Allen News: Bert Francisco and family attended church hero Sun day..., Dane DeLaney and family, Sioux City Journal, 22: John A. Woods, about 55 years old, of Ho mer, Neb., was found dead in -a room of the Gibson hotel, Third and Douglas streets, yesterday after noon. The door and windows wore tightly closed and an open gas jet poured its fumes into the room. Whether Woods committed suicide or was the victim of an accident could not be determined. The man appeared to have been dead for sev eral hours before the body was found. Officials of the -gas company, who brought a pultnotor soon after the death was reported to police head quarters, did not attempt to rivive the man, sayingitwould be hopeless. William Ellerd, 1316 Morningside avenue, a paper hanger who was working in the hotel, noticed the odor of gas escaping from the room and tiied to open the door. It was locked on the inside and he broke it down. He found the body in the bed under a blanket. The posture indicated that Woods was overcome while asleep. Police headquarters were notified and Patrolman John Ohland conducted an investigation. He found nearly $40 in the clothes of the dead man. No papers of im portance were in his clothing, but hotel letter heads found in a note book showed he had been traveling through South Dakota recently. C. L. Jeffery, proprietor of the hotel, said that Woods paid for a room early Tuesday night, but did not go to bed until late. He appeared ex tremely nervous while registering.

The men who will re ceive these gifts are Harry Broyhill, who is training in the aviation corps in England; Isaac Cooloy, who is serving in the Philippines, and George Miller and Harry Schmidt, who are with Gen. Pershing in France. Mrs. G. F.

There are fifteen other men from that town who are at various armv posts throughout the country. However, their pres ents will not be sent until later. Farm Notes.

"Let's l'UUNlNG TKKES Any surplus time at this season of the year may be profitably utilized in pruning trees about the plnce, ac cording to the horticultural depart ment of the College of Agriculture. The dead wood and crowded branch es of course must be "removed. Smooth, clean wounds should be made and then smeared over with lead paint. Spongy tissues from old cavities should be cut away. The cavities should then be washed with creosote and filled with ment. This latter operation best bo undertaken on one of warm days at this time of year. FEEDING SOFT CORN' One of the most profitable uses for soft corn will be in feeding hogs and steers, according to the depart ment of animal husbandry of the University of Nebraska. One would be justified in feeding considerable protein supplement in conjunction. Oil meal and cottonseed meal are relatively cheap taking into consider ation the cost of good corn. Ex periments have proved that they are worth more than their own weight in corn for feeding cattle. DON'T GIVE UP THE COWS The farmer who keeps dairy cows during the present period of high priced feed will be repaid in the end, according to dairy experts of the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Nebraska. On account of the efficiency and econo my of production the dairy cow will be called upon more and more as the war continues, and the loss of dairy cows in European countries will result in a heavy demand for American dairy products and breed ing stock after the war is over. USE MORE POULTRY AND EGGS Poultry and eggs at the present time should not be considered luxu- uries but more than ever should bo widely used on menu lists. The use of poultry and eggs will save more of the red meats for the 'army and navy and for exportation to our al lies. The work of preparing poul try products for the table can be done at home, an important consid eration when the shipment of all needless foud supplies must be avoid ed. Use more poultry and eggs at home. WELL-PLANNED MEALS "Select food wisely and prepare simply; cook well and serve attrac tively. Make sure there is no waste in preparation, in serving, and in use as a left-over," this is one of tho messages to Nebraska women in "Well-Planned Meals," a bulletin just issued by tho Agricultural Ex tension Service of the University of Nebraska. Some of the less expen sive foods are enumerated, and tho needs of the average family discus sed. Free copies of the bulletin may be obtained by writing to tho mille tin Clerk, University Farm, Lincoln, Neb. PLANTING HULUS Bulbs for outdoor spring flowers may be planted any time before the ground freezes, according to the de partment of horticulture of the University of Nebraska. If the soil is poor, a little well-rotted manuro may be added. Be sure the ground has plenty of moisture. Tho bulbs should be planted too deep rather than too shallow. Five inches is about tho right depth for hyacinths and tulips. After tho -ground is frozen, a mulch Bhould bo spread over tho beds. PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTV COMMISSIONERS. (OFFICIAL.)
