DOVEY SCHMADER TO FIGHT AT COLUMBUS SATURDAY Yesterday Andy Schmader, the Louisville boxer, accompanied by his training partners, "Kid" Graves and Ed Hart, motored over to spend a few hours here visiting with the Plattsmouth friends and to enjoy Decoration day. Andy is all dated up for a match at Columbia Saturday evening with Willie Keeler and after this match will meet Billy Shade at Omaha on Friday night, June 9th. Andy has just closed a contract with Jack Lewis, the Omaha fight promoter that will insure the Cass county boy being matched with some of the top notchers and his friends here are pleased that he is to have the chance to demonstrate his abil ity in the ring. Later in the season it is probable that some of the lead ers in the light-heavyweight class will have a chance to face the punch of the Cass county boy and Andy can be depended on to give them all that is coming. 6 h MEMORIAL TO LIN- j STRIKE 'VOTE IS mUl THE MARTYR!

The executive council of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Yv'ay employes and railway shop laborers, thia afternoon unanimously adopted a resolution in structing E. E. Grable, the president to send out strike ballots to all mem bers ci the organization and all non union workers in the crafts affected by the vae cut ordered by the United Str.'e.s raiiroad libor board Sunday. President Grable announced the ballots would be sent out immediate ly nrd that if the workers decided to strike in p-otest against the cut, iho walkout v.ouM be en'eciive about .luiy 5. He estimated 47S.0O0 mem bers of the union and about 72,000 nonunion workers would be asked to vote on the matter virtually every railroad in the country with the ex ception of short lines and electric rjadj. bc-ing affected. Saturn by July 1 The resolution adopted by the ex ecutive council, which is composed of the o.Ticers of the union, specified the ballots should ask whether or not ihD workers were willing to ac cept the! cut and declared if they were not "the union will use the full economic powers of the roganization to resist the r diution of wages or dered by the labor board." President Grable said afterwards he expected the returns would be in by July 1, explaining in case of a strike vote he was empowered to call the men out. He fixed July 5 as the tentative date by which arrange ments on Id be completed to put the strike in eilet. The wage cut is effective July 1 un!er the labor board order. Financially Strong The brotherhood's financial condi tion is the best it ever has been and sufficient funds are available to con duct a strike, the president said. A strike on the part of the broth erhood would, according to the pres ident, affect al mechanics, mainte nance of way men, including section he mis and foremen, track men, bridge builders, painters, coal chute men. cinder pit men and carpenters on all of the chief railroads of the country. HERE IS A NEW DEAL EFFECTED BY PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATE Big Power Companies to be Linked Together Denial Made That It Points to a Monopoly. Daily Journal. 15c a wee JUS. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Price Value! Price is what you pay today, it is soon forgotten. But value the actual worth of the article is expressed in service. Long service means real economy. KUPPENHEIMER GOOD CLOTHES were never sacrificed to price. Nor are prices "High." The proper relationship between price and value is carefully planned and rigidly maintained. Made to sell at $50, $30, $35 and $37.50 The fact that the Continental Gas & Electric company, which operates something like a hundred electric power and lighting plants in Ne braska and Iowa has started in to build a number of new lines in south ern Nebraska has also started a lot of gossip as to a possible monopoly by it of the business in the state. The company has its head offices in Omaha, and Rufus Lee of Clarinda Iowa, is its president. It is known as a Rockefeller company, as the prin cipal eastern officials are men for merly in close and confidential re lationship with John D., and his family. Representatives of the company say there is nothing to the notion that it is reaching out for a monop oly in the state, and thai, it is not true that it has purchased the Cen tral Power company of Boelus and the development by the Steinmeyer Dempster interests at Barneston. What is happening, however, is al most as interesting. All of the big electric companies of the state will, when present construction plans are complete, be linked up, and the pur pose of this is to eliminate one of the heavy costs of separate compan ies, that of investment in and main tenance of what is known as standby equipment. This means steam plants that produce current when the hydro-development plant Is temporarily out of commission usually in winter weather. If, in the future, one com pany has a breakdown, it can secure current from the others, pnd thua get rid of the standby equipment cost. Contracts have b-en let that con nect Norfolk. Grand Island, Aurora. York, Fairmont. Exeter, Geneva, Wil ber, DeWitt and Beatrice. In this way the Blue River power company which supplies a number of towns in that valley, will be linked up with the others named, comprising prac tically all of the worth while devel opments in the state. The Central Tower company's plant at. Boelus gives periodical trouble from sand, but with these connections its peo ple will need lose no mor sleep. As these companies spread over the country small municipally owned plants are being tied up to them. The small amount purchased in the small towns, combined with the overhead of a man to look after things, has run their production cost up to 20 and 25 ecnts a kilowatt hour or sev eral times that of the big companies. OPENS PLUMBING ESTAB LISHMENT IN THIS CITY lSXI A new plumbing and heating es tablishment has been started in this city by C. C. Burbridge, who will have his shop located in the corner room of the Modern Woodmen build ing. Mr. Burbridge will be able to look after all kinds of sheet metal work as well as the plumbing and heating, having a 14 years exper ience in this line and has for thir teen years been employed in the Bur lington shops in this city as a mem ber of the force in the tin shop. The long experience of Mr. Burbridge in this line will make hi ma valuable addition to the business interests of the city. SUCCESSOR TO REAVIS TO BE NAMED AT PRIMARY 616 FRUIT CROP EXPECTED IN NE BRASKA THIS YEAR Prospects Best in a Long Time No Damage from Frost and Crop is Virtually Assured. One of the largest and heaviest fruit crops in Nebraska for a number of years is in prospect this year, chiefly due tofavorable climatic con ditions, the high vitality of trees, the almost complete failure of last year's crop and the light crop of 1920. ac cording to information received by the federal bureau of markets and crop estimates at Lincoln. Together with the.ie conclusions, reached in reports from state and government agents, the prospect is more favorably enhanced by the fact that the crop is virtually assured, there being little possibility that a cold snap or a late frost will visit the state between now and harvest time, according to the bureau. "We are unable at this time to ap proximate the commercial or farm production, but the present condi tion of all fruits indicates that the production of 1919. the largest in re cent years, should be equaled and possibly excelled," says the chief of the bureau. The commercial apple crop is the largest fruit industry in Nebraska, although small fruits contribute a tidy sum to the state, while located chiefly in the eastern and southeast ern parts of the state, also extends to sections around North Platte, Me Cook and Kenesaw. Last year's farm and commercial apple crop totalled 125,000 bushels, compared with 797,000 bushels in 1920, and 1,125,000 bushels in 1919, according to the records of the bu reau. The commercial crop last year was placed at 17,000 barrels, com pared with 110,000 barrels in 1920 and 215.000 barrels in 1919. Should present indications support a greater yield this year, a crop of more than a million bushels is in prospect. Small fruits, which include .straw berries, blackberries, raspberries, currants and other berries, netted 647,321 quarts in 1920, produced from 1,147 acres, the records show. Cherries are second in importance in the Nebraska fruit industry, the bureau states, and this year show indication of setting a new record in production. Pears, plums, peaches, apricots and grapes are of minor im portance so far as the commercial crop is concerned. To illustrate the large decrease In the number of fruit bearing trees in Nebraska in the period between 1909 and 1920, the bureau quotes figures to show that compared with 2,937,000 trees bearing fruit in 1909, there were 961,000 in 1920, or a loss of more than half in number. "With the campaigns being waged by various agricultural societies and institutions, looking toward the bet ter care and development of fruit trees and vines, however, much of the loss sustained should be return ed within the next few years," the bureau declares. "Rank diseases and lack of proper cultivation were the prime causes in the great loss of Ne braska fruit trees, and there also was some indiscriminate destruction of bearing trees and plants." Of the various counties in the "apple section" of Nebraska, Cass county is probably the heaviest pro ducer of the lucious fruit and has felt the effects of the light crops of 1920 and 1921. Everyone will surely re joice with the large orchard owners of the county that we are assured of having a full crop this season. Wall AND The Background for a Happy Home! WE HAVE IT!

A heavy rain fell over this part of the state yesterday afternoon and eve ning. The moisture will benefit the wheat which is heading out, by in creasing its length and filling. Rain at Aurora Aurora, Neb., May 30. Heavy rains Sunday and Monday have caus ed farmers to hope for a halt in"pre cipitation.

ENTERTAINS FOR GUESTS "From Wednesday' Dally Last evening the St. Luke's rectory was the scene of a very pleasing din ner party. Father and Mrs. Leete and Madame Leete entertaining as their guests, Dr. and Mrs. S. Mills Hays of Lincoln and Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Livingston of this city. The dec orations were in keeping with the spirit of the day, the daisies, the of ficial Legion flower, being used in the table appointments. Your ad will carry punch if you write it as a plain "selling talk" in stead of trying to fuss it up with frill 3 and exaggerations. Lincoln, May 29. A special pri mary and a special election will be necessary to select a successor to C. Frank Reavis. First district congress man, who will resign June 4 to pros ecute war fraud cases. The special primary will be a part of the regular primary to be held July 18 and a special ballot will be handed to First district voters at the ! primary and election so they can de- j cide who will fill the unexpired term, which ends March 4. This is the procedure which those in close touch with Governor McKel vie declared today he would follow. It is pointed out that such a course will be lawful and would save much expense to the taxpayers. The governor, before making a definite decision, will consult with Attorney General Clarance A. Davis. If this course is definitely decided upon a special primary election proc lamation will be issued shortly.
