Prehistoric
Finds in State
Being Revealed
Dr. G. H. Gilmore of Murray, Left
Today for St. Helena, Cedar
Co., to Assist in Work.
Dr. G. H. Gilmore, who in recent
years has been greatly interested in
he development of the prehistoric
indings in Nebraska, departed today
for St. Helena, in Cedar county,
.vhere some valuable findings have
een made in the uncovering of a
village of the ancient Indians or
esidents of Nebraska in the ages
long gone.
The findings in Cedar county are
most valuable and reveal a whole
tillage of ruins and from which many
valuable relics and finds of the an
ient races can be derived. Dr. Gil-
nore was assisting the state workers
n the uncovering of several mounds
ind house sites in Cass county in
he last several years and has been
nvited to participate in the Cedar
ounty explorations into the ancient
rums.
Dr. Gilmore reports that the find
ngs at St. Helena have been very
valuable as to the development close-
y connected with the life of the an-
ients that might have once inhablt-
kl Nebraska.
Many of the finds that have been
evealed in Cass county have added
nuch to the lore of ancient life in
he great plains country of the west
and from all of the various explor
ations will be woven in the future a
wonderful history of the early Ne-
braskans and inhabitants of this
art of the west.

Hybrid Cora
Yields Best
in the State
Foundation . Seed Can Be Obtained
from Experiment Stations
Difference of 18 Per Cent
Nebraska farmers are told in an
announcement made from the Ne
braska college of agriculture that
hybrid corn has outyielded the best
varieties of corn consistently in Ne
braska in special tests during the
past few years.
It is not expected, however, that
farmers will develop inbreds for the
production of hybrid seed corn. Most
of this will be done at experimental
stations which will supply interest
ed corn growers with foundation
seed. This consists of two single
crosses from which can be produced
the hybrid seed. A number of farm
ers thruout the state are following
the latter practice this summer.
As an average for five years dur
ing which time nineteen different
tests were conducted, the five best
hybrids yielded on the average seventy-eight
bushels per acre compared
to sixty-six bushels for the five best
varieties. This represented a differ-
enc of 18 percent.
Agronomists at the college of agri
culture says that good hybrids, in
addition to making a higher yield,
also may be expected to have a more
uniform height of ear, to produce
fewer sucker and barren stalks and
to lodge less than ordinary varieties.
Corn grown from hybrid seed by
ordinary field pollination should not
be used for planting regardless of
how fine it may look, the agron
omists say. Its yielding abiuity will
be greatly below that of the ordinary
hybrid seed and probably even lower
than the ordinary good variety. It
is necessary, they say to produce the
hybrid seed each year by controlled
crossing or else 'u'se old seed.
Bride Reveals
Success-Secret
to Her Friends
"I'm going to give you a tip from
experience," she explained, "and I
hope it saves you the heart aches I've
been thru. After .we were married
for about a iriefntn, I "noticed that
John's appetite was gone. He would
pretend to eat, but I could see he
wasn't hungry. Then, someone told
me that he was eating down town
before coming home. Naturally, I
was heart broken-. I knew my cook
ing wasn't so good, but thought it
was simply lack of experience.
"Fortunately, my neighbor came
in while I was still crying, and I told
her my difficulties. She immediately
called her grocer to send me a sack
cf VICTOR FLOUR. Then she put
me to work making biscuits and
angel food cake. I used my old rec
ipes, but you should have seen the
difference! When John came home,
I could see he regretted that hasty
sandwich down town. Now, his ap
petite has miraculously recovered,
and I'm taking no chances on his
'losing it again. I'm a convert to
VICTOR FLOUR and haven't had one
failure since using It."
Victor Flour is manufactured by
The Crete Mills, Crete. Nebraska, one
of Nebraska's oldest and largest mill
ing companies. You can buy it at
all Better Grocers in Plattsmouth.
A PIONEER PICTURE
In the rotogravure section of the

appeared a picture that has much in
terest to the residents of this city

ing the pioneer store of Thomas K.
Hanna, whose widow, the owner of
the picture, died a few days ago at
the age of 97.
The picture shows the log cabin
house of the Hanna family as well
as the store building, which like all
the structures of that day was con
structed of cottonwood. The vicinity
of the house and store was filled
with covered wagons and large num
ber of oxen resting until they took
up the task of hauling wagons west
to Denver and the Rocky mountain
sections. At the time the picture was
made the "Missouri river was flowing
in the Nebraska side and the busi
ness section of the city was on Second
street where the Burlington freight
house, coal sheds and the ice plant
are now located. To the present day
resident the only familiar landmark
is the bluff where the Burlington
bridge now has its Nebraska term
inus.

forty minutes and the patient was
