KAVY PB0JECT HELD BACK
Washington. Secretary Swanson
repeated he favors building up the

possible, but said in the interview
that plans for such, a program depend
entirely upon government economies
to be laid out by President Roose
velt. The secretary had not consulted
subordinates and no arrangements
had been formulated for construe
tion to reach maximum strengtn.
Final decision rests with the presi
dent. In drafting any plans now,
the secretary would have close at
hand Admiral William V. Pratt, chief
of naval operations, who reached the
age of retirement on March 1, but
who is remaining at his pest until
May 1, at the request cf the presi
dent and the secretary of the navy.
M0EE CHICKENS MISSING
Prom Saturday's Da"y
The farming localities west and
north of this city are suffering from
the depredations of chicken thieves
and Sheriff Sylvester and Deputy
Sheriff Lancaster are kept busy re
sponding to the calls from the per
sons who have had their chickens
taken.
Last night the officers were call
ed to the farm of John Halmes, west
of this city on the Cedar Creek road,
where someone had visited the farm
and made off with the chickens. The
officers were unable to get any trace
of the robbers who had plenty of op
portunity to make a getaway before
the loss was discovered.
NEWSPAPERS GIVEN CREDIT
Berkeley. Expressing the belief
that the country had reached "the
bottom of the economic curve," Dr.
Paul F. Cadman, economist of the
University of California, said the
newspapers had "made possible the
feeling of confidence which upheld
the people during the bank holiday."
"The newspapers devoted them
selves to setting forth the facts in
calm, clear fashion, which helped
very materially to prevent panic,"
said Dr. Cadman. "Not only the gen
eral public, but also the bankers in
many instances, had to rely on the
newspapers to bring them exact in
formation as to what was going on
in Washington."
ENTERTAINS FROM MILWAUKEE
From Saturday's Dally
E. M. Ruby, one of the well known
residents of near Weeping Water,
was in the city today and while here
was a caller at the Journal to renew
his subscription. Mr. Ruby states
that his son, Bernard Ruby, well
known radio entertainer, is now lo
cated at radio station WISN at Mil
waukee. He is still appearing with
"Cousin Paul," and John Holden, the
trio that was for so many months a
feature of the Georgie Porgie pro
grams. They are now on tne crazy
Crystal program at WISN.

Murray Garden Club Organizes.
The Sunny Side Garden Club of
Murray held their first meeting Sat
urday to organize and &et started
again for this year. Mrs. W. E.
Mackey will again lead the club and
she says the expert to have about
twenty members. Every town in
Cass county should have a 4-H gar
den club this year. There never was
a lime when young boys and girls
caJi be of more value to themselves
and their parents than this year by
taking care of the home garden and
enjoy the association of other boj's
and girls in a garden club.
Swine and Dairy Clubs Organize
The Super Swine Producers and
the Weeping Water Dairy Calf club
held their organization meetings last
wek. Nine members enrolled in the
pig club and lected the tame Eet of
officers who served last year. Seven
members enrolled in the Dairy Club.
Both of these club3 are led by War
ren Fager cf Avoca. Anyone inter
ested in joining may notify the coun
ty agent or get in touch with the
club leader.
More 4-H Baby Beeves in County.
Cass County 4-H boys and girl3
are feeding more baby beeve3 than
usual this year. A partial check-up
on the three clubs in the county
shc that there are well over fifty
on feed.
The interest has shifted somewhat
from swine to baby beef, no doubt
due to the discouraging prices for
Legs. Those members that shift
around from one project to another
do not usually get as far as those
that continue to improve themselves
in the project they are especially in
terested in. So it may again prove
out that the members in swine clubs
that produce good stock will be re
warded fo rtheir efforts next fall.
4-H Enrollment Heaviest in
Agent Counties.
Over 90 per csm of the 4-H club
enrollment reported so far in 1923 to
the state club office in Lincoln is
from counties with Farm Bureau and
county 4-H club committees, L. I.
Frisbie stated today.
The percentage is in line with the
records for the past ten years, he
added. Durnig that time about half
the counties have had Farm Bureau
and county agents while the other
half have not. Ninety rer cent of
the enrollment and about 93 per cent
of the compltion of projects has teen
in the Farm Bureau counties.
Asked regarding the action of the
hause of representative Thursday,
Frisbie said the inquiries were be
ginning to come in again regarding
the future of 4-II club3 if the Farm
Bureau law is repealed. Friends of
club work as well as the members
and local leaders want to know if
they can continue to have their clubs
without county agents.
The answer is the same as has
been stated many times before, Fris
bie said. They can have their clubs,
but they won't. History of such
cases has always been the same. Vol
untary leaders will carry on for a
year or tw.o but seldom can they
stand the personal expense and time
for very long. One county with a
part-time club agent three years ago,
had 471 club members. In 1932,
without the help of an agent, they
had but 19 members.
Oats and Barley Smut Treatment
Numerous inquiries are being re
ceived at the Farm Eureau office for
information as to the best methods
of treating oats and barley to control
smut. Covered smut in barley may
destroy as much as DO per cent of
the crop. It can be controlled by
treating the seed with one pint of
formaldehyde in 4 0 gallon3 of water.
This may be sprinkled over 40 to CO
bushels of seed or the seed may be
dipped Into the solution. The amount
of water used as a carried of the for
maldehyde may ba reduced to ten
gallons, this treatment preferred in
fany cases since it wets the grain
less. Lure sxicuia ue lauea 10 see mai
the one point of formaldehyde is
applied at the rate of one pint to 40
to 50 bu3hel3 cf grain. If applied
stronger than this, the germination
may be injured.
The formaldehyde treatment out
lined for barley may be used for oats.
Some prefer to use a small hand
sprayer to apply the formaldehyde in
porportions of one pint of formalde
hyde to one pint of water, spraying
this over 40 to 50 bushels of grain.
This so-called dry treatment can be
used for both oats and barley.
Seed grain sprinkled with a solu-
tion of formaldehyde soluton should
be covered for about six hohrs and
then spread oht to dry or be seeded.
Formadehyde should be purchased in
sealed cans or bottles.
What Is Your Pasture Program?
Have you planned on some tem
porary pasture to take the place of
your bluegrass when it dries up in
July and August? What will you
do for a lte fall pasture? Write the
Farm Bureau office for pasture Cir
cular 102. It is a new circular and
will help solve your problems.
Fiz-It Club Organizes.
A 4-II Fix-It Club was organized
in the Alvo community recently, with
fourteen members enrolled. Both,
boys and girls belong to this club and
they elected Mario Franks president;
Ellswortr Dodrill vice president;
Mabe Dodrill, secretary; Opal Frank
pianist and Rosa Williams news re
porter. Mrs. Glenn Lewis is leader
of the club and she will be assisted
by Mr. Lewis.
Much interest is being shown in
the new Fix-It project and it is ex
pected that many clubs will be or
ganized this spring. If j-ou are in
terested, see or write the county ex
tension agents.
CEIO WORKERS HIRED ANEW
Cleveland. More than five thou
sand families in industrial Ohio cock
ed an ear for the factory whistle as
their breadwinners prepared to go
back to work. The call went out in
Cleveland, Steubenville, Youngstown,
Toledo, and other cities and men
grinned broadly when they got the
news.
For industry had responded to the
impetus of open banks, whose num
ber had mounted well past the 500
mark in Ohio.
Thompson Products company of
Cleveland announced It would recall
between 300 and 400 men Monday.
There followed a call by the Cleve
land Graphite Bronze company for
more men to join the 350 already
working full time.
The Cleveland branch of Fisher
Bodies company notified ccme 3,000
former employes to appear for duty
Monday. The Toledo branch of the.
Chevrolet Motor company then an
nounced that operations would be re
sumed Monday after a week's shut
down. The plant had been employ
ing more than 1,500 men.
Scrap iron yards at Youngstown
put fifty men to work sorting and
preparing scrap for uso in open
hearth furnaces. The BcllanEbee Bro
ther Co., Steubenville, O., disclosed
plans for increased operations by
Monday at its Follansbee, W. Va.,
mill plant. Some seventy-five men
will be added to the payroll.
New York. There i3 now more
buoyancy to general commercial , ac
tivity than has been In evidence in
years, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., said.
The Mercantile Review said that
further progress was made this week
toward restoring confidence in all
branches of business endeavor, that
retail buying improved and that sale3
i nnome lines went ahead of seasonal.
When prices are very high it is
hard to believe there will ever be a
change. When prices are very low It
is still harder to believe that there
will ever be a change. But a little
study of history assures us that the
change always comes.
WOMEN: watch your
What should women do to keep their
bowels moving freelv? A doctor should
know the answer. That is why pure
Syrup Pepsin is so good for women. It
just suits their delicate orpau'sm. It is
the prescription of an old family doctor
who has treated thousands of women
patients, and who made a special study
of bowel troubles.
It is fine for children, too. They love
its taste. Let them have it every time
their tongues are coated or their skin
is sallow. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
is made from fresh laxative herbs, pure
pepsin and other harmless ingredients.
