Pap illion and MrsV J. -A to-ae!an a'fe aC Lincoln attending: the -Nebraska-Min nesota football "game." - ; WABASH NEWS Ralph Richards began gathering his corn crop last week and found the yield as good as he had expect ed. P. H. Clark has been picking his corn and reports a yield ranging all the way from 15 to 25 bushels to the acre. Roy Stanley has been building some fences on the farm which he recently purchased from the Ober naulte estate. The place is occupied by the W. II. McBride family. Mr. and Mrs. H. II. Gerbcling had as guests last. Sunday, Mrs. Ralph Colbert and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Mc Coy of Lincoln. Both ladies are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Gerbe ling. Pupils of the Wabash school en joyed a birthday party at school on Wednesday of last week in honor of Miss Lola Dehnning, the 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dehnning. H. P. Dehnning of Elmwood was a visitor at the home of his son Harry last Sunday and with the lat ter and family and Clifford Browne and family went over to Union to purchase some apples. Emil Bauer of Waverly, who has been a patient at the Veterans hos pital near Lincoln, is reported con siderably improved. Air. Bauer is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. H. II. Gerbeling of Wabash. Ralph Richards has completed the seeding of his allotment of wheat land, amounting to 50 acres, with about 10 for Roy Stanley, some 52 on the farm of Wm. Rueter and a lesser amount alloted to his son Albert. All the seed was safely in the ground before the rain which fell Wednesday evening and should have a good start as a result of the moisture. Sherman Hardaway, who visited around Bolivar, Missouri, was well acquainted with the sheriff there who was shot last week by a paroled convict, and says he was a very fine law enforcement officer, well liked by all who knew him. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd McCoy, of Lin coln left last Monday for a vacation trip to Illinois, planning to visit at the home of Mr. McCoy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William McCoy, who re side near Peoria. En route home, they will also visit briefly with rel atives at St. Louis and Little Rock, Arkansas. ! Robert Barden, who has Wen in the west, working in Wyoming and Oregon and seeing the country in Idaho, Utah, Washington, California and the western part of Nebraska, ar rived home last week and says em ployment was scarce out that way. If he is able to find work here, he plans to remain, but if not he will go to Iowa in search of a corn pick ing job. Grew Corn without a Horse Ye old time farmer would gasp at such an announcement as this, yet it is true. Frank Marshall has a farm on which he raised 160 acres of corn this year, with the power all furnished by tractor. This in cluded plowing and discing the ground, planting the seed and culti vating the crop. Although no horse was in the field during the growth and maturity of the crop, now that it has cimc time to harvest it, the service of old dobbin has become necessary in carrying on this work. Mr. Marshall says the yield will run from 20 to 25 bushels per acre for the entire field, with some portions making as much as 30 and others going as low as 10. Creek Nearly Dry For some time the Weeping Water creek east of Wabash has had no water in it, while west of town there are some patches of water, extend ing clown almost to Wabash. Along the creek, as it passes through the farm of Roy Stanley, there is some water still coming from the springs, but not enough to continue the flow as far as Weeping Water. The drying up of this stream has worked a distinct hardship on the farmers who have depended on it to supply water -for their stock and the increasing scarcity of well water has added further to' the difficulty. .. Pipe Plays Havoc with Pants Road Commissioner Louis Schmidt was decked out in a new pair of overalls one day last week, replacing the' pair that became afire from his pipe the day before As Mr. Schmidt and his assistant, W. E. Murfin, were driving to their "work in the country, smoke began pouring from the hip pocket of Mr. Schmidt, who began tearing at his clothing so frantically that Mr. Murfin thought he was turning nudist. With the aid of their jug of drinking wa ter, the fire was extinguished. Just how Mr. Schmidt got. Lome, with jio barrel to shield hi lii from the blistering sun or the gaze of the' ever curious, we are not advised.' The fire was started from the pipe of the genial road com missioner. , ' . ! 1 i Platters Win from Sidney by 19 to 0 Score locals Show Superior Play Through out Many Players See Action After the Game On Ice From Friday's Pally The visiting Sidney, Iowa, foot ball team last evening ran into the well clicking Platter high school team, the result being a 19 to 0 score for the Platters.

Rodney was an extremely high strung, erratic, and irritable boy in school, the pivot of constant turmoil among the members of his family iri the home, and a source of worry to his mother, who was separated from her husband. Teachers stated that Rodney was a bright boy, capable of doing his work, if and when he would con centrate upon it. The juvenile court referred him to a psychiatrist, who spent an hour a day for eight days studying the boy. At the conclusion of his examina tion his diagnosis was that Rodney's sole difficulty was due to permitting himself to become pre-occupied, worrying about the troubles at home and his mother's having to assume the responsibilities which were rightfully those of the father. He recommended that Rodney be re moved from his home environment, suggesting that if his worry could thus be relieved he would become a normal boy. We succeeded in interesting a rela tive of the family who liked Rodney and knew exactly what his situation t. Plattsmouth 25 and returned it to the 33 yard line. First and ten for the Platters.

His mother, . too,, realizing that the environment was bad, consented to surrendering custody of her son to the relative for one year. Enrolled in a public school in an other city within the county, Rod ney occasionally visited his home, and, instead of being troublesome there, he suggested ways by which many of the family difficulties could be eliminated. At the end of the year at the rel ative's home, Rodney returned to his own, his nervous tension eased and his attitude changed. Such excellent results ps this can be accomplished when the court has the co-operation of a relative or friend. Had Rodney continued to live unguided in his own home, he would, without doubt, have quit school as quickly as the compulsory education laws would have permitted him to do bo. The court's action as sures his graduation from high school in the near future. 6 yards over right tackle, fourth and two. Noble punted to the Sidney 14 yard line.

MANY ATTEND COURSE At the meeting of those interested in the course, "Improvement of Read ing," held today, Mr. Calvin A. Reid stressed the importance of interest as a factor in reading. ."Only when children are interested will their reading be meaningful, purposeful and worthwhile. Teachers should use different methods in determining and arousing pupils' interests." He further stressed the need for parents enrolling their children in the first grade at the age of six in stead of five. Too many five year olds are unmatured, inexperienced and uninterested in reading activi ties. There is also danger of im pairing their vision because the eyes are not normally developed until they are seven to eight years old. By taking this course, which gives three hours residence credit from the Peru State Teachers college, the teachers will be doing work for an advanced certificate. Those holding the Nebraska third grade elementary school certificate must have 24 se mester hours of college credit, in cluding six hours in education be fore receiving the General Elemen tary school certificate which i3 the next one.
