Perhaps you have a mortgage against your place.
Maybe it is not due yet, but probably have an option
or right to pay the loan in full when you pay the
next interest.
If you arc paying more than 6ro nov, don't wait for
the loan to become due, but Fee rre about a new
loan before the next interest paying date.

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.

Federated Shop Crafts Demand Con
ference With. Eailroad La
bor Beard Thursday.
Detroit, May 30. 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.

were never sacrificed to price. Nor are prices "High."
The proper relationship between price and value is
carefully planned and rigidly maintained.

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.

tation Near 4 Inches.
Kearney, May 30. Kearney was
the center of a heavy downpour late
'yesterday, the precipitation reported
here ranging from one to four inches.
High winds, cyclonic storms and
hail were also recorded.
Two threatening tornadic clouds
hovered over the Prairie Center,
country, twelve miles northeast of
Kearney, but no great damage re
sulted. Hail swept that area on west,
to Riverdale, but the loss resulting
is believed to have been light.
Minden reports the heaviest fall,
four inches, while at Pleasanton and
along the Loup valley the average
fall was about three inches.
Oconto and Gibbon report two
inches, while Kearney recorded a
fraction over one inch. The total
rainfall here in the past thirty days
has exceeded four inches.
Downpour at Sidney
Sidney, Neb., May 30. A three
hour rain fell over Cheyenne county
last night, accompanied by an elec
trical display. This was the third
downpour within ten days and grow
ing crops show the benefit of suffi
cient moisture.
, Wheat Heading in Frontier
Moorefield, Neb., May 30. 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. Corn and weeds are grow
ing apace, and winter wheat the past
week has shot up several inches, and
is heading. Alfalfa is ready to harvest.
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.
If you have anything to seU, or
want to buy, don't overlook a want
