STATE CORN CROP
WILL BE BIGGEST
IN MANY YEARS
Only Sunshine Needed Now to Make
It Mature Ahead of Frost, bay
the State Experts.
Prom Monday Dally.
"If the weather man will shut off
the rain and give the state a lot of
warm weather in the next two weeks,
Nebraska's corn crop will be the
best in many years," A. E. Anderson
of the federal bureau of crop statis
tics. Lincoln, declared Sunday.
"The corn has all the moisture it
needs, but heat to mature It before
frost will be the most welcome," he
added.
The latest federal estimate of the
state's corn yield. 220,399,000 bush
els, which exceeds last year's crop
by 17,000,000 bushels, probably will
be further increased with a liberal
supply of sunshine, he stated. Heavy
winds have blown down some corn
in spots, but will not materially af
fect the yield.
No More Rain Needed for Corn
Professor Burr, of the state univer
sity department of agronomy, at Lin
coln, concurs In Anderson s optimism
'The corn from now to maturity will
use one-fourth of an inch of moisture
daily, but this is now in the soil. A
light shower now and then can do
no harm, but it is not especially
needed." he said. "A great deal of
fall plowing is now done, and this
will put the land in fine shape for
fall wheat."
jOther farm and garden crops in
the state are equally as good as corn,
both Anderson end Professor Burr
reported. Oats are very good thru-
out the state, running 50 per cent
higher yield than last year, and ap
proximately 10 per cent greater than
the ten-year average.
Big Potato Yield
Potatoes will produce a big yield.
the early varieties probably only
fair in quality, due to some second
sprouting and scab, but in the late
potatoes, both the quality and quan
tity will be good.
The state's yield of barley will be
double that of last year with an
acreage double that of 1922, both the
crop experts said.
Hay crops are immense, averaging
15 per cent more than 1922 for both
tame and wild varieties and pastures
are equally as good.
Stockmen are experiencing some
trouble with an unusually bad
scourge of flies and mosquitos. The
Insects are more numerous this year
than for fourteen or fifteen years.
Professor Burr declared.
WILL VISIT LAKE COUNTRY
From Monday's Dally.
Owing to the rains and the condi-
d if ions of the road, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry A. Schneider and son and
daughter, Carl and Catherine, have
been compelled to postpone their
auto trip to Minnesota and Wisconsin
and now expect to leave on Wednes
day if the weather conditions will
permit and will be accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Troop and child
ren who will enjoy the opportunity
of visiting in the lake country.

IN THE RUNNING
Ray Larson Loses in First Round of
State Tourney Alfred Calvert
Comer in Junior Meet.
All of the favorites stood the gaff
of first round play in the annual
state tennis tournament which got
under way Monday afternoon at the
University courts.' W. Hellwege;
Seward, defeated Ray Phelps, Omaha
in straight sets. This was the clos
est to a surprise match of the after
noon as Phelps, while playing this
spring as a candidate for the univer
sity team showed signs of being able
to weather several rounds in the
state meet. .
Probably the hardest battle of the
day developed between Lawrence Mc
Cague, formerly of Omaha but now
a Lincoln resident, and Charles Pat
terson, Arapahoef 'official referee of
fhe tournament. The first set went
11-9 for McCague, Patterson rally
ing In the second for a 6-2 victory
but falling in the deciding set 6-4.
Mr. Patterson has been suffering
from neuritis in his arms and it ham
pered his play noticeably.
It looked bod for a time for Fred
Archerd, Lincoln ' city champion,
when P. H. Bek, Seward, took the
first five games of the first set. Ar
cherd pulled it " out,' however, and
won the next set handily. His run
ning mtae, Clyde Seymour also had a
mighty difficult time disposing ot Al
bert Finkle, present-junior champion
of Omaha, and junior champion of
the state last year,
Ced Potter, runner-up in the Lin
coln- city meet, won from G. Wlnkin
son. Lincoln, in straight sets. Don
Elliott, former city champion of Lin
coln and present', holder with E. R.
McCormick of the state doubles title,
was forced into extra games to win
the first set from A. H. Staley, a
young player from York, but Elliott
won the second set handily.
George Stocking, Omaha, who has
been a dangerous contender in for
mer tournaments, appears to be right
on top of his game. He had no trou
ble surviving the first round.
The players repaired to the cham
ber of commerce where they were
guests at a banquet following the
play.
- Secretary Potter announced that
all first round play in singles must
be completed by 10 a. m. Tuesday
and those matches not finished by
that time will be defaulted.
Play in the doubles starts Tuesday
morning in both divisions
From the looks of things Monday
the junior singles title will probably
rest between Alfred Calvert, York,
son of Rev. John Calvert, president
of the state tennis association, and
Finkle, the youthful flash from Om
aha.
Finkle plays n, steady sams and
young Calvert has every move in
dicative of a comer,

URGE OBSERVANCE
OF CONSTITUTION
BY ALL CITIZENS
American Bar Association Starts a'
Movement to Bring About
Return of Respect..
Prom Monday's Daily.
The American Bar association, of;
which D. O. Dwyer of this city is a'
member, has started a movement that
is destined to bring to the minds of
the citizens over the nation the need
for a re-awakened respect for the
law of the land, particularly the
Constitution of the United States.
It is proposed to have a series of
meetings in every community over
the country, starting on Sunday,
September 16th, with a church serv
ice for a fitting opening of the law
respecting campaign and throughout
the week meetings are to be planned
in the schools, among the different
societies and patriotic organizations
to teach a greater respect for the
law of the land and especially the,
basic law found in the Constitution. '
The founders of tbe Constitution
set about to form a government that
would above all else give them and
their posterity the blessings of lib
erty through organized government
and for this purpose was enacted the
Constitution - of the United States.
This was the first document that gave
full measure of liberty to the peo
ple of the world and has served as
a model for the constitutional gov
ernment of the nations of the earth
since that time.
In late years it has grown to be
a habit of attempting to tack on
amendments to the constitution and
this has led to a growing disrespect
for the great fundamental law of the
land and the trend in that direction
is even greater at this time, when
many would encumber, the document
with unnecessary amendments that
tend to weaken it.
The laws that have been made a
part of the Constitution should have
the respect of the American people
as long as they remain a part of the
law of the land and the people should
be educated to realize just what the
Constitution means to them as the
guarantee of their right of liberty
of thought, speech and action.
Prepare to do your part in ?lls ob
servation of Constitutional week and
bring closer to the people an under
standing of the law of the land.
STANDARD OIL GO.
SLASHES GAS PRICE
Cut from 22i2 to 16 Per Gallon is
Announced in This City Is
Welcomed by Motorists.
Front Tuesday's OariT.
The effect of the gasoline cut price
war that is now sweeping tnrougn
the northwest, was reflected in this
city today when the Standard Oil
company cut the retail price of
gasoline from 22 cents to 16
cents per gallon, thereby making a
great saving to the gas consumers of
the community.
The cut is the result largely of
agitation of the past week that led
Governor Charles W. Bryan to an
nounce that the state would estab
lish filling stations if the price was
not cut to a reasonable figure and
in conformity with the price at which
it is being sold in other states ad
joining Nebraska.
The gasoline war waged between
the independents and the Standard
company in Kansas City was one of
the first indications of the enormous
profits derived in the handling of
gasoline and was followed by the '
slashing of the price there by the J
Standard : company. Since then, all
over the northern and central states
there has been a movement to force
down the retail price of gasoline.
The telegram from the Standard
Oil company to their representatives
authorizing the' cut in the price Is
the first indication of the war reach
ing this city as the auto owners have
been paying the higher price here
all of the time.
The result will be a marked rush
for the filling stations and many
tanks that are infrequently filled to
their capacity, will be 'loaded up by
their owners, for fear that the cut
will not be lasting.

From Tuesday's Dally.
Chief Game Warden Koster has re
turned from Denver where he ob
tained 200 rainbow trout to restock
the state fisheries at Gretna. Many
trout died at that fishery thi3 spring
and the stock must be replenished.
A fungus disease which is not un
common among fish was the cause of
the fatality. - Mrr Koster obtained
large fish at a private hatchery near
Denver, where there is a stock of
33,000 rainbow trout. He brought
back one female ; fish that weighs
eight pounds. This fish and others
will be shown at the state's display
