Timlin was rewarded with some twenty bushels to the acre on Lis wheat harvest, having combined the same last week. Harry Tolan of Havelock was lock ing after seme business matters i Alvo Wednesday cf last week, driv ing over to his former home town in Lis auto. Dan "Wilson of. Eagle, a painter and decorator, was a visitor in Alvo for a short time last Wednesday and was locking after seme business matters while here. iue imiiin ooys were ccmDinmg their wheat south of Alvo and plac ing the same in bins on Wednesday and Thursday of last week and had a very fine piece of wheat for this year. A merry crowd consisting- of Art Dinges and wife, Mr. and Mrs. A. Ii Stromer and Carl D. Ganz and wife were over to the Ak-Sar-Ben show at Omaha Monday evening and say the show was great. John Banning has improved the of fioe at the lumber yard and which is also used by Mr. Rehmeier for his scale office by painting the interior which gives the office a very neat and pleasing appearance. On last Saturday Mr. and Mrs John Canning were guests at the wedding of Miss Ileafey of Nebraska City, their friend, and Stuart Egen berger of Omaha, son of L. B. Egen- berger of Plattsmcuth. Fred II. Gorder of Weeping Water, was a visitor in the vicinity of Alvo and was having some work done on the roads last week. A culvert was rebuilt near the home of Frank Cook by George Dennis of Weeping Wa ter. John E. Woods, merchant of Elm wood and formerly a farmer near Alvo as well as being engaged in business here and George W. Bless ing, publisher of the Elmwood Leader-Echo, -were in Alvo early last week where they were looking after busi ness matters for a short time and were also meeting their many friends here. Charles E. Cock of Plattsmouth, an uncle of Frank E. Cook, arrived in Alvo and when he met Simon Rehmeier, who thought that the un cle wanted to go to the country, took him by the arm and led him over to the V-S and stepped on the gas and j in a short time they were at the Frank Cock home, where the uncle and nephew and family enjoyed a very fine visit. , Mrs. Frank Ilempke was driving from town and was just entering their home from the highway when the car driven by Fred Stohlman came along and attempting to pass the oth er car unobserved that the car driven by Mrs. Ilempke was turning into the gateway. Mr. Stohlman endeavored to avoid striking the other car but they being so near each other it was not possible. Some damage was done but no one injured except be ing shaken up.

She is be ing cared for at the home by Miss Grace Kitzel as her nurse. The Wind Storm. The high wind swept over Cass county last Tuesday evening, found much to do with the trees, barns. houses and garages and tumbled many of them over. The home of H. L.. liornemeier was torn up consid erably, a roof removed from the porch and the gable of the house disarrang ed, while at the home of L. L. Cay- ill the rcof was partially blown away, as well as a private garage be ing blown away. New Merchant in Charge. Earl Eennett, the new merchant, who is succeeding the film of Bark- hurst and Sen in the mercantile line. being very busy with his harvesting and other farm work. Mr. Barkhurst and son have kindly agreed to re maining for a short time that Mr. Bennett and the new salesman of he family may become acquainted with the stock of goods. However, Mr. Bennett is in charge and con ducting the business. Has Gocd Wheat. Among those who have combined their wheat and marketed the same is Orest Cook, which when tested showed C2 pounds to the struck bushel and made fourteen bushels to the acre. This is a year when it looked like there would be a failure, but the yield is considered good, tak ing into consideration the conditions. Of course we all would like to grow jnore wheat, but thi.3 goes a long ways to feed the people. L. M. Sr.av eley and Lyle Miller have combined and marketed their wheat and this early in June, getting returns from their crop. Henry McCartney Dies Near Elmwood Henry McCartney, well known in this vicinity and also well advanced in years, died at the home of a rela tive south of Elmwood on last Mon day and was buried at Elmwood on last Tuesday, the funeral being con ducted by the Rev. Robert J. Mc Kenzie of the Alvo Methodist church. A number of people of Alvo were over to pay their last tribute of honor to this aged citizen, among whom were Charles Godbey. L. D. Mullen and Turner M. McKinncn. Seek Safer Crossing:. Harking back to the tragedy when number cf people were killed at the railrcad crossing near the Alvo railroad station, and which has been a source of concern since, to prevent recurrance of the loss of life, both the railway company and the citi- enry are seeking for a safer way. A viaduct has been suggested on the main street, passing over the entire set cf tracks, thence running north o the highway which passes Alvo on the west. Another plan suggested by some is the closing of one or the other of the crossings passing each ?ide cf the Rehmeier elevator, which are within a few hundred feet of sach other, and the installation of an electric signal system. In the case of the roads it is a ques tion of which one to close. To clcse Drought has ruined many Tarm and home gardens in the central vest, but it is not too late, even now, ;ays W. R. Beattie of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, to plant ate gardens that should yield a juantity of good food for summer, fall, and winter. Tomatoes, late abbage, celery, potatoes, snap beans, md turnips are staple garden crops vhich, if planted soon, should give jood returns if there is normal rain fall during the remainder of the eason. It may also be possible, he .ays, to grow fall crops of spinoch, cale, snap beans, broccoli, peas and urnips. "The important consideration in .his whole matter of planting gar len seeds under dry conditions" says Mr. Beattie, "is to have the soil rather firm so that the moisture that t does contain will rise to the sur face. When planting seeds in com paratively dry soil, it will always pay to press the soil firmly over the eeds, also to cover the seeds some what deeper than would ordinarily e desirable. For example, in plant- ng snap beans under extremely dry renditions, it may be advisable to :over the seed as much as 2 inches, .lthough with an abundance of mois ure they should not be covered more .ban one-half to three fourths of an neh. Beet and carrot seeds are nor mally covered less than one-half nch, hut in dry soil they may be. jovered three-fourths to one inch urtrj. xi lain lyjL :j v o ucc J tail 11 , t is desirable to rake off some cf he soil from over the seeds so that they may come through. "In dry periods in addition to makincr the soil 'ne and firm tor slanting, the germination of the ;ceds may often be aided by spiinkl- ng a little wr.ier iu the furrows in which the seeds are planted. For .'sample, after opening the furrows and scattering the seeds, sprinkle Hie furrows thoroughly with water, cover, and nrm the son over the seeds. This method will, as a rule, give an almost perfect germination even in Iry weather. "Another method is to laj- strips )f wood or narrow boards over the ows after sowing and covering the seeds. Strips of old muslin or bur- p spread over the rows will help retain moisture and get the seeds started. In any case, if a covering is placed over the rows, it must be removed before the seedlinsrs break through. Otherwise the plants will be deformed by coming in contact with the covering material. "Watering the surface over the rows of freshly-planted seeds is, as a rule, not to be recommended, be- the north crossing would mean the closing of the highway which passes bause it causes the soil to bake and frcm the south in its countrv traffic prevents the seeds from breaking water their gardens, and in that case the best results may usually be ob tained by running the water in little furrows alongside the rows of plants. The sprinkling of the soil has a ten- cy to cause it to bake and then out again quickly. Moisture is lost by ovapcration, and after each irrigation it is easy to dray dry soil over the wet soil to conserve mois ture. "Many gardeners make the mis take of completely discontinuing all forms of cultivation in their gardens during dry weather. Where the soil is kept stirred frequently enough to keep weeds down, but not too deep ly, crops will ofUn make a fair growth even under moisture defici ency conditions. "Insects are frequently more trou blesome during dry periods than at times when there is a normal supply of moisture and require special at tention. Diseases are rarely as trou blesome in dry periods as when the weather is moist or wet. but atten tion to rpraying and other means of controlling leaf diseases may often greatly improve the crop. 'I ins is especially true of tomatoes and ecl cry. Leaf hoppers are frequently very troublesome in potatoes ar.tl beans, and it is necessary to con trol them by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. "Although the prospects for good summer and fall gardens may b' rel atively poor in many section of the drought area, yet by careful atten tion and perservcrance, quantities of vegetables for home use may be grown during the remainder of the sea son, and in case there should be abundant late summer and fall rains, excellent fall gardens wil be possi ble. The idea should be to continue planting and to give the crops the best possible care of off.'et to some degree the destructive e fleet of the drought. Few home gardeners in the drought area are justified in giving up their gardens entirely." ISKELfiAS .-. . FOnif0I1ESiBEYOnO!TIIE!

The 'techni cally illegal" landing at the airport here Thursday of William Randolph Hearst and his party was the subject of an official report to Paris. The plane remained or.ly half an hour and the American publisher and his friends rtayed inside while gasoline v.-as leaded. Customs officials de manded papers and found visas were lacking. The pilct," in accordance with French regulations, sought and ibtained permission of local author ities to proceed to London, declaring the landing was due to conditions out cf his control. An crder expelling Hearst from France still stands out, officials said, would not be enforced.

The field of wheat of Elmer West has about come to the normal yield as the very conservative estimates of bcth the owner and many of the neighboring farmers, place the yield at as high as 25 bushels to the acre. Assisted at Funeral. Vernon Bennett and Mrs. Vera Lancaster were ever to Elmwood on last Wednesday where they went to assist at the funeral of the late Henry McCartney, who passed away near there last week. Vernon went to sing while Mrs. Lancaster played the accompaniment at the piano. Mrs. E. M. Stone Very Sick. Mrs. E. M. Stone is very poorly at their country heme where she is confined to her bed by a severe Tiemorhhage of the bowles, the attack coming last Sunday and being of such severity that the family were very apprehensive as to her recovery. It Enjoyei Quilting Bee. Twelve of the enterprising women of Alvo were gathered at the home of Mrs. S. C. Bcyles of Alvo last week where they engaged in the tacking and quilting of a number cf quilts, and how the nimble fingers did fly into the work. Not alone was it work for all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But they enjoyed a very sociable time visiting as the hours slipped past and being entertained by the genial hostess with a very de lightful lunch. HONOB, JIBS. BRADLEY Kearney, Xeb. Mrs. Taul Brad ley of Omaha was the guest of honor at a statewide Parent Teachers as sociation banquet here Wednesday night. She i3 state president cf the organization. She spoke again at a meeting of the conference Friday morning. The general subject under consideration at the conference is "The Forgotten Child," and his fu ture with stress being on the finan cial status of schools and consequent abandonment of extension work. About a hundred persons attended Wednesday morning's session. through. A mulch of very line thoroughly rottel manure over the seed rows is effective for holding moisture, and protecting seeds fro extreme heat. "Gardeners in the drought-stricken area may -well take a leson from their brothers in the great plains area where the rainfall is normally very light. These dry-land garden ers have learned that they must not crowd their plants, that rows must be spaced farther apart than in the humid regions, and that fewer plants may be grown in each hill, or to a ,iven length of row, than in the sec tions- where there is more rainfall Where sweet corn would normally be planted in rows three and one-half feet apart with the hills three feet apart in the row, and three stalks to the hill, under drought conditions the rows should be made five feet apart, and the hill either about four feet apart with three stalks to the hill, or the stalks spaced singly IS inches to two feet apart. This meth od give3 each stalk of corn a larger soil area, frcm which to draw its sup ply of moisture. It reduces com petition for the moisture supply and premises better growth. "With late potatoes, something may be gained by applying a mulch of straw cr coarse manure over the rows at the time the potatoes are planted. Occasionally, we find gardeners who are successful in growing potatoes by the straw-mulch method. In this the r.eed is planted quite shallow on the level, then a layer of 12 or 14 inches of straw is placed over the entire potato patch, and the potatoes are allowed to grow up through the straw. This method, however, will not give results unless at the time the potatoes are planted, there is moiBture enough in the soil to make the crop. "Some home gardeners in the drought area may be in positon to With flags r.t half mast in tribute "to the two v.-cmen who lost their lives in the wreck of the steamship Dresden, her sister ship the Stuttgart, started back to Germany with the survivors. Some were picked up at Kopcrvik, Kar- ;noy island, where the majority had remained since the wreck Wednesday night, and the others went on board icrc. i ne passengers, r.azi excursion ists, sang the Horst Wessel song as the ship pulled out. German sal vage experts believe the Dresden cannot be raised. An inquiry held on the island this morning resulted in revelation that the Norwegian pilot, named Jacobson, had no certificate for the waters thru which he was taking the ship. 5 ..II Hera is the (Pcaiitititi n iW SKSLGAS IcAfMGE Here's the beautiful Skelgas range included in the complete $89.80 installation.
