Ca3s County. 18th Amendment is Voted Out of Constitution Pennsylvania, Ohio anu Utah Give Ifccessary States for Eepeal; Carolina Stay Dry. The eighteenth amendment was apparently voted out of the constitu tion on the face of returns from Utah, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Repeal forces stepped far into the lead in Ohio. Utah and Pennsylvania. Approval of the amendment to remove prohibition from the constitution by these three etates would bring to the necessary thirty-six the number that have voted to ratify. In the day's voting, however, North and South Carolina, the one by a big majority and the other by a thin fig ure, appeared to have definitely re co:ded themselves in favor of reten tion of the dry laws. Ohio was giving repeal a majority cf 600,000 votes. Pennsylvania was voting to eject the national dry laws by six to one. Utah's balloting was running closer, but the ratio was standing at about three to one. North Carolina Strongly Dry. Charlotte, N. C. .oriu Carolina rejected the proposal for repeal of the federal prohibition amendment and became the first state definitely placed in the "dry" column. With early returns from all quarters of the state showing substantial and in many counties overwhelming dry ma jories, Walter Murphy, field marshal for repeal forces, Tuesday night con ceded victory to the prohibitionists. Partial returns showed the dry forces leading by a two to one majority. Cale K. Burgess, chairman of the united dry forces, asserted his infor mation indicated atjeast ninety of the 120 delegates to be named by the state's 100 counties would be against repeal. Unofficial returns from 786 precincts of 1,831 gave 69, 416 for repeal, and 138,014 against. Scuth Carolina Also Dry. Columbia, S. C. By a narrow mar gin South Carolina apparently voted against prohibition repeal on the basis of unofficial returns from more than two-thirds of the state. Romul us Reese, state manager for the Asso ciation Against the Eighteenth 1 Amendment; eonced,e3.defeat for the repeal cause, altho the unofficial re turns showed the drys leading by only a slim majority. Returns from 850 of 1,220 pre cincts in South Carolina gave for prohibition repeal 31,450, against re peal 33.12S, a lead for the drys of 1,678 votes. State Journal. JTNIOB.

Heine Economics Council Meeting A tentative program for the women of the county was outlined at a meet ing of the home economics council, Wednesday, November 1st. Subjects, under consideration for short time projects included making of hominy, re-caning old chairs, sewing machine attachments and beef cutting and cookery. Many suggestions for lesson material for the 1935 major project were also made and discussed. In many cases these were suggestions for project club members being passed on by their representative, the group chair man. This council is made up of the county and group chairmen and wom en member of the Farm Bureau Board. Those attending the meeting included Mrs. R. A. Kuehn, Mrs. Oscar Zink and Mrs. H. A. Tool of Murdock; Mrs. Orill Allen, Eagle; Miss Evelyn Wolph, Nehawka; Mrs. Henry Smith, Weeping Water and Mrs. G. R. Eveland, Elmwood. Miss Mary-Ellen Brown, state extension agent, women's work, was also pres ent. Mrs. Everett Spangler, Murray, and Mrs. Albert Shelhorn, Louisville, the two other group chairmen, were unable to be present. Thanksgiving Are you planning a Thanksgiving program at school or in the commun ity? If so Extension Circular 544 contains suggestions for a paper, a few poems and a short playlet, which would add much to any program. This bulletin is available at the Farm Bureau office. Bees Make Nearly 200 Lbs. Honey A check up on the production of the five demonstration hives at the Chas. Warga apiaries Thursday show ed that the average amount of ex tracted honey from each colony was 189 pounds. O. S. Bare, extension entomologist, was at the meeting and compared the results of his methods with that used on the other colonies. The five dem onstration colonies averaged only a few pounds more than Mr. Warga's colonies. However, Mr. Warga is an outstanding honey producer and an improvement on his methods would necessarily be very good. Mr. Bare emphasized the importance of enough food being stored to carry the bees through the winter. If they have not stored enough they should be fed and now is a good time to do this. Packing the bees for the winter was the most important subject brought out at the demonstration. The use of inner covers and how to wrap the hives in building paper was demonstrated at the meeting. Start Christmas Plans Early Some 675 women, members of 37 project clubs, are already making plans for Christmas. Suggestions for home made toys, games and practi cal gifts for all members of the fam ily are being presented to club mem bers by the project leaders. The goal'thi3 year is to keep this Christmas the merriest kind of a Christmas by setting one's own atti tude right, catching on and holding to the real Christmas spirit which will mean more in making the fam ily Christmas a successful one than any amount of money could possibly do. Krugs Corn Yields Well This Year Fred Seifer, representative of the Agronomy Department at the College, was in the county last weak working with the county agent in checking the yields of 15 farmers entered in the corn yield contest. All of these farmers had ten or msrt crs ef Kruys earn "they were tryics. A comparison of the yield of the Krugs with their other corn showed a total average yield for Krugs of 58 bushels per acre, as com pared to 54 bushels per acre on their own corn. The Krugs yielded decidedly more on 13 of the farms while on two of them it made less. Most all of the men were well pleased with this new corn and they will probably like it better when it is shelled as its shelling percent is high. Four yields were checked that made more than 70 bushels per acre. 4-H Entries at the Ak-Sar-Ben Show The 4-H entries or rat stock from Cass county for the Ak-Sar-Ben show that starts November 11, includes 15 baby beeves, 15 fat barrows and 12 fat wethers.
