Busy as Bees Now With the harvest now under way, Billie Ash and Walter Lovel are putting their threshing machines in good condition to handle the work. While the wheat yield will not be as' good per acre as last year, the acreage is considerably larger and the straw very heavy, making, in all probability a greater amount of threshing to be done, unless the com bines take away enough to more than make up for the added acreage. There have been a large number of combines sold in Cass county this year. Home from Vacation Mr. and Mrs. Boss Shields arrived home last Friday from a three weeks' vacation trp through Indiana.

City At torney Davi3 stated that the smoke was a very great nuisance at times and especially when the residents had their washings out in the court just north of the laundry building.

He also reported that the prospects were that the properties would all be handled and disposed of to good owners.

Chairman Tippens of the streets, alleys and bridges committee, report ed that the workmen had been busy in trying to get the dirt roads back in shape after recent rains.

The insurance com pany was ready to make the refund of the premiums paid over. Councilman Webb pointed out that Hatt had been certified to the coun ty assessor as a member of the fire department, that he had served as an active member of the department. If the insurance company did not wish to make a fair settlement of the case, then the city should cancel the pres- jent policies.

How would you like to participate in three days of mingling with other women who enjoy playing as ; ou do, others who have the same problems to solve and associating with others who have much to offer in the way of inspiration and entertainment. Three days with no worries about meal planning and preparation, dish wash ing, dusting, canning and all of the many odd jobs that ordinarily keep one so occupied. If this type of experience has an appeal, plan to attend Mothers Vaca tion camp at Camp Brewster, July 20-23 inclusive. This camp site is located on the wooded hills overlook ing the Missouri river, south of Om aha, on the Bellevue road. The fee will be $4.50 and the campers are to bring their own bed linen. If wish to attend please notify Farm Bureau office. you the 4-H Cluh Camp. Another interesting round cf tivities has been planned for 4-H members attending the 1937 district 4-H camp to be held at Brewster, one mile south of Omaha, Julv 25-28 in- j elusive. How nice it would be if all i the girls and boys enrolled in 4-H j clubs might attend this camp. What ! fun they will have playing with the ! other boys and girls as well as par- ticipatiug in handicraft periods, i sw imming and stunts. Other sports 'available will include tennis, volley j ball, kittenball. ping pong. etc. I Camp activities will start at 4:00 j p. m. Sunday with a swim for all, j followed by lunch and an evening i program. The first seventy-five Cass j county members to make application will be the ones privileged to attend. Application blanks and informa- tion have been sent to 4-H club lead I ers and club members should obtain blanks from them. e 'or Horses ; Cass county farmers intending to i feed newly-harvested rye to their from other feeds to rye.

Something there is about a fine jelly that is peculiarly satis fying. Its clear brightness, its yield ing firmness, its sweetness underlaid with the characteristic flavor of the fruit from which it is concocted, make it highly pleasing to the eye and to the tongue. Each lot of juice presents its own special jelly problems. The juice of one fruit differs from that of an other. Moreover a given fruit of last year may not be quite the same as "that of this year. And even thfs year's fruit may vary if grown under different conditions of weather and soil. There are still further varia- i tions because of differing stages of I maturity Too Jjf tsoon as the fruit is picked will oe- I havo somowhat differently than if there has been a lapse of several davs between the picking and the i cooking.

There are short cuts for making good old favorites, and ide as for delicious new drinks things you probably never thought of making at home before. To vary the flavor of the old stand-by, iced tea, garnish w ith sprigs of fresh mint, slices of orange, lemon or lime, or with cherries or strawberries. Post um can be safely enjoyed by those who cannot drink coffee or tea; for Postum contains no stimulant of any kind. It is a cereal beverage made of roasted whole wheat and bran.

Oozing out of cell sap from trees through wounds and split branches j which has been noticed locally is not I a disease. It is a result of a break j in the wood tissues. j Such was the essence of a report; received from Clayton W. Watkins, senior extension forester at the Xe- i braska college of agriculture. He I says the wound should be treated to i prevent weakening of the trees. It ; has happened particularly on Ameri- j can Elms this year. The loss of the j cell sap comes after branches have j been partially broken loose by wind or from wounds resulting from im-j proper pruning. j Here's how Forester Watkins re-! commends treating the wounds: "Cut j out all saturated and discolored bark i and wood tissue with a wood chisel i or gouge from the top and sides of FRIDAY AND SATURDAY l?onllt- !' ur-" l'r;rnm imr iilrley iU'l Jmi lr-.-y In Itomaiitie 'Too Many Wives' Tim M-'.v"j i-Mlrni 'Lighlnin' Bill Carson Also 'h:iptT 1 of N'iw Serial.
