Yard, Garden
Contest for City
is Announced
P.ev. 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.
In addition to benefiting them
selves in these many ways, every
citizen who joins the Yard & -ar-den
Contest will help this city win
the distinction of being known as
"The City Beautiful." 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. "Vacant lots, it is hoped,
will be cleaned up and beautified by
neighborhood groups.
Personal advice on how to beau
tify your home grounds will also be
given by the general committee in
charge of the contest and by the
judges, for this movement is a thor
oughly constructive one. Each home
entered in the big competition will
be personally visited and inspected
by the judges. The contest will not
by any means be just a critical se
lection of the beautiful homes exisil
ing here at the present time.
Improvements made this year will
be particularly noted by the judges
and will be given especial credit in
the scoring. What the entrant began
with as well a3 the results accom
plished will be taken into consider
ation by the judges.

been endorsed by Mayer George Lush-
insky, municipal health authorities
and ledaing citizens.

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

Recent disclosure of some of the huge sums paid
out as AAA farm benefits raised the question of
to what extent agriculture has been established on
a huge scale. Payment of AAA benefits ranging
from $50,000 to $1,000,000. each to some corpora
tion farms, planters, ranchers and others indicated
a trend away from the homestead toward the huge
farming unit where groups of tenants or gangs
of hired hands worked under one control . Future

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.
SUFFERING FROM ILLNESS
Miss Emma Dellart, residing on

to her home for the past week and

She is now some better but still far
