Her son, Hamilton E. Mark of this city, was with the mother when the end came. Myrtle Belle Vallery, eldest child of the late Conrad and Frances Val lery was born at Mynard, Nebraska on June 5, 1878 on the old Vallery homestead, which is now occupied by a sister and brother-in-law ot the deceased, Mr. and Mrs. Henry G.

Nebraska where they had farmed for many years, and where the son, Hamilton, of this city, was born. In 1924 the husband, Edgar Mark, was called to the last rest and following his death the wife made her home in Cass county for a short time; later going to Auburn, and for the last several years has made her home largely in- Omaha and where she passed away this morning at the age of sixty-one years.

SIGNING WHEAT LOANS Farmers of Cass county will have an opportunity in tne next ie weeks to sign the "Wheat Flan for Farticipation in 1940." indicating whether or not they plan to parti cipate in the 1940 AAA wheat pro gram. Farm program community commit- tcemen'are just going into the field. vith these plans, according to Al- fred Gansemer. chairman of the County Agricultural Conservation committee. " rtv Blcniiicr the form. . which s similar to the farm plan used for the 193 9 program last .-.pring, the farmer indicates that he intends to participate in the 1940 wheat pro gram by planting within the acreage allotment for his farm. Only by signing the wheat plan can a farmer become eligible for a 1940 parity payment on wheat. Un less the form is signed, the farm will eecosooosococoQCoccccecey CLEAN-UP n s oress f raivs $1 A Good Idea! 8 Wescott's I Where Quality Counts S not ;be checked for compliance with the parity payment program next year, Mr. Gansemer points out. At the same time that they are circulating wheat plans, community committeemen are selling crop lnsur -ance, which is available to all wheat growers of the county under the im proved 1940 crop insurance program. A farmer who begins to plant wheat on his farm without having signed these forms forfeits his oppor tunity to sign either of them Mr Gansemer pointed out.

From Mtnday's Daily The Texaco Service station lo cated on South Chicago avenue and the Louisville road, was visited by burglars last night and money to the extent of $27 was missing from the safe, check by George Winscot, the proprietor shows. From the indications around the station the burglar party had made two trips to the station, apparently trying the windows and failing and later returning and jimmied the door, tire marks Indicating the two visits. The glass in the door was broken but it was necessary to jimmy the door to get into the sales room of the station. The combination knob of the safo had been knocked off and entrance gained to the interior of the safe and the drawers removed and some of these containing chocks, were found later in the driveway, but all of the cash in the safe had been removed. The office of the sheriff was noti fied and Deputy Sbcri.T Emery Domly was on the job today to investigate the robbery and locate any clues possible. CREDIT FOR NEW CRIBS Farmers who will need new eribi or bins in order to extend their l'J.'IY and 1938 corn loans will be able to obtain credit locallv. accord inir to the County Agricultural Conserva tion committee. Mr. Kaffenberger said he hed con tacted local banks and lumber deal ers and found them anxious to lend a hand in helping farmers establish ad ditional storage facilities. In addi tion, loans will be available through the Farm Security Administration. It is assumed that farmers will be able to pay a large part of the cost of new structures by obtaining th" storage credit advance of seven cents a bushel offered under the resealing program. Loans for the balance may then be obtained locally. It was also pointed out that if farmers expect a fair price for theJ"" corn-hie 'year, they should cooperate fully in the corn loan program by holding their corn on the farm. Only by maintaining the ever-normal granary on the farm, he said, can farmers hope to stabilize feed anJ livestock supplies, protecting both producers and consumers.
