There were about 7 fewer sheep and lambs on feed in Nebraska on January 1 this year than last accord ing to E. V. Jones, assistant agricul tural statistician. Lamb feeding in the eleven corn belt states on Jan uary 1 was about 11 smaller than a year ago while the total operations in the corn belt and western states were nearly 13 smaller. There were approximately 775,000 head of sheep and lainb3 on feed in Nebraska on January 1. 19C4. This number is to be compared with 835, 000 on feed a year earlier and 820, 000 on January 1, 1932.

There were very few lambs on feed in the yards near Omaha both this year and last. The decrease in lamb feeding which took place in the United States as a whole was about equally divided be tween the corn belt and western states. The total on feed in the eleven corn belt states of 2.555,000 head was about 11 smaller than a year earlier. The five states east of the Mississippi river and the three states west of the Missouri, river all had smaller numbers on feed this year; each of the three states betwean these two groups had increased numbers from a year earlier. The decrease in Nebraska resulted from a decrease of about 90.000 head in the Scottsblurf area, with some increase in the rest of the state.

Deputy Sheriff J. E. Lancaster was out at Elmvood and vicinity Thurs day afternoon to join Sheriff Ryder and party c Otoe county deputies in the search for the assailants of Mar cus Wessel, aged Otoe county farmer, residing just south of Elmwood. The attack was made on the aged man who lives alone, in an effort to force him to tell the whereabouts of money that the men were convinced the aged man had secreted. After beating and kicking the C5 or 70-year old man, who f ought back valiently as long as his strength en dured, the two men departed from the farm, leaving Mr. Wessel securely tied in a cornfield. The account of the crime as given by the Nebraska City News-Press is as follows: When Mr. Wessel declared over and over again that he had no money on the place the men trussed him up with heavy rope, gagged his mouth with a rag and then carried him out into the cornfield. "Unless you tell us where your money is," one of the men declared, "we're going to pour coal oil over your body and set you on fire." All Mr. Wessel could do was shake his head. Again they threatened to go to the house, get oil from the lantern and add to the tortures they already had inflicted. Apparently discouraged at the man's steadfast denial that he had money hidden in his house ,or on his farm, the two torturers departed. Mr. Wessel was unable to free him self for an hour and a half. Then he made his way to the home of a neigh bor a half mile away, where he spent the night. Mr. Wessel lives alone in his mod est home, which is on a quarter sec tion of land on the county line nine miles north and three miles west of Syracuse, lie has children in Alvo and Palmyra. The torturers came to hi3 home about 8:30 Tuesday night, walked in when they saw their victim sit ting there and stuck a gun , in his face. One of the men was masked and armed. They demanded his money but Mr. Wessel said he had none there. Then the brutality began. The armed marauder "buffaloed" Mr. Wessel over the head with the bar rel of his gun, inflicting a cut. The farmer fought back for several min utes, finally was overpowered by both the strangers after he was struck on the face and cut. After being dragged out into the cornfield and trussed up the farmer was kicked and beaten some more, but he couldn't tell them the hiding place of his money because he had none. Mr. Wessel's farm house is in a lonely part of Otoe county, away from main traveled highways. The man's children told Sheriff Ryder they have convinced their father he shouldn't live there alone any more. EEHEAP.SALS NOW ON The rehearsals of "George In a Jam," the three act comedy drama be ing presented by the Wintersteen Hill Parent-Teacher's association at the high school auditorium on Thursday evening, February 1st, indicate it will be one of the funniest home talent plays produced for some little time. The antics of "Bub" Martin as "Pop Larking," "Wink" Sprecher as "Zeke Stebbins," "Bus" Mumm as "Lena" and Edna Herring as "Sara Jane" are funny enough to even make the Four Marx Brothers take a back seat. The mystery of the stolen jewels and their recovery add to the suspense in such a manner that the solving of this mystery and the comic situations encountered before the jewels are recovered keep the interest at a high pitch at all times. By boosting and seeing this home talent play you are not only getting an evening's entertainment but at the same time supporting a very worthy cause. The children of our communtiy must be educated and to be properly educated our school buildings must be in first class con dition at all times. The proceeds of this play are for completion of repairs to the Wintersteen Hill school. As everybody is concerned in education so should we all be interested in see ing "George in a Jam." From Saturday's Daily F. A. Stohlman, well known resi dent of Louisville, was in the city today and had his subscription to the Journal renewed for the ensuing year.

Davis Plattsmouth, Nebr. MORTALS The spirit of mortals is fleet ing as the tide. Like the grar-s, that withers and i3 laid aside, And the wind Moweih and scat tereth it far, far away. Till influenced by reason and a more perfect day. The calendar is consulted and hangs on the wall. The birds twitter and chirp out of tune as tluy fall, But the spirit of mortals will soon flee away, Like the clouds in the sky, are fleecy and gray. A king may enthrall, a prince may inspire, But the spirit of mortals burn with a desire To scatter abroad seeds, then rest in the thade, Near a babblir-g brook or a peaceful glade. Stop; stop ye mortals with the spirit of lust, This world is not so large since reduced to dust. In the fullness of time you may be able to learn That the earth on its axis con tinues to turn. The spirit of mortals should ever be free, As the light from the beacon flashes on the lee, For when quickened by Love, which overshadows all. It is redeemed from the dark ness that hangs like a pall. Deep in the stillness of tlie for est glen, The shades of night are weaving a web tighter than any ton gue or pen Could portray in words or pic tures of the days of yore. Till the spirit of mortals yield to the old forgotten lore. J. R. T. From Friday's Daily W. A. Woetzel of Greenwood, was in the city today looking after some business matters.
