PLANT Cass County Farm Bureau Notes Judge Holmes, at 90, Hands Down Decision Veteran Jurist Declares That Air plane Is Not "Vehicle" Birthday Sunday. Washington, March 9. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who cele brated his ninetieth birthday yester day, continued his judicial activities today by handing down one of the three opinions delivered fay the sup reme court. The justice, who has been a mem ber of the court for 2S years, held that airplanes are not "vehicles" and therefore the theft of an air plane was not punishable under the national motor vehicle theft act. Must Ran on Ground. The question arose from the convic tion of William W. McBoyle of Ga lena. 111., for transporting a stolen airplane from Ottawa. 111., to Guy mon. Ok!a. Justice Holmes inter preted the word "reticle" as apply ing to something running on the ground Under the decision addition al legislation would be required to extend the act to airplanes. FYur cases to test the validity of the order by Secretary Wilbur to en force President Hoover's oil conser vation policy by refusing to permit prospecting for oil and gas on public lands were advanced for hearing on April 13.

The following suggestions arc taken word for word out of Nebraska Station circular 40, "A Manual for Hog Raisers" written by Prof. W. J. Loeffel, of the College of Agricul ture. "After the sow has farrowed, the pen has been cleaned, and fresh bed ding supplied, the pigs should be returned to the sow for feeding. No food need to ge given for 24 hours after farrowing, although the sow j should be provided with an abund ' ance of drinking water. On the sec jond day a light feed of bran or shorts may be fed. Gradually the heavier i feeds should be introduced into the j ration and the ration increased in 'amount. The milk flow of the sow is influenced by the mount of feed I consumed. The milk flow should be I stimulated by increasing the feed as l rapidly as the pigs c an handle the milk. Too rapid stimulation of the 1 milk flow usually results in indiges jtion in the pigs, followed by scours. (Considerable variation will he found in sows as in dairy cows, some prc iducing milk more readily than oth ers. The condition of the pigs is un I doubtedy the best index for feeding the sow. Provide all the feed the sow will consume without scourine the pigs. At the first 1 apeparance of 'scours, reduce the sow's feed and in i severe cases skip a feed entirely. A ; few handsful of bloodmeal fed to a sow is usually effective in stopping 'scours in her litter. "Scours arc usually caused by too iniuch feed, spoiled feed, or a sudden change of feed. Another type of scours is due to bacteria, and cor recting the ration will prove of lit -(tie benefit. "In most cases, about two weeks will be required to work a sow up to a full feed after farrowing.

Plant liberally of the vari- jous types from the tiny dwarfs so useful for edging, the French types with their buttons with beautiful I markings of brown and maroon on I orange and yellow grounds, the tall French singles for cutting, and the I African huge double quilled balls in lemon, golden, and orange yellow three feet or more tall as stately gar den subjects and for bouquets. A novelty hailed with delight by gardeners is offered this year in a tall African type which has been pro duced by the skilled plant breeders of California. This is the "All Dou ble Orange African." This is simi lar to the older Orange Queen in size and form but unlike the older types of double African mrigolds the seed produces 11 double pints. The older types produced a certain percentage of singles which were of little orna mental value and a few of them in a planting of the full double forms were always a disfigurement to the plant ing.

TESTIMONY IS COMPLETED LEADERSHIP TRAINING SCHOOL labor prices cars (using V lit W on all flat rate) 40 and sruarantee all work. I The Cass County Ministers and Laymens League takes great pleas nre in announcing that a Leadership Training School will be held in the county this spring. This will afford an unusual opportunity to those in terested in Sunday school and other religious work. Heretofore these schools have been confined almost entirely to the large cities such as Lincoln. Hastings, etc. The purpose of the school is to make us better and more capable workers in our churches, especially in the Sunday school. The school will be held beginning Friday evening May 1st. and will continue for five evenings, i Sunday afternoon. ) The school will be held in Mur dock which will give all in the west end of the county a splendid oppor tunity to attend. The school is sponsored by the Cass County Ministers and Laymens League; is under the auspices of the State Council of Religious Education, and is supervised by the International Council of Religious Education. Watch the papers for further in formation. (Next week: "Who's Who?" in the Cass County School of Leadership Training.) H. A. XOREXBERG.

Personality is an elusive tern, whether it is applied to a person or ia room, but it is extremely import ant element. We scy that a huma;: i being has personality meaning, an in all probability, that he or she has ! vivac ity, variety of appeal, and color ful interest. And so it is with a room. These same attributes of col or, variety and spirit give a room what we call personality, that most-to-he-desired essence that makes spot pleasantly in th memory of vis itors. Personality in a home is not a matter of mere money expenditure. It is rather someone's good taste, someone's charm and individually expressed in the decorations and fur nishings of that home. The creation of a charming home is usually a mat ter of some resourceful person mak ing a survey of a home, an inventorv of its good and bad points, and devis ing ways to emphasize the good points, minimize the bad ones and give life, warmth and character to each room. A smartly-dressed woman plans her costume as a whole and would not consider buying a hat. even though it was immensely becoming, unless it fit in with the rest of the ensemble. In the same way, it is im portant to plan exactly what you wish to accomplish in your home and plan each detail in its relation to the general scheme. Only in this way can you be sure that your home will represent a harmonious ensemble in stead of a number of odd. unrelated rooms. In making such an outline, certain points Bhould not be forgotten, such as the fact that rooms with cold or insufficient light should be decorated with warm, light-reflecting colors: that light colors, having a tendency to make a room look larger, should be given preference, especially in small rooms; that if there is much woodwork, or if it is unevenly dis tributed about the room, it is bet ter not to have too much contrast, in order to avoid a "patchy" effect. On the other hand, in this connec tion, contrasting colors have more interest when the woodwork is so arranged as to make a pleasant pat tern on the wall. Careful attention to these simple rules will add to rather than detract from the effectiveness of your plans. The furniture should also be in cluded in this survey. A good deal of it will fit in admirably just as it is. Some of it probably looks pretty unpromising. But. let me tell vou a secret, if you have not already guessed it most of it can be altered unbelievably by a coat of paint or a slip cover. A gay new dress for that shabby taupe upholstered chair, a brilliant table in that colorless space near the corner, and a general refur nishing of the other pieces and you can change the effect and mood of your room so that your best friend will think that you have spent a lot of money on new furniture, unless you are so proud of what you have done that you can't keep the secret. There is the guest room with its old oak bedroom suite. Why not paint the furniture some restful color that would bring out the soft colors in the draperies at the win dow? And that old chair in the at tic, if it were painted a bright color would be just the "occasional piece" to give your living room a personal ity. And wouldn't you be perfectly satisfied with your kitchen cabinet if it were some cheery instead of that dark wood? Have you ever thought what a striking addition it woulc" he to the sun room to paint that old wicker set a gay color. Think along Indianapolis Two alienists ap pointed by the court testified Tues day in the murder trial of Harold Herbert Schroeder, Mobile, Ala., that the defendant "unquestionably is of sound mind" and was sane at the time an unknown man's body was burned in Schroeder's car near here last May. All testimony in the case was com pleted and arguments will begin Wednesday morning. It was indi cated these would take all of the ses sions and that the court's instruc tions to the jury, which Judge Baker said would take about an hour, prob ably will not be given until Thursday. Debenture Plan W arrant ior of Farm Relief to Have a Place is Listed Among Subjects to Be Dis cussed at Progressive Confer ence Borah Chairman. RACKETEERS HIT KANSAS Topeka The racketeer has come to Kansas, says Roland Boynton, at torney general, who believes the state needs more than "an 1S6S police Bys tem to combat organized crime." In an address at a meeting of To peka teachers Tuesday night, Boyn ton said intoxicating liquor was be ing hauled into Kansas "under the protection of armed guards, the guards being furnished by wholesale liquor dealers in Kansas City. Mo." Kansas police workers, the attorney general asserted, lacked coordina tion. PUBLIUCTION whether the plants were single or double until they attained blooming size, there was no way of preventing the appearance of these types or transplanting double forms into their places. The new type is reasonably certain to provide a bed of all full doable types. After fttreful test and selection it is now set out with the state ment that the seedlings are 100 per cent double. This will be a welcome improvement. The tiny tngetes signata punila is a favorite edging plant, making a compact ferny little bush of delicate fragrance compared with the rank odor of the foliage of some of the taller types and covered with tiny single orange bloom all summer. Next jeome the dwarf French, compact lit j tie bushes covered with buttons of I varied coloring and then the tall French with fine stemmed blooms for cutting. The tall French and African are the cutting types. The others are for garden decoration. Marigolds flourish ' under almost any soil conditions. withstand drought fairly well, but require full sunshine to do their best.

Detroit A "voice from headquar ters" threatened over the telephone that Jerry Buckley would be "taken for the ride" if he continued his cru sade for the recall of Mayor Bowles, it was testified in the trial of Ted I Pizzino. Angelo Levicchi nd Joe Bommarito for the murder of the i radio political commentator last July I 23. The testimony was given by W Wright Hedge, manager of radio sta I tion WMBC, over which Buckley cariied on his radio campaigns against vice, for a "square deal" for the unemployed and against the Bow les administration during the latter weeks of the recall campaign. Gedge said the threat was telephoned to the station on July 18, and that he took the call. "This is tiie voice from headquar ters speaking." he quoted the uni dentified caller as saying. "Tell Buckley that if he talks about the recall tonight, he will be taken for a ride, and it will be a long one." Washington Strong indication that the export debenture faira re lief plan would have a prominent place in the progressive conference here Wednesday and Thursday was given with the selection of Senator Borah as chairman of the round table debate on agriculture. The five sen atorial sponsors of the conference, called to formulate a legislative pro gram for the next session of congress, mapped out a program at a meeting and appointed chairmen on the five subjects around which discussion will center. Although not a signer of the con ference call. Senator Borah attend ed to head the discussion on farm re lief. A leader in the effort during the last congress to limit tariff re vision to agriculture, Borah still is a firm believer in the debenture plan. He feels the farm board has been a failure and that the debenture, strick en from the tariff and farm market ing acts after President Hoover took a vigorous stand against it. remains one of the most important remedies. He may address the progressive con ference on the subject. Norris on Public Utilities. Senator Norris. chairman of the conference, will preside over the dis cussions on public utilities. He will make the address welcoming approx imately 125 persons expected. Senator Cutting. New Mexico, will have charge of discussions on "re turn to representative government;" Senator LaFollette, secretary of the conference, will head the round table on unemployment and industrial sta bilization. Senator Costigan, Colo rado, a former member of the tariff commission, will lead the tariff dis cussion. Five sessions are to be held, one each devoted to the five principal top ics of debate. Senator Wheeler. Montana, one of the five signers of the call, asked not to be assigned a chairmanship, but he undoubtedly will take part in the discussions. Fifty-five persons al ready have accepted invitations. The list includes many labor leadcs and college professors. State Journal.
