Sure Had a Good Time The fishing party of which men tion was made last week in" this de partment, enroute to Cedar Creek, did not arrive there at as early an hour as they had expected, due to k)sing their bearings and failing to turn off at the proper crossroad that would have taken them directly to the lakes, and away along near the hour of daybreak found themselves almost to Plattsmouth and had to turn around and go back a consid erable distance. However, they ar rived there in fine shape a little later ana nau a most excellent time in fishing and enjoying the cooling at mosphere of the sand pits. wm. Coleman Some Better Wm.

MISSING MAN IS LOCATED London, July 23. The police at 1 o'clock this morning informed Miss Collins, daughter of Frof. Joseph Victor Collins of Stevens Roiut, Wis., that her father, who had been miss ing: for several days, is in Edinburgh, Scotland. A dispatch to the Daily Express from Edinburgh announcing that Professor Collins had been found, says he traveled to Edinburgh on Monday night from London and at tended the education conf.erer.ee Tuesday and Wednesday. The dis patch aelds that what apparently happened was that Professor Col lins found the train for Edinburgh left the King's Cross station in Lon don at 9:15 p. m. instead of after 10 p. m., as he believed the schedule was; that he had not time to re turn to his hotel and tell his wife, and assumed she would understand he had gone on to Edinburgh. For what he said about airplanes and battleships, the president had either to fire General Mitchell or ac cept the resignation of two cabftiet officers. But many persons would have taken the retirement cf Weeks and Wilbur cheerfully. Worse things have happened.

MOLISH OUT ORDER GOMES FROM COURT Povrers cf State Fire Marshal Jlay te Tested in Zlatter of Proposed Condemnations in Omaha. The right of State Fire Marshal John Trouton to summon John B. Webster of Omaha to appear before him in Lincoln to give testimony rel ative to a contemplated order con demning three of Mr. Webster's buildings in Omaha is questioned by Attorney James H. Hanley. Assist ant Attorney General Tasve has giv en an opinion holding that such a hearing is legal and that the fire marshall is not exceeding his juris diction in holding it at Lincoln Au gust 3 instead of in the judicial dis trict in which the property in ques tion is situated. It is explained by the attorney general's office that the legislative act of 1925 materially changes the powers of the state fire marshal. Under the old law his right to con demn a building as a fire hazard or to repairs made was much in ques tion. The new law authorizes the fire marshal to hold a hearing on any subject mentioned in the legislative act, and to compel the attendance of witnesses. He is given power to pun ish for disobedience of any subpoena. When the fire marshal finds that a building should be repaired or torn down because it is dangerous to life nf is especially liable to fire, he shall file his order with the clerk of the district court of the county where the property is situated. All further proceedings for enforcement of such an order shall be had in the district court. The owner is given twenty days In which to file objection to the order. If no answer is filed the court is required to affirm the order for condemnation and direct the state fire marshal to enforce it. If an- j swer is nieu tne court eaes icsci niony and renders judgment. If the salvage does not pay the ex pense of demolishing the building the additional amount is charged up as taxes against the real estate anel collected as real estate taxes. If the salvasre exceeds the expense the sur plus is turned over by order of the court to the owner. SAYS ISLANDS TO EXPAND Washington, July 22. A predic tion that Uncle Sam soon will be presented by mother nature with a fair-sized continent in the mid Pacific was added today to the pro fusion of discussion and conjecture that has followed recent seismic dis turbances. Edwin Fairfax Xaulty of Xew York, who has studies earth movements for many years, said he was convinced that the Hawaiian is lands gradually and quietly were be ing pushed upward and within a gen eration would comprise a high and dry territory as large as Japan. Only the peaks of a great range now rise above the surface of the sea at Hawaii, he said, but a con stant "squeezing process at work in the bed of the Pacific may be expected to push these peaks constantly up ward. He added that all the signs pointed to a gradual rise over a per iod cf years, entirely unaccompanied by, serious earth shocks. . ldvertise your wants in the Jour nal for results. BROKEN HOMES LEAD TO DELIN QUENCY !f! GIRLS Report Of State Training School for Girls Shows that Home Influ ence Largely Lacking. From Thursday's Daily "Eighty-five per cent of our girls come from broken homes, or no homes, and ethers from homes that never should have existed, so that few of them have any idea cf home life," says Miss Lena Ward, super intendent of the state training school for girls at Geneva, in a report filed with the board of control. "Not long ago one of our girls who was employed in n well regulated home came back to the school on a visit after having been in this home two weeks and the thing that im- pressed her most and which almost seemed impossible to her was the fact that there had been no family quarrels. This to her was most won derful, as she had come from a homo where quarreling seemed to be the main object of the father and mother and she could not believe that a home could exist without it." The parental condition of those admitted to the state school is set forth in Miss Ward's report: parents dead, 7; father dead Both mother dead, 26; parents living to gether, 4S; parents living apart, 2S; unknown, 5. Parents of 110 girls! admitted were born in the United States, thirteen were foreign born and seventeen of unknown nativity. There were laS girls present at he close of the biennium July 1. Tiiirty-tvo counties of the ninety- three in the state were represented by girls committed to the school. In the two years fifty were committed ! from Dougies county, forty-five; f rom Lancaster, seven from Box Butte, five from Hall. Other counties i:i the list or thirty-two contributed one and two each. I In the past two years garden pro - .-luce valued at 3.5S3 was produced on the institution land. The crops The crops sweet corn, s. The girls included 500 bushels cf sweet corn. 1,200 bushels of potatoes. The girls n e taught to can vegetables and fruit. In the two vears 9.7,15 quarts of corn was canned and .r, 434 pounds was dried. Among other products canned was 969 cans of dairy butter. 1.4C2 quarts of fruit butter, 1,0! f" nrnrt) nf friiir hnttf r 1 ft 1 cans of beets and 5,53 1 quarts of brans. The prospect for a canning crop this ycir is not good, but the sc hool has enough canned goods left ! over to go through the winter. Cash fund receipts for the two) year period total ?a,lal. This in cludes $2,Sl5 for art material sold, ? 1.145 for hogs sold and $4 64 for cuttle sold. Poultry and live stock industries are conducted by the girls on rather a large scale. The music department of the school is highly praised bv Suner- intendent gle e club take part given by Ward. An orchestra and are maintained and tne?e in many different entertainments churches an 1 clubs. In religious instruction there are eight classes which meet every Sun day morning to study the interna tional Sunday school lesson, and at 3 o'clock ministers of different churches conduct chapel exercises, in open court. Further, if he is falsely tried, there might be no re dress against the accuser if he was operating under an assumed name. It is the opinion of Mr. Rritt that the subject is one calling for legis lation to insure uniform practice in the various districts and to clarify the legal issues involved. At headquarters of the Anti-Saloon League the opinion w-as given that the decision is not, as reported in some dispatches, of "far-reaching consequence." but is merely a local issue.
