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. They
traveled the new modern gipsy fash

While visiting relatives at certain
points in the Hoosier state, they con-
I fined their time to the trailer home
to sleeping there nights and prepar
ing their breakfasts there early in
the morning before their hosts were
accustomed to get up, while they ate
their other meals with the folks.
Speaking of the crops in that part
of the country, Mr. Shields says in
Indiana corn and small grain are
about the same as in Xebraska. In
Illinois the crops appear much better
than here and in Iowa about mid-
tiui an,j vhralra!
in contemplated yield and quality.
Here from Bakota
Mrs. Ernest Purdy and the child
ren, accompanied by A. R. Birdsall,
father of Mrs. Purdy, arrived in

Not Feeling the Best

the notions and news store, assisted
by his wife and son, has been in
poor health of late, having had con
siderable trouble with his stomach.

but not so as to come down town.
His friends hope he will soon be
able to be back on the job.
Thomas Christian Very Sick
Thomas Christian suuered a third
stroke Monday evening of this week
at his home here, where he has been
ill for some time. The first stroke
came upon his several months ago,
followed by a second a few weeks
later. He was then taken to the
University hospital in Omaha and
remained there a short time for
treatment, but was advised he might
as well return home, as no cure could
be effected and he would be as well
off at home as anywhere. This third
attack has left him in very serious
condition.
DEATH OF BABE
Sunday the infant child of Mr.
and Mrs. Lloyd Lewis, passed away
at the family home on South 6th

the smoke from the Plattsmouth
Steam laundry and asking that the
owner be required to place a higher
stack on the chimney to avoid the
smoke getting into the dwelling
places of the petitioners. 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.
The matter was referred by Mayor

the residents of block 57, city, in
which it was asked that the alley in
this block be closed, this being the

no further communication had been
received.

Mothers Vacation Camp.
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

Treat Tree Wounds.
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
