sweet corn. Due to the shortness of the operating First Time Ever .o Bring Record ing Band Here Tracy-Brown's Now Bisen to Nation al Fame, to Play for Dance En Eoute to Lake Joh. Tracv-Brown's orchestra the de luxe band that went to Pittsburgh IS months ago, from Omaha, and has climbed to a place of fame in the musical world as well as becoming an exclusive Columbia recording band Is coming to Plattsmouth. This announcement is made by the American Lesrion, who have booked them on an off-night while en route to open their summer playing engage ment at the Casino, Lake Okoboji, which is Iowa's most fashionable ball-room. Their date here is Tues day night. May Cth. This is the orchestra that played for the opening dance in the Legion building nearly three years ago, and which was attended by more than 300 couples. At that time an outstanding dance band of the middle west, they drew dancers here from a great dis tance. Since then they have climbed to higher rungs in the ladder of suc cess, being now an exclusive Colum bia recording orchestra with a record of IS months in the ball room of the largest hotel in Pittsburgh. Three years ago, this famous or chestra then known as Tracy-Brown's Oklahomans played the Casino season at Okoboji, first coming to Omaha at the close of the lake season, and for more than a year were popular favorites in the Nebraska metrop olis. Then came the big opportunity that took them east. First they made a special recording trip to Chicago to play two numbers. These brought demands for more and offers of sea son's engagements at fashionable ho tels and watering places throughout the east and resulted in their leaving Omaha and locating in Pittsburgh, where they expect to return at the close of the Iowa lake season. They are playing less than half a dozen engagements while enroute to the Iowa lakes, and but for the fact that they played here to such a big crowd in the fall of 1927, it would have been impossible to get them here at all, as their dates include such towns as Lincoln, Sioux City, Sioux Falls and Mitchell, S. Dak. The Legion announces that the ad mission charge to this dance will be $1.25 per couple, 25c for all extra ladies and 50c for spectators. E2 - EES.- .- :85E 223 Is t. , -H- . " - ' - .v products include sweet corn, toma toes, pumpkin, peas, beans, kraut, hominy pork and beans, spinach and j cherries. This company has plants , at Nebraska City Nebr., and Hum- j burg. Iowa. The vegetable and fruits ' for the pack are grown in the fer tile soil of the Missouri river bot tom. During the summer or vegetable packing season the company employs 450 people and during the winter canning season the force is about 85 people. The acreage required to grow the fruits and vegetables for the can ning operations is immense, divided as follows: sweet corn 4500 acres, tomatoes 250 acres, pumpkin 00 acres, spinach 75 acres, green beans 25 acres. A comparatively new product is red sour pitted cherries which is proving a popular canned fruit. Thirty thousand young cherry trees of the Montmorency and Richmond varieties are supplying the cherries and more trees are being set out this spring. It is seldom that rpportunity comes to bring a recording band of this calibre to towns the size of Platts mouth and the opportunity to hear them is a real musical treat whether one dances or not. BEINGS IN COYOTES From Saturday's Dafiy J. Herman Rauth of near Manley was here today nrd brought in six coyote scalps which were turned over to County Clerk George R. Sayles and the bounty offered by t! e state and county was paid to Mr. Rauth. This is the third collection of scalps to be received here in the past two days. Special Prices on Chicks!

The factory operates day and night because corn matures so rapidly it must be packed at Just the proper time to conserve its goodness. The cans packed in the Blair plant are purchased by jobbers all over the western half of the United States and many of them find their way to tables in Alaska. Hawaiian Islands. Philippine Islands, and the mess halls of the United States army and navy in the four corners of the world. The waste product of this plant is not wasted at all but husks, cobs and trimmed corn are shredded and cured in a huge silo pit to be sol 1 to fatten cattle and hogs in the vi cinity of Blair. The canning company furnishes its own specially selected seed to con tract growers, who get from four to five and a half tons of sweet corn to the acre, yielding gross returns cf .$40 to $55 per acre. The Otoe Food Products company produces annually about 15,000.000 cans of vegetables and fruits.
