CROP DAMAGE IN NEMAHA COUNTY Auburn Paper Tells of Ruin Left in Wake of Becent Hailstorms Similar to Near Hanley. The farmers in the vicinity of Brock, or at least some of them, cer tainly have been hard hit by the ele ments thU3 far the present season. First came the three destructive wind storms that wrecked farm wrecked farm buildings and killed and maimed stock, chickens, etc. This time it is hail. Saturday a terrific hail storm began west of the Charter Oak schoolhouse, and great damage was wrought to all farms in a path reaching to within a half mile west of Brock, passing thence on south and east to the Isaac Smith farm and beyond. The farms suffer ing the greatest damage in thrf Brock vicinity were Dr. A. L. Asa, Everett Rutledge on the Miller farm, Smed leys, Adams, Beason, John Miner, Chards, Will Hawley, John Branstet ter, George Rutledge, Lozorn, George Knox, Richard Hawley, Potards on the Yenier farm, the Peter Berlet farm, Emil Berlet's farm, Nedden reip and Ora Smedley farms; and many others north, south and west of these mentioned. Along the John Miller farm hail could be scooped up iu large quantities the next day. The wheat fields had been ready to cut and some of the corn laid by. Por tions of the wheat were left stand ing, but by far the largest part is a tangled mass that it will be hard to retrieve. Many corn fields were wiped out with nothing left but the stalks, standing bereft of leaves. Alfalfa fields, ready to cut were literally beaten into the ground and fruit trees were stripped of leaves and fruit. The Talmadge Tribune tells of a hail storm that visited that region last Sunday morning. It beat down the small grain in every direction from Talmage, many farmers losing their entire crops. Farmers are cul tivating their corn with the hope that they will have something of . a crop. In some places it was hard to drive an auto through the drifts In certain low places early Sunday morning.

The police today returned to the Vatican the precious objects stolen FriVJay night when thieves entered the treasury of St. Peter's. The stolen articles were re covered after the arrest of Mariano Stella, former shoemaker and said to be responsible for the formation of the plot. The actual robbery was committed, the police said, by two painters who had worked in St. Peter's. The two painters are Emerigo Lerdi and Rubicondo Primavera. These men had been working in St. Peter's and are under arrest. Stella is supposed to have had other accom plices among the workmen in the church. It is said that Stella was seen about three woeks ago prowling around St. Peter's before the robuery Fri day night he had been shadowed by detectives. After the robbery Police Commissioner Marotta, posing as a jeweler, opened negotiations with Stella for the purchase of gems. Stel la, according to the police, carried Marotta to a shop where he exhibited all of the treasurers taken from St. Peter's. By previous arrangement the shop had been surrounded by police and at a signal from Marotta they entered and arrested Stella and a peweler, Luigi Graziani, Stella's conferedate. The Vatican, when informed of the recovery of the precious pieces, sent Monsignor Becehini, treasurer of St. Peter's, to police headquarters to convey the personal thanks of the pope to the police. JAPAN WILL BE STARVING WITHIN 30 YEAES Chicago, July. 7. Starvation for Japan within the next 30 years "un less, in accordance with the Christian principle of human equality, the open door is declared throughout the world." was predicted today by Count Michlmasa Soyethima. member of the Japanese house of peers, at the Uni versity of Chicago. HURLS A DEFI IN THE WATER FIGHT DISPUTE Smith's Eskimos Come Out of Igloo To Accept Challenge of the Snoose Chewers. From Wednesday's Daily The question once hurled the length and breadth of the A. E. F. as to "who won the war," has noth ing on the Plattsmouth question of "Who won the water fight- Fourth of July." Yesterday, Fire Chief Oscar San din, who captained the Snoose Chew ers in their battle of water on the Fourth of July, hurled defiance and a challenge at Claude Smith and his Eskimos, which has provoked a hot reply. Captain Smith has authorized the Journal to state that his team la ready to wade up to their necks in water if necessary to defeat their foes at some future time and was confident of the outcome of the bat tle. He also stated "the next time we battle the Snoose Chewers we are going to wash them into the river, in fact we thought the floater that was picked up Monday was one of Sandin's force who had been washed away until it was found out it was a woman." With the confidence displayed by Chief Sandin and his team over the result of the next meeting and also Claude Smith's assurance, there is prospect of a real battle the next time and copious amounts of Lynn Minor's 99 per cent pure water will flow freely over the streets if the firemen have their way. No such exctiement has been cre ated in the city for many years as has the water fight and the firemen will be in to assist their friends on the various teams when the final con test is pulled off. As both sides claim the award for the Fourth of July fight, Frank Bes tor, committee treasurer, is holding the prize money, which, with the purse that is going to be raised, will go to the final winner. GOQLIDGE DEAF TO KLAN INVITATION Effort to Involve President in Con troversy Will Be Entire ly Ignored. Swampecott, Mass., July 7. All efforts to Involve President Coolidge in a controversy over the Ku Klux Klan will be ignored entirely. The hundreds of letters recently sent him following the announcement he was to be invited to address and review an assembly of that secret or der in Washington next month In cluding the invitation itself will go unanswered. These letters will never be "offi cially received." Definite announcement to this ef fect was forthcoming from an author itative source at the summer White House here today. Mr. Coolidge, it is stated in his be half, will follow the same course he pursued in the 1920 campaign, when similar unsuccessful effort were made to obtain from him a definite pro nouncement of his view on the klan. A revival of the klan controversy threatened over the week-end. follow ing announcement in Washington that Col. C. O. Sherrill, in charge of public building and grounds, had written the president for Instructions following a request from the order for permission to use Sylvan theatre, great natural amphitheatre of the Washington park system, for its as sembly. Those close to President Coolidge admitted the executive was somewhat put out by the reported action of Sherrill, who until a few months ago was his military aid. The president feels It was tactless move and has no intention of reply ing should the letter be "received." Communications on the subject continue to pour in at the temporary executive offices in Lynn, however. Among the latest organizations to write to the president Is the Holy Name Society, a Catholic order, which he addressed last fall. The Klan has cited this address as a rea son the executive "should he willing to greet an organization of Protest ants." MORTAR HANDLERS REJECT PROPOSAL OF CONTRACTORS Washington, D. C. July 7. The board of officers of the bricklayers, masons and plasterers international union of America tonight rejected a proposal advanced by representa tives of building contractors looking to arbitration of the jurisdictional dispute between it and the operative plasterers international union, which is threatening to tie up $500,000,000 of construction in various parts of the country.

Chencellor of the Exchequer Churchill announced In the house of commons today.

WILES WINS RECOGNITION FOR HER CHICKENS Cass County Lady Has Achieved Great Success in Her Work in Producing Flock. One of the most enjoyable experi ences that fall to the lot of a news paper writer Is to have tho opportun ity of meeting folks who have accom plished something of real work along agricultural lines, whether that line be the breeding of corn, the growing ot legumes, the raising of poultry or some other project. The other day in company with L. R. Snipes, coun ty extension agent in Cass county. Nebraska, we had the privilege of visiting Mrs. C. L. Wiles, near Platts mouth, whose flock of barred Plym outh Rocks last year averaged 14S.C eggs per hen, who during the month of March had an average rgg pro duction of 21. C eggs and In April. 22.4 egs per bird. On most poultry farms Inquiry will develop the, fact that several br-edn have been tried out In tho rmirru- .f the poultry raising experbfiro. Not so at the Wiles farm. It. U fntirnt ing to note that Mr. and Mr. Vlln inherited a flock of Harrd Hnckn about 19 year ago from Mr. WH'V mother. Previous to that the flock had been in tho fnmlly for at l-ut 11 years and perhaps longer. Tlilu shows a high regard for tho lred and faith in their performance . W asked Mrs. Wiles art wo wandered about the poultry yards why nho liked the Barred Rocks. Sho nald. "The Barred Rocks, In my opinion, have about the finest meat of any breed. This is especially true as re gards broilers. Besides, my egg rec ord shows that they arc good .pro ducers of eggs." In the columns before we have spoken of the Nebraska accredited farm flock work and of the fact that it is a five-year program. The goal set for the average egg production per hen for the first year of this work is 85 eggs. In Mrs. Wiles' first year's work her average was 11S eggs per hen, or 23 more than the average. The goal for the second year was 100 eggs and Mrs. Wiles made a record of 123 eggs. The third year her average record was 132.6 eggs and the fourth year 14S.G eggs per hen. Tim shows a consistent increase in produci.on which reflects the use of gocAl poultry methods. In speaking of the accredited flock work, Mrs. Wiles voiced her appreciation of its various benefits, such as the chance to get the very best kind of Informa tion from the college of agriculture, the opportunity to keep records and know whether yoor business is a losing or a paying proposition. The chance also is offered to become ac quainted with the work of hundreds of other poultry men and women who are engaged in the accredited work and whose records are published monthly and distributed to all co operators. She appreciates the fact that Mr. Snipes got her interested in the accredited flock work and has been of real assistance since that time. Warm sweet milk is one of the fine feeds which the Wiles poultry flock gets during the winter months. Sweet milk is available the year around on this farm. Mrs. Wiles has never tried out sour milk, but she has been well satisfied with the re sults from feeding the sweet. Corn and wheat are also important feeds in the poultry ration, a heavy feed of corn being usually given at night In the morning, soaked oats are used as one of the feeds. These oats are soaked all night and in the morning are heated and served hot to the poultry flock about 10 o'clock. Alfalfa is a feed whose virtues are appreciated by Mrs. Wiles. A load of alfalfa hay was stacked near the poultry house last fall and covered to keep out rains and snows. This al falfa afforded a source of feed for the flock all winter. Mrs. Wiles likes to put shelled corn in the litter the night before, so that the fowls have a chance to get busy early In the morning at the scratching game. Incubators are used for hatching. except sometimes for the later hatches. Mrs. Wiles has one 250-egg machine and another 150-egg ma chine. Although she makes use of hens to some extent in hatching she declares that hens are too valuable to be used for this purpose. It is the better plan to have modern incu bators carrying on this work and keep the hens busy producing eggs. A coal oil brooder and a coal brooder have both been used, Mrs. Wiles pre ferring the coal burning brooder. Each year she practices the Hogan system of culling with the idea of getting rid of all birds wnlch loaf on the job. The usual hatch of chickens each spring is about 600, but this year the hatch has been cut clown to about 300. Mrs. Wiles, through Her par ticapation in the accredited flock work, has had many opportunities to sell eggs and breeding stock. Most of the sales have been made in Ne braska but sales have been made to the states of South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado. The question of selling broilers came up. She stated in that connection that she was not as enthusiastic as some in selling many of her fowls as broilers. Keep ing them a little longer enables one to sell the hens and roosters as breed ing stock. She brought out the fact that after a fowl is past the broiler stage the cost of keeping it is rela tively small and one is enabled to get much higher prices than broilers bring. - The laying mash used by Mrs. Wiles is a standard mash containing ground corn. oats, bran, salt, etc. Mrs. Wiles does not use bone meal in her laying mash on account of having the sweet milk. Wood charcoal is used and also oyster shell. From the lawn on the Wiles farm we looked across to an orchard of about 15 acres. Mrs. Wiles referred to it as an old orchard, the varieties being Willow Twig, Delicious, Jona- BIGGEST Til i EVER Everybody Seems to Be Taking: The Remark able New Medicine, Karnak, and Receiving: Wonderful Benefits All Records Broken. After the most severe tests, by the people themselves, Karnak is producing such remarkable results in the way of restoring health, strength and energy, that the record break ing demand is growing daily. MEN AND WOMEN OF ALL AGES BENEFITED. Men and women of all age3 and in all walks of life, afflicted with Etomach, liver and kidney troubles of every form, some of them of lonf? standing and chronic nature, ami others severely complicated, have been completely restored to health by Karnak. Some of these people were weak, thin and nervous, appar ently on the verge of collapse. Other Ncemcd fairly well, yet complained of severe pains in the Htomach or in the back and nidcM, headache, shortness of Lreath and dizzy epells. Many told of nour, gassy stomachs, coated tongues, foulness of breath, Hevere constipation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness at nltht and terribly dejected, de tliariH, Canon, and Roman Stem. The Willow Twig Is found to be a very excellent keeper and one can have apples of this variety to eat as late as June. The Delicious has not prov ed very hardy, many of the trees dying. Most of the apples are sold right at home. Some apple trees are set out every year. The varieties set out in recent years are Delicious, Ben Davis, Jonathan and Black Astra kahn. There are also a number of small fruits grown on the Wiles Tarm, in cluding blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, strawberries. There is a plum orchard., peach orchard and cherries. One of the best liked plum varieties is the Omaha. The main strawberry varieties used is the Sena tor Dunlap and there are also some of the Everbearing variety. Red Pells are the cattle. used in the dairy herd on this farm. As to their milking ability Mrs. Wiles states that it all depends upon the individuals. One finds that there is a great deal of difference In this re spect. The Wiles farm home Is set among lofty trees and a great many evergreens are noted, including red cedars and spruce. It illustrates very well the fact that trees can make a place homelike to a marked degree. Omaha Stockman-Journal. BODY FOUND NEAR FERRY LANDING IS THAT OF A WOMAN Floater Found in the Missouri River Yesterday Afternoon Found to Be Body of Small Woman. From Tuesday's Dally The mute story of some tragedy gathered from the swift flowing wa ters of the Missouri river yesterday by Floyd Richardson, proved to be the body of a small sized woman, as examination proved when the body was arranged for burial last night. The body had evidently been in the water for many weeks or months as it was past the bloating stage and the flesh on the face and hands had dropped away, making it impossible to discover the form of the features. Where the heavier clothing had been there was still flesh and the heavy overalls and jumper worn by the woman had protected this some from the effects of the water. There were no papers or anything in the pockets of the clothing that would indicate the name or place of resi dence of the unfortunate woman. Prnm flip faet that, the bodv was attired with underwear and slippers it would seem that the care had been one of suicide rather than an acci dental drowning while swimming. The finding ofv the body will be broadcast from the Henry Field sta tion at Shenandoah, Iowa, in hopes of getting some trace of whom the woman might have been.

CITY HAS REAL PROBLEM ON CHICAGO AVE. Replacement of Retaining Wall at End of Pavement and Control Of Creek a Problem. From Wnlrx sday's Daily The city government lias a real problem on their hands at the pres ent time in handling the rituation that exists along the south' rn por tion of Chicago avenue v. here the floods and heavy rains have played havoc with the large retaining wall at Patterson avenue and Chicago avenue, as well as washing danger ously near the paving at several points along the avenue. The retaining wall was built a few years ago at the north end of the cul vert that runs under the intersection cf Chi capo and Patterson avenue as well as the Louisville road, carrying a large amount of water. The re taining wall was extended on the wings of the culvert and had stood in good shape until the very heavy rains of several weeks ago when it was swept away and also a large part of the roadway on Patterson avenue. The replacement of the re taining wall will cost from $1,200 to $1,G00, it is thought, and will make a very lare expense for the city. It has been proposed that instead of the retaining wall that the cul vert be extended for a considerable distance, as it is figured that this will not only be better for handling the water but also cheaper for the city. In handling the matter of the pro tection of the paving along the ave nue from the inroads of the creek caving in the bank along the paving, the city is also up against a prob lem that will cause the expenditure of a great deal of money. Not alone will the cost be quite heavy in the extension of the sewer system but al so the matter of construction and the adequate handling of the water is the matter that has given the streets, alleys and bridges committee some grave thought. On Chicago avenue the sewer starts at the opening of the large sewer near Pearl street with a five- foot sewer, but for some reason when the extensions were made they were gradually cut down until at the present time the opening of the sew er at Tenth street and Chicago ave nue is only three feet which is in adequate to carry the volume of wa- J ter that comes down this natural waterway. If thq sewer is to be kept up at this rate by the time it reaches the culvert at the end of the avenue the opening will be hardly large enough to see. It is hard to understand why the sewers when they were put in were not made large enough to carry the greater part of the surface water, the larger part of which comes from points to the south of the sewer opening and which it is beyond the wildest imagination to figure could be forced in a small three-foot open ing. The five-foot culvert at the end of the avenue is generally filled to overflowing from the water that comes from the points several miles SOUth Of the Fewer nn Vi i. V ' iiyjvy nno i;uu be condensed into the hrfD.fnn er is one of the things that the coun cil committee ha3 on their hands to iiyure out. NEGROES REPORTED HERE From Tuesday's Daily The report has reached the main section that several negroes have been located for the past few days just south of this city, where the colored folks have been camping for several days. The residents of that section who share share the general prejudice against the colored broth er that has been felt here for years have been much agitated with the advent of the negroes and their ner manent residence here.
