The sum paid in wages represents SO per cent of the total cost of $75,000,000 for the ships, the report stated. New tonnage on order, or about to be ordered, is sufficient to keep the yards active until the end of 10 34, it continued, stressing that this i3 in sharp contrast to conditions abroad, where the reduced amount of construction has caused unemploy ment in the shipbuilding centers. While the report was compiled to refute rumors indicating a cessation in activity in American yards, it served the double purpose of show ing the number of men who have been given work on new maritime construction subsequent to the pass ing of the Jones-White Marine Act, to which the council of shipbuilders attributes the new era in American shipping. The liberal loan provisions of the act and the mail contracts available under it have given an impetus to shipbuilding which will soon provide the United States with a merchant marine comparable with those of other powers. Contracts exceeding $140,000,000 in value for the construction of new merchant ships have been executed, the report stated, and with addition al orders totaling $135,000,000 will mean an expenditure of $275,000, 000 during a five-year period ending In 1935. Of the total cost of a vessel, 40 per cent is expended in the yard for labor, an analysis showed; 40 per cent more is in the procurement of materials. 10 per cent for the coat of these materials and the remaining 10 per cent for transportation, in r.urance and taxes. 3 1 Weyrich & Hadraba Plattsmouth, Nebr. AUTHORIZED DEALERS FOR Master Hog Tonic AND Master Remedies n Farmers Orga nize to Protect from Thieves Resident of Near Nehawka Flan Move for Protection Against Stealing- Stock and Fruit For many years residents of the country districts have suffered a great deal from the ravages of par ties of people in trucks and cars who come from Omaha to the country for the. purpose of securing walnuts, grapes, apples or other natural prod ucts that are found on the farms and which the visitors feel free to appropriate whether the farm owner is willing or not. Not only have the farmers suffer ed from the loss of the walnuts and grapes but hunting parties have shot, mained and injured hogs and chickens and other stock and have been known to carry the trophies of the hunt away with them to the loss and anger of the owner. The farmers north of Nehawka have grown tired of these invasions and decided to take some definite steps to see that future visitations are checked. The farmers are not of a warlike disposition and when the prcper kind of people visit their plates are not opposed to allowing them reasonable liberties if they are asked about it, but do not favor the visitors coming in and helping them selves as they have frequently in the past. A meeting was held Sunday and an organization or some tnirty-nve of r.he farmers formed from the Ne hawka neighborhood and steps taken to act in conjunction with the office of the county sheriff In checking the thieving and destruction of property. As the county officers are largely en- paged on Sunday in rushing from one auto wreck to another to in vestigate, and cannot cover so wide an area as they might wish, the organization of the farmers propose o have a special constable appointed who can patrol the highways on Sun day and check up any depredations. arrest the parties and check the prac- ice of invasion on the country side. Most of the depredations are com mitted on Sunday and a close check will be kept in the future on the residents from the cities who come out to enrich their larders at the ex pense of the farmer.

S. Bare, Extension Entomologist of Lincoln, who has been In charge of observation sta tion at Weeping Water. . The few flies that are yet to emerge will no doubt be out before wheat that is sown now is up. Cass county has been one of the last counties to announce the date This is due to the cool, dry weather the last month. Rooters Day. October 17th is the Annual Root ers Day at the Agricultural College i at Lincoln. Three experimental tests with hogs will be of great interest. One of them deals with feeding wheat instead of corn, another with the age and size at which it is most profit able to market hogh, and the other is a high protein feed comparison Over 200 head of pigs are in the ex perimental tests, making the tests among the most extensive ever con ducted at the college. 4-H Beef Pleases Buyers. Not a kick in $40,000 worth of baby beef is the record made by 4-H club members and their baby beeves at the Nebraska State fair. Without exception, the buyers of the beef were pleased with the carcasses. Several of them said they wished they had bought more. One packing company filled only two-thirds of their orders on the day of the auction sale. Sev eral companies shipped all of the car casses out as soon as they were grad ed. More than fifty per cent of the carcasses graded choice to prime. Only two were bruised and those not seriously enough to change the grade. Simple Way to Mix Feed. One of the simplest ways to pur chase and mix the high protein con centrates of a good poultry ration would be to buy and mix the protein feed or concentrates and then add it to the grain. One hundred pounds of alfalfa meal, 250 pounds of meat scraps, 50 pounds of dried skim-milk or dried buttermilk and 20 pounds of salt may be mixed together. This amount will balance 800 pour.ds of yellow corn meal, 400 poucds of ground wheat, 200 pounds of bran, and 200 pounds of pulver ized oats or barley to make a ton of laying mash for hens. Hens getting this mash in a self feeder should be given from 8 to 10 pounds of whole wheat per 100 hens per day. Most people like to scatter the whole wheat in a straw or other litter, which is a good practice pro vided the litter is clean. Wheat Feeding Experiments. Chancellor E. A. Burnett of the University of Nebraska had charge of the first Nebraska experimental work in feeding wheat to cattle. A test was run in the winter of 1901-02 and reported in station bulletin No. 75. The bulletin has been out of print for several years but was recently re vised! as Animal Husbandry Depart ment. Circular No. 166. In the first half of the test 29 years ago. Lot 1 and Lot 3, receiv ed a grain ration of 80 per cent wheat and 20 per cent bran. Lot 2 and Lot received 80 per cent of corn and 20 per cent bran. All lots received al falfa hay for roughness. In the sec ond part of the test all four lots re ceived 70 per cent wheat, 15 per cent oil meal and 15 per cent corn as their grain ration. Roughness was made up of one half alfalfa hay, one fourth prairie hay and one fourth wheat straw. Conclusion No. 4 in the revised circular states, "This experiment in dicated the feeding value of wheat for cattle was 5 per cent greater than that of corn." Another test on the feeding of wheat to cattle is under way at the present time at the Nebraska experi ment station. Two lots of three year old steers are being fed for 65 days. They will be shipped to the govern ment experimental station at Belts ville. Md. for slaughter and carcass study. Representative carcasses will be exhibited at the International Livestock Show at Chicago in De cember. One lot of the steers is get ting shelled corn and alfalfa hay, the other lot, two-thirrds ground shelled corn and one-third ground wheat and alfalfa hay. The steers weighed about 1200 when started on test and came from the government livestock range at Miles City. Montana. The two lots of steers will be one of the at tractions at Rooters Day, the annual hog feeders program, October 17th. D. D. Wainscott, Cass County Exten sion Agent; Jessie H. Baldwin, Ass't.

After the reading of the minutes by the secretary, Mrs. John Vallery, th--treasurer reported a fund of $40.62. The chairman of the house committee, C. C. Barnard, reported the need for a vestibule over the steps leading down into the hall. Suggestions for raising funds for this purpose were given and it was decided to hold a Chicken-pie supper with a program either during or after the supper. The president called upon Rev. Mc Kdvie, the new United Brethern minister, to make a few remarks Which he did very pleasantly and humorously. The remainder of the meeting was presided over by Mrs. E. H. Spangler, chairman of the "east-side" program committee. The music for the evening was furnished by Cecil and James Comstock of Plattsmouth. They gave a stirring inarch as a piano duet, two trumpet solos by James accompanied by Cecil and a piano solo, "The Evening Star" by Cecil. These two young musicians show much promise and ability and their music was highly appreciated by the Mynard folks and their guests. The scholars of District No. 3 direct ed by their teacher, Miss Frances Livingston, put on a dramatization of the story of "The Little Red Hen." The children filled their parts well and the costumes were very good. and it was enjoyed by both the little and big folks. Miss Helene Perry gave a couple of humorous readings in her usual finished manner. Last but not least came "The Fashion Show," contrasting modern stvles with those of years ago. While Mrs. Roy Cole played appropriate music the models paraded before the audi ence, two at a time, one modern dress, and one old style. The titles were read by Mrs. Spangler. College Girls.

The "kitchen" and "table" com mittees held a meeting after the crowd had dispersed and decided to have the supper neiff Prtday even ing. Also the cooks demanded some permanent means of cooking as they were "tired of borrowing stoves." 5he club haa gotten its equipment a little at a time as one buys for a home, and now, the ladies decided, was the time to buy a cooking s'.ove and so it will be done.

From Monday's Dally This morning at 3:30 the frame building at Avoca occupied by the S. M. Mapel cream and produce sta tion was discovered to be on fire and soon the structure was a roaring furnace and burned to the ground. all of the contents being lost in the burned building. The town has no fire protection beyond the bucket brigade which was formed by the citizens and who did splendid work in responding and due to their efforts the fire was held confined to the one building altho the heat charred a part of the sides of the buildings of William Morley and A. J. Johnson, the blaze was pre vented from making further inroads on the structures. The loss of the building and con tents is estimated will be in the neighborhood of $2,500 and is the most serious fire that has occurred in that place in a number of years. CARS HAVE SMASHUP Sunday morning a small auto wreck occurred near the Rock Creek filling station east of Murray when the car of Roy Gerking, well known farmer of that section, collided with a car driven by a tourist named Sharp. Mr. Gerking was turning off near the station and his signal was not apparently seen by Mr. Sharp who was coming south on No. 75 and the result was the cars crashed,. both being damaged up to a greater or less extent. Mr. Gerking suffered an injury to one of his ribs that has proven very painful. IAAAAAAAAa'aAA LiAA. . Al-A.k A A AA aa aa. AA AA AA A-A- aA aSa. AA aS. A.A AAS. ASAft.
