EE ck Who 1 a Hirz Robbery Proves Work of Very Young Lad Diamond King, Only Article Taken From Home, Is Eestored on Immunity Agreement From Wednesday's Dally The robbery of the Phillip Hirz home in the south part of the city on Monday night, was solved last night when on the promise of im munity, the diamond ring belonging to Mrs. Hirz, the only article taken from the house, was restored to the owner. The police officers and sheriff had been working on the case, their sus picions being that the job was the work of local parties and which was correct, as the l?ter developments showed. Last evening shortly be fore 6 o'clock, Mr. Hirz, who was at his meat market on Main street, was approached by a man who had with him a ring which proved to be that missing from the home of the Hirz family. The man having the ring secured a promise of immunity for the culprit taking the ring on the agreement to turn over the ring, then producing the robber, a boy of tender years. The boy had taken the ring and was trying to dispose of it when the gentleman in the case, having read of the robbery in the Journal, decided to see just what it was all about and accordingly took the ring to the Hirz market and where it was identified. The discovery of the identification of the robber was a very great sur prise to Mr. Hirz who had imagined that the robber was some veteran prowler and he was very thankful that he had not been able to secure the gun that he had planned to use on the robber after he discovered that it was but a young boy. The boy claimed that he had stolen the ring shortly after 6 o'clock in the early evening and had then returned later to see what else he could find around the house and in which he was engaged when Mr. and Mrs. Hirz returned home and cut short his explorations. Under the pledge given to the man and to the boy committing the rob bery, Mr. Hirz declined to give the name of the boy that committed the robbery. County officials stated that in cases of this nature immunity could not be promised, as a crime had been committed and that the growing trend of youthful crime the country over demanded that some efforts be made, to check the waywardness of the young. In view of the position held by the county attorney the lad will probably have to be brought be fore the Juvenile court which is pre sided over by Judge James T. Begley, and given some appreciation of the serious nature of the trouble that he is in. The officers feel that absolute ignoring of the matter would be a bad example for others in the com munity and that some steps of pun ishment must be taken. NEBRASKA SOIL IS BATED HIGH EiiiiiiuiinKiiiiiiiiiiiiian Lincoln, May 13. Nebraska's soil. rich in its productive qualities, pre sents one of the most interesting studies in diversified mixtures in the United States. This conclusion, the word of Dr. C. Nikiforoff, noted scientist, is brought back to Nebraska by Pro fesors E. B. Engle and E. A. Neisch midt, both of the university, who accompanied the former on an ex tended soil investigation. The state, these experts found. with its variety of climatic and drainage conditions, is most fertile for any type of soil study or analysis. Though not generally recognized, they add, the state has made greater progress in the study and mapping of soils than any other, 65 counties having completed surveys and de tail maps. Scientific study of the earth here. the professors agree, has been a vital factor in increasing the productivity of the area nearly every year. Conclusions gained through a careful analysis, they say, are passed on to the farmer, and as a result he need not be in quandry when it comes time to plant in loess, loam, clay or sand, for his state research department is ready to tell him what thrives on each. MANY IOWA PEOPLE COMING The committee in charge of the bridge opening on Friday have re ceived the assurances that there will be present at the opening, large dele gations of Iowa residents as accept ances have been received from Red Oak, Glenwood, Malvern, Shenan doah and other of the smaller cities that they are sending large num bers to the ceremonies and to join in the gala occasion that marks the opportunity of the uniting of the two states through the span over the Missouri river at this place.

Project club members have set aside Friday. May 23rd for a good time day. Many meetings have been held during the year but the time has always been devoted to work.

Make plans now to attend the county mix er at Congregational church, Friday, May 23rd at 11:00 a. m. Control Measures for Common Insects White grubs, current worms, ants. and pine leaf scale have all been re ported to the agricultural college as doing damage in Nebraska this spring. White grubs are cutting ofT the roots of strawberry plants. The only thing that can be done is to transplant the bed to new ground during a rainy spell this spring or next fall. One ounce of fresh white hellebore per gallon' of water makes a good spray for currant worms. One ounce of hellebore and four ounces of flour make a good mixture to be dusted in stead of sprayed on the plants. Two per cent spray of a light oil such as Volck will control pine leaf scale on pines and spruces. Lawn and gar den ants can be killed by pouring a tablespoon of carbon bisulphide in the ant nest and covering it to hold the gas in the nest. Carbon bisul phide is a highly explosive liquid. House ants that bother greasy foods can be controlled by one part of emetic and twenty parts of lard. House ants that eat sweet foods can be controlled by one part of tartar emetic to eight parts of syrup. This mixture is exposed on a sponge in a perforated can. April D. H. I. A. Report. A. E. Todd, of Ashland, had the highest producing cow in the associa tion for the month of April. This cow produced 1470 lbs. of milk and 64.7 lbs butter fat. Mr. Todd also had the highest producing herd in the group of 5 to 15 cows. This herd of 8 cows averaged 946 lbs. of milk and 32.3 lbs. of fat. In the group of 16 or more cows R. B. Stone of Nehawka leads the list with a herd of 19 Guernseys that av eraged 770 lbs. of milk and 33.7 lbs. fat. There are 254 cows in the associa tion; 35 of these were dry during the month and the average production of the 222 in milk was 666 lbs. and 26.8 lbs. In fat. Big Team Hitch. This Is the week the miniature big team hitch is on exhibit at the farm bureau office. This is to take the place of a field demonstration so drop in and see it. Hang the Hoe on the Fence Gardners who have straw available can hang their hoe on the fence and save their backaches by covering their garden with straw as soon as the prnnnrt has warmed up well. Mulching with straw is particularly profitable on potatoes, tomatoes, pep pers, egg plants, and other similar plants. It will probably not increase the yield of corn and most root crops, but it will save cultivation and weed pulling. Loose straw should be spread about six inches deep and worked in well around the plants. Straw that is free of grain makes a better mulch than straw with grain in it. Tests at the Agricultural College comparing straw with paper mulch ing and with cultivation over a per iod of years indicate that straw will give as good results and is much cheaper and easier to use than paper, and that either mulch is better than cultivation. D. D. Wainscott, Co. Ext. Agent; Jessie H. Baldwin, Asst. Co. Ext. Agt. ASSESSORS MAKE RETURNS The first assessor of the county to complete and file his returns in the office of County Assessor W. H. Puis, has been Henry Snell, the assessor of Weeping Water city, who com pleted his work the past week, while he was closely pressed by L. G. Todd, the assessor of Liberty precinct, who also had his work caught up and placed in the hands of the county assessor. These are the first to re port and County Assessor Puis is looking for a great many to turn in their schedules the coming week. For the first time in two years B. F. Dill, the veteran assessor of South Bend precinct, has been displaced as the first assessor to report with his work all completed, as Mr. Dill has been enjoying this honor for the past few years.
