Mr. Ernest Schleuter, who has been
quite sick the past few weeks, but
who had been recovering nicely has
been reported as not feeling so well
again the last few days. Hopes are for
a speedy recovery.
J. H. Donahue of Lincoln, reprsent
ing an insurance company of Lincoln,
was in Murdock last Thursday and
secured Mr. O. J. Pothast as their
i cal representative for Murdock and
the surrounding territory.
Henry Oehlerking was a visitor in
Omaha last week where he went with
J. Johnson, who was hauling hogs to
the SoLith Cmuha market for him and
was wel pleased with the service and
the prices which he received.

Harry Gillespie was a visitor in Ne
braska City and other towns east and
in the eastern portion of Cass county.
He arrived home last Thursday eve
ning bringirg with him good rains,
which the people were glad to wel
come as well as Harry".
Kay Bold in, who, with the family,
moved to Weeping Water some time
tincc. wlie-iv he vas assured he would
find more work in his line of carpen

the present crop could mature.
Martin Bornemcier, who has been
in the west looking after his crops
there returned home a short time
since and reports that the crops on
his lands in the west were some bet
ter than he had expected to find them,
and which by the way is a good way
to be disapointed.
A. J. Tool departed this time for
Gordon, with the family, where they
will visit for two months at the home
cf relatives and enjoy the fishing and
hunting. The folks will also be along
and enjoy the visit. They have ex
pected to have gone sooner but busi
ness kept them so they could not get
away.
A .11 .Ward reports that word from
his sister. Miss Verna Ward, and Mr.

Word from the west where Emil
Kikli moved some time since and
where he purchase a half section of
land when he went west, is to the
fi'eet that the are liking the country

drove over in the 'car of Mr. John
son and enjoyed the time very nicely.
They were accompanied by Harry
Johnson of faurafct, Iowa, who is a
nephew of Mr. Johnson and who has
been visiting here for some days
past.
Henry Oehlerking and the folks
were visiting for the past week at
the home of friends at Sunday, where
they found the crops excellent. Mr.
Oehlerking was accompanied by
Charles Marshall, they also going
to Grant, in Perkins county, Mr.
Marshall succeeded In renting a farm.
320 acres, and returned to Cass coun
ty, loaded two tractors and shipped
them immediately from Ashland to
the west following himself and will
do some plowing and seeding a large
number of acres of wheat this fall.
They will not move for some time.
The memorial service for W. J.
Bryan last Sunday night at the Evan
gelical church, was not very largely
attended but was very impressive.
The sermon, by Rev. L. Stauss, paid
a glowing tribute to the sterling
Christian character of W J. Bryan.
While L. Xeitzel reviewed the rise of
the "Boy Orator of the Platte," and
his dominant figure in the national
conventions of his party; and his
Crcat achievements as a lecturer, es
pecially when he delivered that
matchless lecture, "The Prince of
Peace." But that he at last, as the
defender of tire Bible and our cherish
ed religion of hope and faith, he over
taxed his strength and died on the
battlefield, a hero, and that he rests
besides George Dewey and the "Un
known Dead" in beautiful Arlington
cemetery, with the heros of a grate
ful nation. The saxaphone quartet
rendered special music which was
appreciated greatly.

Enjoy Visit to Arbor Lodge.
E. H. Miller and wife, Mathew
Thomas and C. I. Long were enjoying
a visit at Arbor Lodge last Sunday,
they driving over and taking their
dinner, which they ate in the cool
shade of the trees which make so
wonderful a place for the picnic
parties which go there from all over
the state as well as from other states.
They also went through the home,
and were entertained by lecturers,
who gave a very interesting discrip
tlon of the early days of the Mortons
in Nebraska and Nebraska City.
Looking Good in West.
Frank Rosenow. who werft to the
western portion of Kansas, some time
since in company with Emil Kuehn,
returned last week, and reported
things looking nicely there, both gen
tlemen have land there and have
wheat Which Frank reports making
better yields than they had expected.
It was raining there and the thresh
ing could not be done at that time
and as Mr. Rosenow fancied he had
work here to look after- and Mr.
Kuehn was looking after matters
there. When Frank arrived at home
he found that the son had completed
the fall plowing and thus he was out
of a job when he got home.
Will Visit Here Soon.
A letter from W. P. Meyers, who
is at this time at Sharon, Pa., which
says he will have his vacation in a
short time and will come to visit with
friends in Murdock for a time and
will arrive in a short time. Mr.
Meyers has made good in his chosen
profession that of the field of elec

SIMMONS TO GET
HEARING BEFORE
SPECIAL SESSION
Apreal of Condemned Han Will Come
2efore Four Judges Moiliers
Plan t Omaha Failing.
The sxipreme court will meet at 11
o'clock Friday to hear the appeal cf
Simmons:, whose reprieve from elecr
trocution expires next Tuesday.
Judge Holmes, attorney who fiied
the cppeal. conferred with Acting
Chief Justice Dean and' Judge Day
of the supic-me court Thursday after
noon. Judge Good is in Lincoln and
with Judge Eberly of Stanton pres
ent a majority of the coi'.rt can be as
sembled. Deputy Clerk Victor Seymour was
requested to telephone' Judge Eberly
at his home at Stanton. In reply.
Judge Eberly S3id he could be in
Lincoln Friday at the time designat
ed for a hearing.
The question of a suspension of
sentence or stay of execution may be
one of the many questions discussed
before the court. The case appealed
is a habeas corpus proceeding insti
tuted in the district court of Lancas
ter county. Judsre Wheeler of the
district court declined to dismiss the
case but entered judgment in this
form:
"That the writ of habeas corp'.is
previously issued be dismissed at
plaintiff costs and that the peti
tioner be remanded to the defendant,
Fenton. to await) the execution of the
death sentence previously imposed.
Petitioner excepts. No supersedeas
and on stay cf execution."
This order i3 appealed from. Un
less th court hear-, the appeal speed
ily the case might remain on the
docket indefinitely.
Assisiant Attorney Gr-nerrl Dort
has entered objections to the filing
of the appeal, alleging th.it no final
appealable order was issued by the
district court, that there are no
grounds for an appeal, that the cao
was not finally submitted by the
plaintiff and the warden cT the peni
tentiary, defendant, had no oppor
tunity to cross question witnesses
nor to introduce evidence.
Judge Holmes may raise a n?w
question in court Friday by challe ng
ing the right of the governor to fix
a time for the execution of the death
sentence in the reprieves issued by
him.
Lack Automobiles
Omaha. Aug. 6. Plans for a "save
Simmons" automobile parade of
Omaha chapter of war mothers were
reported fading tonight for lack of
automobiles. It had been planned to
send several car loads of women to
Lincoln.
Ten automobiles are needed if the
delegates are to drive to Lincoln to
morrow to interview Governor Mc
Mullen on Simmons' fate.
As a general thing, Americans do
not give their moral support to the
rebate s3-stem, but when a man
spends a lot of money going to an
expensive summer resort and then
buys a paper from his home town
telling of steady tcmreratures rang
ing from 62 to 70 degrees back thare.
he is certainly entitled to some slight
measure of "adjustment."
PIG CROP NEARLY
A FIFTH SMALLER
Nebraska Farmers Also Plan to Re
duce Fall Crop One Quarter
More.
The Nebraska spring pig crop i3
19.2 per cent less than last year, ac
cording to a survej- made by mail
carriers and released by the state and
federal crop reporting service today.
Litters averaged 5.3 pigs.
Farmers plan to decrease the fall
pig crop 25 per cent.
The pig crop for the entire coun
try is only S.7 per cent less than last
spring, and the number of sow3 far
rowing is 1S.S per cent less. Litters
averaged larger.
Nebraska farmers last December
planned to breed 88.5 per cent of the
number of sows bred for the 1924 pig
crop. The June survey shows that
the number of sows farrowing was
74.8 per cent of the number farrow
ing in the spring of 1924, a decrease
of 23.2 per cent. Since the average
number of spring pigs per litter was
5.3. compared to 4.7 in 1924, the pig
crop is only ID. 2 per cent less than
a year ago.
Nebraska farmers' intentions to
breed 25 per cent fewer sows for fall
farrowing than in the fall of 1924
will make a marked reduction in hogs
in Nebraska, but the state will still
have the normal supply, since hog
production has increased heavily
since 1920.
Surplus hog production increased
nearly SO per cent from 1920 to 1925.
The record of market receipts of hogs
from Nebraska is: Hogs marketed in
1920, 3. 437. 000 head; 1921. 3.5S3.-)
000; 1922,4,159.000; 1923, 5.7S0,-j
000 : 1924, C.43S.O0O.
Less wheat and larger corn crops
and the cheap corn after 1920 stimu
lated hog production, until hog prices
decreased and corn prices increased ;
to a point where hog production was
not profitable.
The decrease in spring pigs in the
com belt states was only 10.fi per
tent, and the decrease in sows far
rowing was 19.9 per cent. The de
crease in spring pigs for the entire
country was S.7 per cent, and the de
crease in sows farrowing was 1S.S
per cent. The average number of
pigr saved per litter was much larger
throughout the country.
The number of sows bred for fall
farrow is reported as 4.5 per cent
larger th:;n the number actually far
rowed in the fall of 1924 for the
United States and about 1 per cent
larger in the corn belt.
Previous surveys have shown that
fall farrowing have been 2t to 25
per cent less than the number re
ported bred. Because of the in
creased prices of hogs, and prospects
for a very large corn crop, it is prob
able that actual farro wings this fall
will more nearly approach numbers
reported bred than during the three
previous years.
Compared with 1923, the peak pro
duction year, the number of sows
farrowed this spring is about 36 per
cent smaller, both in the united
Slates and in the corn belt.
EXPECT NEW RESULTS
IN GANGER RESEARCH
British Experimenters Recently Fro
duce Growth in Rats and
Chickens With New Virus.
London, July 17. A new an
nottneement regarding the cancer
work of the British medical research
council may soon be expected. This
announcement will deal with the
next step in the work cf the research
council, while announced this week
the discovery by Dr. W. E. Gye and
J. E. Barnard of a virus believed to
cause cancer.
At the sane time experiments are
being made in causing cancer in rats
and mice and chickens by means of
the newly discovered virus, other ex
periments are being conducted in im
munizing these animals against the
virus, and in connection with this
work the new revelations are to be
made.
While it would be an exaggera
tion to say a cure for cancer is in
sight, the new announcement is ex
pected to indicate probabilities of
finding a method of vaccination
against cancer.
It can be stated that the discovery
of the virus believed to be an im
portaut causative against cancer by
Dr. Gye and Mr. Barnard has been
confirmed by independent investiga
tion undertaken by Dr. R. G. Mur
ray of the Imperial Cancer Research
fund. This fact is of prime impor
tance rince it gives high scientific
confirmation of the discovery of Dr.
Gye.
The conclusion reached by Dr. Gye
and Dr. Barnard is that cancer is
caused by a virus, thai is, by specific
organisms, which in themselves are
insufficient directly to cause cancer
ous growths, but do so when used in
connection with a supposedly chem
ical substance obtained from tumors,
which Dr. Gye calls the "specific fac
tor." The culmination of Dr. Gye's pres
ent series cf experiments was
reached last May when, with cultures
made from human cancer virus, the
specific factor, he caused a cancer
ous growth in a chicken iu all re
spects similar to the chicken sar
coma, with which cancer experts
have long been familiar. His con
clusion that there exists a virus com
mon to cancerous growths is sup
ported by the circumstance;; that
microscopic photographs of a consid
erable number of different cultures
revealed the existence Of a seeming
ly similar organism.

LAND DRIFTING
THEORY TO
TEST BY RADIO
World Wide Check by Time Sii-nol:
..Will Be Used by
Geodesists.
Washington. Some natural sci
entists believe that North and South
America are drifting westward and
that Greenland and Canada are grad
ually separating according to Maj.
William Bowie, chief of the division
of Geodesy of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, in an in
terview in which he discusses the
proposal of using radio signals to
test the validity of this theory.
"Personally, I do not believe in this
theory," states . Major Bowie, "but
accurate radio longitudinal deter
minations, repeated at intervals of
five. 10 or other groups of years, will
surely prove whether the theory is
true or false. Most of us, however,
believe that the earth's crust is so
solid and strong that there is no pos
sibility tif one continent moving
away from another like icebergs can
separate."
This suggested use of radio, obvi
ously, offers spectacular possibilities.
However, no less a distinguished na
tural scientific body than the Int r
natienal Geodetic and Geophysical
Union, at its meeting in Madrid.
Spain, during October, 1924. foi mu
lcted plans to make longitude de
terminations for a number of sta
tions located around the earth. Time
signals, flashed by radio from power
ful transmitting stations, will be
used in making precise measurements
of distances in terms of longitudes.
"In this way, explains Major Bowie
in discussing this world-wide plan to
employ radio in making astronomic
longitures, "there will be a closed
circuit, thus insuring elimination of
even the small errors incident to
longitude work. There may be six I
or eight separate differences in longi
tude between each two contiguous
stations and the sum of these differ
ences must add a total of 300 de
grees. Many nations will participate
in this world-wide radio longitude
net and, as a result, each country will
have its ba"e station for longitude de
terminations maintained with greater
accuracy than was possible by means
of the old methods of transmitting
time signals over caides and tele
graph lines.
"Much preliminary work must he
done before this worid-wide plan Is
initiated, but it is Loped that ob
servations will begin late in 192".
The base station determined from
this work will serve as in initial
point for .surveys, nnps. and cIku Is
for the countries of the world. There
is, too, a more spectacular side iha.i
merely furnishing base ;tltions for
the various countries that is. to de
termine whether continents and
islands are drifting around with re
spect to each other.
"All of the above is related to
accurate determinations of longitudes
when even hundredths of a second
must be considered. But there is
vastly more difference in longitude
determinations each day in which
radio plays the major role. This is
In connection with navigations of
thousands of ships over oceans daily.
Captains of vessels must obtain their
longitudes and latitudes if the
weather is clear. They determine
local time by observations on the sun
or on a star and compare their time
with radio time signals, trans miM ed
from one of the many radio stations
of the world, which daily are sending
the time signals.
"Before the use of radio time sig
nals, each ship had to carry several
high-grade chronometers, with which
the captain could obtain the Green
v.hich time. With the use of radio a
very much cheaper chronometer or
even a high-grade watch can be em
ployed in securing the longitude of
the ship in connection with r?d:
time signals. Radio, as a sort of
chart or guide, is u?ed by explorers,
whether they are in the Arctic Ocean,
in the wolds uf Brazil, in the desert
