Cars County Eest Place to Reside Phillip Linch. who has been a resi dent of the vicinity of Alvo for more than half a century, and prior to that lived in the eastern portion of the county, declare3 there i3 no better place to live than right here, as there is always a crop. Ilis advice is not to go wandering over the face of the earth searching for a better place to reside, as none will be found. He has estimated the annual corn production for the county in excess of four mil lion bushels, which has an important part in the fattening of live stock and' providing food products made there from more than sufficient to feed our people. Mr. Linch first came to Cass coun ty in iy, residing tnat year near Eight Mile Grove and picking the first corn harvested in the state that fall.

Tests Model Rocket for Strat osphere Hop Cleveland its Socket Society, First of Kind, Backing the Experiment. Cleveland. Plans to shoot a self propelled rocket 15 miles into the air fox purposes of scientific research were disclosed when Ernst Loebell, j German engineer and designer, test-i ed with apparent success a minia-j ture model of the rocket's terrifical ly powerful "motor." The Cleveland Rocket society, be lieved to be the first organization of its kind in this country, conducted the test on the suburban estate of Carl II. Ilanna. whose son, Ted, is one of the members. Loebell's miniature motor is six inches long and an inch and a half in diameter, bullet-shaped and hol low. The power plant, a combustion chamber only, with no moving parts, receives oxygen through one tube, and gasoline under 250-pound pres sure supplied by a tank of nitrogen, frora another. Gnarded by Steel Shield. Protected from possible death in the event of an explosion. Loeebell stood behind a steel shield to ad just the valves. The other witnesses remained behind a wooden barricade, except Ted Hanna, who pressed the ignition switch. As he did so the highly explosive mixture of gasoline and oxygen ignit ed with a loud blast, and the cylinder, fastened inside a testing rack, leap ed upward the length of its mooring. Tongues of fiame Ehot from the ex haust, and then as Loebell readjusted the valves the noi3e became a con tinuous roar. Had the motor been fastened in a rocket large enough to carry fuel tanks of proportionate size, Loebell said, its power, theoretically, would have been sufficient to carry the pro jectile five miles. Plan Stratosphere Test. The test was so successful, he add ed, that another model, much larger, will be constructe dat once. After the larger model i3 fully test ed, the attempt to penetrate the strat osphere by rocket then iwll be at tempted probably next summer the designer said. Xo attempt will be made to make the rocket large enough to carry a men, but it will be designed to carry a small cargo, such as scientific apparatus or mail. Hanna said the Smithsonian insti tution and the Guggenheim Aeronau tical foundation will supply scientific instruments for the stratosphere Sight. Instead of gasoline, for that flight, the club possibly will choose propane, at the suggestion of Lieu tenant Commander T. G. W. Settle,' one of its active members, who a few months ago penetrated the stratos phere and reached an altitude of more than CO thousand feet in a balloon. WILLIAM STEELE APPOINTED Omaha.

Stirred by a recent dis trict court ruling, local attorneys are discussin gthe possibilities of Ne braska cities becoming rivals to Reno in the divorce business if the su preme court upholds the ruling. Judge Sears ruled in a divorce suit that the filing of an "appearance" by a non-resident was sufficient to give the local courts jurisdiction. Several lawyers rointed out that, if the higher court sustains the rul ing, it may permit persons from other states to come to Nebraska and ob tain a divorce in five weeks. The decree, of course, would not be entered as final for six months after the decree is entered, but residence is not required during that period, they said, and laws in many other states would not prevent immediate remarriage.

(My commission expires Oct. 13, 1938.) I Move to Launch a Third Party is Given New Life Mayor LaGuardia of New York Sug gested as the Leader, But In dicates Hot Impressed. New York. The movement for a third political party gained momen tum in conferences of leaders of the farmer-labor political federation. Thomas R. Amlie, the chairman of the federation and former insurgent republican representative from Wis consin, mapped out a program of ac tivity as he prepared for his group's first big bid for eastern support, the mass meeting Thursday night in Cooer union. Amlie and Alfred M. Bingham, young editor and executive secretary of the federation, strongly indicated their group would welcome Mayor LaGuardia as the leader of a national farmer-labor movement. "In his long service in congress." Amlie said. "Mayor LaGuardia typi fied more than anyone else the farmer-labor spirit, and in doing so he always had in mind the interest not of a small constituency but of the entire nation." The federation asked the mayor to address its mass meet ing. Standing by his assertion that he would not engage in politics during his administration. Mayor LaGuardia icfused the invitation and passed it on to his commissioner of accounts, Paul Rlanshard, for years a prime figure in socialist and labor move ments. The federation was formed in Chi cago after a meeting of leaders in farm, labor and independent political fields called at the suggestion of Dr. John Dewey's league for independent political action. Dr. Dewey, the Co lumbia philosopher and political scientist, is honorary chairman of the federation. As outlined by Amlie, the federa tion's work for the present looks to ward co-ordinating and fostering the third party spirit among farmers and laborers in the hope of electing mem- fbes in congress in 1934. The presi-! dential year of 193G is constantly in the federation's mind, however. Both Amlie and Bingham, who is a son of former Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, expressed the hope all the various farmer-labor groups in the nation would be in one camp by then. The federation officials were criti cal of the continental congress of workers and farmers, spying its lead ership was too closely associated with Norman Thomas and the socialist party. "However, our aims are down the same road," Amlie said.
