"EVERYBODY'S STORE WEEVIL IN GRAIN AT EAGLE CAUSES MUCH CONCERN Some Alarm Expressed Over Extent of Ravages of Pest in South ern Half of Nebraska. A somewhat alarming story of wee vil in wheat was told to Chairman Taylor of the railway commission Friday afternoon by Representative II. K. Frantz who is a banker at Eagle. He was accompanied by Sec retary H. E. Hart of the department of trade and commerce to the rail way commission office where he ex hibited a glass jar of wheat screen ings from an elevator owned by Geb. Trunkenbolz of Eagle. ' Twenty thousand bushels of wheat in this elevator is said to be more or less infected with the grain weevil pest. A farmers' organization has an Lunch Served at SgIos! I am prepared to serve lunch at all sales, any place in Cass county. Please advise me date of your sale and I will be there. S. J. REAMES CEDAR CHEEK :- NEBRASKA elevator in the same town with 10, 000 bushels of wheat similarly af fected. Mr. Frantz exhibited the sample in a glass jar on behalf of both eleva tors, asked the railway commission to try to get a supply of freight cars for the moving of grain. He said the ele vators are full of grain, the grain full of weevil and thirty cars are needed. Ten cars immediately would do some good. Chairman Taylor of the commis sion called officials at Missouri Pa cific railroad offices and was assur ed an effort would be made to fur nish cars, altho the outlook for grain cars is exceedingly dark. Mr, Frantz said only six cars had been furnished in seven weeks at Eagle. The Trunkenbolz elevator is being run day and night for the pur pose of moving wheat and running it over screens and thru blowers In the hope that some of the damage being done by the pest may be reduced. If cars can be had so that some grain can be shipped the balance of the grain can be manipulated in the ele vator and probably the pest destroy ed or its ravages stopped. Causes Much Uneasiness The grain weevil is causing much uneasiness. Whether it exists in a large portion of the state or is spreading is a matter for concern to all who store grain. The university experiment station of Nebraska is sued a bulletin which says: "In the fall and early winter of 1921, from the middle of September to the middle of December it was un usually injurious . to stored wheat, both in farm granaries and in the country elevators, especially over southeast Nebraska west to Tied Wil low, eastern Frontier, western Daw son and southeastern Custer coun ties and north to Sarpy, Saunders and other counties. In northeastern) Nebraska it did considerable injury to stored oats at the same time." The sample of wheat from Eagle contained a tiny beetle probably the sawtoothed grain beetle, which is de scribed by the university bulletin as a small reddish brown beetle about one-tenth of an inch long. The ca delle beetle is similar but is about one third of an inch long. Both eat the embryo of 'grain, lay their eggs therein and the egg produces a small worm which lives until the following spring so there is only one crop a year. T. M.

Prom Saturdays Dally. Yesterday the Cass county com missioners. Fred H. Gorder of Weep ing Water, C. ""P. Harris of Union, and George L. Farley of this city, were in Lincoln where they spent some time with State Engineer Geo. F. Johnson and the department of public works, discussing the work on the "O" street road near Eagle which is a part of the new federal highway running through Lancas ter, Cass and Otoe counties. The good roads movement in this county which was started a few years ago when C. F. Vallery was named as highway commissioner, is result ing in the formation of a line of in tersecting highways that will afford all parts of the county a fine means of travel and with the increasing number of autos and trucks the roads are being very much in demand. Those who have traveled extens ively over different parts of the country are loud in their praise of the federal road through the eastern portion of this state and which trav els through Cass, Otoe, Nemaha and Richardson Counties, and which, it is claimed, is one of the best dirt roads in the west. From this first road there are constantly other lines be ing added, that puts all sections of the county in close touch. The state highway from Murray west to -the Lancaster county line is also kept up in fine shape and the road gives the residents of the central portion of the county a fine way of traveling and with the completion of the im provements on the O street road the residents of the extreme southern portion of the county will have an equally fine" road. The road from this city to Louisville is also reeciving a part of the attention of the good roads boosters and this makes all parts of the county supplied with the best kind of roads. The cost of the roads has been much more than used to be required to keep up the- roads , but there few people in the county that would be content any more to put up with the narrow roads that were generally without the use of a drag and rough and hard to travel on. It is a part of modern life that' certainly should be appreciated by the residents of the country districts as adding to their convenience asd comfort.

EXTEND CONGRATULATIONS DEMO NOMINEES FOR CODE REPEAL Seventy Legislative Candidates Sigri Pledge to Help Knock Out Measure Next Winter. The many Louisville friends of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Steinkamp will be interested to learn of the birth of a little daughter on Thursday, September 6. 1922, at the home of Mrs. Steinkamp's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Hopkins, in Mount Hope district, near Weeping Water, and will join the Courier in extending congratulations. The little newcomer has been named Shirley-' Eileen. This makes a little family of two daughters, the first one being named Ruth Anne. Mr. Steinkamp had charge of the grocery department in the W. F. Diers general store several years ago of the car when seen. The occasion caused some stir and the child was badly frightened when it realized the danger that it had been through, but suffered no injur ies, aside from 9 skinned slloulder where it had fallen on the pavement. Miss Nolting was shocked by the narrow escape of the boy and re quired some time to calm herself, although she was entirely blameless in the matter and her coolness at the time was what saved the child.

Louisville Courier. Upwards of seventy-five democrat ic nominees for the Nebraska legis lature have now signed the pledge to vote for repeal of the code law and the 1921 revenue law, if, they are elected. Pledges are still being gathered from the candidates by mail, by the democratic state com mittee. They are intended as con vincing proof to the people of the state that the democratic party and its candidates mean business in their promise to reduce state expenditures and taxes. Before the present law was enact ed, the general fund tax for state purposes was limited to 1 mill on the dollar of actual valuation. There is no limit at the present time, and this year's general fund levy is 2 mills, to which is added a special levy of .3 mill for the capitol fund. Total state taxes for the current biennium aggregate more than twice as much as in 1917-18, during the Neville ad ministration. The pledge signed by democratic candidates for the legislature com mits them to support the repeal of the two laws mentioned, to a pro gram of rigid economy and retrench ment in state administration, to eliminate duplication, and to enact more equitable tax legislation. Judge Robert R. Reid and wife of Lincoln were here yesterday to en joy a few hours visit with the Wes cott family. Judge and Mrs. Reid and C. C. Wescott and Miss Helen Wes- cott were fellow travelers to Cali- for a number of years and had been in poor health for some time. He is survived by his wife, seven sisters and one brother.
