WEATHER FAVOBS LATE CROPS

Your Support Solicited
Washington, Sept. 27. Weather
conditions in most parts of the coun
try the past week were favorable to
the rapid maturing of late crops, ac
cording to the weekly review of crop
conditions by the weather bureau is
sued today. The bureau's study
showed, however, that insufficient
moisture in many parts of the coun
try had damaged pastures and mea
dow? and had affected fall seeded
grains.
Rain was needed, also, the review
reported, for the preparation of the
soil and the seeding of fall grains
over large areas. The minimum cf
moisture, however, permitted har
vesting to go forward rapidly.
Frost occurred in Colorado and in
the northern states from Minnesota
eastward during the week, the review-
said, but caused little damage.
The ,irost damage reported by the
bureau was confined largely to Mich
igan. . Western and southwestern
ranges were reported in good condi
tion with the livestock moving satis
factorily to winter ranges in the
central and upper Rocky mountains.

Blank Books at the Journal Office
The skill and celerity with which
new employes have fitted themselves
to their tasks since July 1 is amaz
ing, according to E. P. Bracken, vice
president in charge of operation of
the Burlington railroad, at Lincoln,
Thursday on an inspection trip, says
the State Journal.
Mr. Bracken began his railroad
career in Lincoln thirty-five years
ago as a section foreman near what
is now Havelock. His tour of in
spection in company with Superin
tendent Flynn yesterday morning
took him over the same places he
knew in those days.
Mr. Bracken has been making an
inspection trip to the larger shops
wet of the Mississippi. He ex
pressed surprise at the progress be
ing made in the Havelock shops.
None he had visited compared with
it, he said. The Burlington railroad
had 13,700 employes when the
strike was called July 1. It now has
12,850, according to Mr. Bracken
and is gaining at the rate of 100
men each day.
"There never will be any com
promire on our part with the old or
ganization under any circumstances
The demagogue who advise any man
to stick is simply advising that man
to lose his job forever," Mr. Bracken
stated.
"I can see just a little way ahead
a perfectly normal condition for the
Burlington railroad. I received a tel
egram yesterday stating that the
system handled 600 more loads than
ever before in its history. The total
number of loads handled was 18.700.
"We are loading 1,700 cars of coal
daily and are handling them fairly
promptly." Mr. Bracken said.
He said the number of guards have
been reduced from 6,000 to 650 and
that most of the boarding1 camps
have been abolished, the married
men renting homes and the single
men rooms in the towns where they
are located.
Mr. Bracken pointed out that the
Burlington had not closed its doors
to its old employes by withdrawing
the pension privileges but that un
less they came back within a short
time their jobs would be lost for
ever.
He also stated that the Burlington
had granted time and one-half for
overtime. Sundays and holidays.
"This is something the labor board
refused the men," Mr. Bracken said.
A differential has also been allowed
men working on the western divi
sions where living costs are higher

A Motor That Actually
Thrives on Carbon
Most people think of "carbon" in terms
of trouble.
It means lost power, reduced compres
sion and expensive repairs in most
motors. .
But here is a motor that actually thrives
on carbon. The Willys-Knight Motor
improves with use because accumulated
carbon helps to tighten compression.
Quiet powerful smooth-running
it is entirely free from the usual motor
repair costs. And the motor is' as
simple and understandable as it is
economical. The valve mechanism
for instance just two sleeves sliding
smoothly on a film of oil, instead of
noisy,' rapid -..'caring poppet valves and
springs.
The Wiilys-'Cnight is not only beau--tiful,
gracefi:!, easy-riding; it has been
built to La;: and match the quiet
motor.

Plattsmouth, Nebraska
The third annual fair was n de
cided success. Most of the depart
ments were crowded for room. All
showed better quality of exhibits
than former years with the excep
tion of the better babies and each
year they are equal.
Livestock
The livestock exhibit consisted of
250 hogs, 30 head of cattle. 20 horses
and mules .and 160 coops of chickens,
rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, etc.
Agricultural Products
There was a fine collection of
fruits, vegetables ami corn. Two very
fine displays of bees and honey were
exhibited.
Boys' Judging Teams
Four teams competed in judging.

Creek. The Cedar Creek team won
first. Avoca second and Xehawka
third. Verner Kaffenberger'of Cedar
Creek was high man in judging two
classes, a total score of two hundred
points.
Woman's Department
In the department of domestic pro
ducts and food there were about 200
entries. The cakes, cooks, etc., were
of a very good qualify, while the dis
play in canned vegetables, jams and
jellies, certainly wore pleasing, all
of which shows that the women of
Cass county understand the art of
baking and canning. The display of
butter was very pleasing and the
representation of the shocks of wheat
in the field of stubble certainly re
quired, skill and thought to put it
together. All the butter on display
was of a good quality.
Art and Needle Work
The needle work department was
a thing of beauty again this year.
Over 170 entries were made in this
department and any one who looked
at this display was certainly im
pressed by the beautiful pieces of
needle work. The art department
was well represented, about 135 en
tries being made. The china paint
ing was very attractive as was also
the paintings in water color, oil, etc.
This is certainly a splendid addi
tion to the county fair display and
we hope more ladies will be inter
ested next year. The wood work ex
hibits by Esa Taylor of Union was
another attractive' part of the ex
hibit. Better Babies
The better babies contest mas held
at the Congregational church. A
goodly number of babies were enter
ed again this year. Dr. Colburn of
Lincoln very ably assisted and he
reported that in general the scores
mere higher than last fear. Joan
Joyce Cook of Alvo scored highest
for the girls and Warren James Wol
cott of Weeping Water scored high
est for the boys.
Girls' Standard Clubs
The girls standard clubs were
hertainly one of the denters of at
trartion at the county fair this year.
The Jolly Farm Girls of Weeping
Water demonstrated Wedis'Jy af
ternoon, on "How to Make Attract
tive Kitchen Aprons." The girls on
the team were Helen Morse and Beu
lah Little and they certainly did
their part well and made us want to
go home and try out some of the at
tractire aprons which they showed.
Mrs. J. M. Ranney of Weeping Wa
ter is local leader. The jolly worker
team from Avoca, Xebraska state
champions in home economics divi
sion, demonstrated to a large and ap
preciative audience, "The Possibili
ties of the Bungalow Dress." This
was also well done and both team
n:d their leader deserve much credit
for the! splendid efforts. This team
consisted of Muller Schackley and
Dorothy Marquardt and the local
lender is Mrs. Taul Wolph. One
hundred and ten garments made by
the Cass county club girls were on
display. Many ribbons were to be
found on the garments and all the
club members went home feeling
well satisfied with the premiums
they had won.
MAKES LAND DEAL
Frank Vallery, the diminutive real
estate dealer, who is always on the
job when there is a prospect of bus
iness, has this week closed a very
profitable deal by selling the store
of Font Wilson and William R. Puis
at Murray to J. W. Chilton of Xorth
Platte, who is now taking possesr
sion and has his brother at Murray
assisting Mr. Wilson in conducting
the store. The former owners of the

states that her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
A. S. Will, have purchased a new
home in Long Beach and are now

ing the country and climate in great
shape.
Plenty of women who have in
some way been swindled in the

GASOLINE

S -TAR-TIN-G
PROMPT ignition even in cold
weather. The abundance of low
boiling-point fractions in Red Crown
Gasoline makes it quick-starting.
But a gasoline must have a lot more than
starting ability. You want power, clean com
bustion, maximum mileage, pick-up and purity.
Red Crown has them all because it is a bal
anced, straight-distilled gasoline uniform,
dependable. Wherever you buy it, you know
you've got the best.
The Red Crown Sign, whether on our own
service stations or displayed by an authorized
dealer, is the best assurance you can have of
getting the kind of gasoline you want the
best there is.
Let the Red Crown Sign be your protection

FUEL DISTRIBUTOR URGES
ROADS TO BREAK RECORDS
Washington, Sept. 29. Coal carry
ing railroads were urged by Federal
Fuel Distributor Spens to make
every effort to break all records for
coal shipments during the month of
Qnar The current output of coal
and its movements, Mr. Spens pointed
out in a letter to presidents of the
railroads, are adequate for current
needs, but do not permit laying up
of reserves against a possible cold
snap early in the winter.
To date the roads have made a
splendid showing in coal movement.
Mr. Spens conceded, but he urcwl
that this be better, even at the cot
of increasing normal railroad, ex
pense and without requiring use of
the Inle'Ytate Commerce commis
sion's power to lay down compulsory
systems of preference for coal movement.

Use the perfect

T!HE coal shortage is bound
to change some habits. It
will be poor policy to toast
one's shins before a red hot
coal stove this fall without a
full stock of coal in sight for
the zero weather that's not far
away. But that doesn't mean
going to bed at sundown or
shivering round the house in
fur coats.
There's plenty of kerosene
oil for all heating and cooking
purposes. An oil heater will
make any room comfortably
warm in a few minutes and
at less cost than for coal. For
cooking, no fuel excels Perfec
tion Kerosene Oil. It burns up
completely no smoke, soot
or ashes. You can regulate the
heat to a nicety.
Get better acquainted with
the perfect fuel for home use
Perfection Kerosene Oil,
and the coal situation will be
a lot less bothersome.
If you haven't an oil heater
or range, ask your stove dealer
to recommend the make of oil
heater or range that will give
the greatest heat efficiency and
satisfaction.
