Soldiers Win from the Murray Red Sox Sunday Visitors frm Fert Crcok Win S tc 4 in a Whirlwind Finish of Hard Fcught Game. The Murray Red Sox who have been playing a great brand of base ball for the season, Sunday after noon struck a snag in the form of the Seventeenth Infantry baseball team from Fort Crook, the soldiers taking the Sox by the score of 9 to 4 in a whirlwind finish of the game after ihe Sox had led the big parade to the fifth inning when the Bcore was 4 to 1 for the Murray team. The big shot of the game for the Sox was Armatis. university of Ne braska pitcher, who hurled the open ing portion of the game, scoring five strikeouts in the three innings that he pitched and the soldiers were seemingly ineffective in hitting him. In the last innings of the game the military unloosened a bunting game that had the Sox on the hip and al lowed runners to reach bases and score runs sufficient to give them a safe margin of victory, altho in the eighth the Sox were threatening, but Shasteen, veteran hurler of the soldiers used his old dome and was able to check the rally. The Fort Crook team and the Sox are to engage again on Thursday evening at the Murray park and a real battle is expected between the two teams. The tabulated score of the game Sunday was as follows: Red Sox AB H I'O A K Little. 3b 5 1110 Svoboda. J.. 3b 4 16 11 Pierce.

Stiff jail sentences, instead of lines, will be imposed upon persons convicted of driving motor vehicles while under the influence of intoxi cating liquor, under provision of S. F. 8, amending and clarifying sec tion 39-1106 of the 19i'9 compiled statutes of Nebraska. Three classes oi penalties are cited in the law. They are: 1. First offense. 30 days impris onment in the county jail. 2. Second offense, imprisonment in the county jail not less than 90 days oi exeeding six months. 3. Third and each subsequent of fense, imprisonment in the peniten tiary for not less than one year not more than three years. Can't Drive for Year. In addition, any persons convicted on the above charges will be "ad judged and ordered by the court not to drive a motor vehicle of any de scription within this stale for a per iod of one year from the date oi his final discharge from the county jail r penitentiary." The law further states that any one under these conditions who in jures, maims, disfigures or causae the death of another person shall be t!emed guilty of felony and shall be .nprisoned in the penitentiary not j less than three years nor more than I 1 0 years. I The old statute, somewhat vague regarding penalties for drunken d'ivers. according to Senator James A. Rodman lR.1. Omaha, sponsor of ihe new bill, merely classed all of fence;; as misdemeanors, whereas the '.mended statute makes the third and each subsequent offense a felony. The only possible provision under which penalties could be imposed on the drunken driving chaige. Rodman stated, was that which governed the entire act. relating to reckless driv ing when no one was hurt or killed. This provided for only a fine at not lcs than $10 nor nore than $5.0 on tfce first offense and not less than f0 or imprisonment not exceeling f.O days for other offenses. "My idea to have jail and penitentiary sentences, in place of fines, is to see if the humil iation which usually accom panies imprisonment el any kind will have any effect on lessening lip number of drunken drivers on our streets ttnd highways." Senator Rodman pointed out. Omaha Girl Fatally Injured in Accident Crushed Between Auto and a Road Grader Youths Held Pend ing Investigation. Papillion Crushed against a road grader near here while riding on the running board of an automobile. Miss Ruby Kudrna. nineteen, of Om aha, was killed early Sunday. Miss Kudrna's death was a tragic denounment of an all night party in honor of her nineteenth birthday. Miss Mabel Storm of Omaha was driving the car at the time the girl .-uffered her fatal injuries. A prank played by the two girls on their boy companions resulted in the fatal crash. Roy Downen, Ax tell. Kas.. Miss Kudrna's fiancee, and Edward Sterkel. of Omaha, were fix ing a fiat tire, and the girls took their car and sped down the road a half mile. While returning the brakes fail ed at a corner and Miss Kudrna was swept against the grader. She suf fered three wounds and died an hour later, being brought here. Both youths were arrested pending com pletion of an investigation of the death. County Attorney Xickerson said the youths at first told him they had driven to Axtell, but later admitted they had only been riding in the vicinity of Omaha. The party, they .said, served the double purpose of celebrating Miss Kudrna's birthday and as a farewell for Downen, who was to have returned to his home Sunday. State Journal.

How 4-H Club Members Use Money The opportunities offered farm boys and girls for incomes through 4-H club work are significaiit, it is point ed out in an analyst of some 200 reports from selected club members in 30 states. In '.his summary, re cently received by the I'nited States Department of Agricu!; ur "4 per cent of the members report that club work has provided Income through products sold, prizes and other bene fits won. and the acquisition of farm property consuming 1 1 1 i r "capita!" for future operations. One club boy said: "Except for $2'o from my Esther and aboir $oo earned outside, the cattle and poultry and their offspring have paid my way through college. " An other boy reports: "Club work has enable me to buMd up a purebred Hoteteln herd, valued at more than $4.00it, besides calves sold this year at $1,085." Frequent mention is made of scholarships won to colleges, trips to camps and fairs, and money pr;zes. Earnings from club activities are utilized in about five different ways, according to the analysis made of the reports. About one-third of those reporting said their earnings were applied to school and colleg expen ses. Personal needs absorbed 17 per cent of the earnings. Another 17 per cent was invested. In. most cases the investment was in livestock or other farm property. Twelve per cent went into permanent savings. Home im provements were paid for by 6 and three tenths ner cent of the money obtained. Fifteen per cent of the members in the servey did not re port on their incomes.

Sprays Barn Instead of Cows Spraying the barn rather than the cows is a more satisfactory method of fighting flies. Dr. P. A. Downs cf ihe Agricultural College at Lin coln, says. He extracts a pound of flowers of pyrethrum with a gallon of kerosene, lets It stand for about two weeks and then spravs it on the inside of the barn with a sprayer having an atomizer nozzle. Some times oi! of wintergreen is used to deodorize te mixture. All the cows are driven out of the barn before the spr.:y is applied. The dead flies are swept up on the floor and disposed of. Windows of the barn at the college are painted with blue alabastine to darken the harn and also to keen 11 cooler inside. Get Weeds in Stubble Fields Plowing land Jul SS and disking it August 15 to kill weeds and pack the soil has been the best method of preparing land for winter wheat at the experiment station farm at Lincoln. Disking the etubble field the middle of July followed by plow ing the middle of August was the second best method over the same period of years. The first method resulted in a yield of about 31 bushels per acre while the second gave about 30 bushels per acre. Getting rid of the weeds and con serving the soil moisture in the fall by either of the methods seems to account for much of the high yield of the following crop. With present wheat price prospects for the coming year, the farmer who gets a high yield from a small acreage in 1932, without to much expense, will pro bably be ahead of the man who gets a low yield from a larger acreage. Even tho the land is not to be put into wheat this fall, it is good farm management to keep d6wn the weed crop by mowing, pasturing, plowing or listing the ground this month. Not only will the weed seed crop be destroved but much soil moisture will be stored in the soil for next year. D. D. Wainscott Cass County Ex tension Agent: Jessie H. Baldwin.

Farmer to Hear How Electricity Can Assist Him Industry to Begin Educational Cam paign to Teach Its Uses to Agriculture. Chicago With an ultimate goal of 3.000.000 electrified farms in the United States utilizing 18.000.000. 000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year, a committee on the relation of . It ctricity to agriculture yesterday made known its plans for an intensi fied educational campaign among farmers on the use of electric power. This is approximately five times the number of farms now receiving elec tric service. "An American agriculture without electricity." Dr. E. A. White, director of the committee, told the directors at their meeting here, "is simply un thinkable. In many quarters the conviction exists that one of the most significant developments of -the next 10 years will be the growth of electric service for farms growth both as to the number of customers served and amount of energy used."' The tanner, he said, is beginning to understand that the most direct rants to cheap electric service after the last word has been said on re ducing the costs of distribution lines, regulation, and so on is through increased use. and he is already past the point of making up his mind as to whether or not he wants electric Del Monte Fancy Sliced Pineapple Large No. 2 19c size can SALMON F jt !lnk Happyvale or " f Naiad.

"The manufacturers and merchan disers of equipment are sensing this situation," he said. "Instead of ask ing, is there a rural electrification market?' the questions are 'what does this market demand? how can w e reach it?' " It is in this attitude that the com mittee on rural electrification is ap proaching its educational campaign. It plans to put into the hands of farmers a bulletin containing the latest information on more than 100 rural uses for electricity, and to co operate with the American Home Economics Association in distribut ing a series of pamphlets covering rural electrification from the wom an's point of view. The committee also plans an educational exhibit at the Century of Progress Exposition here in 1933. In co-operation with the Univer sity of Wisconsin the committee is preparing for publication of a series of lessons on rural electrification for vocational agricultural students for which, according to Dr. White, there is an increasing demand.
