Reaching into your pocket to pay

then into the same pocket for money

Heflin, the spectacular old warhorse

Alfred E. Smith claimed after his

And now they are forecasting a
world shortage of wheat. Low prices
brought aboift large deductions in
acreage among the wheat growers so
the next swing in the wheat market
may be the other extreme of high
prices. They say there is $7.50 worth
of bakers’ bread in a bushel of wheat
at present prices of flour. Other pro
ducts of wheat such as breakfaet
foods, show as much as $21 a bushel.
It would seem that anyone with a
mental slant that permits him to drive
an uutomobile broadside into a moving
train at a railroad crossing in broad
daylight should previously hdhre been
locked up for safe keeping. If their
life only was at stake little concern
might be felt, but in most cases the
lives of innocent people are sacrificed
or at least jeopardized by the crimin
al carelessness of drivers. Railroad
officials say they are receiving daily
reports of crossing accidents where
drivers of automobiles have shown an
utter disregard for their own safety
as well as those with them. Some
seem never to learn that a railroad
train has a track to move on and is
not stopped and turned at will. It
is a simple matter to slow down, get
the automobile under control and look
to see if no train is coming before
proceeding over a crossing. Railroad
crossings are not so numerous along
tW> highways that this precaution
will take much ef a driver’s time.
Some weeks ago—or was it months
—a man died in O’Neill without mon
ey, without friends, without mourners,
without any to write an epitaph or
deliver an ealogy. His life had been
a barren desert so far as the standards
of Industry, culture, citizenship, are
able to measure lives. Worse than
that—it had been misspent in dissipa
tion. The parental training and home
influence had been that of the aver
age in the community. He had been
instructed and reared in the creed of
his fathers, but for long years had
abandoned church, had ignored spirit
ual advisors and followed the ways
that lead to death. But in the hour of
death, when the coffined clay was to
be laid away, did the church aband
on him? No. Its authoritive repre
sentative came like a ministering
angel and did all that can be done
at that gloomy hour. Men may be
come indifferent, may abandon the
church and spurn religion, but in the
last scene of the drama of life the
church does not abandon them.

Neb, City News: Brother Charley
was more or less upset because Mr.
Ritchie’s “letter of congratulation”
did not figuratively kiss the Gov. I,
too, have my mirthful moments. After
what the Gov., the Gov’s tax-paid
campaign managers and state-owned
army of inspectors, agents and spon
sors did to Mr. Ritchie, it is indeed a
Mirthful Moment for those who AL
WAYS appreciate Abdominal Stamina,
especially that of Our Charley, the
World’s Champeen in that w. k. re
spect. ASKING Mr. Ritchie to Forget
It, Come Into Camp and Lie-Down
Fido-and-Roll-Over, is almost like de
manding an apology from the chap
you’ve just Knocked Cold with your
speeding motor car. IF, as this de
partment suggested the other day,
Mr. Ritchie and his friends (of whom
some 45,000 were counted during the
primary) are smart, they’ll stay away
from Brother Charley, Tom Allen,
Gene O’Sullivan and all their artifices.
On the other hand, they’ll jump in to
help elect as governor of Nebraska
one Dwight Griswold of Gordon. This
is not only a good year for all good
men to come to the aid of the party:
It is a glorious opportune occasion to
rid this state of its Caliph of Bagdad.
Educational Notes
Most of the schools of the County
observed Arbor Day in the school on
last Friday by the planting of one or
more trees on their school ground in
memory of the George Washington
Bicentennial. Bronze metal plates
have been offered to the schools for
trees planted in the memory of the
Bicentennial by Mr. Watkins, Exten
sion Forrester, College of Agriculture,
at Lincoln. Any school who planted
a tree in memory of this time should
notify this office of the number of
trees planted and the program held in
memory of Arbor Day so that we may
get these markers for you.
The Inman Public School reports
a very successful Patron’s Day on
last Friday. Classes were held for
the benefit of the visitors and exhibits
of school work were shown. Many of
the patrons and parents visited the
school on the day.
The following districts reported
teachers for the coming year:
District No. 11—Esther Fuelberth
District No. 27—Margery Grutsch
District No. 58—Carmen Cobb
District No. 79—Marcella Hayes
District No. 146—Elizabeth Bauer.
The papers written by the seventh
and eighth graders have been corrected
and the grades are being recorded and
will be sent to the teachers soon.
County Superintendent, Luella A.
Parker, accompanied the Normal
Trainers of the Stuart Public School
visiting in the rural schools on Tues
day. They visited in District No. 72,
91, 136, 232 and 242. In each school
special stress was put on a certain
subject for the time the class was
there in order to bring out certain
points in teaching the subject.
The Sisters and pupils of St. Mary’s
Acadaniy are planning a Washington
Bicentennial Pageant to be held on
next Thursday evening. They have
kindly offered to repeat the pageant
on Friday afternoon in order to give
any teachers and pupils in the county
who wish to see this splendid produc
tion an opportunity to come in. The
various episodes in the life of George
Washington will be protVayed with
over two hundred pupils taking part
in it. I believe this will be a very
educational production and will repay
any teachers or pupils for the time
spent out of school to attend.
County Superintendent Luella A.
Parker, accompanied by Joy Custer,
Mildred Taylor and Francis Soukup
left Thursday morning to attend the
Spelling Contest at Siousc City and the
World-Herald Contest at Omaha. Joy
Custer of the Stuart Public School and
Mildred Taylor of District No. 122 will
enter the Inter-State Contest as
Champions of the County Contest and
Francis Soukup wiH enter the World
Herald Contest at Omaha as the Holt
county World-Herald Champion. Fran
cis’ mother, Mrs. Mattie Soukup and
Mrs. Elsie Hough accompanied them.
We are hoping that they may bring
back some winners.

Cutworms Are Active
Many small cutworms of the dark
sided variety have recently hatched
out in central Nebraska, O. S. Bare,
Extension Service entomologist of the
Agricultural College found last week
in his work with county agents of
that section. These small worms will
undoubtedly do some damage to corn
in May and June, Bare believes.
Farmers had reported damage to
alfalfa and early small grains in Ante
lope, Madison, Merrick, Polk, Ham
ilton, Platte, Adams and a few other
counties of that section. During the
past week, Bare has been in Merrick,
Polk, and Hamilton counties. He will
visit Antelope and Madison the week
beginning April 25th.
Damage being done now is mostly
due to the larger cutworms which
hatched out and developed to more
than the usual size last fall, Bare says.
He first thought all of the worms
would be matured and out of the way
by corn planting time, but the pres
ence of the small worms now indicates
that more trouble is likely to come
later.
Poison bran mash broadcast over
the alfalfa and grain fields or scat
tered along the corn row will control
the cutworms, farmers have found
who have followed Bare’s directions.
The formula is, 100 pounds of wheat
bran, five pounds of white arsenic, 2
quarts of blackstrap molasses, and
enough water to make crumbly mash.
Four pounds of Paris Green might
be used in place of the white arsenic.
The mash should be spread after four
o’clock in the afternoon, or on a cool
damp day so the worms will eat it
before it dries out. One hundred
pounds of bran will be enough for
15 acres broadcast or 20 acres of corn
when spread along the rows.
For the benefit of the doubting
Thomases who question whether or
not the cutworms will eat the poison
bran in preference to green feed, Bare
hasdemonstrated the popularity of the
bran mash by making a ring of the
bran mash about six feet in diameter
putting a few cutworms in the center
of the ring and then watching them.
Invariably they will all head toward
the wind, and crawl to the outside of
the ring to begin eating the mash.
The molasses in the mixture attracts
them for several feet. The demon
stration takes several minutes because
the speed of the cutworm compares
with that of the turtle in the fairy
tale, but the worms always get there
in a bee line and convince the skep
tical onlookers that they like the
poisoned bran.
