Several reports of serious damage and inquiries as to methods of con trol of the weevil in wheat bins, have come to the farm bureau office in the past few days. This stored- grain pest causes serious damage and can be controlled easily by the use of carbon disulphid. It is heavier than air and penetrates down through the grain, killing the insects without in jury to the grain. It has one great disadvantage, in thai it is inflammable and will ex plode if tire in any form is brought near it. One good method of using it is to take a gas pipe with a screen over the end, work it down into the grain and pour the carbon disulphide into the pipe. This should be done in several places in the cribs. The person handling the fluid should be very careful not to breathe too much of the gas. A good precaution is to have some one near by in case they are needed.

The results of the Hessian Fly station and campaign last year was almost 100. Why spoil all the good work by seeding early this year? Those thinking of seeding soon need only to compare the results of waiting for the fly free date last year and the early seeding the year before when many fields in the county were cut in half by fly damage. The approximate safe seeding date in this county is about October 1st and everyone should observe this date and see that his neighbor does also, as his early seeding will af fect your fields. Volunteer wheat Bhould be kept down so that it v. ill not be a place for the fly to lay its ggt later on.

With eggs so plentiful and reason able the following suggestions may prove helpful. these were taken from the monthly poultry report from the Agricultural College: I. Cold water Is best for cleaning soiled egg dishes and is also a fine egg stain remover. . White of egg will remove chew ing gum from anything, including hair, without leaving a trace. 3. A teaspoon of water added to egg whites hastens the beating pro cess and increases the amount. 4. Stiffly beaten egg whites add ed to whipped cream, doubles the quantity and improves the flavor. 5. Dishes from eggs and milk take the place of meat in the menu, giving a new slant to the every day meals. 6. If you do not have an egg slicer, dip your knife into water be fore cutting hard boiled eggs, and the yolks will not crumble. 7. Egg custards ready for the oven, still uncooked, are relished by children more than baked custards, and are fully as wholesome. 8. When beating eggs separately, beat the whites first and arid a little to the yolks. They will thicken more quickly and not stick to the beater as much as when beaten alone. 9. When egg yolks not needed in the same recipe with the whites, beat them and add a little cold wa ter. Place in the refrigerator until seme use is found for them. 10. If it is necessary to boil fresh ly laid eggs, allow them to lie in cold water for 10 minutes before placing in the water for boiling. They will then peel easily. II. To clean leather chairs, wipe all dust and dirt from the leather surface, and rub with a cloth satur ated with well beaten egg white. Af ter it is dry, polish with soft cloths and the leather will look like new. 12. Well whipped egg whites fur nish a substitute for v.-reum in salad dressings and gives a fluffy quality desirable for fruit salad or the in dividual vegetable one. Beat with a few spoonsful of strong mayonnaise. D. D. Wainscott. Cass Co. Exten sion Agent; Jessie H. Baldwin, As sistant Co. Extension Agent. The members of the Order of the Eastern Star with th. ir families en joyed a very fine picnic on Monday afternoon and while the event was originally scheduled to be held at Naeve's park near I-a Platte, the weather man interferred with the program and instead the event was held at the Masonic building. A few of the members of the picnic party had drove to the Dark in the after noon and were caught in the first threat of the rain, buv the larger number of the Stars and their fam ilies were not ready to attend ami es caped the inconvenience of the rain. The hall and banquet room of the Masonic- building were transformed into a place of gaiety for the evening and here the members and the little folks of the parity enjoyed games of all kinds and also partaking of the fine array of picnic dinners that hail been provided and which included the ice cream and other delicacies for the young and old. While many f the 'Utdoor events planned were forced to be postponed it was nevertheless one of the most enjoyable social events that the O. E. S. has held In many months. Coach Shop of the Burlington at Aurora, III. Burns Reports Received Here That Coach Structure With 25 Coaches and 2 Private Cars Burned At an early hour this morning the coach shop of the Burlington rail road, located at Aurora, Illinois, was destroyed by fire with a loss that will reach several hundred thousand dollars. In the shop at the time were twenty-five coaches as well as two pri vate cars of officials which were un dergoing repeairs at the time. The Aurora shop was the only shop on the system devoted to the building and repair of the passenger coaches, dining ana private cars m the last two years, the passenger work formerly being divided between the local shops and the Aurora shop but was later consolidated at the Illi nois town and where it has been conducted since. The reports received here indicated that the machine shop and other de partments of the plant were not de stroyed but the coach department was a total loss, rso cause of the tire was given. Just what plans will be made for the handling of the passenger car work of the system is not known here is yet. but the fire will place the company in a position ot at least eeking temporary places for the car repair work until it will he possihie to rebuild the shops which will re quire some time. The local shop buildings which were formerly used hy the Burling ton are now being taken over bv rhe Burlington Refrigerator Express Co.. who are to use all of the buildings with the exception of the former upper coach shop and paint shop. nd the machinery anrl the equip ment of the shops used in the han- Uing of the refrigerator work. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE PLEAS NOT GUILTY From Wednesday's Dally Reports received here from Blair are to the effect that Herbert Swan son. Ralph Jacks and Morris Lloyd, former Plattsmouth young men. who were taken in custody by Washing ton county authorities in connection with the finding of a still, have been bound over to the district court for trial. The three men have entered a plea of not guilty and so far have not supplied the bond necessary to secure their release. The case is the outgrowth of the discovery last week of a still on a farm in Washington county by the officers while they were searching for chicken thieves. It is claimed that Jacks and Lloyd were at the farm where the still was located and the ownership of the still was al leged to be in Herbert Swanson of Omaha, and the two other men were in his employe to operate the still. TO LOCATE AT LINCOLN Miss Helen Wescott departed Mon day afternoon for Lincoln where she will take up her duties as secretary to Rev. Dr. Murdoch, pastor of the Trinity M. E. church of that city. Miss Wescott was engaged last year in a similar position with the pastor of one of the large Presby terian churches at Des Moines and where her work was outstanding and won her a great deal of praise for the efficient manner in which it was conducted. The change to the Lin coln position is most pleasant to Miss Wescott as it brings her much nearer home and also gives her the oppor tunity of being with the many school friends at Lincoln, she being an adumni of Weslevan university. LADIES ARE RELEASED From Tuesday's I'.Aliy The three colored ladies who were arrested at Union on Saturday night, yesterday were released from cus tody, the vagrancy charge not being pressed and while the two men were held the three ladies were sent on their way rejoicing back to Omaha. The subject of the Lesson-Sermon read at all Christian Science churches and societies on Sunday. August 30. was 'Christ Jesus." The object of the citations read was to show what the spiritual Christ, the image and likeness of divine Spirit, or Son of Clod, as exemplified in the works of the human .lesus. Also to sh'w what ire the good effects with mortals when they properly receive in con sciousness, and live In all their acts. the true idea of God. One citation read from the Bible is as follows: 'If I do not the works of my Father. believt me not. But if I do, thoueh e believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me. and I in him." (John 10:37.38). One selection read from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 332 i . is as follows: "Christ is the true idea voicing good, the divine message from God to men speaking of the human consciousness. The Christ is incorporeal, spiritual, yea, the divine image and like ness, dispelling the illusions of the senses: the Way, the Truth, and the Life, healing the sick and casting out evils, destroying sin, disease, and death." FIND DEMENTED VETERAN The residents of the vicinity of Greenwood reported to the office of the sheriff Saturday evening that a stranger was wandering around in that locality and seemed unable to give an account of himself or his purpose in stopping at the west Cass county town. It was found after Deputy Sheriff Young had visited Greenwood that the man was a for mer service man and was formerly in a hospital for shell shock but he was unable to give the location of the hospital or his residence. The unfortunate man stated that his name was Schofield and that he had come from somewhere in Pennsyl vania but he could not recall where. The man was brought on into this city and placer! in the county jail to be cared for until some disposition could be mode of his case. The man was hnHv iii need of hospital care and to be taken in to one S. Veterans hospitals. of the U.
