G. A. Pab.1 Is General Chairman of Campaign That Is Now Being Announced. To give every home in this city more attractive surroundings so that living will be more enjoyable, a healthier environment for all citi zens will be created and the entire community will be improved and beautified, a city-wide Yard & Gar den Contest will be conducted here, it was announced. The Plattsmouth Garden club i3 sponsoring the cam paign. Every family in the city is invited to enter this big contest and help make it a community forward move ment. There is no entry fee. Small home yards and gardens will have a nequal chance with more pretentious grounds in winning one of the many valuable prizes offered, as the contest i3 so arranged that each will compete at no disadvan tage. Every entrant will be greatly benefited by joining this big city beautiful movement even if he does not win a prize. This fact is em phasized by the contest slogan: "You Win If You Lose." Outdoor Living P.oom An opportunity to create an attrac tive and enjoyable outdoor living room in place of an uninviting back yard will be given every family tak ing part in the campaign. Entrants will be shown how easy it is to do . . JT t, shrubs and flowers. These outdoor living rooms for rest, relaxation and daily enjoyment during many months of the year are in the height of fash- ion everywhere this spring. Improved home grounds will pro vide a family with an ideal environ ment for growing children as well asi more enjoyable living quarters for father and mother It is pointed out. Such an environment will leave last ing impressions on boys and girls in healthy bodies, clean minds and hap py dispositions, according to psychol ogists. Increases Realty Value Another practical benefit to every home entered in the contest will be the increase in it3 real estate value which always results from the plant ing of the grounds. This fact is so well established that many sub-division promoters are themselves spon soring Yard & Garden Contests in their new residential districts.

Attractive lomes are one of the best advertise ments any community can have. Every householder is asked to co operate with the municipal govern ment so that garbage and rubbish may be removed and streets and alleys kept clean.

Each home entered in the big competition will be personally visited and inspected by the judges.

Plan Your Out- door Living ivoom for Year 'Round Ideal Recreational Facilities Are Lo cated in Your Own Eack Yard ; Two Kinds Recreation. Your ideal recreational facilities are located in your own back yard. You do not need to go miles away to find beauty, change, rest and stimulating exercise. All of these are offered in the development and en joyment of your own grounds. We humans enjoy two kinds of re creation. One, passive that is, quiet relaxation wherein we rest and enjoy the things about us, read or visit 1 with our friends. Two, active where 1 .... . stimulating exercise of some form or other is resorted to, to give us a work out physically and bring into play unused muscles. We know of no finer source of com plete creation than is offered in gar dening, especially when one develops ian outdoor living room for year round enjoyment. In the first place, anyone who has planned and planted an outdoor liv ing room will tell you it is one of the most fascinating of gardening experi ences. It is an interesting problem to start with. Its design stimulates your imagination. There is constant change as the plants grow and each growing season offers its opportunity for trying new plants and new decor ations. " Once created the outdoor living room can be a joy to the entire fam ily the whole season through. Every day offers new pleasures. Guests will come, see the attractive grounds and admire your home; tea may be served out-of-doors; often a quick, pick-up icnic meal can be enjoyed outdoors without riding twenty miles in the car and losing lots of precious time. The outdoor living room, when prop erly planned and furnished, offers the most satisfactory form of outdoor living for several months out of the year. And those who have gardened will tell you that gardening offers the most healthful exercise there is. In planting, cultivating, hoeing, weed ing and watering you get a balanced ration of exercise which builds the mind and body anew. And garden ers love it not only because of what it does for them but what it does for the plants they love. An hour spent on the golf course gives you a pleas ant social hour of exercise, which is soon over and forgotten. An hour spent in the garden gives you exercise equally as pleasant with additional returns in flowers and fruit. In your recreation you have part in the cre ation of a beautiful and satisfying garden. Year Round Beauty in the Eorder First, in spring, the bulbs and early flowers appear; then waves of rioutous color follow, during the months as blossoms com and go. The blaze of autumn color die3 into fancy like beauties of hoar frost on naked twigs. In winter, too, the outdoor living room is beautiful to look upon. Coloring twig and berry relieve the winter landscape. Evergreen foliage stands out in friendly warmth and contrast. The naked structure of trees relieved against the sky are studies in perfect design and pattern. No matter what the season, the view from your living room window is enhanced by a well planned out door living room. BLAME FIORENZA CASE New York. Police charged a 23 year old married man with an un natural assault upon a 19 year old girl in what they said was a reper cussion of the slaying of Mrs. Nancy Evans Titterton by the sex criminal, John Fiorenza. The man was John Fonzo, jr., 23, son of a wealthy con tractor. The girl was Luba Kron haus. He accosted her as she sat out side her apartment. J. Edgar Hoover Calls D0 A. R. to W ar Upon Crime Eays There Are 150,000 Murderers at Large Daughters Oppose New Government. Washington. Asserting that in America there are "150,000 murder ers roaming at large," J. Edgar Hoo ver, chief of the federal bureau of investigation, urged upon the Daugh ters of the American Revolution a "war" on crime. In a speech bristling with macabre statistics, Hoover called upon the daughters to "view with keen sus picion the various so-called economy moves by which venal politicians dis rupt police departments." He assert ed that "political grafters" are the brains behind the Dillingers of the land. At the outset, he conjured up "the horrible picture of miles upon miles of stiffened corpses representing the 300,000 citizens of America who to day are walking the streets, not realising they are doomed to die by the foul hand of the murderer." 200,000 Will Murder. In addition to the 150,000 mur derers he said were now at large, he declared 200,000 of the present popu lation will commit murder before they die. Even beyond the country's 3,000,000 convicted criminals, he as serted one out of 25 persons in the United States is "inclined toward criminality!" If crime were to marshal its forces, Hoover said .they would "tramp ceaselessly past this hall, hour after hour, in daylight and Iarkness, and back to daylight and darkness again, 10 and 20 abreast" an army before which "America would fall in a few hours." A little more than 24 hours before Hoover told the daughters to "watch appropriations," the senate had giv en him a figurative cheer by refusing to cut the fund for his bureau of in vestigation from $6,025,000 to ?5, 800,000. The D. A. R. continental congress to which he spoke itself had voted earlier strongly-phrased resolutions for the defense of this country from military invasion, and for the preser vation of its constitution from amendments now pending in con gress. . Hail American Ideals. With vigorous applause they went on record: "We the descendants of those who achieved liberty . . . here by pledge ourselves anew to the preservation of American institu tions and ideals, and to oppose any amendment to the constitution which would result in a change in our form of government." They declared, too, against "bu reaucracy and centralized govern ment," for reserving to the states the regulation of the labor of indi viduals including "minors working under fatiguing conditions" wide ly interpreted in effect as a state ment of opposition to the child labor amendment. They approved: Federal aid to mer chant marine manned with American seamen; teachers oaths, but not in Trend Toward Larger Farms Seen in Nation tJ.MA ft a-1' I WAV -.

Plowing huge tract j L developments may see a further trend in this di rection although present prices make such practice profitable only when the project is confined to one crop, rotation of crops involving too complex a setup for economy. The small farm is in no danger of immediate displacement, however, since the last census revealed that the size of the average farm is about 150 acres. Sugar, rice, cotton and wheat are best adapted to large scale production.. Spring Crop of Pigs Not Hit by n. r's Cold Upward Trend Continues in Coun try as a Whole, Despite Some Mortality. Chicago. The upward trend in the birth rate of hogs in the United States was not seriously affected by last winter's extremely cold leather, a survey of the corn belt showed, altho the mortality averag3 in some sec tions was high. The weather took a heavy toll of baby pigs in the spring crop of a lew states, but these losses were not enough to ofiset the increase in the general hog population, which for more than a year has been below a normal of 50 to 60 million head. Early in 1935 it was the smallest in half a century only 39,004,000 head. A year later the population had gained 9 percent. The survey, based on statistics sup plied by agricultural authorities in the corn belt states, is the first since Dec. 1. The department of agricul ture report on spring production will not be made until June, altho the government estimated 6,220,000 sows would farrow this spring in the coun try as a whole, an increase of 24 per cent over last spring. Normally more than 8.000,000 sows farrow at this time of year and the usual number of pi?s saved runs more than 50,000, 000. This spring crop is ready for market in the fall. Losses of pigs due to cold in Jan uary and February were most severe in Indiana, Minnesota and Ohio. The Ohio crop was one-third below nor mal of 2,000,000. However, George Menning, animal husbandry expert, estimated the crop would run 15 per cent above that of 19C5. E. P. Ferrin, University of Minne sota authority on animal husbandry, said pig losses due to the cold were heavy. The spring crop there is about 23 percent larger than 1935. Nebraska Output Grows. A. E. Anderson, Nebraska statis tician, said approximately 442,000 sows were expected to farrow, which is 30 percent more than last year but 50 percent below the 1930-33 average. Losses this spring have not been abnormal. Kansas losses because of cold weather were about normal, II. L. Collins, federal statistician in that state, estimated. A 35 percent In crease over last jear in the pig crop was indicated. North Dakota's crop last year was 300,000 head and a GO percent in crease is expected according to Ben Kienholz, federal statistician. J. E. Pyle, West Fargo packer, said this increase was a conservative estimate. Farrowings are mostly in April, and weather so far has been favorable with expected to be about normal.
