Marshal farm, which was being done Wed nesday of last week, showed a yield of about 23 bushels to the acre, and the grain was of very good quality. Daniel Rueter had the misfortune to lose one of his faithful horses one day last week. The hot, dry weather has been plenty hard on animals as well as human beings. Guy Hinds and the family were enjoying a visit at Avoca last Sun day, being guests at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Brendel. They got home ahead of the dust storm and were well pleased they were not out on the road when it struck. Alexander Jones, who resides near South Bend and has been having dif ficulty getting enough water for his stock, had a new well dug, which at the very shallow depth of thirteen feet produced an abundance of good water, and it seems it cannot be pumped dry.

They made the trip, both going and coming, via the Union Pacific on one of their air conditioned trains and found travel ing in this manner most comfortable. There was no tire trouble or run ning out of gasoline either. They had a very pleasant visit in the west. Decided Not to Go L. R. Stanley and John C. Browne were planning on going to Topeka for the notification ceremonies last Thursday when Governor Alf Lan don was to be informed (as if he al ready didn't know it) that the re publicans have chosen him as their candidate for president, but after due consideration abandoned the idea, as Mr. Stanley was busy with his duties as postmaster and Mr. Browne was likewise busy taking care of the incoming wheat at the elevator. They were able to hear the proceedings over the radio without having to make' a hot and dusty trip to Topeka, as did thousands from the middle west, in fact all over the na tion. Visited Friends Here Clement Clarke, a former Wabash boy, who has been making his home in Omaha, accompanied by Edward Carey, were visitors here last Sun day, coming down from the metrop olis to visit with Pias H. Clarke, a brother of the former. They found him busy threshing at the farm of Frank Marshall, but he joined them in a visit at Weeping Water, where a most pleasant time was had. Selected the Wrong Spot Warren T. Richards has been the owner of a horse of uncertain age. which was afflicted with rheumatism and a number of other ailments, to such an extent that it was expected to die shortly. Warren desired to have the horse remain in a certain place so that the ordeal of burial miglit be less laborious, but the ani mal concluded to and did stray off to another place and thus died in Nudists, Beware!

Have Returned to Wabash Clifford Browne and the family, who have been making their home at Maryville, Mo., for the past two years, moved back to Wabash again last week and are now nicely settled in their old home town. Mr. Browne has secured employment with the Ole Olsen quarries at Weeping Wat er, where he is now working. In company with the family, they were all over to Havelock last Sun day, where they visited at the home of his brother, William Browne and family. What Do You Think of This? Now comes the report of a local dealer in automobiles who handles many of the leading brands, of find ing sales for seven cars last Monday. If this is so, where is the money coming from for the winter's coal, clothing for the family and other necessities? Of course, the automo bile is essential and in many in stances has taken the place of Old Dobbin. But the sale of seven cars in a single day in a rural district such as this seems to us rather out of the ordinary. DOING VERY NICELY Miss Rose Prohaska, member of the faculty of the city schools, who was operated on Wednesday at the Meth odist hospital at Omaha, is now re ported as doing very nicely. Miss Prohaska has been suffering from ap pendicitis and it was found neces sary to have the operation performed in order to give her relief.

W. Whitaker Says, "Good Wild Life Cover Is Good Erosion Control Cover." One and one-half billion dollars! That's the annual value of the na tion of fish, birds and game animals, recent surveys show. "The wild life crop," says II. W.

Protecting wild life is recognized as one of the best possible ways to protect soil, he points out. The best erosion control is usually vegetative. The best wild life management is usually the improvement of the vege tative good and cover. Good wild life cover is good erosion control cover. "There is," says Whitaker, "a per fect sqnehronization of the interests involved in the problem of soil con servation and wild life conservation." The value of game crop produced can be used to partially justify the cost of many erosion control meth ods, farmers are told. Increase from wild life can be used to help pay taxes on forest lands or to supple ment the low incomes of submar ginal farms. Erosion control programs, it is ex plained benefit wild life by conserv ing water and soil, by increasing the organic layer of forests and fields and by encouraging more grass and shrubs which the land has as cover.
