Mr. Snell tells that Cass county is enjoying much better crops than that of the country contiguous to the place where they reside. Sheriff Homer Sylvester was a busi ness caller in Weeping Water on last Tuesday afternoon and was looking after some official business in the line of seeing that the bread trucks vending their wares were raring for their local licenses. The home bakery of Weeping Water is producing as fine a line of bread and pastry as can be found anywhere and why shouia favor be given to an outside con cern and not be compelled to pay local license as well as the home institu tion. Martin Johnson and wife of Sie bert. Colorado, where they are en gaged in farming, were spending last week here attending the Cass county fair and as well were visiting with Mrs. Johnson's father. P.

Small Elaze Causes Damage. In the Troy L. Davis building in the uptairs over the store of Elmer Michelsen, occurred a fire on Thurs day of last week which promised to be a very Bevere one, but the prompt work of the Weeping Water fire fight ers v ho were almost instantly on the spot with their apparatus and were pouring streams of water into the building. "While the fire did not get into the room below the large amount of water which it was necessary to use deluged the store of Elmer Mich rlsen. doinsr much damage. The store was -closed the remainder of the week and the entire week this week until Saturday when the good were gotten into condition for the reopening. While there was no fire in the store of Mr. Michelsen, there was some damage, but the goods are all straightened out and all in readiness for the resumption of business at this time. There was insurance on the stock, but there is bound to be a big loss outside of the insurance, as in every case. Mr. Davis also had ade quate insurance on the building. Entertained Visitors Monday. Mrs. Carl Day entertained at the Day home on last Monday and had as her guest3 Miss Edith Clizbe, Mrs. J. J.

Returns Pastor to Charge. Wetping Water is indeed fortunate in that the Methodist conference in session at Omaha saw fit to return the pastor who has officiated at the Methodist churches both of Weeping Water and Xehawka, and at both places Rev. and Mrs. E. S. Pangburn are well liked and where they have been doing such splendid work. The work at both the churches has been going forward in a very pleasing manner. Under New Management. The Bungalow Inn which was first instituted by the Gibson Sisters some time aeo and later was conducted by Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Birdsall, and still later by John Bender, who came here from Sutton, who in turn dis posed of the property to Art Johnson and which is to be conducted by Art and his sister, Esther, under the name of Art's Quick Lunch. Art Johnson is a young man with plenty of hustle in iim, and Miss Esther one of the most accomplished of cooks and caterers and in every way capable, and they should make a pair who will overcome all difficulties and make the institution a success. Bill Johnson has been assisting in the de corating and putting some attractive signs on the windows telling of the change of business, and is adding much to the better appearance of the place. Go to it young folks, we are for you. Over a Half Century. James Johnson, a farmer residing near town while in conversation with the writer this week said that he had been in Cass county for the past 54 years and that during that time he had learned to know that Cass coun ty with its better crop years and those not quite so good was as good a place to reside as one might wish. Fifty-four years ago there was a much different country here than now, but the same dependable weather and fer tile soil. Mr. Johnson was 23 years of age when he came here. He was born in 1857 within a mile and a half of Malvern, Iowa, near the Nishana botana river, and likes both the coun try there and here, hardly knowing which is best. The Cass County Fair. The meeting or the farmers and others in Cass county at the hustling little city of Weeping Water in the form of the county fair, has come and gone for this year. The board of hustlers having in charge the con duct of the fair did all they could for the success of the fair, but Old Man Weather was rather loath to co operate, but during the latter part did smile some. The entire population of the county were behind the meet ing as they always are, but the peo ple of Weeping Water and vicinity were most loyal to the fair and it was by their efforts that the meet ing was the success it was, notwith standing the weather. The first day was rather bad as to weather and being the first day only made it dis agreeable to work, for there was not expected a great crowd, but the next day was not so much better, but on the third day during the afternoon the entire town was filled with peo ple coming to attend the exhibition and to meet their friends. But not until Friday, the last day, was the outpouring cf the county to that ex tent that it seeemed as though the town would not contain them, and everyone was well satisfied with the good time which was furnished for them and as well for the fine stock display, the fine poultry, hogs, cat tie, cheep, horses and as well the products of the garden, the fields and the orchard. The great success was of the en tire day and the entire fair was the school parade which numbered 37 floats and with four bands and a long string of stock, all indicating that Cass county is one of the very best places to live in the entire na tion. The geratest was the evidence of the training of the children for better citizens and for the wonderful work which our public school system is doing for the country. So the fair came and is gone for another year, when we shall make it even better, if possible. "See it before you Buy IV $29,330 More in Relief is Given to 13 Counties j. H. Rowland Resigns Post of As sistant State Director No Successor Named. The state relief committee Tuesday afternoon allotted $29,330 more fed eral relief funds to thirteen Nebraska counties and announced the resigna tion of J. H. Rowland as assistant state relief director. W. H. Smith, secretary of the com mittee, said that no successor was! named for Rowland's post. Smith said a policy had not been determined j but local workers might be trained and utilized to assist the state relief director in field work. Of the 329,330 allotted, $5,000 went to Lancaster county and $20, 000 went to Douglas county. The ember relief more may be demands and $10,000 granted for this month later. Dr. C. P. Fall of Beatrice, member of the committee, voted against Har land L. Mossman's amendment giv ing $20,000 to Douglas county and the motion was lost, the amount re maining" $10,000 additional for Sept ember. Lancaster county has now been allotted $12,000 for September as compared with Douglas county's $45,000. It was stated that Douglas county has four times as many fam ilies on relief as Lancaster. Smith said the Omaha members of the committee. Dr. F. W. Heagey and Harland Mossman, pleaded so exten sively for additional funds for Doug las county that if the state gets an other $46,000 this month as recom mended by Eherrard Ewing, middle west federal relief agent, a special meeting of the state committee will be called to consider another $10, 000 allotment to Douglas county. The Omahans also threatened to go to Washington with a direct appeal for funds if not given their request. Chairman Smith said other members of the committee suggested such lunds be used for relief rather than travel. If made, this would bring the to tal federal funds for -Douglas county in September to $55,000. The com mittee allowed $25,000 the first of the month and the past week Chair man Smith made a $10,000 emerg ency allotment, which was approved by the state committee. An addition al $10,000 allotment was also made by the committee Tuesday. One other conditional allotment made by Smith, $300 to Knox county, also was approved. Six new counties got authority to issue orders for food. fuel and clothing to be paid for from federal funds. The counties and amounts alloted were Keya Paha $150, Buffalo $1,500, Thurston $500, Burt $200, Rock $300, and Garfield $100. Counties besides Lancaster which have received funds previously and were given additional funds for the rest of September were: Dixon $300, Pierce $150, Hayes $200, Hitchcock $200, and Saunders $430.
