"Forgot Something," was Eeply
The celebrated Zephyr, fast Bur
lington train which makes a round
trip each day between Lincoln and
Kansas City on fast schedule, broke a
part of its machinery one day last
week and was hauled in by a steam
engine. When Lincoln was asked
about it they said the Zephyr had
gone off and forgotten something and
had to go back after it. This i3 the
second time a steam engine has had
to come to the rescue, as a similar
break-down at Hamburg, Iowa, some
weeks ego, caused it to be pulled into
the car shops for some overhauling.
It is a rigid schedule to maintain,
especially with no change-off unit
available and the necessity of making
the long run each day.
Many Working on 0 Street
A large number of men arc now at
work on the O street road paving pro
ject, which comprises some four and
a half miles, extending eastward from
the Elm wood corner. Already a mile
of the concrete ribbon has been laid,
and with good weather the work will
go forward rapidly.. It is rumored
that an additional four or five miles
will be put in, as well as an over
head grade crossing, which will con
tinue the work for a good portion of
the rummer.
Among those from Greenwood who
are working on the present project
are Arlo Goings, Rainer Lloyd Mick,
Goodhart Vant, G. Stewart and Ar
thur Weideman.

worth while.

The Sweetest
Peas are Those
Grown at Home
Sow at Ten Day Intervals for Suc
cession Crop- Smooth Type is
Good First Crop.
The sweetest peas are luose grown
in the home garden. Like many an
other vegetable, peas lose much of
their flavor and goodness when left
too long out of ground, and are best!
pickled Just before dinner-time. i
lA;ere are two types of pea the
smooth and the wrinkled. Gardeners,
might well grow both of them, be-
cause the first Is the hardiest and J
may be sown early, while the wrink
led is the sweetest. It should be
sown when the ground is warm, and
all danger of cold is past. One crop
cf smooth peas for early use is
enough.
The wrinfcled pea has been remark
ably developed by skilled plant breed
ers, and there are now three types,
all of the giant podded kind and of
first quality. Dwarf, medium and tall
wrinkled peas may be h"ml, according
to your needs and likes, and each
year see3 some new variety better
than before. The severe tests given
peas of late has made them sure
growers for the home garden.
Quality seeds will not always as
sure quality crops, however, unless
they are planted under proper con
ditions for growing. A dense plant
ing is too often the cause of failure,
and the old-time notion that the
thicker the plants the larger the crop
is far from correct. You can prove
the truth of this very easily by thin
ning out to give each vine a chance
to grow.
A single row with the peas 2 inches
apart is an efficient way to grow
them, or double rows C inches apart
with the peas 2 inches apart in the
rows. Always avoid crowding the
plants.
Peas need a rich soil, and a gener
ous application of complete plant
food will pay for its cost many times.
Cultivate them well and often during
their growing period. They are a one
crop plant and will not cause you un
due work if you take care of them
only when a harvest is in the offing.
After they bear, pull them up, and
plant something else in their stead.
Plant peas at two-week intervals to
provide a continuous crop.
If space is a rroblem, plant the
vine types and train them to a wire
fence. Another good way is to plant
rows 2 feet apart, and train the vines
to grow cn strings slanting down
from a rail set in between the rows.
This rail should be set up on 6-foot
poles, and may be easily constructed
out of 1-inch by 2-inch lumber, driv
ing the poles into the ground to keep
them rigid. The strings coming down
to the rows on either side will make
the structure wind proof.
FIVE ARE DEAD IN A FIRE
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Five persons
were burned to death and seven in
jured or overcome when a sudden fire
destroyed three buildings in the main
street of Poughkeepsie. Rosemary
Seifts, a 3 year old girl, whose moth
er, father, sister and brother per
ished, is missing. All of the victims
died in a three story combination
business and apartment building in
which the fire apparently started.
The dead:
G. Edward Seifts, 34.
Mrs. Mary Seifts, 36.
Joan Seifts, 1.
Edward Seifts, jr., 5.
Shirley Elmore, 7.
Firemen said they found no trace
of Rosemary Seifts. They combed the
smoldering ruins and said apparent
ly the five known dead were the only
victims. They said the little girl
probably had been taken in by neigh
bors during the fire. A physical cul
ture teacher, Emil Heller, who dis
covered the fire and who dashed into
the building, said he heard their
screams, but was driven back by
flame and smoke.
Altho a fire station wa3 directly
around the corner, the fire burned
so furiously other mcmber3 of the fiv
families living in the three build
ings barely escaped with their lives.
Two firemen were overcome.
LHSSnURI RESTORES RELIEF
Jefferson City, Mo. Quick legis
lative action restored Missouri to the
federal relief rolls within 12 hours
after being cut off for delay in com
plying with the federal emergency
relief administration's demands that
the state carry a "fair share" of the
load. Immediately after the general
assembly had adopted a resolution
appropriating $500,000 for May re
lief, Wallace Crossley, state relief
director, wired all county relief ad
ministration to "resume entire relief
program on former basis."
MISSING BANKER TRACED
Seattle. Tracing of Allan P. Hull,
missing banker charged with an JS,
500 embezzlement, to Pittsburgh,
Erie, Pa., and Cleveland, was dis
closed here by Prosecutor Magnuson.
The announcement came as Miss
Antionette Celi, friend of Hull's, who
broadcast an appeal to him to return
and "face the music," advised Mag
nuson she was preparing to go east
to find Hull and appeal to him in per
son to return.
Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff
Bodia said Hull had answered the
girl's appeal, sending her two tele
grams and a letter, which were inter
cepted by deputy sheriffs.
Grain Stocks
are Low in West
ern States
Last Summer's Drouth and Crop Re
duction Program Combine to
Empty Farm Eins.
Kansas City. Grain stocks held on
farms of the agricultural states west
of the Mississippi river are alarm
ingly low, with bumper crops in
wheat, corn and oats needed this year
to supply national demands and re
plenish the farm bins, a survey by
the United Press reveals.
Last summer's drouth and the crop
reduction program of the AAA are
held responsible for the low stores,
but mot of the blame gees to the
drouth, for, as A. E. Anderson, state
and federal crops statistician of Ne
braska, pointed out, crops probably
would have been lost year because of
the drouth, even if full acreage had
been planted.
Figures for Kansas, Missouri, Iowa,
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Texas show the following stock on
farms as of April 1:
Wheat, 30,691,000 bushels.
Corn, 189,561,000 buchels.
Oats, 75,012,000 bushels.
In Kansas, greatest winter wheat
state in the nation, wheat stock on
farms totals 14,346,000 bushels. Thi3
i3 approximately 500,000 buhels more
than a year ago, but far below the
normal amount on farms at thi3 time
of the year. The exceptionally short
crop in 1933 caused the shortage a
year ago.
Of the six other states canvassed,
only Nebraska and Oklahoma have
more than five million bushel3 of
wheat.
Of the total bushels of corn still
held the great majority 143,613,
000 bushels is on Iowa farms. Ne
braska reported 20,028,000 bushels,
which leaves but 25,830,000 bushels
among the other five states.
Kansas, which almost had a total
corn crop failure in 1934, has but
1,625,000 bushels on hand, and about
half this is needed for seed. Iowa
farmers, according to Leslie M. Carl,
federal statitician at Des Moines,
held approximately 90 percent of
their crop, compared with 71 percent
the previous year. Even so, the total
held was less by 147,799,000 bushels
than the previous year, due to the
short 1934 harvest. Some Iowa corn
has been moving into Missouri this
spring at a dollar a bushel.
The acuteness of the corn short
age is shown clearly by comparing
this year's stocks with those of 1934.
Kansas has 1,625,000 bushels where
it had 23,967,000 in 1934; Missouri,
8,000,000 compared with 48.103,000;
110,952,000 and Arkansas 4.879.000
Nebraska 20,028,000 compared with
compared with 9,115,000.
JUDGE DEFERS A SENTENCE
Omaha. A young wife's tearful
pleading for a parole for her hus
band prompted District Yeager to de
fer passing sentence on George Biv
ens, 26, who pleaded guilty to rob
bing nine filling stations early Fri
day in which he said he obtained
$1.18.
Bivens said he turned to robbery to
carry out a deception that he was
working. "The horse races took our
savings," Mrs. ITTVens told the judge.
"Then the races got his job. He
didn't want me to know he was not
working so he did this."
John E. Chew, attorney, who lis
tened to the young wife's plea, ask
ed to help her. "I know you have no
money to employ a lawyer but I want
to help you anyway," he said.
WOULDN'T SUPPORT FAJITLY
Seward. Mike Kozldek of Tamora
was sentenced by Acting County
Judge Charles Barth to serve thirty
days in jail, with a bread and water
died each week end, for refusal to

practically no work for eight months,
had refused to cultivate his garden,
