Urge W. G. Kieck
for Dist. Judge
Community Where He Was Reared
in Sarpy County Strong for
Cass County Attorney.
The mention of the name of W. G.
Kieck, Cass county attorney, in con
nection with the possibility of being
a candidate for the office of judge
of the second judicial district, made
in the Journal last week, has met a
warm response in his old home in
Sarpy county.
"Bill," as he is known to his
friends, was reared at Springfield, in
our neighboring county, where his
friends are legion and they are strong
in urging his candidacy for the post
on the bench, as shown by the fol
lowing from the Springfield Monitor:
"Attorney Kieck is a former
Springfield boy, and his candi
dacy would arouse a lot of sup
port in Springfield and Sarpy
county. His able record in office
in Cass county has been illus
trated by the last election in
which he, though a republican,
in a democratic landslide car
ried by a big majority for re
election to office. He has been
elected for four consecutive
terms."
Mr. Kieck as yet has not stated
his intention as to making the race
as he has been very busy in the af
fairs of the county attorney's office
in which he has given splendid ser
vice in the past years.

Ready for Corn Planting
J. K. Golden and son, Noell, have
made preparation for their seed corn
for the coming spring. During the
rail they went through the fields and
picked the very , best and ripest of
the corn which they dried and later
engaged in tests to determine its fer
tility, finding that 93 per cent of the
kernels planted showed satisfactory
germination. To this they have ad
ded some 15 bushels of the 1933 crop
and feel that they are not provided
with enough seed for their needs.

v. ood, who is employed by tho Fred
erick Seed company of Nebraska. City

seed corn. The matter of getting
liood seed for ne this coming spring

less the demand will far exceed the
supply at planting time next spring

time and was not able to meet the
added cost of care for their eight
children while the wife might remain
in the hospital, and citizens of the
community took the matter in hand,
seing that she gets the needed care
and taking the children into five dif
ferent homes of the community to be
cared for during the time the mother

mendation. It i3 hoped that Mrs.
McCoy may have a speedy recovery
from her operation and be able to re
turn to her family soon.
