lest Monday to look after some mat
ters of business and was also visiting
with friends there.
E. L. McDonald wa3 looking after
some business matters in Plattsmouth
last Monday, at the court house, and
was also calling on numerous friends
in the county seat.
Eeginning March lEt, Mrs. Stella
Eourk3 will take charge of the cream
and produce station which has been
conducted by Mrs. Paul Kelley dur
ing the past few years. Mrs. Bourks
should make an excellent manager of
the station.
W. II. Lecsley and the members of
his family have all been sick with flu
during the pat ten days, but are
now some better and are able to get
around and look after the business at
the hatchery, which is very heavy at
this time.
At the estate of Carl Stander, the
buildings have all been newly painted
ar.d are looking fine. The painting of
farm buildings and in fact all build
ings not only makes them look better.
but adds to their value, life and ser
vice as well. National statisticians
cay nearly 9 0 per cent of buildings
the country over are in need of paint,
having been neglected through the
years of depression.
Ccm-Hc Signers Meet

Phillip Reese and nephew, Clar
ence Reese, are getting the small
rocm near the Newkirk filling station
in readiness for the opening in a short
time cf a cafe and scft drink parlor.
This will be the only eating place in
Greenwood, as there are at present
only those along the highway serving
lunches and shortorders. It is rumor
ed that Herbert Adaman, of Louis
ville is also planning on opening a
cafe here. The need of good eating
places in up-town Greenwood is quite
evident, but the next proposition is
to make them pay.
Mrs. Ecenshell Dies Suddenly
Mrs. Archie Hoenshell, who with
her husband and family have resided
on a farm northeast of Greenwood
fcr many years, was suddenly strick

A young man of Greenwood and a
young lady of Palmyra slipped away
to Iowa last week, where they were
united in marriage, returning to
Greenwood to make their home and
receive the congratulations of their
friends. As the young lady has not
yet notified her parents, they are
keeping the wedding somewhat of a
secret, having told only a few score of
their friends, who were asked to keep
the secret. So we are not telling the
'full names, but will say the groom's
name is Kenneth and the bride's
name is Jeanctte. Now you will just
have to guess their last name3, or
consult seme of their many friends in
Greenwood.

hood, later coming with hi3 parents
to Plattsmouth, where they resided

heavy winds drifted the snow into
huge drifts and made it almo.st im
possible to get about.

Democrats to

insist on uemiig
More Patronage
Kembers of Ecuss of Representatives
at Washington Find Ally in
Senator Eobinscn.
The members of the national house
cf representatives at Washington,
members cf the democratic party have
lor;g felt that the patronage of the
national administration was.net di
vided as it should be among the mem
bers of their party.
The democrats have found an ally
in Senator Joe Robinson cf Arkansas,
senate leader, who stated:
"I unhesitatingly say," he told the
senate, "that the present administra
tion has kept in office too many re
publicans too Ion?. If I chose to go
into details I could name hundreds
of old mossback republicans placed
in office by that great partisan as
sociate of the senator from Delaware,
Termer Senator Pmoot, (r., Utah)."
His statement was precipitated by
comment from Senator Hastings, (r.,
Del.), that Speaker Dyrns had in
formed a caucus of house democrats
that at least 10000 jobs in the
civilian conservation corps would be
distributed to "deserving" demo
crats. Earlier, Byrns explained he
had said only that that many posi
tions would be available. House dem
ocrats promptly began efforts to ob
tain them for constituents.
Senator Long (d.. La.), said he
"agreed" with Robinson that "dem
ocrats should get all the jobs."
"I am not so strong that democrats
f.hculd get all the jobs," the demo
cratic leader replied, "but they ought
to have most of them. The senator
from Louisiana and I are nearer in
ecccrd at this moment than we've
been in a long time."
Long protest2d that under what
he understood to be Byrns announce
ment the jobs would be given out by
hou.e members and not senators.
"None of U3 are to be allowed to
come up to the pie counter, that's
what I'm kicking about," he said.
In discussing the $4,S0O,000,00O
work and relief bill, Hastings raid
the iund3 were intended to be used
to t.ke care of those now on relief
roIl3, "but before' the bill gets thru
the senate. we find the speaker an
nouncing 10, G00 democrats are to
be taken care of."
Senator Eorah repeated hi3 con
tention cf several months ago that
there was a "vast amount cf politics
and waste" in the distribution of re
lief funds. and suggested the commit
tee report out a "specific method" for
distributing the new funds. j

Bindweed Seed '
Found m Much
of Small Grain
Infested Seed Is a Source of Danger
to Grain, D. L. Gross, Agron
omist Foints Ont.
I Small grain harvested from bind
I weed infested fields is nearly certain
: to carry bindweed seed, and as a re-
cult agronomists believe farmers
should be sure their seed bought for
Spring planting is free from such
roxicus weeds.
D. L. Gross, extension agronomist
at the CDlIere of agriculture, points
to many examples of how bindweed,
one of the worst weed pest known in
the state, spreads rapidly. On one
farm in Saline county where a recent
weed meeting was held, a 52-acre
field was a solid mat of bindweed.
This field had become infested in one
jear thru seedinjr of bindweed in
fested sweet clover seed.
An indication of prolific seeding
habit of the pest is shown in an in
stance in York county. A bushel of
wheat was caught as it came from
a thrashing1 machine operated in a
bindweed infested field, a sample was
taken and the bindweed seed counted.
There were more than 26,000 in this
cne bushel alone. Yet, Gross points
out, such infested wheat is often used
for seed on land free from bindweed.
"The spread of the bindweed has been
particularly rapid during the past
two years, since it seems to thrive
well and produce largre quantities of
seed during dry years," the agrono
mist says, "This is doubly unfortun
ate this year, since most farmers in
Nebraska have no seed oats and bar
ley and will need to buy seed this
Spring to plants their crops. Farm
ers who are acquainted with the grave
danger of introducing bindweed into
their farms will be very cautious in
buying any kind of seed."
U2GES LIBERAL LIQUOR LAW
A liberal liquor law wa3 recom
mended to Nebraska legislators Fri
day by Edward A. Hayes of Decatur.
111., former national commander of
the American Legion.
Speaking before the liquor com
mittee of the house of representa
tives, he said liberalized private sale
of liquor was the only way to elim
inate the bootlegger.
Hayes advised strict rules as to
qualifications of respectability for li
censees and as to enforcement of the
lav.', but warned against other re
strictions which might cause high
prices for liquor.
Hayes said he was making a tour
of several states and was interested
in seeing sensible liquor legislation.
