CUPID SHOULD DDK Birthday Surprise Party. From Saturday's Dally. Mrs. Henry Ofe had invited nuumber of her lady friends to come to tier pleasant, home yes terday afternoon to assist her in properly commemorating her birthday anniversary. While the afternoon's entertainment was in progress Mrs. Ofe was most com pletely surprised when a number of her lady friends walked m on her. Mrs. Ofe had no idea that the ladies hail been planning so pleasant a surprise in honor of this most auspicious event, her birthday anniversary, and so when the invaders came in on her she was at once taken by surprise, but soon recovered and proceeded to entertain her guests in a royal manner. The afternoon hours were most delightfully spent, there being several games of cards played, which were inter spersed with various amuse ments and other games, while sociability reigned supreme. Mrs. Ofe had prepared one of her love ly lunches and the invaders hail brought the necessary fixings for a nice lunch and these lunches were combined and at. a con venient hour an elegant luncheon was served.

McKolvie for national vice president of the advertising clubs is being pushed by the Nebraska men and is being received with favor by many of the other delegates. The election of officers took place Fri day afternoon. Mr. Mr.Kelvie delivered a speech before the convention Wednesday afternoon. It looks as though Dallas, Texas, is likely to secure the next na tional convention. , The Lincoln party is having an especially good time. The delegates were given a free automobile ride to the points of interest, in and about Boston Friday and will participate in the clam bake tonight.

CONFLICTING REPORTS ABOUT WHEAT CROPS W. B. Esslck Writes In Omaha Paper That Crop Is Poor Many Contradict Him. Now comes W. I. F.ssick, a Cass uounly fanner, living near Man- ley, and says in a letter to an Omaha paper that Nebraska has anything but a bumper wheat crop this year. "When the spring wheal, is threshed," he says, "we will find that we have an average of about 18 or 19 bushels to the acre." He adds that when he was a boy in Ohio a crop averaging 20 bushels or less was considered a poor crop. He vvriles that he has been over the stale some nml lm seen fields I hat were not, worth eulling and others that would not average more than 5 bushels. The railway reports show that there will be n big crop of wheat, and many farmers bear out the reports. There are, of course, good and had fields in tho same locality, hut many farmers in Cass county say that their wheat will average up to that of past years.

Plaltsirioiitb's Commercial club should mnke some inducement to Cupid win-rib' he will give more attention I his city ami secure better results for the town. The little god of love hasn't ft very good record here, and he ought to be induced to come here with his' bow and arrows and do a little! more execution with the poisoned darts. Marriage license statistics for this county show some interesting figures, one of the items of in terest being the comparatively few licenses taken out during a year. It has long been known that the little son of Venus likes the excitement of the cities and causes them to get more than their proportion of marriages, hut still the Journal can prove to him that he is neglecting this part of the world. Too many couples in this county seem to be needlessly delaying the step that leads to happy-ever-afferward land. During the twelve months end ing July 31, 124 couides took out license in the county court fo marry. This is an average of ten and one-third licenses a month; too few for a county of this population, but perhaps Omaha and Lincoln cut in on Cass coun ty's proportion. They say that June is the month for brides, but not, so in this count'. December is the most favored month for mar riages here, with March and Octo ber a close second. Tennyson says that a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love in the springtime, but the drouth last spring must have affected lovers just like it did the pas tures, for April, with only eight licenses, and May with nine are among the poorest months of the year. July was the poorest month of all, with only five licenses issued. The licenses for the last twelve months follow: August, 8; September, 8; October, 14; No vember, 12; December, 15; Jan uary, 7; February, 12; March, 14; April, 8; May, 9; June, 12; July, 7. During these twelve months the average ae of the men who married was 27 years and the average age of the wom en was 2i. This proves that there is still hope for a lot of you. Of course, the gerat. majority of people marry between the ages or 21 to 30. There are about, the same number that marry at 20 or under as between 31 and 40. Mar- riages between 41 and 50 are few and far between, while above that they are exceptional enough to at tract, attention. Lewis Cowles of Platlsmouth has the honor of being the young est man who took out a license during the last year, being but 18. Benjamin Franklin Land of Wymore and his bride were the youngest couple, Ben being 19 and his bride 18. Mabel Beel Phil by of Des Moines and Bertha T. Cropp of Weeping Witter had the honor of being the youngest brides. mi m m .-yril Wt- 1 Mm eg. U. S, Pat.

Large numbers of grasshoppers, are prevalent in the bottoms east of the Burlington depot, though no reports of damage have been received. From other points in the state, however, reports of much damage by grasshoppers have . been received. At some places the damage has been greater than that done by the drouth. Olof Olson, who lives seven miles from Waverly, says the Stale Journal, reports a total loss of 100 acres of corn from grass hoppes. The crops seem any thing but uniform. Reports from various sections predict anywhere from a third of a crop to fifty bushels an acre. Reports from farmers living but ten miles apart show entirely different condition to contend with.
