Let's you and I start a new party. :o: When the Dionne quintuplets are eld enough to play basket ball they should have no difficulty getting a little publicity. :o: . We heard so much, you remember, about what would happen if gang sters ever kidnaped anybody in Can ada. Well, they did. :o: The crew aboard tns sloop Yankee include an Olsen, Andersen, Larsen, Nordquist, Ekeland and Johnsen older names, even than Adams, Paine and Hovey. :o: "Never agree with a woman when she is scolding her husband," coun- sels the St. Lcuis Globe-Democrat. "Go away." Yes, but perhaps by the time the bridge score is totaled and the accounts settled, the quarrel will be over. :o: As the Nazis go on and on and promise to last for a long time, have you yet learned to call them Not-ze's? which is the correct German pro nunciation. It took six years to learn (quite generally) that "II Duce" was "Eel Duchay." :o: Yes, it will be an epic if Upton Sinclair gets to be governor and kicks poverty out of California, but there's many a candidate for county here and there whose election and attach ment to a steady pay check will be regarded with the same epiencss. :o: Now If ail the children who start ed back to school this week will study hard and pay attention to what their teachers say, maybe they'll grow up and find out why other grownups; en joy gathering at conventions 'ad throwing water bombs in the street. :o: The racing of yachts for the Am erica's cup may bs a millionaires' game and the commoners can't af ford to dip sails with the rich hlgh-and-mightics, but the ordinary mine run citizen can still have a million dollars' worth of fun in a row-boat, trying for bullheads and catfish with a 10-cent. bamboo pole. - .- v.v 5 9-to 887 s i ';J-' ' i l2?it&U.& - t'"- i -rf,N'rM?-W VJ-- 'iffx.' tTV 2- i--v.v-.-f-.-' ir - t-' .

And then, as his manager nrpdirts. he'll do better when he learns more about pitching. :o: Being good may be a lonesome job, but just try being good with a pocket of money. When the money gives out, the company leaves and there you are good and lonesome again. :o: Duck shooting is permitted only three days a week during the season this year, and the Boston Globe feels that a similar restriction on the deer season would save a good many hu man lives. :o: Can't Voliva's end of the world, scheduled for September 10, be post poned? There are several matters, including the world series and the November elections, which we'd like to see settled before we leave. :o: Let's all us common people get together and earnestly hope that the seersucker industry doesn't become involved in the strike. It's just pos sible, too, that seersucker wouldn't be classed as a textile, but some thing agricultural such as the in nards of the washrag gourd. :o: The candidates who warm to the subject of redistribution of wealth should stop and consider that they aren't being listened to by the folks who are more interested just at this time in the, redistribution of the weather. -,',,-.,. ,'. f. .... ' : : :o: It's odd, of course, but there are literally whose city blocks of homes outfitted with Comfortable chairs and couches upon which the Installments have been finally paid up and now have been condemned as old-fashioned by housewives. And if the housewives were given full authority they would install chairs and couches not less than 200 years old. called saps? "Looks like a cold winter!" t - T. S II ' w. . N-i - - r J Ml gt- M f i ir,V- " Much of the world's trouble is caused by people failing to follow the old copybook admonitions. :o: The average American's feverish desire for travel isn't to much be cause he wishes to go somewhere as to leave somewhere. :o: Rip Van Winkle slept for twenty years. But of course he had to get far enough from the road where he couldn't hear the motor cycles. :o: It won't be long now until the frost is on the pumpkin and the sleeves of the old topcoat prove to be frayed as we feared they'd be. :o: The Nevada Indians predict a hard winter because the crop of pine nuts is large. If a lot of nuts is a sign of something, matters begin to clear up. :o: Debunker says no human body is perfect by standard measurements Still, you see quite a few pretty shoulders in the course of a backless summer. :o: Moving Al Capone from cne peni tentiary to another has at least the moral influence of a reminder that he is still a prisoner and not a boss racketeer. :o: The old folks are watching to sec if the pastures green up following the showers, but the young men are waiting for the new school teachers to arrive. :o: With so many things happening in the world these days, isn't it strange that somebody hasn't done some thing about the fellow who calls his girl to the door by honking his horn? :o: Sam Armstrong, Byron, Cal., farm er, has a large acreage and about 200 pigs. Calling them at feeding time required a great deal of walk ing, so Armstrong installed a loud speaker system. :o: September weather like this is. good for football, steak fries.. thoughts of longies, ripening of paw paws, putting the swimming suit in moth balls, blterswcet, potato roasts, bowling and more work. :o: Mrs. Roosevelt doesn't believe Am erican women have enough back ground in public life yet to be good Presidents. That's what American women get for being suclV inveterate stay-at-homes, we guess. :o: Probably the reason so faw of our local motorists signal their turns1 these days is because they don't want to freeze their hands. The extreme cold of tho last few days makes them reluctant to open the windows. We forget what their excuse was before the September blizzard landed. :o: "See it before you buy It." J Cass County Farm 4 Bureau Notes J Copy furnished from Office of County Agent Walnscott t The Pasture Situation. Even though rains should be nor mal for the remainder of the season, it appears that most of our blue grass and native pastures is such that even early spring growth is likely to be very slow because of the lack of root reserves. Many pastures will undoubtedly not recover at all due to the combination of drouth, ex cessive heat and over grazing, and will therefore need to be rcseeded. In view of this situation it is of utmost importance that steps be tak en to provide temporary pastures: until such time as regular pastures are sfficiently revived to withstand pasturing. All of cur grass pastures will need a rest before they will re turn to normal. Grazing atthe first sign of new growth will likely com plete the destruction of many pas tures which have been abused this season. One of the best temporary pastures for Nebraska and about the only one that can be considered at this time of year is fall rye and wheat. Rye is to be preferred since it stools mere prolifically, withstands grazing better and provides grazing later in the fall and earlier In the spring It should be seeded at the rate of about two bushels per acre for the best results. It should not be grazed too heavily this fall, if maximum pas ture next spring is desired Extreme care should be exercised this fall in the purchase of rye seed Seed from the 1934 harvest only should be used. 1933 seed which has been carefully stored might be satis factory if the rate of seeding Is doubled. In all cases a germination test should be made before the seed is planted. Year old rye is likely to have a very poor germination. Where fall rye seed i3 not available, winter wheat provIdes a faIr substitute. It will prove of exceptional value where other pastures are not available. Early Returns cf 4-II Winners.

Notice of the approval of the eecomt payment on the contracts bus bt'en received in the agent's office und tho checks will follow immediately. Watch for your notice of the placo to.get your check, if you are a wheat signer. Contract signers should also bear in mind that the wheat reduction for 1925 is only ten per cent, which In means they can plant up to 90 of their base acreage for harvest iu ce - 1935. If you are in doubt as to your baso acreage getin touch with the to Z1 xS 1 to mink WATTE OkK. That in fairness and justice to the home city, every citizen should pat ronize the home merchants. Some salespeople should cultivate a more courteous and friendly man ner toward customers. It helps to sell merchandise and helps the sales people to keep their jobs. People expect courteous treatment. If they don't get it, they trade where they do get it or buy from mail order houses. For some years the newspapers of the smaller towns and cities have been fighting the mail cider houses and, in most instances, fighting them without assistance. If the merchants really wish to keep home business in the home city, they should co-operate with local newspapers. The best way to do this is to ad vertise their goods in the home papers. It is better to read the advertis ing columns of your local newspaper and buy at home. Farm Bureau office before planting this fall. With moisture conditions permitting wheat contract signers are pledged under their contract to sow at least 5 4 cf their has: acre age. Corn-hog contract signers arc bound by their contract to sow not more than the number of acres they had in wheat in 1022 cr 1033, which ever was the higher, for harvest as grain in 1935.

Reports indicate that lZZi is see ing more men, women and children IWi.ll.-U ill UUlUl-IUUliC ccidents than in any previous year. Figures sup plied by the National Bureau cf Cas ualty and Surety Underwriters show that for the first six months of this year about 20 per cent more people were killed than in 19S.1, and the worst driving months are yet to come September, October and Novem ber. In 1933, nearly C 1,000 persons were killed. If you add 20 per cent to this number it will amount to 37, 200, with more than 1.000,000 per sons injured. Tlie economic loss will jump into the billions. What is the matter? It is not pos sible that the drivis r,f the country have cased to think. Thoy wouid not admit that they are willing to wipe cut or cripple tho population c;f a large city every year. Ret, they do so, and seemingly they don't earn. There must be some kind of a new germ in tho air which infects us all. Perhaps it is the speed bus. In any event, it compels us all to dash some where or nowhere in our cars day or night for no pressing reason. Then we come back to the same place in the same hurry. If a man, woman or littl? child gets in the way, it hi just too bad. If another car, or bus. or tree, cr stone wall is in the way, that it just a tough break. Our authorities have been liberal in the matter of driving mules and regulations. On the whole, drivers legally allowed plenty of speed at aj tjnu.s Put this lib:rality does not extend to the point where tho cl,thorities ar Wllllne to havo an army of people killed every yc-r.r. Tho motorists of America thould realize that the time will come when the authorities representatives of them selves and their neighbors will pass stricter regulations and enforce more stringent penalties. If people will not exercise care for themselves, so ciety r.3 a whole must fxcrcisc it for them. There crpears to be no other way out. 27AVY CUTS BUDGET Washington. Secretary Swamsori reported the navy in its nearly com pleted budget estimate for ti e next fiscal year had lopped cit $40,000. 000 from the figures submitted b'r various bureaus.
