The white house said President Roosevelt was keep ing hands off party contests in local political campaigns. It issued a memorandum denying reports that the president had any intention of interfering with Postmaster General Farlsy into a fight to oust John F. Curray from Tammany hall in New York. The memorandum further states: "The president will strictly adhere to hi.3 hamls-off policy when and wherever attempts are made to in volve him in local political party con tests." Coincidental!" , it was made known th;? president was taking no part in state political contests. Following the recent appearance it the white house of Representative R.-iili v nf Tv.i n cn n il i f'r, t o fnv flip democratic senatorial nomination in that state, the president talked with Senator Connolly, whose seat Bailey is considering running for. The pres ident W3 understood to have given assurance that he was taking no part in this or similar campaigns. "I have no desire to involve the president in local or state politics," siiiu connauy, alter nis visit, anu am perfectly content lor the people of Texas to pass judgment on my ervices in the senate." The policy laid down was expected to stand for all cases during the com ing campaign. Fight in Tammany Hanks. New York. A movement to de clare the po3t of Tammany chieftain vacant was proposed by forces seek ing to ouct John F. Curray from the leadership of the powerful democratic organization. The action was con sidered by district leaders opposed to the Curry regime as the white house issued a statement saying President Roosevelt would take no part in the controversy. The statement demt. that Postmaster General Farlev would outline the situation to the president. Under the proposed plan, W. P, Kenneally, chairman of the Tam many executive committee, would be asked to call a meeting of that group and announce that the vacancy exist ed. Then the district leaders would ballot for a new chieftain. Curry, whose principal candidates were de feated in the November election by the fusion ticket, returned recently from Florida with word that he did not intend to retire. David A. Ma honey, leader of the first assembly district, called on him Wednesday to demand his resignation. The way for agreement on a new leader ,in case Curry should be oust ed, was believed to have been smooth ed somswhat by reports that friends of Edward J. Ahearn, a leading can didate, would go along in the selec tion of any strong man. Curry nar rowly defeated Ahearn when lis won the post in 1929. TOR SALE Seed oats, 1932 crop.

Meising er, phone 658-W. m22 2tw Tree planting has always been a part of Nebraska's home development program because this state did not have a supply of native timber. The first settlers looked across vast stretches of treeless plains and real ized that homes would have to be protected from the sweeping winds. These pioneers came from eastern states where it had been necessary to clear land of timber before It could be farmed and: therefore many failed to appreciate Nebraska soil be cause it was not producing native timber. Homes located in valleys had little difficulty in establishing their windbreaks but trees on the table land seemed impossible. After a few years cf experimenting, which at that time had to be done by indi viduals, young plantations began to show up, and these farms became the centers for community discussions on tree planting. With this beginning some small nurseries were established and a few individuals began to study the possi bilities of tree planting. The results of this early work are still visible thruout eastern Nebraska, and the communities surrounding old estab lished nurseries are outstanding for their fine groves of trees. At lot of credit for this pioneer work in tree planting is due such men as C. S. Harrison of York, Peter Youngers of Geneva, George Marshall of Arling ton, Carl Sonderegger of Beatrice, and others who on horseback and I later in buggies started the distribu tion of tree planting stock in Ne braska. A farm yard protected from the hot sun in summer and sheltered from the cold winds of winter is certainly i more desirable place to live than one which is barren and windswept. A field shelterbelt of two or three rows of trees is something every farm er should consider. Such a planting will conserve moisture by checking hot winds in summer and by holding snow on the field in winter. These are both important factors in the soil moisture problem in the sections cf the ttate where wind is most se vere. Ask 6CO,C00 Trees. With applications from farmers in every Nebraska county for COO, COO trees on file already, a record num ber cf seedlings and transplants will probably be used in farmstead plant ings this spring. Nearly 200,000 more trees have been applied for to date than at the corresponding time last year. The Chinese elm, a relatively new tree for Nebraska, remains the most popular with farmers, followed by mulberry, American elm, Austrian pine and jack pine. Farmers have found that trees should be planted in loose soil because the first activity of a newly planted tree is to extend its root system, and the top can spread and develop only as the roots spread. If a tree is plant ed in a small hole dug in hard soil, growth is slow. The root system should be spread out and thoroly packed in moist soil. A bucket of wa ter should be poured around each tree immediately after it is planted. The planted area should be kept free from weeds and grass, and the top soil loose, by regular cultivation and hoeing. TO HOLD MASS MEETING All of the farmers within a radius of 5 miles of Murdock are requested to attend a meeting March 31, at 8 o'clock at the Murdock school house. The establishing of a fire zone adja cent to the town and securing equip ment for same will be discussed. ni2C-2tw COMMITTEE. More Acres Put Into Beans and Potatoes Change to Followed the Harked Re Daction in Wheat and Corn Acreage in State. Why Children Need a Lipd Laxative Marked changes in crop acreages are in prospect this year if the spring planting survey intentions are car ried out, rays the state and federal division of agricultural statistics. The reduction in acreage will be heavy in c orn, spring wheat and bar ley, but there will bo a marked in crease in the acreage of potatoes and beans. According to the returns from the planting intentions survey, the corn acreage will be 81 percent of last year; spring wheat, 5G percent; oats, 100 percent; barley, SO percent; flax, 100 percent; grain sorghum, 100 per cent; tame hay, SG percent; potatoes, 117 percent and beans, 130 percent. No estimate of winter wheat or rye was made. A survey a month ago in dicated some abandonment of win ter wheat. The change in corn acreage is due largely to the participation in the corn-hog reduction plan. Altho the acreage of oats will be about normal, a heavy decrease in barley is in pros pect. Last year's acreage was high, due to the replacement of winter wheat with barley in western Ne braska. However, the harvested acre age was not so large because of the extremely low yields, near failure and cutting of barley for hay. The marked reduction in spring wheat acreage is due partly to the result of the heat reduction pro gram. Last year's acreage because it was sown to replace abandoned winter wheat. A survey made about Feb. 1 indicated a 7 percent aban donment in winter wheat. If the abandonment is not above normal the acreage left for harvest will be larg er than lat year because of the ex tremely heavy abandonment of the 19C2 and 1933 winter wheat crops. A large increase in the acreage of potatoes is in prospect. If farmers carry out their intentions, the acre age will be 17 percent greater than last year. Owin gto the extremely short crop last year prices have been good and as a rule a large acreage follows a year of good prices. Edible beans with an increase of 30 percent shows a largo percentage of increase than any other crop. The acreage of tame hay is 4 per cent lower. .Last year's acreage was increased considerably due to cutting small grain crops for hay. Flax and grain sorghum acreages will be about the same as last year. The returns on land values indi cated an increased price. It is doubt ful if there has been any material rise in the price of land, but prices are somewhat higher and the tend ency is upward. No doubt greater confidence and more hopeful aspect accounts for the higher values report ed rather than any actual material increase. The demand for land is better and if the present more opti mistic view prevails, higher land values may be expected. t GREENWOOD Police Judge W. A. Armstrong was a business visitor in Plattsmouth last Saturday. Henry Wilkins was a visitor in Ashland and also at Plattsmouth, having some business matters to look after. Mr. and Mrs. Walter G.

George Trunkenbolz, who is gen erally very busy with the work that comes to his shop, has added anoth or task in that he has commenced to sharpen lawn mowers. Probably a little early, but it is better to be that way than too late, and you know the old grass will be popping up in the near future. Thomas O. Pollard was a visitor in Waverly last Wednesday, going to make the purchase cf a piece of farming machinery which he desired and was in need of.

A properly prepared liquid laxative brings a perfect movement. There is no discomfort at the time and no weakness after. You don't have to give the child "a double dose" a day or two later. Can constipation be safely relieved in children? "Yes!" say medical men. "Yes!" say many mothers who have followed this sensible medical advice: 1. Select a good liquid laxative. 2. Give the dose you find suited to the system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose until the bowels are moving regularly without aid. An approved liquid laxative (one that is widely used for children) is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The mild laxative action of this excellent preparation is the best form of help for children and grown-ups, too. The dose can be regulated for any age or need.

Silently, he hand ed Kantas a receipt and started out with the jug. "By the way," he asked, "how much do you pay for this stuff " "I make it myself," replied Kan tas.
