John, Ylary and Jack DENTISTRY and PUBLIC . HEALTH Approved by American Dental Association and the United States Public Health. Service PLATTSMOUTH DENTAL SOCIETY CHAPTER XXVIII Young Jack Reynolds felt quite proud of himself as he stepped down from the dentist's chair. He had just had his front baby teeth extracted and he had undergone the operation like a true man. "Did it hurt. Jack?" asked his father as he admiringly patted his son oil the back. "No, sir," replied the boy, "only my lip feels kinda funny." Dr. Young laughed. "Your lip feels funny because of the anaesthetic which I gave you before we pulled the teeth." "What's an anaesthetic?" asked Jack. "An anaesthetic," explained the dentist, "is a certain kind of medi cine which I put in your gums to prevent pain. The effects of that medicine will wear away in a short time and your lips will no longer feel funny or numb." "Why is it necessary, doctor, to give a child an anaesthetic before extracting a baby tooth?" asked Jack's father. "Would you like to have one of your teeth extracted without an anaesthetic?" parried the dentist. "Can't say that I would." replied Mr. Reynolds, "but the cases are not the same. Permanent teeth have long roots embedded in the bone. There were scarcely any roots left on Jack's baby teeth." "That's very true," said the den tist. "However, the roots of Jack's teeth were not completely resorbed." Picking up the extracted teeth, he explained: "You see each one of these teeth has a small portion of its root intact next to the crown. The root fragments are from an eighth to three-sixteenths of an inch in length. The gum tissue which was firmly attached to the root frag ments is richly supplied with nerves. Had I ruthlessly extracted Jack's teeth without deadening the nerve ends, I would have subjected him to some pain. I knew the teeth would come out very easily; never theless, the operation would have been painful. There is no use of needlesslv hurting anyone, especially a child. "Jack has been coming into this office regularly, twice a year, for the past four years. On none of those occasions has he been hurt. He has developed a wholesome interest in his teeth. He is going to grow up with no fear of dental operations. Often it is fear that keeps people from getting their teeth fixed. That v.as the main reason why I gave Jack an anaesthetic not that the opera tion was so severe, but to prevent him from developing any antipathy toward dental care."

Her IS years of experience as the only woman employe of the railway mail service of the Cleveland post office has made her familiar with Ohio's towns and also Indiana's 1,060 cities and villages. She says her average day's job of sorting and placing in the proper pigeonholes 17,280 pieces of mail, is "just all in a day's work."

Corn Crop is Cut 100,000,000 During August Private Crop Forecasters at Chicago Agree That Crop Has Suffered Heavily From Heat. CHICAGO, Sept. 2 (UP) Drouth reduced America's corn crop more than 100,000,000 bushels during August, five private crop forecasters agreed today. The five experts predicted a 1937 crop of 2.625,000,000 bushels in their monthly report, a drop of 156, 000,000 bushels from that of August 1. Today's estimate v.as 34,000,000 bushels less than the government of last month. The department of agri culture August estimate placed tha probable corn yield at 2,659,000,000 bushels. The private estimate of August 1 was 2,771,000.000 bushels. Despite sharp reductions in the probable yield caused by severe drouth conditions through several of the major corn producing states in the early weeks of August, the esti mate ran far ahead of the actual yield. Farmers harvested 1,524.000, 000 bushels last year. The individual estimates: B. W. Snow: Corn, 2,6:58,000,000; Spring wheat, 184,000,000. Nat C. Murray: Corn, 2,793,000,- 000; Spring wheat, 208,000,000. H. C. Donovan: Corn, 2,680,000, 000; Spring wheat, 200,000,000. R. O. Cromwell: Corn, 2.638,000, 000; Spring wheat 204,000.0000. Mrs. E. H. Miller: Corn, 2,596,000, 000;. Spring wheat, 177,000,000. In addition the firm of James E. Bennett and Co. estimated the corn crop at 2,858,000,000 and the spring wheat yield at 192,000,000 bushels. Despite the damage done byxAugust drouth conditions in Nebraska, Iowa, parts of Illinois and in the Dakotas the crops in all of the corn states will be of bumper proportions al though not as great as expected in the early summer. BUFFALO HERD ROAMS ALONG BIGHT-OF-WAY CLAYTON, N. M. (UP) The un usual sight of buffalo roaming along a railroad right-of-way near here caused trainmen to bat their eyes in amazement. Motorists also reported seeing the animals. Clayton officers and cowhands went to the scene and pursued the beasts in two automobiles. When they ap proached too close the animals turn ed and charged. Screaming auto horns caused them to turn tail and flee again. Ivan Shoemaker, brand inspector, quit the motor chase and got a horse. The horse on sighting the buffalo ran in the opposite direction. George Divers, cowboy, lassoed one of the beasts, but it snapped his rope. Shoemaker threw the next loop and his rope went to shreds. Ike Coch ran, top-hand cowpuncher, finally made a catch that held. Where the animals came from is a mystery. Plattsmouth Is ihe rseaT large; town snopping center for all Cass county people.

(UP) If sci ence has its way romance will be de leted from the life of the queen bee. In an effort to improve bee strains by controlling the mating of the queen, experiments have been con ducted successfully with artificial insemination of the laboratories of the University of Louisiana here. Left to mate without interference of science, the queen bee ordinarily wings her way to a tryst high in the air in spring, her choice of a mate being a matter of chance, according to Dr. Otto Mackensen, of the Unit ed States Bureau of Entymology in charge of the experiments. As a result. Dr. Mackensen explain ed, science has found it all but im possible to improve the strains by selective breeding. Initial experi ments have proved so successful, he declared, plans now are being form ulated to make artificial insemination of the queens of commercial value to bee culture. As a result of appropriations of more than $10,000 sponsored by Gov. Richard W. Leche for control of bee diseases, bee culture in Louisiana has grown to such proportions that this spring 30,000 queens accompanied by 40,000,000 workers were shipped to various points throughout the United States. Many of the bee colonies are sent to owners of fruit orchards who use the bees to spread pollen and increase their crops.

Hearings now are being cor.Jucted by examiners appointed by the ctate railway commision in order to permit truckers to prove their so-called j "Grandfather" right under Legisative Bill No. 178, in which hearings it is necessary for the trucker to prove that he was in operation prior to the first of April, 1936, in the territory which he then was covering, and that he has been in operation since that time and covered the territory in question. The examiners appointed by the commission will conduct hearings in all counties of the state for the con venience of the truckers, and they will aid in every- way in bringing out the facts in the case. It is not neces sary for any trucker to have an at torney at the hearings. When the hearings have been concluded, the ex aminers will stay as long as is neces sary in the particular town in ques tion to aid truckers who have not yet completed applications in correcting them, giving such advice and infor mation as any trucker might want. The dead line on filling applications, if a trucker is to preserve all his rights, is October 16, 1937. It is not necessary for a trucker to hire anybody or join any associa tion to have his application properly completed, but, if he does think it necessary for advice and does not find it convenient to contact our ex aminers at the various county seat towns while thev are there, any law yer undoubedly will be willing to give the few minutes which will be requir ed, and at the most the charge will be nominal. The commission is most interested in seeing that this law and the commission be not used as a ve hicle by any organization or persons to milk the trucker. TO HOLD EZUNI0N Members of the Chriswisser and Haney families are to stage a reunion at Garfield park in this city on Sun day, September 12. The event is ex pected to bring a large number here from Mills county, Iowa, as well as from all sections oZ Cass county. B0Y BUILDS MINIATURE TOWN i PAIXESVILLE. O.

Discard Unified Serrice Plan During the past three months the unified Sunday school-church plan has been in effect, but a vote taken by the Sunday school and the church boards last Sunday morning revealed a general desire to return to the old system of having Sunday school and church in separate services.

Epidemic Among Hcrses Several farmers of the vicinity nave been unfortunate to the extent of having horses become afflicted ' with sleeping sickness. Some horses have died, while others are gradual ly getting better. Among the farmers whom we have learned that have sick horses are S. C. Hardnock, Walter Collins, Charle3 Holmes and Charles Martin. It is hoped that a cure may be ef fected for this malady and the loss through death not prove heavy in this vicinity. Corn Crop Going into Silos A large percentage of the corn crop is being put into silos this week. The farmers are making a great ef fort toward saving as much of the feed for the stock as possible. Farmers have attempted in vain to grow fall pastures, but grasshopper infestation has frustrated their ef forts. So, with a second siege of hot winds and dry weather during the present season, causing a heavy loss daily to the feed value of the corn, farmers have been finding it rather difficult to secure the use of enough corn binders and ensilage cutters to meet their needs in this line. BOOSTERS VISIT THE CITY Fiom Thursday's Daily This morning a delegation of tho Weeping Water citizcr.s were here to visit our city and extend the invi tation to come to Weeping Water when the county fair is to be held. The delegation was accompanied by the band which gave several num bers.
