CAP WELL Plattsmouth POSSIBLE GOOD IN DROUTH Chicago Crop havoc wrought by unusual drouth may be a "blessing in disguise for many American farm ers and a stimulant to business in general," Bernard V. Snow, of Bart lett Frazier & Co. crop experts, said Monday. Mr. Snow, former assistant secretary of the United States de partment of agriculture, voiced the opinion that "nature appears to bo settling the farm rehef problem where the federal government, with S500 000,000 at its command, ha.s been'unable to do so." The tremendous loss of the corn crop during July, a loss which is SSBEEEtEKEE Ticket mi 5 3; 1 mi 11 HI 'Si li 2 still continuing, is likely to prove a blessing in disguise," amplified Mr. Snow, "the federal "government has been trying to solve the disposal of surplus farm production by stim ulating exports, increasing domestic use and lifting the surplus off the market. "Latterly these Jn charge of the work have been urging that farm era radically reduce the acreage un der production. It now looks as if the losses in corn will accomplish the needed readjustment between supply and demand of all products and incidentally emphasize the fact that acreage is not the only factor to be reckoned with in determining LLOT l For State Representativ Vote for ONE PAUL SCHEWE County Vote for ONE For County Clerk Vote for ONE For Clerk of the District Court CU MICHAEL HILD Plattsmouth Vote for ONE For Register of Deeds ED LILLIAN G.

Mr. Snow poinfted out that the los3 of a huge proportion of the corn crop has created a heavy demand for the surplus of small grains.

The "age of dis cretion," as fixed under Colorado statutes, will prevent the arrest or prosecution of Gloria Utter, aged 5, who shot to death her 6-year-old playmate, Rose May Etheridge, inl an aiigument over, a rag doll. Authorities said the infant assassin has no grasp of the abstractions of right and wrong. After threatening her playmate with death, Gloria went to the garage of her home, obtained a rifle and flred at Rose May's back. Church Holdings in Buildings Grow ing Very Rapidly New Buildings Arranged for in the Past Year Reaches Figures of $68,000,000 Chicago Xew religious and mem orial buildings, on the basis of con tracts awarded, cost more than $68, 000,000 during the first six months of this year. This total is not surprising, com ments the heating research bureau of the C. A. Dunham company, when the magnitude of "religious acivity in America is considered. "Today church edifices alone are reported as having an aggregate value of $3,S00,000,000," it is stated There are 232,000 churches, with 44,3S0,000 members over thirteen years old, a recent study discloses. and it is declared that increasin population and the growing church membership enlivens the demand for new and modern structures. New building is being supplement ed, it is stated, by remodeling and modernizing this summer. Churches, unlike the old days, are for the most part run upon business lines as to operating expenses. Fol lowing the lead of commercial and are declared to be effecting new eco nomies. These economies extend to heating plants which are being changed over to differential vacuum systems that soon save the cost of such change through fuel economies There are now 21,000,000 Sunday private structures of all classes they school pupils, about four million less than the pupils in all the public ele mentary and secondary schools, the bureau points cut in explaining the increase in church buildings. WAGNER'S SON SUCCUMBS Bayreuth, Germanp Seigfried Wagner, son of the famous composer, Richard Wagner, died here Monday from a heart attack at the age of sixty-one. His death deeply shocked the large international audiences at tending the annual festival of Wag ner music and plunged the city into mourning. At his deathbed were only his wife and the chief physician of the local hospital. Within a few hours after the news became known, most of the buildings in the city were draped with black. Funeral services will be held in the hospital at noon on Tuesday for the Wagner family. In the Wagnerian tradition, the body will be buried in the Bayreuth cemetery after a public funeral by the municipality. The fes tival performances will continue as scheduled, despite the death of the man to whose enterprise they are : chiefly due. MRS. HOOVER TO OFFICIATE Washington A cooling splash from the hand of Mrs. Herbert Hoover will christen in chilly spring water the merchant marine ship Excalibur Tuesday at Camden. At exactly the turn of the tide, which chances to be at 11 a. in., Mrs. Hoover will break the bottle which will send the Excalibur into the sea. The Excali bur is a passenger-cargo vessel of S.000 gross tons and will ply between New York City and Alexandria, Egppt. Its length is 450 feet. It has a sea speed of fourteen knots, enabling it to make the voyage to Egypt in twelve to fourteen days. Its maxi mum passenger capacity is 150 per sons. So far as the owners of the Excalibur, have been able to ascer tain, it is the first peace-time mer chant ship ever to have a president's wife as its sponsor.

Chicago, Aug. 4 The use of wheat for live stock feeding was uiged to day by Chairman Legge of the farm board as a means of disposing of the large visible supply of wheat which has been a depressing influence on the market. In a radio address prepared for de livery over WLS, the chairman said, "The price of wheat has reached a point where we can and should con sider wheat from the Standpoint of its value as a feed for live stock." "The present severe drouth has reached a point," he said, "where shortage of feed and forage threat ens serious losses to live stock grow ers and dairymen over a wide area. The hay crop is the smallest ve have had in years. In some sections the corn crop will be reduced 40 or 50 per cent or even more. "Hay stocks are being fed out, and the prospect for sufficient winter supplies of feed is not encouraging. Under these condition there is danger that farmers will dispose of beef cat tle and dairy animals at a sacrifice. If this movement i3 not headed off it may mean that a large number of animals in poor condition will be forced onto the live stock markets, and still lower levels cf live stock prices.' The chairman said there was ab- soutely no relief possible through dis posal of the surplus abroad at prices below the domestic level. Many of the most important wheat importing countries now have legislation, he explained, that could be applied to prevent or penalize any such action. He added the only way to perman ently improve the wheat price situa tion was to reduce annual wheat pro duction. World-Herald. Scratching of Ballots Sansied is Attorney General Declares Affiliation Cannot Be Changed Until November. Lincoln, Aug. 4. Nebraska voters may "scratch" the ballot all tney desire in November but at the pri maries Aug. 12, party lines must be drawn tightly. Attorney General Sor- ensen held Monday. He was answering a query from out-state regarding the legality of permitting voters to switch their affi liation on primary election day and demand a ballot of the opposite party. Quotes State Law. This Sorensen held, is not permis sable under the election laws which say, in part: "In case any party applying docs not desire to state his party affiliation, he shall not be re quired to do so nor shall hi3 failure to do so act as a bar to his registration for the purpose of voting at any election other than a primary election, but shall debar him from voting at any primary election." On that the attorney general add ed: "We fail to find that the lan guage of the above law has nsver been expressly repealed or modi fied. It has been suggested to us that the above language is in consistent with other sections. However, we decline to so con strue them for the reason that repeals by implications are not favored by the courts." Omaha-Bee-News. Don't borrow your neighbor's Daily Journal.

Trunkenbolz, marshal of Green wood. Ntrbrnfka, with an assault up on W. M. Rouse with intent to do him great bodily barm, was filed on the 14th day of June before V. E. ?Cewkirk, who it is alleged by Mr. 'runkenbolz's representative, waa '..'tending to act as a justice of the peace. This complaint has been dis missed by the complainant, V. M. Rouse.- It was evidently filed with the intention of doing Mr. Trunkenbolz harm in his campaign for sheriff on the Democartie ticket in the pri mary to be held August 12th. This case never should have been filet . and this paper does not desire even in its news items to do anyone any injustice, and what was published as news in this paper should not in jure Mr. Trunkenbolz in his candi dacy. Likewise, on the 17th of June there was a complaint filed by the pame V. M. Rouse before the same Justice AV. E. Newkirk, against Mr. Trunkenbolz to place him under a bond to keep the peace. This like wise was reported in the news col umns of this paper at the time, and it likewise has been dismissed by XV. M. "Rouse. This complaint too should never have been filed, and was doubtless filed for the purpose of injuring Mr. Trunkenbolz in his campaign. We ask tlwit all readers of this paper extend to Mr. Trunkenbolz the: same fair treatment that they would want under like circumstances. Mr. Trunkenbolz has for some time past served as marshal of Green wood, in this county, and he has the support and best wishes of the great majority of the better class of citi zens of his home town, and if be were nominated and elected sheriff of Cass county, the people of the county should know that he would give them his very best service as such officer. This article is published for the purpose of fairness, and to do justice by Mr. George II. Trunkenbolz. W. C. T. U. MEETS Despite the extreme heat Monday a very pleasing number of the mem bers of the W. C. T. U. gathered at the home of Mrs. E. II. Wescott on high school hill to enjoy the fine program that had been prepared for them. The program was opened by two piano duets, "Civic Pride" and "First Regiment," given by Cecil and James Comstock, two very much enjoyed selections. The program featured a number of very interesting papers which were given by the ladies and cover- ng different phases of the work of the XV. C. T. U. in their fields of labor, Mrs. Charles Troop presented as her offering, "Temperance. Men Do Not Keep Blue Monday," iirs. XV. O. Troop of Nehawka wp.s heard n a very pleasing discussion of "Whv Do Men Drink," M!ss Elizabeth Spangler in "Who Goes to Jail" and Mrs. Edna Meisinger in "Clock Hands Betray Stills." After the conclusion of the pro gram of tho afternoon the ladies were served very dainty and de licious refreshments by the hostess that added a great deal to the en- Ijoyment of the day.
