Advised of Uncle's Death Albert Pool was advised last Mon day evening of the death of his uncle at his home at Holton, Kas., and he and his brother, Clarence E. Pool, departed Monday evening via train from Weeping Water for Hol ton, to attend the last rites. Home Spun Philosophy P. II. Clarke, who is somewhat of a philosopher, while not claiming any pre-eminence in that direction, has hit the nail pretty squarely on the head when he was heard to remark a few days ago: "Fishing i3 only a means cf getting out of work, and if it were not for the fact of having to dig the bait, it might develop in to a very fashionable line of busi ness." Kicked in xace by Horse While Henry H. Gerbeling was en deavoring to render aid to one of his horses which was very sick and in agony, hoping to get the animal in an easier position, the horse, in its struggles rolled over, kicking its legs with much force, and one of the animal's hoofs came in contact with the side of Mr. Gerbeling's face, cut ting a gash and bruising the face severely. Notwithstanding the effort!? made to save it, the horse died. Henry had a very sore face for a number of days, but the wound is beginning to heal and soon will be as well as ever.

General Calles 1. . --.71 AAA Holding Back Pay Many Crop Contracts Kecords Eeveal That $157,000 Given to Farm in California for Not Eaising Hogs. Washington. Records in the AAA comptroller's office revealed that benefit payments due on more than 131,000 crop control contracts had been suspended by the adjustment ad ministration. Officials would make no estimates of the amount of money in volved in the suspensions but said the action was temporary in most cases and that the farmers eventually would get their benefit checks. In some cases, however, evidence of fraud was found, and high offi cials asserted that in such instances, when contracts had been violated, the suspension would become permanent. Teachnical errors, mistakes labeled by officials as "honest" and legal technicalities were said to have caused most of the suspensions. No estimate was made of the number of contracts suspended because of al leged violations. 96,000 Suspended for 1035. The AAA books showed 9G.8C5 con tracts for 1935 had been suspended and the comptroller said about 35, 000 additional suspensions have been carried over from previous years. A tabulation compiled by officials in the comptroller's office showed the following suspensions, as compared to the number of contracts in effect for 1935: Wheat, 580,000 contracts, 41, 60S suspensions; corn hogs 990,000 and 16,308; cotton 1,123,000 and 25,181; Bankhead cotton pool payments, 3, 966 suspensions; peanuts, 10,500 contracts, 676 suspensions; rice 8, 274 and 25; sugar 84,500 and 2,729; tobacco 217,000 and 6,313. Largest Corn-Hog Check. Coincidentally it was reported the argest payment made under the corn hog program, approximately $157, 000, went to Fontana Farms, inc., of California. The farm was said to feed large numbers of hogs on gar bage bought from cities. Authoritative AAA sources said meanwhile there was some concern over how information pertaining to large benefit payments had been made public. Officials revealed an in vestigation was underway to locate the sources of this information. The same officials maintained the AAA could not make public these names and amounts unless specifically re quested to do so by the senate. No breakdown was available of the 35,000 suspended contracts carried over from previous years. Neither could an estimate be obtained of the percentage of small and large farm ers involved. SEE LIVELY DODGE SESSION Fremont, Neb. Democratic lead ers here are predicting a lively ses sion at the party's Dodge county con vention April 30. The prediction arises from the fact a split has de veloped over the reappointment of Prank Fuhlrout as Fremont's post master, and the Fremont delegates at the party's national convention, elected at Tuesday's primary, seem almost equally divided on the ques tion. Tuesday's biggest upset among democrats here was the failure of John F. Rohn, long time democratic leader. To get backing as a delegate to the county convention. The for mer mayor ran 12th in the voting in his ward. The ward is entitled to 11 delegates. IOWA STUDENT SHOOTS SELF Bedford, la., Apiil 17.

If you can't measure up to the age-height-weight table on the scales in front of the drug store on main street don't worry. These tables of common use were' called "inaccurate" by Miss Eleanor Meth eny, ar.throponetry expert at the Uni versity of Iowa. "Just because a race horse and a draft horse are of the same age and height is no reason for believing they are of the same weight," she declared in an inter view. "And it's just as ridiculous to believe that 'race horse and 'draft horse' types of persons should weigh the same." The Iowa child welfare research station, headed by Dr. C. H. McCloy with Miss Metheny and Dr. Arthur J. Wendler as members of the staff, has developed new de vices and mathematical formulas to measure weight it's called the ccience of anthropometry. ADMITS POSING AS SHERIFF Schuyler, Neb. County Attorney Pospishil Friday filed charges of fel oniously obtaining money by intim idation and coercion against John I. Pollard, 28, of Schuyler, in connec tion with a loss of $00 by Frank Cech, also of Schuyler..

LIQUOR LICENSE DENIED Richard B. Jones was denied a license by the state liquor commis sion Friday to open a package li quor store in connection with his jewelry store at Weeping Water. The rresent mayor and the newly elected mayor, along with several merchants, told the commission one liquor store was almost too many for the town, ?s the dealer wasn't making much, and another would constitute un fair competition.

The amateur who grows vegetables as a recreation has it all over his fellow hobby riders, for his playtime hours at this avocation not only cost him nothing, but actually save him money. This economic feature of veg etable gardening is not the important one, of course, but it is satisfying none the less, and makes the hobby more interesting. We think of flower growing, or photography more often as hobbies. They seem to have an esthetic qual ity entirely apart from the neces sities of life, and by indulging in them, we feel we are getting spir itual benefits which we would not ordinarily get in the general run of things. The fact that we eat the vegetables wc grow may dampen the enthusiasm of some and make it work instead of pleasure. But, the real gardener never thinks of this. He knows that there is as much beauty in orderly rows of green and yellow vegetables as in flowers. Beauty in plants is a relative thing. All plants bloom when they come to maturity. Dahlia roots are good to eat when properly cooked, but we never grow them for that purpose, because we have other root3 in the vegetable garden which we like bet ter. Why then should Ave say that the brilliant green foliage of carots, or the tender leaves of lettuce are not beautiful? Designing a vegetable garden should be as important as your street front landscape. Make it a comfort able place to work in and play. Make use of flowers as borders and ac cents, trim th2 paths, and keep the rows clean and srtaight. Pools, bird baths, arbors and garden furniture will fit in the vegetable garden as well a3 elsewhere, and make it more livable. The other feature of vegetable gar- ideninc: v.hica maues it a hojby m gQ nuch bcUer But tomatoes grown in your own garden tand taken from the vine only when they are ripe are a half better. This is even more true of sweet corn and peas, and even string beans deteriorate much in a few days on the way to market. Garden fresh Vegetables are re served for the amateur who grows them, and can gather a supply an hour before mealtime. Modern meth ods of storage and refrigeration have improved the market vegetables im measurably, but it still takes many hours or days to get than ready for the table, during which time they lose much of their sweetness and healthful qualities. On the other hand, the housewife can purchase only the standard and time-tried varieties on the market, whereas if she grows them herself, she has the choice of hundreds of types and varieties to fit in with the garden conditions and her fancy, and always have the newest and th3 best. DEVELOP 'CORN DYNAMITE' Kansas City. Corn dynamite, a new product of the test tube, poten tially superior to nitro-glycerin, was reported to the American Chemical society by its president, Prof. Edward Bartow, head of the University of Iowa department of chemistry. Professor Bartow pictured the pos sibility of corn, processed in this new fashion, being used all over the coun try to blast stumps from fields, ex cavate road and skyscraper founda tions, and "shoot" quarries, mines and oil wells. The new explosive is one of several possibilities opened by production from corn of a sugar-like substance known as inositol, hitherto unavail able because extraction made it cost about 500 a pound. In the last two months. Professor Bartow said, Dr. W. W. Walker, in his department at Iowa, has discovered a method of ex traction which tremendously cheap ens the rare stuff, so that many labor atories already have started work On its possible uses.
