Tie Dublin gathering of a dozen cardinals, a score of archbishops and 1LU bishops, the largest meeting of the Korean Catholic heirarchy held outiue of Rome in recent years, will be a reflection of a liule convention call: J by Bishop Gaston De Pegur of Lille. France, in 1SS1. Bishop De Segur had the idea of paying tribute to the sacrament by convoking a meeting of a few hundred laity and prints and exalting the euchariat during the meeting. The idea did rot arouse much enthusiasm at first, but the next year another meeting was held al Avignon, and the third year at Liege. In the fourth year the congress ceased to be loeal or na tional and became international by meeting at Fribourg. Switzerland. From that time on the eucharistic congress leaped in impoi lance. The next meeting at Toulouse, France, drew l.SOu ecclesiastics and 30,000 laymt. n. Xir.e year? after Bishop De Segur's initial meeting. 150.000 delegates received the benediction at the con gress at Antwerp. "The congresses were continued in various capitals and large cities every vear or two until the World war interrupted them. The present pope.

P, Delegation Stays by Amendment Jefferis tee: ;ads Credentials Comrrit- HcMulltE Continues His lisrht for Farm Plank. Chicago. June 14. Albert Jefferis of Omaha, former Nebraska Congress man, was selected chairman of the credentials committee of the Repub lican national convention Tuesday afternoon. A major task faces this group, as the seating of delegates of a number of southern states has been contest ed. Among the delegations involved were the contests of a Mississippi pi ou p headed by a former governor of Nebraska. George Sheldon. Jefferis is close to the adminis tration at Washington. He favors re submission of the Eighteenth amend ment. However, the state delegation has instructed Sam R. McKelvie, Nebras ka's representative on the resolutions committee, to express its attitude as satisfied with the amendment. Nebra:.kan.-, however, are listen ing with interest to discussions of prohibition. They primarily are interested in farm relief, and Adam. McMullen wants the platform to favor the equalization fee. He plans to appear before the resolutions committee if necessary. Mark Wood of Lincoln is the wa terway booster on the Nebraska dele featicn. and Arthur J. Weaver, chair man of the delegation, also wants the work to continue. The primary system was discussed Tuesday afternoon by C. A. McCloud, national committeeman, who favors the convention system of nominating the party's candidates for all state offices except governor. Nehraskan- have taken no part in moves to nominate Charles G. Dawes for vice president, although he once was a resident of Lincoln. McMullen believes Nebraska should stick by Charles Curtis.

Carl Holm, fifty-Eix year old Haskell Creek farmer confessed to Sheriff George Rounds that his story of being drugged and robbed of foG on Memorial day was a hoax to hide an unsuccessful attempt at suicide. Holm admitted, according to Sher iff Rounds, that financial difficulties led him to make the attempt on his life. He said he made the story of the holdup after the poison he had taken only made him ill. He is heavily in debt, he says, and a mortgage on ma larra is huoui io be foreclosed. To gain additional time before the foreclosure suit was filed, . Holm said that about two months ago he began writing letters to himself and signing them "Kris- tian Olsen," pretending that the let ters came from Litchfield. He pre tended that' Olsen was an old friend who was trying to buy the farm. A comparison of handwriting by a Lincoln expert led to the expose and confession. First Caucus is Held at the Convention McKelvie Instructed to Give Atti tnde of State; McMullen Farm Aid Plan Hits Snag. Chicago, June 13. Nebraska's delegates to the Republican national convention Monday held their cau cus behind closed doors but word came out that Sam R. McKelvie, for mer governor and former member of tne lederai farm board, wbo was elected to represent the cornhusker state on the resolutions committee. was instructed to reflect the attitude of the state as dry. Another former governor, Adam McMullen, ran up against a stumb ling block in his effort to win aid for the farmers by getting an equal ization fee plank in the national platform. McMullen, a farmer, recently nom inated by President Hoover for post master at Beatrice, courted the reso lution committee assignment. For two hours the caucus contin ued. Delegates admitted the prohibi tion question was discussed, but as serted no action had been taken. Dr. H. E. Porter, Fairbury, who since leaving Lincoln, has boasted the delegation is "just one big happy Republican family," commented after the meeting "just one big family," omitting the word happy. Robert Smith. Omaha, chairman of the state Republican committee asserted, "harmony without accord." C. A. McCloud. York. Republican national committeeman, revealed to newspapermen McKelvie had been instructed to reflect the attitude of the state as dry. Soon after the doors were closed Smith moved to define the attitude of the delegation on the prohibition question. After long discussion, a motion by a woman whose name was not revealed to table Smith's resolu tion was passed. The vote was not revealed, but reports were that 12 of the 17 dele gates do not want to tamper with the Eighteenth amendment. A third former governor, Arthur J. Weaver, Falls City, was elected chairman of the delegation. Mrs. Bertha C. Hughes, Omaha, and Smith were elected vice chair men of the delegation. Mrs. H. C. M. Burgess, Lincoln, alternate, who takes the place to which the late C. F. Reavis, former Congressman, was elected, was selected for secre tary. Albert I. Jefferis, Omaha, former Congressman, was elected to the credentials committee, and Allen G. Burlse, Bancroft, - was selected for the rules committee. Gould Dietz, Omaha, veteran of many conventions, was selected a member of the committee which will inform the piesidential nominee of his selection. Dr. Potter was elected a member of the vice presidential notification committee. Weaver was nominated by Fenton B. Fleming of Lincoln. Both he and McCloud, who called the meeting to order, requested harmony throughout the convention, and urged Nebras ka's delegates to present a united lront. Still another former Nebraska governor is in Chicago George L. Sholton, who heads a delegation from Mississippi. The delegation passed a resolution on the death of Mr. Reavis. Burke was instructed to keep the delega tion informed of any important ac tion of a controversial nature on which the delegation should confer and express sentiment. Omaha Bee News. WILL PAY AMUSEMENT TAX Washington. Americans who go amusement hunting after June 20 at theaters and other resorts where admission is charged will begin pay ing a tax of 10 percent on all amounts above 41 cents instead of on $3 as under the present law. The bureau of international revenue made public the regulation for ad ministering the new tax by which Uncle Sam hopes to raise $42,000, 000 next year. The tax must be paid by those who pay the admis sion, ten bureau ruled. Another change is the provision for taxing free or reduced rate ad missions except to bona fide employes, municipal officers on official busi ness and children under twelve years of age. All others admitted free or at reduced rates must pay the regu lar tax. Hoarded money will not help business conditions to improve. It's the money in circulation that counts!

Cass County Farm "jr t vr jf Bureau Notes Copy furnished from Office of County Agent Wainscott fci county AgeiiL wainscon Sprays for Various Insect Pests. Many calls are coming to the farm bureau office for control of various insects that are damaging garden and field crops. Probably the Colo adQ Potato Bet tie is causing the most alarm. The easiest method of con trol for small areas is by dusting with arsenate of lead or paris green. One part of arsenate of lead with with S parts of flour or 1 part of pans green witn l- parts of flour. Mix the ingredients well and put in a cheese cloth bag and dust on the plants. An old can with a few holes in it also works well. The dusting should be done in the morning when the dew is on. This will cause the dust to cling evenly on the leaves of the plant. Lime is sometimes used instead of flour but it does not stick as well. The paris" green gives a lit- tie faster kill but will not withstand the rain as well as arsenate of lead. I It is not necessary to try to dust un-j der the leaves because the potato beetle eats the leaf from the edge, consuming it all as it goes. Cucranber Beetle and Plant Lice, The striped cucumber beetle is one of the hardest insect pests to control in the garden. The latest control! method is as follows: Mix one part of calcium arsenate with 15 parts of land plaster or agricultural gypsum. .Dust this mixture over tne cucumber plants or other garden ; plants being attacked by the beetles : and keep the dust on the plants as ; he' grow, or as the wind or ram akes it off. If the gypsum cannot be obtained locally, ten parts of hydrat- ed lime can be substituted for the 15 parts ox gypsum. The lime will not be quite as effective, however as the alcium arsenate and gypsum. Shou.'d plant lice also be attacking he cucumbers, spray them with a spray made up of one teaspoon nico tine sulphate to one gallon of water in which an ounce of laundry soap has been dissolved. IT the lice have already caused the leaves to curl, the spray will not be effective because it must hit the lice 4n order to kill them. When the leaves have curled and the lice are inside, mix one fourth pound dry nicotine sulphate with five pounds of hydrated lime. Dust this mixture under the plant in the heat of the day when the wind is not blowing. If the wind is blowing enough to carry the fumes away, cover the plants with sheets or sacks to hold in the fumes. Cabbage Worn. This velvet?- green' worm, about 1 inches long, found on the cab bage, has not arrived as yet but will soon be giving trouble. The eggs are laid singly on cabbage leaves by the white butterfly which is commonly seen living over cabbage nelus. ine eggs hatch in 6 to 10 days and the worms mature in two weeks, chang ing to green or slate-colored pupae or chrysalid3 fastened to a leaf cr other sheltered location by a silk loop. Two to four generations are produced annually. Control: Apply calcium arsenate or lead arsenate as a spray, or dust before the worms enter the head. To the spray add two pounds of hard or resin soap to each 50 gallons to spread the material on the smooth cabbage leaf. Dusting is best done while the dew is on the plant. Where cabbage is used as greens, arsenicals are not recommended nor should these be applied when the cabbage head is well formed. Tomato Worm. Tomato plants showing branches with all leaves eaten. Careful search shows a heavy green worm about 3 inches long with white side mark ings and prominent horn on back near. hind end of body. It develops from yellowish eggs laid singly on the tomato plant. The worms de foliate the plants rapidly. The adult is a hawk moth with wing expanse of about 42 inches, found in even ing around flowers. The insect over winters in the soil as a brown pupa about 2 inches long. Control: Apply lead arsenate spray or lead arsenate dust. For light infestations hand-pick worms which may be readily located near the defoliated areas of the plants. Field Crop Insects. "With the heavy rains the grasshop per situation is looking better in &iss county. However some damage to the next crop of alfalfa can be ex pected in places. At the time of the nevt cutting leaving a small strip on the edges or in the center of the field will cause the hoppers to gath er there in a day after the hay is re moved. Then applj'ing a small amount of poison bran on these strips will get a real kill. Several alfalfa fields are being damaged by the green striped cater pillars. This damage is in the na ture of the green shoots coming from the crown after the first cutting, be ing eaten to the ground. In other places, where the hay has been win rowed for several days. Under this hay the variegated cutworm and army worm are eating the green shoots and the field is free of green shoots in rows under the hay. Most of the damage from these three worms is about over now. They are practically mature and are ready to go into the ground to pupate, where thej- will come out later to lay their eggs in late summer. In most every case this damage could have been checked had it been noticed in time and a little poison bait scat tered over the spots. The moths seem to lay tseir eggs in small areas and the worms work out from there. The same poison bait that kills grasshop pers will kill the cut worm, green striped caterpillar and variegated cut worm. (Heme Conservation of rruits and Vegetables Fruits and vegetables are a nec- icssary part ot a well balanced diet. j Since fruits and vegetables are 'grown during only part of the year iit is necessary to produce a surplus j during the growing season and to jfir.d some means of conserving this food until it is needed. Extension circular 922 gives de- tailed information on canning fruits 'and vegetables by the use of open kettle, water bath, steamers, pres- sure cookers and the oven. This cir- cular is available at the Farm Iiu- rcau office and will be sent out upon request.
