Robert Coaster was assisting at the Rehmeier elevator during the rush of work incident to the reception of corn from a number of shelling outfits that were busy during a portion of the week. The present crop of corn is getting so far along that it is crowd ing the farmers for crib room and on thi.s account many are shelling the old crop and selling it in order to make room in their cribs for the new 1933 crop.

Miss Mary Anderson Improving Miss Mary Anderson, a sister of Mrs. Eugene Barkhurst, who makes her home at Bushnell in the western portion of the state, and who has been critically ill with her recovery a matter of grave doubt, is now im proving. Mrs. Barkhurst and husband, who went to the sister's bedside some two weeks ago, with her continuing Improvement, were able to return home a few days ago. Are Graveling the Detour Tne Ossenkop contractors, with a force of men and trucks began the unloading and delivering of some eighty cars of gravel to the newly graded road which is to be used as a detour, extending from the farm of Henry L. Clapp to the corner near the farm of Edward Carr, and which will connect two other highways that are already graveled and give a con tinuous graveled road from the cor ner south of Elmwood, north to the town of Elmwood, thence west to a corner two miles north of Eagle, and south from there into Eagle to again pick up the O street road. This route will be used as a detour during the time grading and paving work Is in progress on the 7 mile stretch on the O street from Eagle east to the Elmwood corner. If the weather is favorable it is hoped to get this stretch improved and ready for use before winter sets in, al though that seems well nigh impos sible. When that i3 completed there will be left only a 14 mile stretch cf unpaved road on East O street and that will doubtless be provided for In the early spring lettings. Work of graveling the detour road is being done by hand, with a force of eight men in the car shoveling the gravel into the trucks. They work six hour shifts, with a maximum of 30 hours per week per man. Two shifts are employed at the present time, af fording work for a large number of men. Has Moved to Alvo Turner M. McKinnon and wife, who were farming north and a little west of Alvo for a number of years past have moved to town and are occupying the residence property of Clarence Curyea, who now makes his home in Lincoln. Donald McKinnon will remain on the farm and look af ter things there while Mr. and Mrs. McKinnon will make their home here. Celebrates 90th Anniversary The Louise Rosenow, better known as uranamoiner itosenow, was j . . n i years of age on September 20, and as a fitting recognition of the passing of the anniversary of her birth, the family, consisting of some seven sons gathered at the home of August Rosenow, of Lincoln, where they cele brated the occasion in a fitting man lier. There were present for the oc casion C. P. Rosenow and family, of Alvo; W. F. Rcsenow and family, of Elmwood. as well as Edward Rosenow and family, residing south of Elm wood; Frank Rosenow, of Murdock; Ferdinand Rosenow and family, of Clay Center, Kansas. Herman Rose now, who makes his home at Howard, Kansas, was so sick that he was not able to be present and Emil Rosenow cf Elmwood was not able to get there on account of being so busy with his work. Mrs. Rosenow was born in Ger many where she spent many years of her life and was united in marriage with Franz Rosenow, they continuing in Germany until after six of their sons were born, when they came to America and moved to Cass county, making their home here for many years. The husband passed away a few years ago. Corn Silage a Good Ration for Calves Combines Well With Alfalfa or Cottonseed Cake for Winter reeding. Hay Answering inquiries from out state. Prof. R. R. Thalman of the Nebraska college of agriculture sa3 calves can be wintered satisfactorily upon corn silage and alfalfa hay or corn silagea nd cottonseed cake. There seems to be a great deal of in terest in wintering cattle. Experiments conducted at the agricultural' college show that calves have produced from 1 1-2 to 1.9 pounds gain on cut silage and one pound of cottonseed cake. With corn stover silage, farmers can except, not to exceed, 75 percent as much gain as where normal corn silage is used. Livestock producers find that steer calves consume 2 1-2 to 3 tons of sliage per head in 200 days. The av erage of three years work at the Ne braska experiment station shows that calvese on silage and cottonseed cake will consume thirty-five to forty pounds of silage per head daily. Nebraska farmers have shown a decided interest in feeding silage to calves this year due to the "spotted" condition of the 1933 corn crop. Sev eral novel ways of feeding the silage have been suggested by various farm ers. Horace Traulsen of Paxton plans to put corn stover in the silo to feed to wintering calves and the ears into another cilo to finish the calves on. ine plan. However, entails more work. Thalman says the feeding value of ear corn silage is about equal, pound for pound, to ground ear corn. It makes a fairly good fattening feed and where fed in sufficient quan tities to keep the silage fresh during the cummer should make an excel lent fattening ration. FREIGHT RATE UPHELD Washington. The interstate com merce commission dismissed a com plaint of the Alliance Motor com pany, )t Alliance, Neb., against the Burlington railroad and others that rates on gasoline from Arkansas City and Coffeyville, Kas., to Alliance were unreasonable. The commission de nied the freight rates violated the long and short haul provisions of the interstate commerce act. DEAD ANIMALS WANTED Call The South Omaha Rendering Works. S. Cramer, Tel. 4626. sl.8-tfw VCTU Manual To Assist Work in Public Schools Syllabus of Antialcohol' Instruction on Way for General Use To Teach Teachers. Evanston, 111. Practical aid to temperance teaching in the public schools of the United States is being planned for the coming year by Miss Bertha Palmer, who on Nov. 1 will become director of scientific temper ance instruction of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union. An educator of many years' ex perience, six of them as superintend ent of public instruction of North Dakota, Miss Palmer understands the problems of the busy teacher and Is setting out to meet them. Her first work, she said in an interview, will be to prepare and have published a syllabus of anti-alcohol instructions to give much-needed information on the subject to those educators who believe in teaching temperance, who respect the state laws requiring it, but who do not know how to begin or what to teach. Her second ob jective will be to establish training centers where teachers, public lec turers, and directors of young peo ple's groups can obtain breif, Inten sive Instruction in this subject. Just now Miss Palmer is giving her attention to planning the syllabus which she hopes to have published and sold at a nominal cost by the W. C. T. U. She has spent the cur rent year at the headquarters of the Scientific Temperance Federation at Boston, studying the facts about alcohol as told by laboratory and oth er studies. These fact3 she intends to outline in a 50-page manual, giv ing references to more extensive writ ings on the subject. The plan of the syllabus, as Miss Palmer has drafted it, is to begin with the facts about the source and nature of alcohol; to continue with an analysis of its four-fold harmful effect; to show how it deceives the drinker; to explain laboratory tests which are the source of current knowledge of the harm done by al cohol; and to end with a statement of the reasons for total abstinence. The manual would not be graded, but would simply furnish the ma terial needed by all those who draft curriculums for the different grades. Miss Palmer expects the syllabus to serve state departments of education, teachers colleges, denominational boards of education, institutions like the Young Men's Christian Associa tion and Young Women's Christian Association and any other curriculum-makers. The material is to be presented in nontechnical language. Miss Palmer finds that statements couched in scientific terms are hard for young sters to grasp. Take a sentence like this, which she found in a textbook on her subject: "These tests prove that no appreciable amount of alco hol ccn be taken into the system without a correspondingly deleter ious effect." Turned into simple Eng lish by Miss Palmer it comes out: "Much alcohol, much injury; less alcohol, less injury; no alcohol, no injury," a sentence which means something to an eighth grader. The study centers, Miss Palmer's second project, are intended to teach teachers. The facts about alcohol are so easily learned, she believes, that two-day institutes would be suffi cient to train teachers and public speakers in the latest findings on the subject. She hopes to conduct some of these study courses from her Evanston headquarters after she comes here to live in November. Her work may also Jake her about the country. DISSATISFIED WITH RELIEF Valley, Neb. Announcement that Douglas county might Boon withdraw from the joint emergency relief and a charge that the community chest 3 "a racket to a certain extent," were made by County Commissioners Riha and Jacobberger under cross examina tion by Dr. Jennie Callfas before the sixth annual convention of the Doug las county federation of women'e clubs here Thursday. Riha "deplored" the confusion be tween Omaha authorities and the county in handling emergency cases. While being, questioned by Doctor Callfas Riha said: "I have always contended that the community chest to a certain extent is just a racket to be perfectly frank." Jacobberger here interjected: "We can't give you all the information we'd like to because we would be razzed." Journal Want-Ads get results I good slogan to observe. OURDPCK ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. L. Neitzel enjoyed a visit at the home of their daughter and family, at Havelock, during the past week. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Craig were in Lincoln, last Friday, where they were looking after some shopping and Ed die was getting some barber supplies. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stroy departed last Thursday for Merriman, where they will spend the coming two weeks at the home-of Mrs. Stroy's parents, enjoying a fine vacation. Mrs. Ida Gallop, of Omaha, and John Krempnln, of Norfolk, and their families were in Murdock on last Tuesday to attend the funeral of the late Sophie Krempnin, who died In Beatrice last Sunday. A. J. Bauer and wife were visitors in Weeping Water during fair week, being guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Boldin, and as well were enjoying the fair, which they say was a very fine exhibition. Mrs. Henry A. Tool was a visitor in Weeping Water on last Wednesday afternoon, where she was attending the meeting of the Federated Wom en's clubs of Cass county. There were a large number present from all over the county and a splendid time was had by the ladies. Edwin McHugh'and David Eichoff, who has been here all summer from his home in Oklahoma, departed last Friday for the western part of the state, where they went to work in the potato harvest area, as the dig ging of that important crop is under way at this time in that section. Henry Heineman and wife were in Plattsmouth Friday of last week, at which place they looked after some matters of business and took in the King Korn karnival which was be ing held, includingthe industrial pa rade put on that day, which they say was very fine. Messrs. A. J. Tocl, Bryan McDon aid and Lacey McDonald departed on last Tuesday for Fremont, where they went to enjoy a session of fishing and camping out. This compelled Mrs. Hannah McDonald to look after the drug store, while Mrs. A. J. Tool was taking care of the customers at the hardware store. Attending Century of Progress John Schlaphoff( and his two sis ters and a brother, accompanied by Loretta Ruge.; departed last Friday for Chicago, where they expencted to spend an entire week at the great exposition that has but about one more month to run. Enjoyed Century of Progress Miss Elsa Bornemeier, operator at the Murdock telephone exchange, who with three young ladies from other towns served by the Lincoln Tele phone and Telegraph company, were awarded trips to the World's Fair in Chicago for leading in a recent cam paign for installation of telephones, has been having a wonderful time in the big city, according to word re ceived by friends here. She says the exposition is splendid and well worth seeing. Thos'e who accompanied her on the trip were Misses Emma Siek jost and Lillian Ringberg, of Eustis, and Miss Levita Ilartwick, of Friend. They will doubtless find their time at the fair much too short to permit of seeing everything, as many say it would take two or three months to visit all the exhibits and thoroughly assimilate the hundreds of education al and entertaining features. Too Warm for the Kiddies On Monday of last week, which was an exceptional day with the wind blowing like a tempest and as hot as 1 well, never mind, hot enough, the kiddles who attend the Murdock school could not study and so during the afternoon it was deemed best to dismiss school and let them go home, where they could keep cool.

The storm troopers escorted fourteen wit nesses here from Berlin to testify in the court's attempt to probe an al leged communist plot behind the reichstag fire.

(My eoramUyiOB expires Sept. IS, 1838) Nebraska Farm Men Lauded for Cut in Acreage Secretary of Agriculture Wallao Says This State and Kansas Set Pace on Wheat. Washington. Secretary Wallace requested wheat growers of eleven states to join in the wheat acreage reduction program, warning that even if the plan succeeds the nation is likely to produce a surplus of the grain next year. He said that 9G percent of Kansas farmers already have signed applications to take part in the program for cutting plantings 15 percent next year in return for cash benefits, and that 97 percent of Nebraska's farmers will sign. Pointing to' these states as "splen did examples of the reception of the plan," .Wallace said that "there is urgent need for such acceptance in other states. We cannot expect na ture to solve our (national wheat problem with another crop disaster such as we had this year. Even if we got a 100 percent signup and took 9 million acres out of production, normal yields, on reducd acreage would give U3 more than 700 million bushels of wheat next year," Wal lace said. "Current estimates show that the carryover a year from now will be much larger than the normal should be. With the fullest success of the wheat market program, there is likely to be wheat from the 1934 crop to add to the surplus. Our hope lies in the greatest possible accept ance of the plan. Our reports indi cate that success of the plan demands that farmers in states where the campaign is still in progress co-oper ate to the same extent as farmers in the leading wheat states." Wallace's message was directed to farmers of Washington, Idaho, Mon tana, Minnesota, Ohio, Indiana, Okla homa and Texas, where many coun ties were reported to be lagging: a "The reports from Kansas, Ne braska and South Dakota are inspir ing," Wallace said. "They should be matched by equal effort ,in other states if the wheat campaign is to achieve its purpose of substantially controlling 1934 production.". ;Nebraska has reported ,916,406 acres covered, with -applications for contracts, from farmers controlling 400,000 additional acres expected to come in. - Tlie; three, year average acreage there is. 3,633,700.'

A survey of Treas ury estimates on the debt payments due this government Dec. 15 from European nations Thursday showed the United States will be out nearly $300,000,000 if the debtor nations make no larger payments than they did June 15. ' With the start of the debt revision parade of the nondefaulting nations a week away, American officials con ceded privately there seems little hope at present of any largerpay ments being received in December than were made in June unless a new settlement was reached in the mean time, calling for a lump sum payment. Even in the event such a settle ment was reached, it could not be come effective until acted upon by congress and that body does not meet until Jan. 3, more than two weeks after the December payments fall due. Thus, the most that can ve expect ed outside lump sum offers toward a final settlement ere - the so-called "token" payments such as were made in June.
