ness at the office (bank) was looked
after by Mrs. Warren Boucher.
Farmers Bailing Straw
The farmers of this vicinity are
bailing straw for feed during the
winter. There is an abundance of
straw, following the threshing sea
son and with continued dry weather
withering the corn and other grow
ing vegetation it looks like this is a
wise move. Remember last winter,
when even straw was hard to obtain.
If the corn crop should fail to mater
ialize there will be little to sell from
the farms this winter, as there 13 a
marked shortage of both hogs and cat
tle, However, all are looking hope
fully to a good rain to revive the
drooping corn and other vegetation.

spond to the treatment received at
the hospital and regain his health.
Papering Farm Home
Howard Althouse, who is batching
on the farm of Kenry Hays of Elm-
wood, located just north of the King
school house south of Greenwood, is
papering the house and otherwise fix
ing the place up. Of course a young
man has a right to fix up the place
where he lives and to buy new wash
tub3 and other household appliances
as well as farming tools and we are in
no way criticizing him for his taste in
having things look nice around the
place.. Who knows but some day a
young lady might come and call on
him and be pleased that he has things
looking so fine. Anyhow, it is easier
to keep house when things are neat
about the home. So, here's to you
Howard, we know you will make a
good housekeeper, even if you don't
get one.
Visiting in the North
" H. D. Allen of Wymore, brother of
Mrs. W. A. White, arrived in Green
wood last Wednesday afternoon for a
visit with his sister and family and

pany with his sister, Mrs. White, and
George Bucknell and two sons, Loren
and Warren, departed on Thursday
morning for Wessington Springs, S.
Dak., where they visited for a few
days at the home of a sister of Mr.
Allen and Mrs. White, Mrs. O. A.
Walker and family. Concluding their
brief visit there they returned home,
arriving her last Sunday evening.
They found things looking much
better in the north than they are in
the vicinity of Wymore or even here
in Greenwood, as there has been more
rain in that part of the country
Dance Wednesday Evening
The Ladies Social club will give
a dance Wednesday, August 21.
Kany Digging Their Potatoes
Most of the people in this vicinity
'ho have grown potatoes this year
are digging the crop, as the tubers
are rotting in the ground notwith
standing the dry weather. In digging
them, it is found that fully 4 0 per
cent are so badly rotted they cannot
be saved. The worst part of it is that
the largest and finest ones are those
most badly rotted, while the smaller
sizes are in better condition.
From this, it is certain that al
though there has been a large acre
age planted and a large crop ma
tured, when they are culled out the
net return will be even smaller than
last year, while the early digging will
.nake them unfit for winter keeping.
It is difficult to understand what may
be causing them to rot, as the ground
is very dry, and this condition occurs
usually when the ground is rain-soaked
between time of maturity and the
usual time of digging in the early
fall.
The dry weather is also making in
roads on the corn crop in this section.
Many of the farmers report that even
with an abundance of rain from now
on, there will not be more than 10
bushels of corn to the acre, while if
the drouth continues there will be
much less. With the wheat crop fail
ing to come up to expectations, gen
eral farm conditions are not promis
ing. However, there should be an
abundance of rough forage crops, in
cluding hay, alfalfa, straw and 'corn
fodder, which was more than could
be realized last year.
With uncertain weather conditions
and various other problems, the farm
er engages in a greater gamble than
any other business man, from the
time he plants his crops in the spring,
until the harvest is completed, and
even through the winter runs the
risk of his livestock dying, the hired
man running off with his wife or
some one stealing his poultry.
Enjoyable Picnic at Louisville
The teachers of the Greenwood
school held a picnic at the state park
at Louisville last Sunday evening in
honor of Lee Knolle and Miss Helen
Marvin. The time was spent swim
ming and visiting after which a de
licious picnic supper was served. The

with an appropriate and useful gift.
Those present were Supt. and Mrs.
H. E. Warren, Miss Freida Woitzel,
Miss Lenora Larsen, of Lincoln, Miss
Thelma Leesley, and Irvin Bosel of
Ashland.
Needless to state, a most enjoyable
evening was had by all.
Men's Brotherhood Meets
The Men's Brotherhood of the M.
E. church met at the church base
ment for their regular meeting on
Thursday evening, August Sth. There
was a fair sized crowd present in spite
of the heat, the busy season and the
fact that some of the members were
on vacation trips.
The regular business session was
conducted by the president, followed
by a period of sociability that was
climaxed with the serving of delicious
refreshments.
The next meeting will be held on
September 5, this change in date be
ing necessary because the regular
meeting time would come during the
annual Methodist conference. The
July committee will have charge of
the September meeting.
Shower for Coming Bride
Mrs. Dewey Headley entertained at
her home on Friday evening, August
P, a group of twenty-eight guests in
honor of Miss Helen Marvin, who is
soon to become the bride of Lee M.
Knolle.
The evening was spent playing
pinochle and bridge. Mrs. Ben How
ard won the royal prize at pinochle
and Miss Florence Beighley won the
royal prize at bridge. The honored
guest was showered with many use
ful and beautiful gifts.
The evening's entertainment was
climaxed with the serving of ice
cream and cake at a late hour.
Gave Their First Concert
The community band of Green
wood after a period of faithful re
hearsal under the direction of Miss
Freida Woitzel, gave their first con
cert on the street last Saturday even
ing, August 10. This was a splendid
demonstration of their musical abil
ity and all are to be congratulated
upon their splendid work, as i3 the
director for her painstaking instruc
tion. There was a large crowd out
and all enjoyed the music.
Eetarned from Western Trip
Mr. and Mrs. Vern Shepler and son,
Charley Bob, of Springfield, who have
been spending some time visiting at
Newcastle, Wyoming, as well as with
Mrs. Shepler's brother, James Dyer
and family at Collona, Colo., stopped

short visit while on the last stage of
their journey back home.
Graveling Eoad

west of Greenwood south to the pave-!
ment, a distance of three miles, has
been surveyed and will soon be graded
and graveled by Lancaster county.
The Village of Greenwood will move
its transmission line back to the
property line during the coming ten
days, and there will be numerous
times when the electric current will
be cut off while this work is going on.
There is one mile of the line that is

permanent clearance.

Gncsts from the Southland
O. A. Johnson was very pleasantly
surprised last Monday on the arrival
of his brother, Scth Johnson, together
with his nephew, David Glen John
son and the latter's two children,
who came via auto from their home
at Hardaway, Alabama, for a visit
here and at other points in this lo
cality. On Thursday, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. O. A. Johnson, they went to
Elliott, Iowa, to surprise their oldest
brother, II. L. Johnson, who on that
day was enjoying his SOth birthday.
All the nieces and nephews called on
him during the afternoon and even
ing. David Johnson, wife and children
returned to Omaha Friday morning
for a visit with Mrs. Johnson's moth
er and two sisters who reside there.
Seth Johnson remained in Elliott for
a longer visit, while O. A. and wife
came on home Friday morning.
Needless to say, these three broth
ers have enjoyed being reunited af
ter a long period of time, but regret
the absence of one other brother who
was not able to join with them in this
pleasant reunion.
Cass county is one o the finest
agricultural centers in the state.
Improved farming conditions and
better prices for farm products
will react to the advantage of ev
ery town in this territory.

didn't get to fall with him instead
of Mr. Rogers," the grandmother

E0GEES HEAVILY INSURED
New York. Life Insurance of ap
proximately $800,000 was carried by
Will Rogers when he died, it was
disclosed Friday night by John J.
Kemp, a broker who had handled the
humorist's insurance business for
twenty years. A substantial portion
of the total was in endowment poli
cies, Kemp said, and in the past jear
approximately $200,000 worth of this
form of contract had matured. At
the peak Rogers was insured for
nearly a million dollars.
Rogers' most recent policies were
purchased eight or nine years ago.
Kemp disclosed, and the estate waa
built up gradually over a score of
years as the former cowboy's income
grew. None of Rogers' polici"s wa
affected by the reason of his acci
dental death, Kemp said, nor did any
of them provide for double In
demnity. TEATN OUTLAWS AEE SOUGHT
Tientsin, China. Japanese troops
combed an area between Pieping and
Mukden for outlaws who looted an
express train, killed five and wounded
more than twenty. The Chinese con
ductor, a train guard and three Kor
eans were shot to death in the hold
up. The R.engo (Japanese News
Agency) reported army leaders there
considered the incident a serious vio
lation of the recent north China mili
tary agreement. Posing as passen
gers, the bandits boarded the Muk-den-Peiping
express at Shanhaikuan.
A few miles out they held up the
passengers, shot down the conductor
and others who resisted them and
dropped off the train with loot esti
mated at $10,000 in silver. "Kill the
Japanese and Koreans," the bandits
were said to have shouted as they
terrorized the passengers.
