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. Nemaha County Herald.
TREASURE TAKEN
FROM VATICAN
ISJREGOVERED
Former Shoemaker and Conferedate
With Gems Surrounded
in Trap.
Rome. July 7. 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

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

MRS. C. L. 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-

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

ami others severely complicated,
have been completely restored to
health by Karnak.

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.

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

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.
