Adams County
Wheat to Make
Splendid Crop
Bright Spot in the Wheat Belt,
Says Grain Man Expect
30-Bushel Yield.
York, Neb. The proverbial busy
bee is really going to have a Job on
its hands, this year if the computa
tions of W. P. JackB, part time
apiarist here, are accurately indica
tive. Jacks' record books show that
even tho there may be a large quan
tity of honey bearing ffflowers this
season, the plants will be compar
atively lato In reaching maturity; un
less the bee gets out and hustles his
production will be delayed.
Jacks has noted each year the first
appearance of honey bearing blos
soms, and thinks flowers this year
will be three and a half weeks late.
Many farmers plan to harvest their
first crop of alfalfa before the plants
bloom. Thus far the bee3 have had
to make frequent visits to the fruit
trees which survived the drouth sea
son. Hastings, Neb. Northern Adams
county Is one of the "brlgh spots"

"Christian Missions"
Acts 1:6-8; 13:1-12. -, r
This is one lesson that should prove
to be of special interest to all follow
ers of Christ. Why? Because it i3 of
vital interest to the coming of the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ; because as
men with a "missive" or "message"
are sent to proclaim the unsearch
able riches of Christ Jesus, bringing
the Gospel light to those who are in
darkness ignorance regarding the
great plan of salvation, whereby God
can save the world, and people accept
of the offer of God that: "Whosoever
believeth in Him, shall not perish,
but have everlasting life," i3 the
church fulfilling her mission, in bring
ing the Kingdom nearer.
God was the first missionary, in
that he promised Abraham that he
would in him (Abraham) bless all
nations. This promise of redemption
runs liko a thread from the beginning
to the close of the Bible. The Bible
13 in its very subconscious substance
missionary. It is the greatest book
on missions. The blessing of Abra
ham was onco more to unite the
divided families and change the
curse pronounced upon the ground
on account of sin, into a blessing for
the whole human race.
It is God's plan to save mankind
through men. Angel3 could not per
form this service, because they do
not know tho joy of sin3 forgiven;
they have not the sympathy, nor the
human touch that draws men to
gether. Only a3 a man has gone
through the experience of being saved
by faith in Christ and by the grace of
God has been adopted into the family
of God's children, is le enabled to
"tell tho story" to others. Isaiah was
ready to go, after his "purging and
cleansing." (Isa. 6:7). So was Paul
after his baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 9:17. Jonah ii another exam
ple, and what remarkable success he
had in Ninevah, by only pronounc
ing the Judgment of God. The great
commission of Jesus to the church
still stands: "Go . . . teach all na
tions ... to observe all things, what
soever I have commanded you." This
challenge is to the church, that claims
Christ as Its head.
The first requisite to carry out thi3
great commission is to "receive pow
er." No man can be an ambassador
to another government except he is
endued with power. So the messen
ger of Jesus Christ must possess the
Holy Spirit to Impower him to speak
with authority. "Now we are ambas
sadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech you by us; we pray you in
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to
find." fll Cor. 5:20). .
Then the church carries on herj
opinion of Max T. Morltz of Hutch
inson, Kas., grain company represen
tative who was here making arrange
ments for possible reopening of grain
elevators owned by his company at
Prosser, Newmarch and Hayland.
After considerable travel over wheat
territory, Morltz found no section
where the outlook was more promis
ing than here.
J. Fred Ernstmeyer, clerk of the
district court here and former grain
buyer, estimates the wheat prospect
to date Is better than for twenty-one
years, and predica yields of 30 bush
els to the acre.
Barring possible damage by rust,
wheat in the vicinity of Hastings is
expected to produce the biggest yield
in several years. Heads are filling
out well , in fields where the wheat
stands three feet high, farmers re
port. Corn planting, delayed by
spring rains, 13 now practically com
pleted. ;
NEBRASKA FUNDS APPROVED
Washington. rArthur F. Mullen
said PWA has approved additional
allotments totaling 3.6 millions to
permit Interconnection of the Platte
valley and Loup river power projects
in Nebraska. Ke said Platte valley
would get 2.2 millions and the Loup
river 1.4 millions on a loan and grant
basis:
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Mnrdock. Neb.
!
(missionary work through witnessing.'
"Ye Shall be rty 'witnesses." This is a
very delicate problem. A witness must
have direct knowledge of a fact or
event; to give testimony; evidence.
The lives of many professed Chris
tians are in direct opposition to what
they profess. Paul puts this up to
the Corinthians In parable language
when he says: "Ye are our epistle . . .
rea'd of all men." (II Cor. 3:2). If
our life does not harmonize with our
testimony, we are false witnesses, and
bring a reproach on our profession;
that retards the coming of the King
dom. The first great foreign missionary
venture was organized in Antioch,
under the auspices of the Holy Spirit,
directed and inspired by Him; the
church by fasting and prayer, was in
the proper attitude to hear the Holy
Spirit. There was an array of fine
talent: Barnabas, Simeon, Lucius,
Manaen and Saul. What different na
tionalities in a church so young!
"Separate me Saul and Barnabas . . .
to the work whereunto I have call
ed them." God's call must be definite
and clear. When they had a farewell
service, they sent them away. And
the work is still going on.
Under such circumstances, success
wa3 assurred. The phenomenal suc
cess of these first missionaries can be
accounted for directly to the spirit
that prevailed in the church; they
were led by the spirit of God; the
Holy Spirit made no mistake, the
right men were called, and they in
turn gave a good account of the faith
imposed in them. If overy pulpit
were filled with men of such faith,
zeal, . determination, courage and
power, as these missionaries had, the
world would surely be Christianized
in this generation.
After returning from the first tour,
a second journey is undertaken, di
rected by the Holy Spirit, into Europe,
through a vision that Paul had, with
wonderful success.
Is .'there -need of missionary-work
today aa there was in the time of the
Apostle3? As long as 'there is one
soul that has not heard the "Story
of Jesus and his love," someone must
go and tell the story.
"Go and tell unto all the Gos
pel Story,
They wait tor the light of
Hjs word; : .. .
They wait for the me3sanger
of glory,
Of whom they as yet have not
heard.
O, who will tell the story
old,
The story of redemption ever
new?
O, who will bring them to the
fcld?
The Lord ia waiting for you"
(To do it).
House Votes
Its Approval of
AAA Changes
Amendments Made to Insure Legal
ity of Farm Legislation Bal
lot was 168 to 52.
Amendments intended to protect
the new deal's farm program from a
supreme court death sentence of
"unconstitutionality" Tuesday swept
through the house at Washington by
a 3-to-l majority.
Carefully phrased by Secretary
Wallace and his aides in an effort to
meet standards set by the high court
In the NRA decision, the AAA amend
ments, kicked about congressional
corridors for months now look to the
senate for final approval.
Opposition there, which last year
blocked action on similar legislation
governing the handling and distri
bution of farm products, has lessen
ed and leaders plan to push the re
vamped bill to an early vote.
So listless was the house contest
over the AAA program that a record
vote was not forced. Speaker Byrns
favor of passage to 52 against. Party
counted 168 members standing In
lines split.
"Order" Is Provided.
The long fight against the cotton
processing tax by New England tex
tile interests ran into an 87-to-17
vote rebuff on Wigglesworth's (rep.,
Mass.) motion to have cotton pro
ducers paid benefits directly out of
the treasury.
Although some republicans and a
few democrats said they doubted the
constitutionality of the provision au
thorizing Wallace to "order" mar
keting agreements for handlers of a
half dozen commodities, they appar
ently were anxious to retain essen
tials of the farm adjustment law and
willing to leave debatable points to
the courts.
Under the "order" which replaced
the originally proposed . licensing
power, the secretary may order mar
keting agreements If 50 per cent
of the handlers by volume agree, or
if two-thirds of the farmers affected
in the given class wish it for hand
lers of milk, tobacco, fruits (except
apples and fruit for canning), wal
nuts and r pecans, vegetables (includ
ing soy. bean3 !buVftcp.ing vege
tables for canning), and naval stores
or turpentine. In the cases of milk
, only, prices to producers may be fix-:
ed and milk retailers also may be sub
ject to the "orders."
Ban on Suits Kept. . .-
Most efforts to amend the admin
istration bill failed. Representative
GIfford (rep., Mass.) sought to strike
out' the section prohibiting suits to
recover taxes previously paid should
the act be held unconstitutional, but
was defeated.
West coast representatives, led by
Representative Mott (rep., Ore.),
tried to put hops among the "or
der" commodities, but failed, as did
an effort by Representative Kvale
(f.-l., Minn.) to write in a child la
bor, minimum wage-maximum hour
stipulation for marketing agreement
iai lies, iiuu v) ueincseuiuiive j iiiai-
ley (dem.. Wis.), to limit the price
consumers pay for AAA commodities.
Representative Andresen (rep..
Minn.) succeeded In stipulating that
no order or agreement should pro
hibit the sale of dairy products in
any region in the country which the
bill authorizes the secretary to set
up for control purposes. He con
tended that otherwise Minnesota
products might be "walled in" and
kept out of New York, Chicago or
other milk sheds.
The measure authorizes Wallace's
"ever normal granary" plan of ac
cepting commodities in lieu of cash
benefit payments and holding the sur
pluses over from fat years for mar
keting in lean years. It carries a
J combination export debenture-Mc-Nary-Haugen
plan for subsidizing
; agricultural exports, and provides for
nxing quotas or compensating taxes
on Imported commodities ' found to
be holding farm products back from
parity price levels.
TORNADOES IN TWO STATES
Stephenville, Tex. A tornado
struck the eastern edge of Stephen
ville, injuring four persons and de
molishing more than twenty homes.
J. TL Ellis, aboit 75, suffered a
crushed head and was not expected
to live. His three daughters, Lucy,
Anne and Grace, were injured ser
iously. Physicians were dispatched
to Smith Springs, a small commun
ity four miles east of here, after a
messenger brought word the storm
had struck there. Communication
with the village was cut off.
Siloam Springs, Ark. A tornado
struck here late Monday afternoon
cutting off all outside communica

BED CROSS QUOTA ASSURED
The quota for Cass County Amer
ican Red Cross chapter, $350 is as
sured, aa up to June 15, $300.75 had
been received, with more coming in
every day.
The chapter officers appreciate
this co-operating answering the ap
peal for funds for our own Nebraska
people. All over the quota assigned
goes to this particular disaster in
Nebraska. The National Red Cross
has given $100,000 for relief and re
habilitation In Colorado and Nebras
ka. Greater destruction in Nebras
ka will requle much more than this,
so let Cass county go over the amount
assigned. All branches of the Cass
county chapter have not responded
to date, but will I know, and send
in your contribution to Mrs. Henry
A. Toll, chapter treasurer at Mur
dock. The need is great.

Chapter Chairman.
JOHNSON MOURNS FOR NRA
Indianapolis. General Johnson
told the annual convention of the
National Association of Retail Groc
ers that NRA was killed "to bring
back the roseate glory to the federal
trade commission and the anti-trust
acts."
He added NRA was killed "to
bring back more than that to bring
back a destruction of all that NRA
accomplished for- workers, a new
series of assassinations among you
and a murking of a fresh, new at
mosphere of decency and honor and
good faith in commercial relations
that destroyed the sweat shops and
child labor, and the abasement of
workers everywhere."

COMPROMISE ON NAVY BILL
Washington. Senate and house
conferees agreed on the 4 CO million
dollar navy appropriation bill with
a compromise on the sum provided
for starting construction of twenty
four new war craft. The navy de
partment has requested $24,380,000
for starting these vessels $6,000,
000 of which was for arming the
ships, and $23,380,000 for building
them. The house trimmed the latter
figure by $11,380,000. The commit
tee restored it in full. The compro
mise reached would make the sum
for building 18 millions, or, in other
words, trim the original naval re
quest by $5,380,000.
Senator Byrnes; (d.-S. C), of the
conference group said an assistant
secretary of. the navy had assured
them the sum allowed was "sufficient
to proceed and would cause no delay
in construction."
