Coatman with his big threshing outfit has been busy south erst of town, threshing for the Miller toys, Mel. Joy and Perry and just as ho completed these settings, the rain came and he had to lay off lor a time. However, the boys were verv well satisfied with the returns and that they had gotten their threshing so far alcng. When the hot winds came at critical time i nd threatened to greatly redu'-e the small grain yield, a "break" in the, weather aided in filling cut the grain j very satisfactorily, and now rain has made the corn snap out of its tem porary drouth lull, giving promise of in abundant, crop in that line this year. Marketing of the wheat crop MILLION LIVES has brought a nice inflow of money to the community, increasing busi ness, and with the bright prospects for a good corn yield, everybody is happy. True, the grasshoppers are offering some threat, but aside from a few scattered fields, the damage to corn has not been great so far.

Ak pour nrxahbori John, ftlary and Jack DENTISTRY and PUBLIC HEALTH Approved by American Dental Association and the United States Public Health Service PLATTSMOUTH DENTAL SOCIETY CHAPTER XXII One evening shortly after little Jack Reynolds had passed his fifth birthday, he climbed upon his fath er's knee for his daily "rough-house." For fully a half hour, father and son pulled and tugged and tussled with each other. At the end of thir ty minutes, father, worn out, called a halt to the proceedings and lay back on the davenport to rest. Jack climbed up beside him and. bringing his face close to his dad's, gritted his teeth and growled ferociously. With Jack's mouth directly in his line of vision, John observed that something was wrong with his son's teeth, but, for the life of him, he couldn't determine what it was. Finally, after the third or fourth growl, he realized that the front tc-eth had unsightly spaces between them. "Mary," he called to his wife, "come here a minute quick:" Mary dropped her dish towel and came running in from the kitchen. "I told you not to play so rough with that boy," began Mary. "Now I suppose you've hurt him." "Don't get excited your son's not hurt." replied John; "but look do yvu see anything wrong with his teeth?" "There can't be anything wrong with his teeth," replied Mary. "I brush them every day myself. And Dr. Young looked at them last week. He says Jack lias a perfect set of teeth." "There is something wrong just the same", said John. "Look how far apart his front tc-eth are. Peo ple's teeth are supposed to be close together. Your teeth are close to gether so are mine. Why do you suppose Jack teeth are not? Poor little kid he looks like a South African native one of those bush men who file their teeth apart." Mary looked at Jack's teeth, but paid nothing. Had her husband been watching, he would have seen a mis chievous twinkle in her eye. The more John looked and talked, the more disturbed he ber-ame. "Gee, honey," he said, "you bet ter have Dr. Young do something about that before Jack's second teeth come in suppose his second teeth have spaces between them that would be terrible." "Now don't get all wrought up, clear." said Mary. "I noticed those spaces between his teeth four months ago; if you had benn the least bit observing, you would have noticed them sooner yourself.' I'll admit that when I first saw them. I was wor ried; but Dr. Young tells me that there is nothing to worry about. He says that a five-year-old child should have spaces between his front teeth. You see Jack is growing. His jaws are getting longer and broader as he grows older; and Dr. Young assures me that the wider the spaces be tween these baby teeth, the more room there will be for his larger, permanent teeth. That extra space is needed because the permanent teeth are so much baby teeth." "What a relief!" than the said John. "That explanation sounds very reasonable. For a few minutes, were going to have I thought we a bushman or Hottentot in our family." (Continued) SMALL GRAIN FOR FEED LINCOLN, Neb., July 23 (UP) With heavy vlieat crops pouring in to Nebraska bins, farmers are turn ing their attention to small grain feeding of livestock, the Nebraska University college of agriculture an nounced today. Prof. W. J. Loefiel. of the animal husbandry department, advised small grain feeding, adding that wheat is an especially good hog feed, and is more valuable, when coarsely ground, than corn. Corn shortage and resultant high er prices due to the drouth, LocfTel said, justify the assertion that wheat is equal bushel for bushel as a sub stitute for corn feeding. Experiments made by the depart ment showed wheat more palatable than corn. Shriveled wheat fed in stead of heavy grain, also resulted in equally heavy weight gains in live stock, Loeffel announced. lisliiiri urn 1 Lai-..I -f--w'.,. k-j?..- -sm rTJ".

Many of the farmers are plowing a strip along their corn fields, which they are sowing to oats, hoping in this way to provide a succulent crop of tender blades to appease the ap petites of the grasshoppers and thus keep them from going into the corn fields.
